Ella WalkerHead of Marketing

What you’d want to know.

Do we need to code?
No. The Academy is built for marketers with no technical background. If you can write a clear brief, you can build an AI agent.
Which AI platform do I need?
Any of the major ones. It is taught across Claude, Copilot, Gemini and Codex/ChatGPT, so you build on whichever your company already uses.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. On the live cohort, the Team plan covers four seats. Online, buy one seat for each person. Live plans · Online
