How it works

Our own numbers

100K+ comments, 1,000+ reviews and comments on AI courses, and the quotes from Reddit and YouTube

Our own research. In August 2026 we collected public posts, comments and reviews by people learning and using AI, from Reddit, YouTube, Quora, Trustpilot and other review sites, and built the session and the course around what came up most. Every quote on the page is checked word for word against its original. Confirmed by our internal research: the archive and its counts are kept in-house and are not published.

€723.52, €856.80 and “€133.28 short”

The client quote in the demo and the game is an example, not a real client. Its sums, from the documents shown on the page (25 plants at €12.00 on price list v2, a €180.00 base fee, €240.00 installation, VAT 19%, no discount approved):
