Everything you need
to get going

Quick answers so you can spend less time wondering and more time doing.

Getting started
What is AI Explorers?

AI Explorers is a hands-on learning platform for building real AI skills through doing, not watching. You receive practical challenges, work through them using Claude CoWork and Claude Code, and build a live, shareable certificate that grows with every challenge you pass.

No lectures, no passive video content — just honest practice and a genuine record of your progress.

How do I get started?

Join us on Substack — that's where new challenges are posted. New challenges land straight in your inbox so you can start at your own pace.

Once you're subscribed, you'll receive your first challenge straight away and can start at your own pace.

Is it free?

Yes — completely free. Joining the community, receiving challenges, submitting challenges, and earning your public certificate all cost nothing.

Want a faster start? If you'd prefer structured guidance, a live cohort, and hands-on help setting everything up, our virtual bootcamp is a great way to accelerate. Designed to get you up and running with confidence in a single session.
Who it's for
Do I need a technical background?

AI Explorers is for everyone. The challenges are designed to be approachable whether you're a complete beginner or someone already comfortable with Claude CoWork and Claude Code. What matters is curiosity and a willingness to try things.

You don't need to know how to code to get started, and you'll naturally build confidence as you go.

What tools will I be using?

Challenges are built around Claude CoWork and Claude Code — Anthropic's tools for working with AI agents in real, practical workflows. More tools are coming as the platform grows.

No prior experience with either tool is needed. Part of the learning is getting comfortable with them through use.

Challenges & assessment
How does assessment work?

Each challenge is assessed automatically the moment you submit — no waiting, no manual marking. You'll know straight away whether you've passed.

Submissions are made using the AI Explorers Submit plugin, which you install once and use for every challenge.

How do I install the Submit plugin?

The plugin installs directly from GitHub into Claude CoWork in a few clicks — no file downloads needed.

  1. Open Claude CoWork and go to Settings → Plugins
  2. Click Add from URL
  3. Paste https://github.com/easyP-Org/submit-challenge and click Install
  4. Type /submit-challenge in any session to confirm it's working

Need to connect the MCP server for Claude Code instead? The full guide covers both.

How do I receive challenges?

Challenges are shared through Substack. When a new challenge drops, you'll get it directly in your inbox — along with context and tips to help you work through it.

If you're not subscribed yet, that's step one. Subscribe here →

What happens when I pass a challenge?

Every challenge you pass is added to your public achievement record — a live certificate that updates in real time. Not a PDF sitting in a downloads folder. A URL you can share with employers, add to your LinkedIn profile, or simply point to as proof of what you can do.

In a world where everyone claims to know AI, showing your work matters.

Community
What is the Substack community for?

Substack is where AI Explorers actually happens. It's where you:

  • Receive new challenges as they're released
  • Get context and tips for each challenge
  • Stay connected with the AI Explorers community

Subscribing takes seconds and challenges land straight in your inbox.

Do I have to be active in the community?

No pressure — you're in control of how much you engage. At minimum, subscribing on Substack is the essential first step to receive challenges.

Virtual bootcamp
What is the AI Explorers bootcamp?

The bootcamp is a virtual session designed to get you from zero to confident with Claude CoWork and Claude Code in a single session. You'll set everything up, work through your first challenges with hands-on support, and leave with a working setup and a real head start.

The platform is free and self-directed — but if you've ever stalled at the setup stage or want more structure, the bootcamp is the fastest way in.

Who is the bootcamp for?

Anyone who wants a guided, hands-on start rather than figuring it out solo. Particularly useful if you:

  • Are new to Claude CoWork or Claude Code
  • Have tried to get started before but stalled
  • Learn better with live instruction and people around you
  • Want to get set up correctly from day one

All backgrounds welcome. No prior AI experience needed.
