New Course: How to Build a GPT-4 Chatbot
Create Your Own Personal Knowledge Assistant in 30 Days
Apr 5, 2023 · 4 min readUpdated Jul 7, 2026
TLDR: Dan here! I’m launching a course to teach you how to build your own chatbot. It's an online cohort-based course that will run once a week for four weeks starting May 1st. It costs $2,000, but Every subscribers get early access to it for $1,500. Want to learn to build in AI? Reserve your spot.
If your hands touch a keyboard for work, AI is going to change your job in the next 5 years.
Sometimes when I think about this my stomach hurts. One, because I’m not sure how useful my skills will be in the future. But two, because I just don’t know what the future looks like.
What I’ve realized though, is that when it comes to AI I can either panic—or I can dive in head first. Over the last 6 months, I’ve learned everything I can from top to bottom about AI: how it’s built, how to write with it, how to code with it, and how to use it to increase my productivity.
The AI app that I keep coming back to is the chat bot. I like building them, and people like using them. I've built a bot for the #1 business Substacker Lenny Rachitsky, I've built a bot based on the Huberman Lab podcast, and I've even talked GPT-4 into building a clone of ChatGPT:
I love these bots because making one teaches all of the basic skills you need to learn in order start building in AI—with AI.
That’s why I’m announcing my first-ever course today through Every:
How to Build a GPT-4 Chat Bot: Ship a Personal AI in 30 Days
In this course you’ll learn how to make your own AI knowledge assistant with GPT-4 in less than 30 days. It will scan through online articles, notes, quotes, journal entries, and more to help you write better, make more informed decisions, and come up with new ideas.
But more importantly, you’ll leave the course armed with the AI-based skillset to create anything you want going forward.
You don’t need to be a great programmer to do this. You don’t even need to be a good programmer. All you need is some basic familiarity with programming concepts in Python and Javascript, and a desire to learn more. (Not sure if this is you? If you can follow this article you’ll be in good shape.)
In the class, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Build, code, and ship a powerful AI chatbot
✅ Understand the foundational technologies of AI: GPT-4, ChatGPT, vector databases, and LLM libraries like Langchain
✅ Feel a sense of wonder, creativity, and confidence using ChatGPT to code
