[02]Who it's for

Wherever you are on the AI ladder, there’s a first step.

The same call format works for someone two semesters from graduating and someone fifteen years deep in a non-AI career. Only the conversation changes.

01

Profile / 01

Students & new grads

Pick a track without guessing - ML engineer, AI product, research, applied science, or applied ML in a specific domain. Plot the first 6 months.

  • 01Which AI role fits how you think
  • 02Portfolio projects that get callbacks
  • 03Whether to do a Master’s, a bootcamp, or self-study
02

Profile / 02

Early-career builders

  • 03Negotiating a switch into an AI-leaning team

  • 02Whether to pivot fully or evolve in place
  • 03A 90-day plan you can actually follow

[03]What we cover

45 minutes of real conversation - not generic advice.

The agenda flexes to what you actually bring. These are the six anchors we keep returning to.

A.01

Where you actually are

A real read on your background, strengths, and constraints - not a sales script.

A.02

Where you want to go

Clarify the AI role / outcome that fits you, not the trendiest one on LinkedIn.

A.03

The gap between the two

Honest skill, portfolio, or positioning gaps - and which ones matter most.

A.04

A 30 / 60 / 90 plan

Concrete next steps for the next 30, 60, and 90 days - not vague advice.

A.05

Tools, courses, communities

What’s actually worth your time right now (most of them aren’t ours).

A.06

Your real questions

Bring the messy ones. We’d rather answer one honestly than ten generically.

[04]What you walk away with

Clarity. In writing. Within 24 hours.

Every call ends with a short written summary - the plan we landed on, the resources we agreed on, the questions still open. Yours to keep.

01

A clear, written next-step plan you can take into the week.

02

A short reading / project list tailored to where you are.

03

A second opinion on the move you’re considering.

04

No spam, no hard sell - just a record of what we talked about.

[05]How it works

Three steps. No hoops.

From form to first call in under a working week.

Step 01

Tell us where you are

A 60-second form. The more honest you are, the better the call goes.

Step 02

We confirm a time

You’ll get a calendar invite with a video link within 1–2 working days.

Step 03

45-minute 1:1 call

With an AI School mentor. Camera on or off, your call. Bring questions.

[06]Reserve your slot

Tell us about yourself. We’ll plan the call around it.

Takes about 60 seconds. The more honest your answers, the better the 45 minutes will be. You’ll hear back within 1–2 working days with a confirmed slot and a video link.

01Private - only seen by AI School mentors
021–2 working day turnaround
03Written summary after the call

Booking form — mentor call

By submitting, you agree to be contacted about your requested mentor call. No marketing emails.

[07]Honest answers

Frequently asked.

If your question isn’t here, ask it on the call.

It’s a paid 1:1 session - we deliberately keep it accessible compared to traditional career-coaching. The exact fee is shared on your confirmation, and we waive or discount it case-by-case for students and people in transition who can show real intent. Ask in the form notes if that’s you.

An AI School mentor - one of our practitioners, instructors, or alumni who actively works in or hires for AI roles. We match you based on your situation and goal.

45 minutes over video. We start with where you are, end with a concrete next-step plan in your inbox.

Especially for you. A big share of the people we talk to are pivoting in from non-AI roles. We will not patronise you.

No. If a course (ours or someone else’s) genuinely fits, we’ll say so. If self-study, a project, or a different program fits better, we’ll say that too. The goal is your next step, not our pipeline.

Yes - many people come back at decision points (after a job offer, before applying, halfway through a pivot). Use the same form; mention your last call in the notes.
