Learning AI shouldn't feel like a second job.

Peter Yang

I know what it feels like to come home after a busy day at work and try to learn AI at night. Every week there's a new model, tool, and workflow you're supposedly behind on.

The truth is I've built a personal AI system to take back my time and automate the manual work.

This membership is for busy people who want to copy my AI system fast.

You don't need to pay for a $3,000 course to become an AI builder

I'll teach you how to build with AI much faster without the endless Zoom sessions.

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

I've led product teams at Roblox, Reddit, Twitch, and Meta for 10+ years and have interviewed 100+ AI leaders and builders via my YouTube. People tell me that my content is practical, authentic, and to the point. This membership is what I wish I had when I got started.

"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."

Frank — PM on Gemini, Google DeepMind

"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."

Ro — Senior PM, Google

"The community alone is worth the membership. I've gotten more useful AI advice in one month than from all other sources combined."

Haylee

"Peter has a gift for making complex AI concepts feel approachable. Every issue teaches me something I can use that same day."

Mohammad

"I went from 'AI-curious' to shipping AI features in production within two months of joining. The tutorials are that good."

Anna

"The prompt library alone paid for my membership ten times over. Real workflows from someone who actually uses AI daily."

Chris

"Finally a newsletter that treats AI seriously without being inaccessible. Peter bridges the gap between technical depth and practical application."

Is this membership for you?

This is for you if:

You're a PM, founder, or busy professional who wants to become an AI builder 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 coding agents

You want a 4-week cohort with deadlines and homework – everything here is self paced, with live monthly workshops when you want them

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

Become an AI builder this week.

A typical AI course costs $3,000

FAQ

What do I get for $150/year?

Full access to the portal: my AI skills and prompts, the Hermes and Codex courses, free AI tool codes ($270 value), live monthly workshops, the 400+ member Slack community, and 100+ paid posts.

Do I need to be a developer?

No. Everything is written in a straightforward way that any AI curious beginner can understand.

How is this different from a $3,000 AI course?

I've taught AI courses and as great as they are, AI changes quickly and the content gets stale fast. This is my working AI system with a year of updates, live monthly workshops, and direct replies from me in the community, at a significantly lower price than a live course. It's a no brainer in my humble opinion.

How is this different from your newsletter and YouTube?

This is the fast track: the system itself, organized so you can install it in an afternoon instead of watching hundreds of videos.

Will the price go up?

Yes. $150 is early access pricing, and it ends when the Codex course ships.
