What is Gen AI University?

Gen AI University is a membership platform and community built by Darby, founder of Jasper (started January 2021), to help people at every skill level learn how to integrate, adapt, and grow with generative AI technologies. It combines ongoing coaching, live events, workshops, and a training vault so members can apply AI tools to their specific business and day-to-day needs.

Who is Gen AI University for?

The platform is built for a range of members: beginners who feel overwhelmed by the pace of AI change, experienced “AI Pros” looking for a competitive edge, and team leaders, marketers, managers, or executives who want to help their whole organization level up. Each group finds a path through the same core programs, community, and platform.

What do members get access to?

  1. Ongoing coaching, training, and support — updated weekly and monthly to keep members current with what’s happening in AI.
  2. Live events — coaches, monthly challenges, and events for the community, recorded and broken down into trainings and resources for anyone who can’t attend live.
  3. The Gen AI University training vault — courses broken into small, bite-sized actionable content as well as longer-form interviews and deep-dive workshops.
  4. Tool-specific guidance — help deciding which generative AI tools (Jasper, Claude, ChatGPT, and others) to use, when, and how to build personal workflows (“recipes”) around them.
  5. Additional courses, including content stemming from an involvement with UC Berkeley beginning in early 2023, plus weekly deep dives and mastery programs.

What problem does Gen AI University solve?

According to the video, simply having access to AI tools isn’t enough — many are free, but knowing how to use and approach them, and adapting your mindset to unlock their potential, is the real challenge. Gen AI University aims to close that gap through community, coaching, and continually updated resources, so members aren’t figuring it out alone and can apply AI directly to their real-world use cases.

Hey, how’s it going? Darby here from Gen AI University, and I want to quickly welcome you to Gen AI University and what we’re all about here. So from day one of Jasper several years ago, starting in January 2021, I’ve been at the front lines of generative AI, and boy has this industry changed on a daily basis — it’s pretty impossible to keep up with. So what we’ve dedicated to building here at Gen AI University is a platform that helps people from beginner all the way to advanced and beyond learn how to integrate, adapt, and grow with generative AI technologies.

How do you learn these tools and apply them specifically for your business to streamline your operations and enhance your day-to-day, and adjust and adapt as things change? Because that’s the one constant I’ve seen over the past few years — you never know what’s going to come next. But the one thing I did see consistency with was the community we started building, and the challenges, the workshops, the events, the trainings, the coaching, and the community all in one is what you see here at Gen AI University.

So I just wanted to give you a quick walkthrough of what you would get as a member of our platform, again from just the beginner stages — you’re just getting started and you’re overwhelmed by all the options out there and the speed of change is almost too much to keep up with at times — to the seasoned AI pro who is looking for that edge in gaining a competitive advantage in their business, to a team leader or a marketer or a manager or an executive who’s looking at ways they can level up their entire organization. There’s a place for you here at Gen AI University, and it all starts with our programs and our community and our platform, which you see here inside of Gen AIU.

So basically what you get as a member of our community is access to ongoing coaching, training, and support that we are updating weekly and monthly to keep you on the cutting edge of what’s going on here at Gen AI University and the world of AI as we continue to evolve and adapt with the change. But having a community, I’ve found, is a great way to just stay on top of things and know that you’re not going at this alone. Also, a rising tide raises all ships, and that’s what you get here as a member — just one of the benefits, because the other is the live events, where we’re bringing on coaches, doing monthly challenges, events that are keeping our entire community up to date. But even if you can’t attend these live, we break them down into recordings, into trainings, into resources that go into training vaults, and one example you’ll see here is the Gen AI University training vault, which has a number of different courses broken down into small, bite-sized, actionable content, all the way to longer-form interviews and deep-dive workshops that we have in here.

Again, from just starting out and trying to get some forward progress and momentum, to specific applications, to leveraging tools like Jasper, Claude, ChatGPT, and a number of other generative AI tools, knowing which tool to use when and where, and then how do you create your own workflows, your own recipes — how do you become a recipe rock star, as we call it — to go and streamline your workflows in business with these automations and using AI to stay ahead of the game. As we update our community, as we evolve, these training vaults are constantly changing, and we have different events and workshops on a regular basis for members of our community to join, participate in, and learn, and stay a step ahead of the game — you’ll see that here as well.

Outside of this specific area in our community, we’ve got other courses and content that, on the left-hand side as you can see, stem from our involvement with UC Berkeley at the beginning of 2023, to mastery programs, and I’ve gone through deep dives on a weekly basis to help people go from overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, to having a solid foundation for integrating AI for their business and using it to scale far beyond where they were at when they first started and joined our community.

So all that said, we’d love to have you join us and we’d love to have you be a part of this community. If it sounds like something of interest to you — if you’re looking for learning how to use AI and integrating it specifically for your real-world use case, your real application of the tools, if you want to create your own workflows, if you want to save yourself hours of time on specific processes or open up new areas of opportunity that you can tap into for business growth, or just learn how to maybe use AI to make the day-to-day of your everyday life better, to stay on top of things in one way or another, in ways that have never been possible before we had access to this technology — but just having access really isn’t enough, is what I’ve come to find. It’s how do you put that access — and even a lot of these tools are free — but how do you use them and approach them and adapt your mindset to leveraging them to reach and unlock the full potential that these tools give us access to and are capable of? Well, it might just be a tweak or two in a prompt you’ve been working on. It might be a tool that you didn’t even know existed that could cut your workflow time in half. And it might just be a connection you make inside of the community, inside of our network, to help you again adapt, integrate, and grow with generative AI.

So if that sounds like something that you’d get value out of, if that sounds like something you’re interested in — taking yourself to the next level by harnessing generative AI technology — then I invite you to enroll in Gen AI University, select the plan that works best for you. And if you’re not ready to enroll, go ahead and subscribe to our newsletter, where we send out news updates, insights, and special offers to folks to keep the entire community on the cutting edge of where generative AI is going. But if you want more, if you want hands-on training, if you want the most up-to-date content that we’re creating and putting our time, energy, and effort into producing, enroll in Gen AI University. I guarantee you that if you put the time and commitment in to learning and being involved with the community, you will absolutely see the results in your life and in your business and become better for it. So if that sounds like you, enroll in Gen AIU and I’ll see you on the inside.
