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.

“Forecasting now updates in real time. We adjust faster and smarter, with fewer surprises.”

“Compliance wasn’t skipped. It was built in. Our audit team had zero objections to the rollout.”

“AI flagged a fraud issue before it hit us. That alone paid for the course.”

“Scenario planning now runs before our morning meetings. We’re making decisions at speed and with confidence.”

“If you lead with both precision and prudence, this program aligns perfectly with how you work.”
