Clawdemy

Free AI education, because the people most affected by AI deserve to understand it.

Clawdemy is RBJ Global's free AI literacy site. It is the philosophical anchor of the company, not a side project.

Who this is for

People worried about being displaced by AI. Parents who want to teach their kids how the technology works. Professionals catching up because their job suddenly involves AI tools. Anyone who is tired of being talked over by industry jargon.

Why it exists

The people who fear AI displacement are exactly the people most often locked out of the paid courses that would help them understand what is actually happening. Coursera, Udemy, MasterClass, and a long list of others have turned learning into a subscription category. We do not think understanding the technology that is reshaping work should require a credit card.

Clawdemy is free, will stay free, and is licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 so the curriculum can be remixed, translated, taught in classrooms, and built upon. The company runs on its paid products. The education runs on its principles.

The audio difference

Press play on Lesson 1 as you start your commute. By the time you arrive at work, you understand how a transformer reads a sentence. No screens, no notebooks, no scheduling. The same lesson is text on the site if you would rather read.

Every lesson is narrated by AI. Subscribe to the podcast feed and learn on the way to work, on the treadmill, on a long flight. The audio is not an afterthought; it is part of the editorial process. Lessons are written knowing they will be heard, not just read.

This is the feature the founder is proudest of, and it changes who can engage with the material. People who do not have an hour to read a long-form essay still have an hour to listen on the commute.

What is available now

Track 5: AI Foundations is live. Seven lessons covering the core mechanics of how a modern language model is built and trained, adapted from the Stanford CME 295 transformer foundations curriculum for a general audience.

  1. 01.Tokenization: how language becomes numbers
  2. 02.Embeddings: meaning as geometry
  3. 03.Attention: what the model is looking at
  4. 04.Transformers: the architecture that powers it all
  5. 05.Pre-training: what the model knew before you arrived
  6. 06.Fine-tuning: adapting a model to a task
  7. 07.Evaluation: how we know the model is any good

What is coming

More tracks in development covering practical AI use, prompt engineering, agent design, and AI safety fundamentals. Topics, not deadlines. Each lesson is hand-written and reviewed line by line before it ships, so the curriculum grows at the pace of getting the work right.

How it is built

Lessons are hand-written and reviewed by people. The AI handles narration only, not authorship. Each lesson goes through editorial review before it ships, more than once, because AI literacy is the kind of thing that has to be right.

Audio is generated by an AI narration pipeline tuned to the editorial voice of the curriculum. The output is reviewed before publication, the same way the text is. The site is built on Astro with the Starlight documentation framework.

Open and forkable

The curriculum is licensed Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 on GitHub. Educators can adapt it. Translators can localize it. Improvements are welcome via pull request. The goal is to be a public good, not a moat. If a teacher wants to use Lesson 3 in a classroom in Mumbai, that is the point.
