Join AI Gurukul: building with AI, made easy
AI Gurukul is an online community, run by me on Skool, where people who do not code learn to build AI Employees with Claude. It starts with a free 7 day challenge: learn how to build your first AI Employee, your AI Personal Assistant, one part a day.
The first 7 days are free. After that it is USD 6 a month, and the first 100 members keep USD 6 for life. Cancel any time. Claude itself is a separate cost: you need a paid Claude plan, which Anthropic charges for.
I do not write code. I never learned. My company still runs on AI Employees that I built myself. AI Gurukul is where I teach the same method.
Plenty of people have watched the videos and read the threads, and they are still only chatting with AI. What most of them want is simple: build one helper that actually does a job, with someone showing each step. That is what this community is for.
What is AI Gurukul?
A place to learn by building. Not a course you watch and forget. Every lesson ends with something you build on your own laptop, for your own work. You share it, you get stuck, you get help, you finish.
It teaches one thing first: the AI Employee. An AI Employee is an AI agent set up for one clear job, with instructions, memory, a few apps, rules and testing. If that is new, read what is an AI Employee? or the shorter what is agentic AI, in plain words?.
How does the free 7 day challenge work?
You build one AI Personal Assistant and add one part each day, with step by step lessons. Get Ready: Claude Pro, VS Code and Claude Code set up. Day 1, meet your assistant. Day 2, give it a brain. Day 3, teach it a job. Day 4, give it hands: Gmail and Calendar, reading only. Day 5, rules and testing. Day 6, put it on a timer. Day 7, birth day: your assistant gets its birth certificate.
By Day 7 it reads your Gmail and Calendar every morning, tells you what matters today, drafts replies for you to check, and keeps your to-do list. It never sends.
The full day by day plan, with what you build each day, is here: how to build an AI Employee in 7 days with Claude. You can follow that article alone, for free. The challenge adds step by step lessons, starter files, and people to ask when you are stuck.
What is inside the community?
- The classroom. The 7 day challenge first. New tracks after that, such as going from one AI Employee to a small AI team.
- The community feed. Share what you built, ask questions, see what others are building.
- Live sessions with me. Bring your AI Employee, get stuck, get it fixed.
- Levels. Help others and you level up, which opens bonus lessons.
What does AI Gurukul cost?
- The first 7 days are free.
- Then USD 6 a month. Cancel any time.
- The first 100 members keep USD 6 for life.
- Claude is separate. The builds use a paid Claude plan, paid to Anthropic, not to us. Claude Pro was USD 20 a month billed monthly on claude.com/pricing on 24 October 2026. Indian users are billed in rupees, so check the price in your account.
I want to be clear about that last point before you join, not after. The community is cheap. The AI tool is the bigger cost, and you pay it whether you learn with us or alone. For how that compares with hiring help, read what an AI Employee costs compared with hiring someone in India.
Do I need to know coding?
No. You describe the job in plain English and Claude does the technical part. You do need a laptop, and you need to be willing to follow steps on screen and check what the AI does.
Who is AI Gurukul for?
- Office workers who want hours back from email, meetings and reports. See how office workers use AI agents.
- Small business owners who do everything themselves. See the first jobs to hand over.
- People who make content. See AI Employees for content creators.
- College students and anyone curious who wants to build, not only chat. Students who are 18 or older can join directly.
- Families. Claude accounts are for adults 18+. Under 18? Learn it together: the parent builds the assistant, and the child learns alongside. Parents, see the best AI communities and courses for your child.
Who is it not for?
- People looking for a money making scheme. We do not promise income. We teach you to save your own time.
- Programmers who want deep technical training. This is built for people who do not code.
- Anyone who will not check the AI's work. Every build here keeps a person in charge.
