Who Writes Our Free Courses
Our free self-paced courses are a genuine human-AI collaboration, roughly 50% human and 50% AI.
These courses are not someone typing a single prompt and publishing whatever comes out.
We do not use a free or entry-level AI. We invest in one of the most advanced professional-tier AI models available, because the depth and accuracy of writing at this level is in a different league from what most people experience with low-cost AI.
While AI models arrive with extensive training across these topics, we never rely on that alone. Before drafting a single lesson, the AI performs in-depth research on that specific topic, pulling from resources written by qualified experts in the field: published books, professional essays, clinical resources, and articles from practitioners and specialists with relevant credentials. Every draft is grounded in that expert-created material, not generated from thin air.
With that said, whether something is written entirely by humans, entirely by AI, or by the two working together, errors can occur. We encourage readers to verify important information and consult a qualified professional in the relevant area wherever appropriate.
For those who would like more specifics, here is the six-step process behind every course:
1. Humans design the courses and set the teaching standards and outlines
2. Humans shape the arc of each lesson
3. AI conducts deep, highly specific research on each individual lesson topic before drafting the lesson
4. Humans review, direct, and run multiple edits alongside AI
5. Humans approves every lesson before it's published
6. Each finished course then goes to Eleven Labs, where it's recorded by one of their AI voices
We have poured a tremendous amount of time, care, and love into these free courses, in the hope that they help you become your best Self.
