Hey everyone, I’m Max 👋 This is my third time launching on PH and it’s still a little scary but here goes… In February when the AI hype cycle fully hit, I was in a good ol’ existential spiral. Jargon like AGI or LLM's went straight over my head, I kept seeing mindblowing usecases for AI yet had no idea how to implement them myself…oh and I just had this continual sense of anxiety about all of it without knowing why. 🤨 Problem. To escape the spiral, I thought I’d “start learning about this stuff”. But without knowing what I don’t know, I was totally overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start, which tools to try etc… So I needed something that was more structured and sustainable. 😎 Solution That’s when I decided to set myself the challenge of learning practical AI skills for 30 mins everyday for 100 days in April. There the 100DaysOfAI Challenge was born. And since, 1K+ people have taken part. It has 3 simple but powerful rules to live by... 1. Publicly commit ⏭ to feel the force of social accountability 2. Learn for at least 30 mins everyday ⏭ so each day compounds on top of the next 3. Share your progress with others ⏭ to get feedback + support as you learn 😎 😎 An Even Better Solution But whilst this is a good system for learning, the question still remains “what should I learn”? That’s why I’ve created a totally free, fun and effective way to learn practical AI skills in just 30 minute a day with fully guided bitesized lessons delivered straight to your inbox. No more AI anxiety, wondering where to start and what tools to use, just daily action. You'll learn everything from building chatbots, creating art, data analysis and much more - all skills that will give you superhuman output. I hope this makes your AI learning journey a little less rocky than mine! Would love any feedback you have 👇 Build leverage over your time, money and ideas by learning probably the most important skill of 2024. Commit today. Starting Jan 1st Thankyou for hunting us @chrismessina 🙏

Very exciting you pushed trough with this @hainingmax! The No-Code challenge already opened so many doors for non-tech people like me, I'm sure #100DaysOfAI will help even more!

@chrismessina @hainingmax The 100DaysOfAI challenge sounds like a fantastic initiative for anyone looking to dive into AI, Max! Committing to learning practical AI skills for 30 minutes a day and sharing progress can create a strong learning environment. It's great that over 1,000 people have already taken part. The idea of structured, bite-sized lessons sent directly to participants' inboxes makes the learning process accessible and manageable. Covering a wide range of topics from chatbots to art creation and data analysis is sure to provide valuable skills. I'm curious, do participants need any prior knowledge of AI or programming to start the challenge? Excited to see the impact this challenge could have on AI skill development in 2024!
Max Haining
@chrismessina @sichen_shao thanks so much! No prior knowledge needed so all good!!

@leelaunches Thanks and keep launching @leelaunches 🚀
Happy to see this launch! As a challenger, there were some busy days I couldn't prioritize, and when it stacks up, it's tough to keep up a week of content in a day! A 100-day program is a big commitment!! Overall, the content is nurturing, educative, and motivating! Thanks for putting these valuable guides out there!
Guillaume Bardet
Glad you found the challenge nurturing, educative, and motivating @bahar_ozkan! This must be music to @hainingmax hears! Let us know if there's anything we could have done to improve the experience for you. Thank you for getting involved in the challenge and supporting the launch! ✌️
Max Haining
@bahar_ozkan soooo glad you took part and enjoyed the challenge 🙏 any highlight lessons from the last round? As you it can be tough and it's definitely no mean feat 😅 Each round of the challenge we'll be making it a little easier for folks to build a habit. Really appreciate the support!
James
If there’s any skill it would pay dividends to focus on in 2024, it’s AI. Excited to try this out, Max does such a great job of explaining things!
Guillaume Bardet
Couldn't agree more and thanks for supporting the launch, @jamesdevonport! Is there anything specific you're hoping to learn? 🤔
Max Haining
@jamesdevonport appreciate it James!! Definitely does feel like one of, if not THE skill to learn in 2024. I think it will just become basic "literacy" that everyone needs to have. Hopefully we can help with that 😊
Germán Merlo
It's awesome to see you launching something so innovative @hainingmax - this would help so many people! I'm sure this will be a huge hit!

Hey Max! Congrats on launching for the third time! Your 100DaysOfAI Challenge sounds interesting. What are some of the mind-blowing use cases you've come across? Excited to hear more about your free guided lessons!
Max Haining
@goyashy thanks so much!! I'd say the voice replication / transciption by HeyGen and ElevenLabs is crazy good Do you have any fave usecases for AI?
Aashish Peepra
@hainingmax Hey Max! 👋 Love the idea behind the 100DaysOfAI Challenge! 🚀 It's awesome that you're simplifying the AI learning journey. 🧠 What's the most surprising or impactful skill that participants have gained through the challenge so far? Excited to explore the possibilities!
Harold

Great to hear you like it @aashish_peepra ! It will open up a lot of new possibilities, especially for the non-techies among us - being able to build your own ideas where you previously always had to ask others. The guided path helped me A LOT to learn No-Code two years ago, so I'm really excited we also have an AI path now 🚀

I love the concept of challenges, and the test tubes and chemical reactions are very appealing. The innovation of AI is rapid, and our learning within these 100 days is constantly unlocking a new self. The reading product, Readbay.ai, which is launching tomorrow, also incorporates an AI coach to provoke everyone's thinking. I hope AI experts like you can provide more suggestions. It would be an honor. I'm also joining this 100-day challenge!❤️
Max Haining
@ouyangke yayy!! so exciting to have you onboard the 100 days squad. Anything specific you're excited to learn? ❤️ What is Readbay? sounds like a reading buddy?
Xie
@hainingmax Haha, I most wish to master the skills in the Phase 1 section of the Journey map you've drawn. Art creation is also one of my interests. Readbay.ai is a reading app that helps everyone develop a reading habit in a relaxed and simple way. The AI coach in it will provoke our thoughts and help build a personalized toolkit for the future. As an education product maker, I welcome the advent of AI. It makes content production faster and more abundant, but in reading, I still believe that quality is over quantity. Using AI to provoke our deep thinking is a major point of interest for me. It's launching tomorrow, and I look forward to your suggestions and feedback.❤️
Max Haining
@ouyangke love this! I struggle with developing a reading habit so this really resonates. excited for the launch! hope you enjoy phase 1
Paul Sobiecki
I need to try it out! Can I learn from this which already existing tools would fit my needs?

As a former participant of 100daysofnocode and empowered by its benefits, I have no doubts that the new approach to AI will also provide great learning and benefits for all upcoming participants.
