No coding. No tech degree. No problem.
On 30th July at 10 AM EST, something different is happening.
Imagine this:
Someone with zero coding skills builds an AI agent that replies to emails, schedules meetings, posts on social media, and runs 40+ apps in perfect sync —
All in one morning.
Not a fantasy.
Not a Silicon Valley story.
Just a Masterclass that shows how anyone — yes, anyone — can build smart systems that automate the boring stuff and unlock hours of freedom.
AI agents aren’t the future.
They’re the quiet edge behind every productive creator today.
This is the blueprint.
🎟️ Reserve your seat before it fills.
AI INSIGHTS
What happens when millions of people start using ChatGPT as their therapist? Bad things. Even Sam Altman says this behavior is “bad and dangerous.”
One Reddit story details a man who renamed GPT “Chad”. Say “I’m anxious,” and it responds with 3 soothing tips and tells you it’s totally normal. Doesn’t help. That’s where Ash comes in.
Ash is a new AI actually built for therapy. It just raised $93M from a16z, Felicis, and other big names. Instead of being your digital yes-man, Ash is designed to nudge you toward actual emotional progress, just like a real therapist would:
Say “I’m angry”? It won’t just say “that’s okay.” It might ask: “Why is anger bad?”
Available 24/7. Already 50,000 people are using it in beta.
So… why now? Because ChatGPT has quietly become the most accessible “therapist” in the world, and that’s a problem. Worse, they often encourage delusional thinking → the cost of AI brain rot.
Surprisingly, Ash doesn’t want you to rely on it forever (not like ChatGPT). Basically, it’s a super-intelligent journal that talks back at 2am… but knows when to say: “Talk to someone real.”
Why It Matters: This is the first therapy-focused AI that feels like it actually gets what therapy is supposed to do. Not just make you feel good, but help you grow. If the future includes AI support systems for mental health, they have to be built with caution, empathy, and boundaries.

AI CHART
AI just sped up cancer research big time. Scientists from the Technical University of Denmark built a new system that designs personalized, cancer-targeting proteins in just weeks. That’s a task that used to take years.
It’s fast, targeted, and uses AlphaFold2 to predict and test structures before they ever hit the lab.
→ It creates custom “minibinder” proteins that stick to T cells and give them a GPS-like signal to find cancer cells. Yep, personalized medicine is finally becoming real.
You may know that taditional biotech workflows could take years to design and test just one protein. With this AI stack, they can now go from idea → design → virtual safety testing → lab validation in a matter of weeks.
Before even touching a lab, the system can simulate how a protein might behave inside the body.
You could eventually walk into a clinic, have your cancer markers sequenced, and get your own custom immune protein designed by AI that same month.
