Hey Friends 👋

The hard part of learning AI is not the technology. It is working out what deserves your attention. This site is my answer: free courses that run from your first command to a deployed application, the projects I have built and what each one taught me, and honest assessments of which books and certifications were worth the time. The aim is to bring calm to the noisiest topic there is, and to meet people worth building with. I have no computer science degree. That is the point, not the caveat.

Build a morning brief that writes itself

The First Build is the whole thing: the actual instructions I use, every decision behind them, and the parts I got wrong. No code, and you can have it running by the end of an evening.

I'll send it straight to your inbox, plus new builds as I publish them. Free, always — unsubscribe anytime.

How much have you used AI so far?

Barely at allNow and thenMost days, with mixed resultsA lot, and now I want to build

A morning briefing that writes itself

A daily email that is waiting for me before I start work. Toronto weather in plain language, the world news that actually matters, Canadian financial services headlines on rates, banks and AI adoption, what moved in AI, market movers like the Nasdaq and Nvidia, anything touching the consulting world I work in, and a conversation starter I can actually use that day.

An AI communication coach for hard conversations

A web app that runs you through realistic workplace scenarios, like a tough client, a skeptical exec, or a difficult teammate, and coaches your delivery in real time, then scores it.

Hey, I'm Mubien 👋

I got curious about AI, started building around a full time job, and somewhere along the way shipped real things: a communication coach, a governance agent, small tools people actually use.

I don't have a computer science degree. That is exactly the point. If I can do this, the barrier is far lower than it looks, and I want to show the path, not just talk about it. Everything here is free, and I hope to keep it that way.
