NextGen Member: get comfortable with AI, one job at a time
Short, plain-English AI lessons for small business owners, for work and for home. Read one in five minutes, try it, and keep going at your own pace.
What's inside
- The lesson library. Every lesson is short and plain: what it is, why it matters, a copy-and-paste prompt, and a 5-minute exercise.
- New lessons as we go. We keep adding lessons, grouped into short mini courses with a clear order.
- A start-here path. New to AI? You'll know exactly which lesson to open first.
- Work and home. Customer emails and quotes, and also meal plans, confusing letters and family schedules.
- No extra tools to buy. Works with the free ChatGPT you already have. Claude and Gemini work too.

Questions owners ask
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. If you can copy and paste, you can do this. Each lesson walks you through one small job at a time.
Do I have to pay for an AI tool?
No. The free plan of ChatGPT works for the lessons. Claude and Gemini work too.
How is Member different from the $47 kit?
The kit is five routines you buy once and keep. Member is a growing library of lessons for $19 a month. They stay separate. If you already have the kit, your first month of Member is free: use the link on your kit download page or in your kit email.
Can I cancel?
Cancel anytime in one click in the members portal. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for. Not for you? Get a full refund within 7 days of your first payment.
Where are the lessons?
In a private members area. You log in with your email address.
Is it safe to use AI with my business information?
You decide what goes in. Every lesson reminds you what never to paste, like card numbers, passwords and full customer details.
