Do you have to pay for Simplifying AI?
No.
Let me repeat that, because it's the most important sentence on this page: every guide I write is free. It always has been. It always will be.
You can read the newsletter, follow every tutorial, and download the assets from the free guides forever, without paying me anything. If that's you, close this page with my blessing. Seriously.
So why does the Paid Lab exist?
Because some of you keep asking for three things I can't put in a free newsletter:
1 - The Archive. Everything I've ever made, in one place.
I've published hundreds of guides, prompts, templates, and automations over the last year. They're scattered. The Lab Vault is all of it: every prompt I've ever shared, every template, every automation config, every Claude skill, organized by task and searchable. You stop scrolling my archive and start shipping.
2 - Every upcoming premium guide and course.
This is where the Lab goes beyond the free newsletter. My free guides follow one rule: you can use them in the next 10 minutes. But the most valuable things I know take a weekend, not 10 minutes. Self-running AI loops. Agent systems that work while you sleep. Routing between models to cut your AI bill by 60%.That's what the premium guides and courses are for, and Lab members get all of them:
Every premium deep-dive, attached to the newsletter as it ships. You don't buy them one by one. You don't hunt for them. They arrive in the same inbox as everything else, and they're all yours from day one, including everything already published.
Every course I release. Full courses, included in your membership at no extra cost, the day they launch.
3 - $500+ worth of AI tools to work with.
Join, and you also get the member perk stack, deals I've collected from the AI tools I actually use every day:
Wispr Flow: 1 month free of the dictation tool I use to write half my guides by just talking
Granola: 1 month free of the AI tool that turns my meetings into clean notes automatically
Notion Business + AI: 3 months free (Application, most small teams and solo founders qualify)
Manus: 500 free credits for the AI agent I hand my multi-step research and busywork to
Google Cloud: $300 in credits across eligible Google Cloud products like Gemini, Imagen & Veo
Mindra: $200 in credits for the platform that automates your workflows with AI agents
Zapier: A 14-day free Pro trial to connect your apps and build your first automations
Superhuman: $35 off, which means your first month of the fastest AI email client is free
That's roughly $500 in tools, against a $197 membership. I'll keep adding deals, and every one goes to existing members too.
By the way, many members are able to expense this through work. To make it easy, I put together a draft email you can send to your manager here: [link]. It's worked well for a lot of people.
