Awesome Hermes Agent

Most AI education either teaches you to prompt a tool, or teaches you to build one. This teaches something else: how to turn AI-generated image/video/audio — or a tool you build yourself with a coding agent — into an actual, priced, sellable service or product. Every module ends with pricing, positioning, and where to find your first client — not just "how it works."

Why this exists

Paid communities teaching this (Skool/Whop-style, $47–$97/mo) already cluster around exactly these niches — the demand is proven. What's missing is a version that's free, that cites real numbers instead of vague income claims, and that treats "how do I actually get paid for this" as the main subject instead of an afterthought bolted onto a tool tutorial.

Tracks

15 independent tracks — pick whichever matches the business you want to build, in any order. Numbered by demand evidence and coverage breadth, not by difficulty or prerequisite order. See ROADMAP.md for full module-by-module status.

Start here

Track 1: AI Video Ads & UGC is the only fully-written track today — it's the proof-of-format pilot every other track will follow.

What a module actually looks like

An excerpt from Track 1, so you know what you're getting before you click in.

From Module 1 — the script structure Do It

Hook (0-2 sec)
[A question, bold claim, or visual
surprise that stops the scroll]

Problem / Pitch (2-15 sec)
[What problem does the viewer have,
said like you'd tell a friend]

Proof / Demo (15-25 sec)
Call to Action (25-30 sec)

From Module 4 — real pricing ranges Launch It

Anchored to documented freelance-marketplace and agency-retainer ranges — not invented.

The shape of a module

Every module in every track follows the same structure, so you always know what you're getting:

Problem → Concept → Do It → Compare Tools → Launch It → Exercises

• Problem / Concept — the real pain this solves, and the mental model behind it, before any steps.
• Do It — the actual step-by-step workflow.
• Compare Tools — the honest tradeoff between API-based generation, other paid tools, and local/self-hosted models — never just "APIs are easier."
• Launch It — pricing, positioning, and where to find your first client. This is the part most tutorials skip, and the reason this curriculum exists.
• Templates — a reusable artifact (a script template, a pricing sheet, an outreach message) saved in the track's shared templates/ folder.

See LESSON_TEMPLATE.md for the full template used to write every module.

Getting started

Read online. Browse a track under tracks/ — start with Track 1.

Clone and go:

git clone https://github.com/Anil-matcha/ai-creator-academy.git
cd ai-creator-academy
open tracks/01-ai-video-ads-ugc/01-how-ugc-works.md

Prerequisites

• No coding required.
• Either an API key for a generative media provider (any provider works — muapi.ai is used as the reference throughout, since it aggregates 500+ models under one API), or a local/self-hosted setup (e.g. ComfyUI) for the modules that support it — every module's "Compare Tools" section covers both paths.
• Curiosity about running this as an actual service, not just a hobby.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code? No. Every module is written for creators and freelancers — the only technical step in most modules is calling a generation API or using a tool's UI. If you want to go further, Track 15 covers using coding agents to build your own tools — no prior programming background required there either.

Do I have to use muapi.ai? No — any generative media provider works. muapi.ai is used as the reference implementation throughout because it aggregates many models behind one API, but the underlying technique in each module isn't provider-specific.

Is there a local/free-to-run option, or do I need to pay for API credits? Both are covered. Every module's "Compare Tools" section shows the API path alongside a local/self-hosted path (e.g. ComfyUI) where one realistically exists, with an honest cost/speed/quality tradeoff.

Why isn't [track/niche] covered yet? Only Track 1 is fully written so far — it's the pilot proving the format before the rest get written. See ROADMAP.md for what's planned, and CONTRIBUTING.md if you want to help write one.
