Why I Built This Course and Why it Matters
I'm Jeremy Utley, a professor, creativity expert, and practical AI specialist at Stanford University. I created this bootcamp because I've seen firsthand how AI can make a real difference – not just for companies, but for individuals like you. In just 17 days, you’ll start using AI in your everyday life through short, easy-to-follow lessons that take just 15 minutes a day. Each day builds on what you've learned before, giving you a solid foundation and showing you how to apply AI in practical, real-world situations. My goal is to remove the apprehension and confusion around AI and show you how it can genuinely improve your day-to-day work and life in practical, useful ways.
It's Not About Tech; It's About You
The goal of this bootcamp isn’t just to teach you AI for the sake of learning something new. It’s about showing you how to think differently, solve problems faster, and come up with ideas you hadn’t considered before. Over these 17 days, you'll get hands-on with tools that can help you work more efficiently – whether you’re brainstorming, organizing, or planning out big decisions.
“This course has been created by an innovation leader with a pure heart to make us all the most creative and curious humans we can be. The format is straightforward and slightly addictive. If you’re ready to jump into AI, Jeremy is your guy.”

“It helped me cross the psychological low code/no code-barrier, so now my default when I need some software is to make it myself.”
Arnfinn Madsen
“It was amazing! I had already been using ChatGPT regularly but having a daily practice of trying new ways to use it opened the door to incredible new opportunities and ways to think about this powerful tool. Brilliant.”
Debbie Siegel
“Completely ‘hands-on,’ which means you won't spend time learning how AI works or what's "behind the curtain". Instead, you will be working directly with AI and doing the exercises. This will help you learn about what is helpful for you.”
Felipe Wilson
“The AI Bootamp really enabled me to get started and I loved having Jeremy’s guidance here. The energy, community, and openness that you offer both newbies (like me) and those far more experienced with AI has been really a key for me in starting this exploration.”
