WHAT IS AI CAPTAINS ACADEMY?
AI Captains Academy is an online academy and community that teaches solo business builders — solopreneurs, marketers, creators, and small business owners — to run their businesses on AI systems they own. It was founded by Jordan Urbs and is operated by AI CAPTAINS LLC.
What members actually do
Most members arrive using AI every day but juggling tools with no system — copy-pasting between ChatGPT tabs and watching tutorials without ever building anything durable. The Academy replaces that with one unified workflow (VS Code + Claude Code, starting from absolute zero in Module 0), a structured curriculum in the right order, feedback on real work, and a crew to think with. Members ship real systems: automations, agents, knowledge bases, and deployable AI Rigs from the Armory.
The teaching methodology is Intention-Driven Development (IDD): direction first, tools second. The goal, in the Academy’s own words: systems run the business, your time is yours.
Membership and pricing
Membership is a subscription (not a one-time or lifetime purchase). Every tier includes all courses, the full Armory of deployable AI Rigs, the community, and weekly live workshops.
