Stop following AI.
Start leading with it.

We follow every model, test every tool, and throw out everything that doesn't matter. Then we hand you what's actually worth your time.

Weekly live courses, daily tutorials, certification, and an open forum consulting call every week.

Trusted by professionals and partners from top AI companies:

The challenge every professional faces right now.

AI isn't slowing down, and neither is the pressure to figure it out.

Most professionals are stuck in the same loop: watching launches, skimming newsletters, bookmarking tutorials they never open. Lots of motion but not much progress. You know AI matters, but you don't know what to do about it tomorrow morning.

The Rundown University is built for the professional who's done with that loop and ready to become the person on their team who actually has it figured out.

  • Build your own path

    Tell us about your role and what you're trying to do, and we'll map out exactly what AI tools to learn, in what order. No wading through content built for someone else.

  • Learn from practitioners

    We don't hire whoever's available. Every instructor gets vetted before they teach a single session. We check their track record, review their material, and only bring them on when we'd put our name behind them.

  • Stay current w/o the noise

    New tools drop every day. We track all of it and distill it into a new 10-minute daily guide, so you're spending time on what actually matters instead of chasing announcements.

Who The Rundown University is built for

  • This is for you if...

    • You're a professional who wants to implement AI in your actual day-to-day work

    • You feel overwhelmed by the pace of AI and want a clear, curated signal

    • You want to be the person on your team who has AI figured out

    • You're willing to invest 30 minutes a week to build a real skill set

    • You want credentials that demonstrate practical AI ability to employers

  • This isn't for you if…

    • You're looking for deep technical or engineering-level AI content

    • You want theory and academic frameworks over practical implementation

    • You're not ready to actually put new tools into your workflow

    • You're expecting results without putting in the time

courses

Expert-led courses,
live and on-demand

Book a studio, write a script, add animations. By the time we publish that course, it’s already out of date.

Every course is run live so you’re getting the latest information, you can ask questions, and work alongside other members. After the session, we edit and package it into the on-demand library, available exclusively to Rundown Pro members. We audit our courses monthly and remove anything that’s significantly out of date.

View all courses
  • Live

    Join while it's happening.

    Every course is published live first. Show up, ask questions, and work through the material with the instructor in real time. No replays needed if you're there for it.

  • On-demand

    Work through it on your own time.

    After every live session, we edit the recording into a structured on-demand course, exclusively for Rundown Pro members. Work at your own pace, revisit anything as reference material, and access all attached resources whenever you need them.

The Rundown opened up my eyes to what's possible with AI. After only a couple days of learning, I created an AI agent that responds to my emails on my behalf. Game changer for my business.
