Learning AI shouldn't feel like a second job.

I know what it feels like to come home after a busy day of work and try to learn AI at night. Every week there's a new model, tool, and workflow that everyone says you should be using.

People always ask me how I balance a full-time job with growing a creator business and two kids. The truth is that I rely on just a handful of AI tools, Hermes, Codex, and skills to automate the manual work.

I've shared parts of my personal AI operating system with 100,000+ people on YouTube and my newsletter.

This membership is for busy people who just want to copy my setup as quickly as possible. Every skill and guide in this portal is hand-crafted and AI slop free.

About me

I've led products and teams at Roblox, Reddit, Amazon (Twitch), and Meta for 10+ years. My newsletter and YouTube reach hundreds of thousands of people and feature deep conversations with AI leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more.

I keep everything here short and practical because I know you're busy. This portal has my best and most up to date content.

100,000+ tech professionals love my AI tutorials and interviews

"Peter's newsletter is one of the few I actually read every single time it hits my inbox. Practical, no fluff, and always ahead of the curve."

Ryan — CEO at LinkedIn

“

"The AI tutorials are incredibly actionable. I've implemented at least 5 workflows directly from Behind the Craft that saved my team hours every week."

Amrita — VP Marketing at Zapier

“

"As a PM on Gemini, I need to stay sharp on what's happening in AI. Peter distills the signal from the noise better than anyone."

“

"I recommend Behind the Craft to every PM I mentor. It's the fastest way to build AI intuition without getting lost in the hype."

Is this membership for you?

This is for you if:

✓

You're a PM, founder, or busy professional who wants to become AI native fast

✓

You want opinionated "just do this" defaults, not a tour of every option

✓

You value concise, no-BS content (with some memes baked in) over AI slop

This is NOT for you if:

✗

You're already an advanced user of AI skills, prompts, and Hermes

✗

You want a live course – I may host live sessions in the community but this material isn't cohort-based

✗

You want a laundry list of 100+ AI skills instead of those I've hand-curated for quality

One subscription for all the benefits and the paid newsletter.

$150/year

Skills, prompts, AI tool free codes, my personal OS setup, and access to a growing AI builder community. Cancel anytime.

FAQ

What do I get for $150/year?

Full access to the membership portal, including prompts, AI tool perks, skills, the Hermes setup guide, the 700+ member AI Slack community, and 100+ paid posts via my newsletter.

Do I need to be a developer?

No. Everything is written for PMs, marketers, and founders who want to use AI without writing code.

How is this different from your newsletter and YouTube?

I've created 100s of articles and YouTube videos by now. I know most people don't have time to watch them all. This is the fast track option to become AI native quickly.

How is this different from AI courses?

Most courses require you to watch 10+ hours of video or attend live cohorts that cost thousands of dollars. I've designed each section of my operating system to be self-contained, opinionated, and built to get you results in an afternoon. At $150/year during early access, it's also a fraction of the cost.

Will the price go up?

It's possible. The current price is early access. I hand-craft each section so once all are complete, I might raise the price.

Can I cancel?

Anytime through Substack.
