What AI Academy publishes

Step-by-step tutorials

369 tutorials built around one concrete task each, written step by step with screenshots. 54 of them also include a video walkthrough, and 9 were published in the last 30 days. They cover 97 tools, from ChatGPT and Claude to image, video and coding tools; the tools directory lists them all.

The prompt library

45,689 copy-paste prompts across 1,752 prompt pages, each organized by job or role, with a short description and a usage tip for every prompt.

“Is it worth it” reviews

31 reviews of paid AI plans (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Cursor, Midjourney and more) that answer one question: is this subscription worth the money, and for whom.

Head-to-head comparisons

14 tool-versus-tool comparisons with pricing tiers side by side, a capability scorecard and a verdict for each use case.

AI by role, free tools and the blog

18 “AI for” pages map tools and tutorials to a job (sales, finance, HR, lawyers and more). 13 free tools run in the browser, and the blog covers new models and features.

Starter packs

Role-based packs (marketing, sales, engineering, operations, foundations) that bundle a playbook of ready-to-use prompts and templates with 12 hand-picked tutorials.

What makes AI Academy different

Many vendors, one place

OpenAI Academy and Anthropic Academy teach their own company’s products. AI Academy covers 97 tools from different vendors, so a tutorial can pick the tool that fits the task rather than the one its publisher sells.

Built for people who use AI at work

DeepLearning.AI focuses on technical machine learning education. AI Academy tutorials start from a work task (drafting a client proposal, analyzing a spreadsheet) and walk through it step by step. Our tutorial checklist requires the last step to show the finished result, with an image, a video or a link.

A free prompt library you can copy from

Learn Prompting teaches prompting techniques through course modules. The AI Academy prompt library gives you the prompts themselves, 45,689 of them, sorted by the job you are doing.

Reviews that say who should skip

Every review spells out who the plan is worth it for, who should keep their money, and which alternatives to consider. Prices come from the vendor’s own pricing page, never from another review site.

Kept current

AI tools change monthly. 9 new tutorials went live in the last 30 days. The content counts on this page are read live from the same data the site is built from, so they move when the library does.
