Paths

Choose Your AI Learning Path

Skip the generic tutorials. Choose a structured learning path tailored to your role, professional goals, and technical comfort level.

🌱 Level 1

AI Curious

"I know AI is a big deal, but I haven't really dived in yet."

You're at the very beginning of your AI journey — and that's a great place to be. Most people are right here with you. The fact that you're taking this quiz means you're already more curious and proactive than the majority.

🧭 Level 2

AI Explorer

"I've started using AI tools and I'm getting the hang of it."

You're already further along than most people. You've moved past the "what is this?" phase and into actual usage. The exciting part? You're probably only scratching the surface of what's possible.

Level 3

AI Practitioner

"AI is part of my daily workflow — I'd miss it if it were gone."

AI isn't a novelty for you anymore — it's a real part of how you work. You've developed instincts for when to reach for AI and how to get good results. Your next frontier is going deeper — whether that means thinking strategically about AI's impact, or building things with it.

🔥 Level 4

AI Advanced

"I've gone deep — in strategy, building, or both."

You're not just using AI well — you've gone deep. Whether you think about AI at the systems level, build things with it, or both, you've moved past individual productivity into creating real impact. That puts you in rare company.

The Fluency Path

Curious to capable, on purpose

Four steps, free and self-paced: find your level with a 2-minute quiz, learn what each level means, work a checklist of real skills, then earn a certificate that proves it.

Build the company that learns faster

I built a browser game about the part of AI adoption many companies underestimate: the system around the tools. Found Brilliant & Co., onboard AI coworkers, and race an incumbent that keeps buying licences instead of changing how it works.

The Toolbox

Tools I actually use

👨‍💻 AI for Coding
Tool
Freemium

Claude Code

Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It reads your codebase, makes changes, runs tests, and handles git workflows — all through natural language.

Best for: Developers and non-developers alike who want an AI that can autonomously read, write, test, and ship code

Fabian's take — "Claude Code is the tool that made me rethink what's possible with AI. I use it to build and maintain this entire website — writing components, managing content, deploying changes. It's like having a senior developer on hand who already knows the whole codebase. What surprised me is how much a non-developer can get done with it once you stop treating it as autocomplete and start giving it real tasks."

Why This Guide

Not just another AI directory

This guide is different because every recommendation and strategy essay comes from hard-earned experience, not tech sponsorships or press releases.

Practitioner-Vetted

I'm an entrepreneur, product manager, and CPO & Chief AI Officer using these systems daily. My recommendations and guides come from real production deployment, not sponsored content.

Honest Ratings & Critiques

Every tool and workflow gets a clear evaluation with specific pros, cons, and limitations. I tell you when a system is overhyped, and when a free alternative beats the commercial software.

Always Current

The generative AI space shifts weekly. Good AI Guide is updated continuously as frameworks mature, new contenders emerge, and APIs evolve.
