Outcomes over theory
You spend the day building, testing, and applying — not watching slides.
Our approach
Designed for real outcomes, not prompt theater.
Learn AI Academy runs immersive, hands-on workshops where you bring a real goal, build with coaching, and leave with a workflow you can actually reuse — no jargon, no vendor pitch.
What we believe
Practical AI, built around you.
Every cohort gets the same foundation, then focuses the build around a useful, real outcome.
Your real work
Bring your own goal: a job search, your role, your business, or a project.
Safety & verification
Learn to check accuracy, protect privacy, and actually trust your output.
Reusable systems
Leave with workflows and a 30-day plan so progress keeps compounding.
Who's teaching
Taught by founders who build with AI every day — not influencers.
Learn AI Academy is led by two founders who've started companies, built apps, and coached hundreds of working professionals. We don't just teach these tools — we ship with them in real client work, every day.
Ken Nguyen
Co-Founder · Serial Entrepreneur & AI Builder
Nearly three decades building software, starting companies, and shipping with AI.
Ken is a serial entrepreneur and hands-on builder who has spent nearly 30 years writing software and shipping products — from his first code at 14 to leading AI transformation inside large enterprises. He builds with frontier AI every day: RAG systems, agent workflows, and custom tooling that put models to real work.
He has founded multiple companies across software, real estate, and consumer products, and has coached hundreds of working professionals and dozens of teams through actually adopting AI — turning hype into workflows people use.
