You've heard about AI for two years.
You've never built anything with it.
Today changes that.
Free Intro to AI to start. Six courses and a workshop library when you're ready for more. The first lesson takes 15 minutes. The founders who finish get backed by Braintied.
Free intro course included. No coding required for 4 of the 6 courses. No subscription trap. Buy a course, own it forever.
What you walk away with
How it works
It's not a video pile. It's a coach, a checklist, and a finish line.
A coach that actually helps
Stuck on step 3? Ask. The Coach knows the lesson, your progress, and your prior attempts. It nudges. It does not give you the answer.
Lessons broken into 4-7 atomic steps
Check them off. Watch the progress bar fill. No more 'I don't know where to start.' Every lesson ships an artifact at the end. Text, image, or a deploy URL.
Show up. Get rewarded.
Five-day streak unlocks the Flame. First deploy unlocks the Rocket. Most learners drop off because nobody is watching. Here, somebody is.
What a lesson looks like
A checklist on the left. A coach on the right. Done in 15 minutes.
Every course. Every future course. Plus the tools.
One purchase. Lifetime access to all 6 courses, every future course we ship (one a month), and full lifetime accounts on Swishh and Parlor. The AI brand and website builders that go for $300+/year on their own.
- All 6 current courses, beginner and builder voice
- Every future course we ship, free
- Lifetime Swishh account (AI brand-builder, normally $19/mo)
- Lifetime Parlor account (AI website-builder, normally $29/mo)
- 7-day refund, no questions
This week's drawing
One paid student wins a 1/1 workshop with Galen.
Every lesson done is an entry. Every five-day streak is more entries. Drawn live every Sunday, 6pm Pacific. The more you build, the more you're in.

Who teaches this
Creative director turned AI-native builder.
Twenty years behind a camera. Building Braintied full-time since late 2024. AI gave him a way to describe what he wanted to build and watch it come to life. He now runs a portfolio on one shared stack, ships client ventures in days, and teaches the way he actually builds: Claude Code as the engineering partner, Next.js + Supabase + Vercel, the same patterns behind braintied.com, kulti.live, swishh.ai, parlor.website, and sentigen.app.
“If you can describe what you want, you can build it. The hard part is learning to describe it well. That's what these courses teach.”
How far this can go
You can stop at any rung. Most do. The ones who keep climbing get something most courses can't offer.
Each step is its own win. Rung 1 is free. Rung 4 is one or two founders a quarter. There is no in-between paywall, no “mastermind tier,” no upsell trap. The path is honest.

Step 1, free, no signup
Try the first workshop.
Pick something small. See if the way Galen teaches lands for you. If it doesn't, no harm done.

Step 2, free with email
Take the Intro to AI course.
Eight lessons. No coding. Galen builds the mental model from zero. By the end, you know the language, you have used Wispr Flow to voice-dump a real idea, and you have AI organizing your brain.

Step 3, the bundle
Earn points, hit streaks, win a 1/1 with Galen.
Every lesson done is points. Every five-day streak is more points. Each week we draw one student for a free 1/1 workshop with Galen. The more you build, the more entries you get.

Step 4, the long game
Star Students get backed by Braintied.
Finish all six courses. Ship the artifacts. Build something real. Each quarter we pick one or two founders. Braintied joins as advisor, helps you build, helps you raise. The course is the filter.
Earned, not bought. No application form. We watch.

Why most AI courses fail you
They teach the demo. We teach the workflow.
Most courses show you a 30-second demo and leave you alone with ChatGPT. You watch, nod, close the tab, forget within a week.
These courses give you a coach in every lesson, atomic checklists, and a real artifact at the end. You can't fake-finish it. The artifact either exists or it doesn't.
If you ship something at the end of every course, you don't “learn AI.” You become the kind of person who builds with AI. That's the actual goal.
No AI prerequisite. No time pressure. Show up when you can.
