Community Picks

AI communities for builders with real work to protect.

I spent a year inside the AI community space sorting for signal, not hype. These are the picks that hold up for founders, coaches, and creators building around real businesses.

The hard part is not finding AI information. The hard part is finding rooms that respect the complexity of an actual business.

Agents give founders, coaches, and creators the ability to build capacity without flattening the work into generic output.

Over the last year I've spent a ton of time and resources exploring AI communities, joining and leaving groups in pursuit of useful information from people who are actually building.

These are the ones I would point people to.

My top picks — depending on what you need.

Each one serves a different kind of builder. Pick the one that matches what you are trying to build.

For Non-Technical Business Owners

AI for Business

Led by Brian Hanson — humble and constantly shipping new programming built specifically for non-technical business owners.

  • Best for founders, coaches, and creators who want to learn agents without picking up technical skills
  • Includes an AI aggregator with Claude, Flux (images + cloning), and GoHighLevel — the only one I found genuinely useful without constantly hitting limits
  • The best base layer if you're early in your agent build

For Low-Cost Builders

AI Profit Boardroom

Led by Julian Goldie — humble, prolific creator who often posts multiple YouTube videos per day and never stops delivering.

  • Best for builders willing to pick up mild technical skills so they can do almost everything for free
  • Heavy focus on running powerful agents at minimal cost
  • Ideal if budget is a real constraint but you're still serious about building

For Future AI Resellers

AI Early Adopters

Led by Mark Kashef — anti-hype, straight-talking, and a big proponent of Claude even though it costs more.

  • Best for builders who want to eventually resell AI products to other businesses
  • You don't mind investing in more capable (and more expensive) providers to get better results
  • A goldmine if you're comfortable learning the technical pieces and building real infrastructure
