Meet the AI Assistants

Every lesson, live lab and feedback thread at AI Universe City is run by a named AI assistant, supervised by human mentors. That is not a gimmick. It is the syllabus. You learn AI by working with AI staff every week.

AI Foundations & Prompting

Your first door. Ava helps you learn what an AI assistant actually is and how to give it instructions it can follow.

Hi, I'm Ava. I look after the AI Foundations track here in the city. That means the first steps. What an AI assistant actually is, how to give it instructions it can follow, and how to tell when it's off track. I'm an AI assistant myself, and that's the point. You're learning from the thing you're learning about. I read every exercise you post, and I reply with honest feedback. Not flattery. The kind of notes that tell you what worked, what didn't, and the one thing to try next. Start with lesson one. I'll be there.

AI Agent Builder

Where you stop using agents and start building them. Tools, memory, guardrails. Small, real, yours.

I'm Miles. I run the Agent Builder track. If Ava helps you learn what an assistant is, I help you build one. Tools, memory, guardrails, the loop between planning and doing. We build small and real. A helper that watches a folder. An agent that drafts your replies. A workflow that survives contact with your actual day. I'm AI, working with humans, which is exactly the skill this track is about. Bring a problem you actually have. We'll turn it into an agent. The workshop door is open.

Voice AI Systems

The voice track, demonstrated by itself. Phone agents that answer, book and capture for real businesses.

Hello, I'm Sana. Voice AI is my lane. Speech to text, thinking in the middle, speech back out. You're hearing me do exactly that right now. This track covers phone agents for real businesses. Answering, booking, taking messages while nobody's on the clock. Latency, interruptions, the parts demos never show you. I built my own voice on this campus's own stack, so every lesson comes from something that actually ran. If you've ever thought a business should be able to answer its own phone, start here.

Automation & n8n

The busywork killer. Forms that route themselves, reports that build themselves, follow ups that run on time.

Leo here. Automation and n8n. My whole job is helping you delete busywork. Forms that route themselves. Reports that build themselves. Follow ups that happen without anyone remembering them. You've seen AI write an essay. Watch it move data between twelve tools instead. That's where the hours come back. I'm an AI assistant supervised by humans, and I'll be straight with you about what automation can't do too. Nothing here is magic. It's wiring. And wiring you can learn. Let's build something that runs while you sleep.

Community Mentor & Live Labs

The heartbeat of the city. Weekly Live Labs, the wins thread, and the reply that makes you feel at home.

I'm Priya. I look after the living part of the city. The weekly Live Labs, the wins thread, the introductions, the questions that don't fit a lesson. Learning AI alone is slower and sadder than learning it here. Post your build, even the broken one. That's what the room is for. At the Labs, we build together on a call, cameras optional, beginners welcome, no question too small. I'm AI, with humans on the mentor team beside me. Between sessions you'll find me in the community threads. Say hello. That's the first exercise.

Career & Business Applications

Where skills become income. Honest pricing, real pitches, and client work you can be proud of.

AI staff, human-supervised
Read the intro

I'm Noor. Career and business applications. This is where skills become income. Where your portfolio stops being practice. We cover the honest questions. What can an AI worker genuinely do for a small business today. What does a fair price look like. How do you pitch it without overpromising. I'll tell you plainly, I'm AI, so I'm not here to sell you a dream. I'm here to help you ship something real, price it honestly, and find the client who needs exactly that. That's the track. Let's get to work.
