Hi fam!

The future’s knocking. We’re not talking vague sci-fi — we’re talking right now. AI is shifting from “cool toy” to operational backbone. If you don’t want to watch it happen from the sidelines, you’re gonna want a plan.

I’ve collected 12 free courses that’ll get you from “what even is AI?” to “I build AI tools” — and you can start today.

Why 2026 matters. By 2026:

• AI will be baked into your job, your tools, your meeting calendar.

• If you’re only half-aware of it, you’ll feel like you’re playing catch-up.

• The ones who understand AI will own the damage control, own the workflows, even shape the strategy.

  P.S. Choose one course this week. Set a calendar reminder. Make it non-negotiable. The only thing between you and the AI era is your first click.

Welcome to the AI Era of 2026 — your free fast-track course list

AI isn’t the shiny new gadget anymore — it’s the operating system of work. If you still treat it like a toy, by 2026 you’ll be asking someone younger to explain your own job back to you.

So I pulled together 12 free AI courses that’ll take you from zero to building your own automations — step by step. Read the full course descriptions here.

Step 1: Get the Basics

• Introduction to AI

• AI for All: From Basics to GenAI Practice

• Boost your Productivity with AI Tools

Step 2: Understand How It Thinks

Step 3: Build, Lead & Deploy

• Machine Learning for All

• AI Foundations: Machine Learning

• Accelerate Data Science Workflows

Why this matters:

• By 2026, AI won’t replace you — the person using AI will.

• Every hour you invest in learning this now will 10× your productivity later.

• The people who understand how to build with AI will design the new economy.

So here’s the deal: pick one course this week. Calendar it. Treat it like your gym routine.

The AI era is starting — and you’re early.

⚡ Learn it. Build it. Lead it.

The AI Race Just Went Nuclear — Own the Rails.

Meta, Google, and Microsoft just reported record profits — and record AI infrastructure spending:

• Meta boosted its AI budget to as much as $72 billion this year.

• Google raised its estimate to $93 billion for 2025.

• Microsoft is following suit, investing heavily in AI data centers and decision layers.

While Wall Street reacts, the message is clear: AI infrastructure is the next trillion-dollar frontier.

RAD Intel already builds that infrastructure — the AI decision layer powering marketing performance for Fortune 1000 brands. Backed by Adobe, Fidelity Ventures, and insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon, the company has raised $50M+, grown valuation 4,900%, and doubled sales contracts in 2025 with seven-figure contracts secured.

Shares remain $0.81 until Nov 20, then the price changes.

Survive 2026 Like a Boss: 6 AI Agentic Courses That’ll Give Your Business Superpowers

Ready to rocket your business into 2026 with AI agents? If you skipped our first list of 12 courses, thinking, “These are all for beginners,” then we’ve got a pro-level list just for you! Picture this: You’re standing at the center of the AI revolution, sipping your overpriced oat-milk latte, and suddenly you realize everyone around you is speaking in Python, deploying custom AI agents like it’s freaking Pokémon, and their business is scaling faster than Elon Musk’s tweet impressions.

Let’s not get left behind—it’s time to LEVEL UP!
So if you want to be the CEO who actually understands what the nerds at the table are saying, here's your cheat code to creating your own AI agents: six courses to take your business from “AI-curious” to “AI-legit!”

1. Fundamentals of AI Agents Using RAG and LangChain (IBM)

What it is:
Like starting a business with cheat codes—this one gives you the basics of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and the LangChain framework, so you can build agents that actually fetch useful info (unlike interns).

2. Large Language Model Agents (Berkeley/Stanford)

What it is:
Want your customer support chatbots to sound less like rude robots and more like Shaan after 3 espressos? Learn to build LLM agents that reason, plan, and execute like the world’s best executive assistant.

3. AI Agentic Design Patterns with AutoGen (Microsoft)

What it is:
Agentic design patterns are like IKEA instructions for AI—except less confusing and infinitely more powerful. Learn Microsoft’s tricks to stack agents into actual workflows that make things happen (no Allen key required).
Link: AutoGen Framework and Agentic Patterns

4. AI Agents in LangGraph (LangChain)

What it is:
You ever wish your business processes would just "flow"? LangGraph is like building a lazy river for data and decisions—agents smoothly pass info, and happy customers float right to your bottom line.

5. Serverless Agentic Workflows with Amazon Bedrock (AWS)

What it is:
Want to run AI agents at scale, without worrying about server bills bankrupting you like Shaan’s sports betting strategy? Go serverless with Amazon Bedrock—deploy, scale, and relax.

6. How to Build a Multi Agent AI System (IBM)

What it is:
This is advanced mode—build teams of AI agents that collaborate like the Avengers (except they actually meet their KPIs). Perfect for business leaders who want to automate everything except the free coffee.

Bottom line:
If you want to lead in 2026, forget “thinking outside the box”—you need to build the dang box (with AI agents inside).
Take a course. Outlearn the competition. And next time someone drops “retrieval-augmented generation” at lunch, you’ll wink and say, “I’m already on module 3.”

Your future AI-overlord-self will thank you.

InspiroBot: When AI Tries to Inspire… and Accidentally Breaks You 🧘🤖

We’re all constantly bombarded with inspirational quotes — the kind that tell you to “hustle harder,” “trust the process,” or “live, laugh, love” while you’re just trying to survive another Monday.

So this week, we decided to do something a little different.
Instead of testing a tool that makes our work easier or smarter, we went for one that made us laugh until we cried.

Meet InspiroBot — an AI that generates endless motivational posters, blending deep thoughts with completely random nonsense.
It’s sometimes wise, often weird, and always worth a click. This AI tool proudly claims to “generate endless inspirational quotes.” The result? A mix of existential wisdom, absurd poetry, and pure chaos — all wrapped in calming stock photo backgrounds.

Whether you need a pick-me-up or an existential crisis in Helvetica font, this bot delivers.

 What’s Cool About It

• Endless inspiration loop – Every click gives you a brand-new “motivational” poster.

• Instant results – No login, no settings, just pure philosophical nonsense.

• Weirdly aesthetic – Random quotes paired with oddly serene visuals.

• Perfect for social posts or office wall irony.

 🧪 Our Test – 10 Quotes, 10 Emotional States

We gave InspiroBot a chance to lift our spirits. Here’s what we got in less than two minutes:

1. “An evil thought is whatever you want it to be, obviously.”

2.  “The sun will set, but Wi-Fi is forever.”

3.  “Fear the pigeon inside you.” (???)

4. “People who plan for national security, plan for the earth.”

5. “Some days you’re the cloud. Some days you’re the buffering icon.”

 By quote number five, we were laughing too hard to keep a straight face.
It’s absurd, but somehow… it works.
Between the random words and AI-selected backgrounds (mountains, sunsets, office desks), every image looked like something you’d find framed in a corporate hallway — if that hallway had a sense of humor.

 Final Thoughts

InspiroBot is what happens when motivational posters take a trip through the uncanny valley.
It’s hilarious, oddly profound, and occasionally unsettling — like fortune cookies written by a confused philosopher.

Still, there’s something addictive about clicking “Generate” again just to see what AI wisdom (or nonsense) comes next.
We’re giving it 4 on our LMAI scale — creative chaos with a surprising dose of truth.

And now, if you’ll excuse us — we’re off to believe in the spreadsheet within. 🧘‍♀️
