AI Automation SocietyFirst look
Skool · Nate HerkFree · Plus ≈$99/moVerified July 2026
Nate Herk's community for building AI automations with n8n and, increasingly, Claude Code, calling itself the largest global AI automation community (≈420k members). The free tier offers 100+ importable n8n templates, drop-in Claude Code skills, a 7-day build challenge with a certification, and full GitHub repos to clone; a paid "Plus" tier adds courses, an n8n masterclass, weekly live calls and tech support. Best for hands-on n8n/Claude Code builders; skip it if you use neither tool.

The AI App AcademyFirst look
Chris Ashby's small, transparent paid community, now operating on Skool as "AI App Builders", built around a Claude Code Crash Course and a 'BuilderOS' system to build and launch a product fast, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Rebranded and re-priced since AcademyGems's last check: now $9/month (down from $59/month). Best for vibe coders wanting a tight, tool-specific build path; skip it if you want a large peer network.

AI Captains AcademyFirst look
Jordan Urbs' paid Skool community for solo business builders who are not developers: a sequenced curriculum that starts at the terminal and ends with agents, automations and a knowledge base that run your business, plus two live calls a week and feedback on your actual work. $83/month or $497/year with a 7-day free trial, around 95 members. Best if you want order and feedback instead of another tutorial pile; skip it if you want a huge peer network or a free option.
≈95 members≈95 membersRead review → - 04
Vibe Coding AcademyFirst look
Alex Finn's paid builder community and masterclass teaching non-coders to design, build and ship a real AI app on a modern stack using Claude Code (plus an "OpenClaw" masterclass), with weekly live coaching calls and $10,000+ in stated bonuses. $97/month.

≈950 members≈950 membersRead review → - 05
The AI AdvantageFirst look
Founded by Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi and Igor Pogany, The AI Advantage is a large public Skool community (≈126k members) pitched at everyday people and businesses around three pillars: Clarity (curated tools and prompts), Confidence (applying AI to your work) and Connection (a peer community). Free to join, with a paid AI Advantage Club upsell. Best for non-technical beginners; skip it if you want hands-on technical depth.

AI Automation (A-Z)First look
Albert Shiney's Skool community (≈164.8k members), one of the largest of its kind, built around a 7-day challenge that takes a beginner from zero to a first AI automation agency client, with daily software giveaways and a newer optional 1:1 mentorship add-on. It is $7/month after a 7-day free trial, and the page states the price becomes $50/month for new members once it passes 165,000. Funnels toward an external paid tool (Buildmyagent). Best for beginners wanting a fast, cheap challenge; skip it if you want tool-specific depth instead.
≈164.8k members≈164.8k membersRead review → - 07
AI Money LabFirst look
Julian Goldie's free Skool community (≈85k members) focused on making money with AI: 50+ free AI tools, 200+ ChatGPT SEO prompts, 1,000+ n8n workflows, and member case studies (including a reported $10,000+ ChatGPT earner), with daily free trainings. Funnels toward the paid AI Profit Boardroom. Best for SEO/content marketers who like self-directing through a big resource library; skip it if you want structure over volume.
≈85k members≈85k membersRead review → - 08
Claude Code ClubFirst look
Duncan Rogoff's paid community billed as the #1 place to learn Claude Code: a step-by-step beginner roadmap, ready-to-use templates and prompts, and active builders, aimed at turning anyone who can type into a builder. Currently $9/month, but the community says the rate rises to $58/month once it reaches 8,100 members (its sales page showed 12 spots left at $9 on 8 October 2026, and Skool's own data showed 8,047 members). Best for beginners wanting a cheap, guided start; skip it if you want a large peer network or already ship software.
≈8.0k members≈8.0k membersRead review → - 09
Automatable FreeFirst look
Jono Catliff's free Skool community (≈22.8k members): 100+ plug-and-play automation blueprints from his 140k-subscriber YouTube channel, covering Claude Code builds, n8n, Make and GoHighLevel, each with an optional walkthrough. A free home base, with a paid Automatable community upsell. Best for self-paced builders who want real blueprints to clone; skip it if you want structured, sequential teaching.
≈22.8k members≈22.8k membersRead review → - 10
AI Make Money (AI Launch Kit)First look
Jens Dietrich's free Skool community (AI Launch Kit, ≈8.5k members) for builders: 555 validated AI product ideas, six focused courses on idea validation, building, launching and getting customers, and a builder feed. Aimed at creating AI SaaS, agents and products for recurring revenue. Free for now, with a future price noted around $55. Best for product-minded builders who want a validated idea bank; skip it if you want a long track record or a large peer network.
≈8.5k members≈8.5k membersRead review → - 11
AI Automations by JackFirst look
Jack Roberts' paid Skool community for building and selling AI automations, built around a Claude Code course (the sales page also shows a new ChatGPT Astra + Claude Code course, updated 1 October 2026), 200+ blueprints, the 'Hermes OS' system, daily live calls and unlimited tech support. Now $87/month, rising to $97 at 3,400 members. Best for agency builders who will use the daily calls; skip it if you are price-sensitive or just exploring.
≈3.3k members≈3.3k membersRead review → - 12
AI Profit BoardroomFirst look
The paid upgrade from Julian Goldie's free AI Money Lab: the Agent OS Profit System, done-for-you custom automations, daily Q&As, four weekly live coaching calls, and unlimited tech support. $59/month (promo price, normally $71), with a 7-day refund and a 30-day ROI guarantee. Best for people who have outgrown the free tier and will use the coaching; skip it if you have not tried AI Money Lab first.
≈4k members≈4k membersRead review → - 13
Agentic LabsFirst look
Leon van Zyl's paid Skool community for agentic and vibe coding: a continuously updated Agentic Coding Masterclass, weekly Lab Challenges posted on Mondays, and weekly live Q&As and deep dives across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, n8n, OpenAI and Gemini. $29/month, around 655 members. Notable for what it does not do: no income claims, no scarcity pricing, no upsell ladder. Best for people who want to learn agentic coding properly; skip it if you want a large peer network.
≈655 members≈655 membersRead review → - 14
Maker School: AI AutomationFirst look
Nick Saraev's paid Skool community for building an AI automation business: 218 videos and guides, end-to-end courses, 50-plus templates and scripts, three lead-generation methods, daily Q&A answered with custom video, weekly group calls and a job board, across Claude Code, Codex and n8n. $184/month with a stated "first paying AI client in 90 days or your money back" guarantee, around 2,200 members. Best for people going all-in on an automation business; skip it if the price is a stretch.
≈2.2k members≈2.2k membersRead review → - 15
AI Lab ProFirst look
Mark Mars' $9/month Skool community aimed at shipping a micro-SaaS with Claude Code: zero-to-shipped training, coding challenges, a launch playbook, customer-acquisition material, weekly build logs and 20-plus AI courses on agents and automation, with a free trial. Around 298 members. The topic fit is excellent, but the founder's public track record is the weakest AcademyGems has checked in this category, and the headline revenue figures are unverifiable.
≈298 members≈298 membersRead review → - 16
Claude for Content AutomationFirst look
Karim Karaki's $9/month Skool community applying Claude Code to content production: environment setup, AI image and video generation, content automation systems, multi-platform scheduling across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, viral video recreation, advanced prompting and a beginner-to-client roadmap. Around 567 members, with the price set to jump to $49 at 570. The subject is a genuine gap in this list; the founder has no public teaching record and the pricing counter is three members from triggering.
≈567 members≈567 membersRead review → - 17
AI Automation VaultFirst look
Jack Roberts' free Skool community (≈39.8k members): a resource vault for Claude Code, Claude Cowork and AntiGravity, and the free front door to his paid AI Automations by Jack room. Best for grabbing current tooling resources at no cost; skip it if you want a sequenced curriculum, because 3 courses across 26 modules is thin for its size.
≈39.8k members≈39.8k membersRead review → - 18
Maker ZeroFirst look
Nick Saraev's free Skool community (≈28.5k members): 10 courses across 102 modules on Claude Code, Codex, AI agents and automation, plus scrapers, proposal generators and 90-plus prebuilt systems. The free tier below Maker School, and unusually substantial for one. Best for a free, structured Claude Code start; skip it if you want live coaching, which is the paid room.
≈28.5k members≈28.5k membersRead review → - 19
Tech SnackFirst look
Sean Kochel's free Skool community (≈19.9k members) teaching non-developers to vibe code with Claude Code, agents and skills. Six courses across 53 modules, curated from his YouTube content, with the referenced files linked. Best for non-devs who learn from video and want the working files; skip it if you want a paid room with live support.

ZeroOne SystemsFirst look
Lewis Jackson's Skool community (≈14.5k members) with 26 courses across 509 modules, the largest curriculum AcademyGems has catalogued on the platform. Free to join, with a paid VIP tier offering a 60-day 'build your first agent or get triple your money back as credit' guarantee. Best for self-directed builders; read the guarantee terms closely before paying.
≈14.5k members≈14.5k membersRead review → - 21
Agentic FoundationsFirst look
Simon Coton's free Skool community (≈9.4k members) built around a single promise: under an hour a day for seven days, ending with one AI system that actually runs, using Claude Code and n8n. Five courses across 103 modules. The free entry to his paid Agentic Academy. Best for people stuck in tutorial loops who need one finished thing.
≈9.4k members≈9.4k membersRead review → - 22
AI Agent BuildersFirst look
Tech With Tim's free Skool community (≈6.5k members): a Zero-to-Agent course across 11 courses and 144 modules, aimed at shipping one working agent rather than watching more videos. The instructor's 2.07M-subscriber YouTube channel is independently verified, which is rare in this category. The page says free 'right now' with no promise it stays free.
≈6.5k members≈6.5k membersRead review → - 23
CC Strategic AIFirst look
A Skool community (≈3.3k members) teaching business owners Claude Code, with 14 courses across 179 modules. Skool quotes $47/month to join while the landing page advertises a different three-tier structure (free Standard, $97/mo Premium, $1,997/yr VIP), so confirm what you are actually buying at checkout before you pay.
≈3.3k members≈3.3k membersRead review → - 24
Vibe Coding Pro ClubFirst look
Ardit Sulce's paid Skool community ($29/month, ≈2.8k members) that picks up where most vibe coding courses stop: databases, Stripe payments, security and deployment, using Cursor and Claude Code on mainly Python apps. Nine courses across 40 modules. Best for people with a stalled half-built app; skip it if you have not started one.

Requires the command line.

Claude Code AcademyFirst look
Marko Sudar's Skool community (≈1.4k members): free to join, with Academy Premium at $69/month covering 7 courses across 123 modules, a 550-plus prompt Vault and a weekly live call. Real curriculum depth, but the sales page totals its own components at $11,500 and its scarcity threshold has already been passed. Best if you will use the Vault; skip it if you have not exhausted free Claude Code rooms first.
