Official training for educators building on Teachable

Open any feed right now and you'll find a thousand people explaining AI. Most of them are explaining the same five tips. Very few are showing you what it looks like to actually use these tools to run a business.

That's the gap we built Teachable AI Academy to close.

It's a live workshop series. We bring in creators and experts who use AI every day, and we put them in front of you to teach the exact systems and workflows behind their work. The first sessions kicks off on June 15, 2026, and the full lineup carries into August 2026.

Every session is free to attend. Each one is hosted live, and we record all of them, so the replay is waiting on Teachable whenever you want it.

What is the Teachable AI Academy?

AI Academy is a run of live, online workshops. More than 20 AI creators and experts are on the schedule, and each one picks a topic straight from their own work.

They teach it live, in real time, and they leave room for your questions at the end.

The people teaching have built audiences in the millions and run real businesses with these tools. So the advice you get is grounded in what they actually do day to day.

We host every session, and we keep the replay up afterward. That means the library grows every week as new workshops go live.

Why did we build the Teachable AI Academy?

Here's how we see this moment. AI made information instant, and that made the hunger for real skill sharper than it has ever been.

People want to build things. They want to change careers and pick up abilities that have nothing to do with what they trained in. We call this the Learning Renaissance, and we think it's the most exciting thing happening in education right now.

The hard part is knowing where to start. When everyone is posting at once, it's tough to know whose advice you can trust.

AI Academy is our answer. We put practitioners you can trust on a set schedule, each teaching one concrete thing you can use.

This is showing up in the data, too. In its 2025 Workplace Learning Report, LinkedIn found that 71% of learning and development professionals are already exploring, experimenting with, or integrating AI into their work.

That number is worth sitting with for a second. The people whose entire job is teaching skills are moving on AI right now, and AI Academy is built for everyone trying to keep pace with them.

Once you learn something in a session, you can put it to work inside Teachable. Our own AI features sit right in the platform, so the courses and content you build benefit from the same tools.

The June 2026 Teachable AI Academy lineup

The first wave of workshops runs through June, and each session below is open for registration now.

Charlie Hills, June 15 at 1:00pm EST. The AI-powered content system for personal branding. Charlie Hills grew from zero to more than 200,000 LinkedIn followers using a repeatable, AI-assisted content system. He breaks down the tools and workflows he uses to generate ideas, speed up production, and turn attention into business, all while keeping his own voice in the output. If you want background reading first, Teachable has a guide on how to build a personal brand.

Katia Smith, June 17 at 1:00pm EST. Filling the AI gaps: from prototype to product launch. Katia Smith is a former Microsoft engineer and the founder of Second Life Software, where she turns rough, AI-built prototypes into products ready for real users. She walks through the five gaps AI coding tools tend to leave open, including security, error handling, and what a user sees when something fails, using real before-and-after examples from her agency work.

Sandra, June 22 at 1:00pm EST. Ship AI-built apps without shipping risk. Sandra is a cybersecurity educator with a following of more than 550,000 security and IT professionals. She shares the flaws that ride along with fast, AI-built apps, from exposed API keys to weak authentication, and gives you a seven-point checklist you can run on anything you build before it goes live.

Anna York, June 24 at 1:00pm EST. How to become the source AI recommends. Anna York is an AI Visibility Architect and the founder of Citation School, recognized as a LinkedIn Top 12 AI Voice in Europe. She studies how tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity decide what to recommend, and she walks through her keyword research process for AI search, showing how to turn one question into a full content plan.

Mariana Antaya, June 29, 2026 at 1:00pm EST. Your first machine learning model. In 40 minutes.. Mariana is a former AI Product Manager at Microsoft who now ships her own machine learning models and teaches a community of more than 700,000 people. In 40 minutes she takes raw, messy e-commerce data and builds a model that answers a real business question: will this customer buy again in the next 90 days. You'll walk away with the working model, the code behind it, and a process you can reuse on any dataset.

More sessions coming through the summer

June 2026 is only the opening stretch. New workshops drop every week through August 2026.

Names already on the schedule include Mariana Antaya, Sai Kumar, Sundas Khalid, Sadie St. Lawrence, Anjali Viramgama, Ale Thomas, Tina Huang, and Matt Wolfe.

The topics run wide: building your first machine learning model, learning data analytics with AI, building AI agents for everyday work, and using AI with more intention. We add new dates to the AI Academy page as each session locks, so it pays to check back.

One more thing worth knowing. A lot of the people teaching also sell what they know on Teachable, and any creator can do the same. Courses, coaching, memberships, and digital downloads all run on one platform, with payments handled through teachable:pay.

How to join

Registration is open for every session on the AI Academy page.

Pick the workshops that fit what you're building, save your seat, and add them to your calendar. If a date passes before you get to it, the replay will be waiting for you on Teachable.

At Teachable, we’re committed to helping you do just that: teach. You can already count on us to provide you with creator and entrepreneurial content weekly on the blog and through our newsletter, In the Know. But we understand that sometimes you just need to go a bit deeper and dig in a little further. That’s exactly what we wanted to do when we set out to relaunch teachable:u.

A partner in learning

We’re pleased to announce the relaunch of teachable:u, our educational resource library exclusively available to Teachable creators on a paid plan. Designed to take you from learning to doing, our mini-course library contains the best actionable strategies, tips, and insider advice from real creators and industry experts. Courses in t:u cover everything from social media to video production, to copywriting to selling, so you can take action and grow your business—now.

We understand that there’s more to being a creator than meets the eye. You’re a marketer, a financial planner, a copywriter, a social media expert, and a designer—among the many other hats you wear. We designed teachable:u to be the resource you need to help you sharpen your skills, acquire new ones, and build the business you want, your way.

The mini courses in t:u are short, sweet, and to the point. We won’t waste anytime giving you the best of what we know. We’ve tapped industry experts and real Teachable creators who have seen success, and paired them together in mini courses that can be taken in under an hour. We also provide templates, guides, workbooks, and bonus videos so you can have all the resources you need in one spot. And you can revisit them at anytime.

What’s more, we’ll be continually adding to teachable:u so you can always be learning and growing.

Building upon success

Teachable:u has been a resource for Teachable creators for years now. Some of you may even have taken a course or two when getting started. But we realized, we could do better.

Originally, the educational program was designed to be a four-part series introducing creators to the world of online courses. It walked Teachable creators through the ins and outs of coming up with a course topic idea to building an audience. Flash forward seven years to a creator economy that’s changed. And so must teachable:u.

We’ve spoken to dozens of creators through the years and learned that those who use t:u don’t just learn, they do. They build stronger businesses, maximize their experiences on Teachable, and ultimately set out on paths to success.

So, with that in mind, we’re updating and modernizing t:u to be the business partner you need to scale and grow at your own speed. While we’ll still offer those getting started level courses, we’ve updated them to reflect the current creator economy and the best ways we see creators growing on Teachable.

Sustainability and scale

It’s one thing to learn how to build a course, but it’s another to build a business. Many creators are coming to Teachable with a following, an idea, and a good starting point. Some are even coming with a knowledge business under their belts. We’re here to meet you wherever you are.

Our new t:u courses are designed to reflect today’s creator journey and help you dive into your online business journey.

We’ll still provide the essential guidance for getting started on Teachable and the best strategies we have for building a sustainable business through digital downloads, online courses, and coaching.

But we’ll also share with you the best tips and tricks from industry and creator experts to learn how to scale and earn more money, market in today’s fast-moving digital space, and take your business to the next stage of growth.

Choose your future

We have a number of different types of courses in t:u. For those who want to get down to the basics of building an online course or knowledge business, dive into our Core courses.

In these three courses, we’re sharing everything we know and have learned over the last few years. They’re meant be taken consecutively (but feel free to jump around!) and go through the process of building a sustainable business plan, mapping your purchase journey from lead magnet to full course, building your curriculum and the benefits of Teachable, and a full email launch strategy. This is our bread and butter series complete with workbooks, guides, and demos so you can feel supported on their journey from day one.

Have your course or business off the ground and want to get into the nitty gritty? Head over to our other general mini courses that cover topics on marketing, video, social media, copy, and more. These are the topics we know creators want most.

Here, we tap our own creators and industry experts for insight and tips and tricks that work. Expect real strategies, bonus lessons from creators who have been there and done that, downloadable workbooks and checklists to help you stay on track, reading lists and links to go one step further in your learning.
