The Big Shift: AI Becomes Invisible
Here’s what most course creators are missing: AI isn’t becoming another tool you have to learn. It’s becoming invisible infrastructureโweaving itself into the software you already use. Your browser. Your community platform. Your phone.
The educators who figure this out won’t work harder. They’ll have a team working alongside them around the clock. And the ones who don’t? They’ll be competing against course creators who basically cloned themselves.
๐ ๏ธ Key Takeaways
- Agents vs. Apps vs. Avatars: The three pillars of the 2026 AI business model. Agents work while you sleep, Apps are custom tools built for your teaching, and Avatars are versions of you that can be in multiple places at once.
- Invisible Infrastructure: Stop treating AI as a separate tab and start integrating it into your browser, community, and phone.
- Claude Code & Agentic Mode: We are moving from “Chatting with AI” to “Deploying AI” into task environments where they can perform research and analysis autonomously.
โ Action Steps
- Audit Your “Mechanical” Tasks: Identify tasks that require logic but no creativity (e.g., support sorting). These are for your first AI Agent.
- Focus on the Moat: Double down on your human stories and pedagogical depth. These cannot be replicated by current AI infrastructure.
- Join the Training Community: Connect with James and other educators to share strategic prompts and frameworks.
