Great consultants combine data-driven insights and highly tailored strategic advice, but are often bogged down by extensive manual research, labor-intensive data analysis, and the repetitive creation of deliverables.

The AI for coding course at Rundown AI University 20x'd my output as a software developer without me having to figure everything out myself. Their other courses on writing, email marketing, and various AI applications were equally valuable. I'm grateful to be part of this community that teaches both the power and practical limitations of AI.

The new RU platform looks great—much more modern and easier to use. The direction of the new niche courses feels far more relevant to where AI’s actually being used day-to-day. The consulting one in particular stood out and feels spot-on.

~ James Wheable

This is great for anyone interested in AI — no technical knowledge needed. I highly recommend it and am currently preparing to take the exam for certification.

Thanks for the fantastic lessons you guys have here on your AI university website. I just started at a new company, working on designing and developing the front end of a Healthcare webportal, and am already outperforming their expectations.

The Rundown opened up my eyes to what's possible with AI. Going into it I only tinkered on a couple AI tools but didn't actually use them in my work — and after only a couple days of learning. I created an AI agent that responds to my emails n my behalf. Game changer for my business.

With both overviews and deep dives in every direction AI, there's no better way to stay relevant and on top of the best ways to implement these new technologies into our lives. If you have specific questions, or are looking for networking opportunities. The Rundown is the place to be.

“I came in wanting sharper proposals. I left with a framework to run engagements from start to finish—with less friction.”

“The mindset shift was immediate: AI isn’t replacing consultants—it’s partnering with them. That lens changed how I work.”

“The case studies? Practical. Grounded. They helped me scope projects honestly and stop overpromising timelines.”

“Clients don’t ask how we got the insights—they see it. Our deliverables speak clearly, and that builds trust.”

“If your days are stretched thin across clients, this course gives you back time—and control.”
