Straight answers
Including the awkward ones about money, promises, and what this can't do for you.
The three lessons and the Starter Asset Kit are free, forever, no account needed. The $0 stack guarantee means this: the AI agent (OpenCode) is free and MIT-licensed, we use free or local model tiers, and the total software cost of the whole system is $0. Some people later pay for stronger AI models — optional, and we show the free path first. The only costs outside the program: a domain name (~$10/yr, if you want your own URL — a free subdomain works fine at first) and payment-processing fees on sales. Both are disclosed here so the "$0" claim stays honest.
No — but you need to be willing to open code and read it. That's the actual skill: steering an agent through real files, checking its work, and keeping control of the outcome. Lesson 1 is built for someone who has never opened an index.html file.
Yes. OpenCode is free and open source (MIT licensed, 200K+ GitHub stars), and its maker also sells optional paid tiers and model usage. This training uses the free agent with free or local models. The paid options are upgrades for people who want them — not requirements for anything we teach.
A build system — and in the cohort, feedback on your work. The deliverables are assets and skills: a live funnel, a started traffic channel, an email capture, and a payments page. We make no income claims. No earnings numbers, no promises about your job, no revenue screenshots. What you build and what happens after it ships are two different things — and only the first is in our control together.
14 days. Join the cohort, and if it isn't for you, email mikee@mikee.ai within 14 days of the start — you get the full amount back. No forms, no proof-of-work, no hoops. Refunds go back to your original payment method in full.
You might not need to. The free training is complete — plenty of people will build their funnel with just that. The cohort sells the parts you can't download: feedback on your actual pages, deadlines, a small room of peers, and judgment about what to fix and what to ignore. If you don't need those, don't buy it.
Tutorials teach the tool; this teaches the business the tool is for. Distribution and offer come first, the funnel is the deliverable, and the end state is something live that collects emails and takes payments — not a demo app.
The form posts to a small self-hosted service on our own server. It stores your email and sends you to the training. There is no third-party form widget and no tracking script on the pages. Your email is used to send you the lessons and cohort updates, nothing else — unsubscribe any time by emailing mikee@mikee.ai.
They will — OpenCode ships updates constantly. That's why the curriculum's spine is a method (describe the outcome, read the diff, steer, verify, ship) that transfers to any agent, and every lab is version-pinned. When the tool updates, the method doesn't.
