Build your first AI automations in 30 guided days
The AI-Curious Starter is a day-by-day plan that takes you from never having automated anything to three working automations you own. Your first win needs no AI key and costs nothing to run.
What the AI-Curious Starter is
A guided 30-day program that turns “I know I should use AI” into three automations running in your own accounts.
Most beginners get stuck in the same place: a pile of open tabs, a vague sense that AI could help, and no first step that actually works. This fixes that. You duplicate one Notion program, and each day gives you a small, clear task. By the end of the first week you have shipped a real automation without touching an API key. By day 30 you have three, and you understand how each one works.
What you’ll pay: $19 once for everything here, and it is yours forever. Two of the three automations run on free tools with no ongoing cost. The third is optional: it uses your own AI credit, about a dollar or two a month, plus Make’s Core plan at $9 a month. Skip it and you still finish with two working automations.
- A 30-day Notion program you duplicate, with a checkbox for each day
- Your first win with no AI key, live in the first week at zero cost
- 21 on-ramp prompts for using AI in your business, ready to paste
- 3 ready-to-import Make blueprints, not a blank canvas to figure out
- Plain-English explainers for every new word, the day you meet it
- Real cost numbers so the money side stops being scary
- Runs on free tiers, with one clearly optional paid step
- One-time and yours forever, no subscription to us
The three automations you build
Week 1: No-key first win
A contact form that emails you the moment someone fills it in. Runs on Make’s free plan with no AI key at all.
Week 3: Your first AI job
A weekly content-idea digest written by Claude. The optional step where you meet an API key, on your terms.
Week 4: Weekly review
A summary of your week built from a simple Notion table and emailed to you. No AI key needed.
How the 30 days work
- Week 1: foundations. Meet Make, learn why your first automation is cheap to run, and ship it. A live automation, no key, no cost.
- Week 2: meet Claude. Use AI by hand with the prompt pack, learn what it really costs, and clear up the Claude Pro versus API confusion.
- Week 3: your first AI automation. Add an API key on your terms and connect Claude to Make, or skip it and stay on the free path.
- Week 4: consolidate. Build a weekly review, learn to work inside the free plan, and leave with a clear list of what to automate next.
