Lloyd is an AI-native entrepreneur who specializes in automating businesses and processes with agentic workflows. His tech career started as "The YouTube Ads Guy," and when the early releases of ChatGPT and other LLMs emerged he saw AI as the most transformative technology of our lifetimes - and set about learning everything he could about it. Nowadays he's happy to check in between classes on the AI agents running his businesses while he shows Varsity Tutors students how they can do the same.
The three most powerful AI tools available — ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude — are all free, all different, and most students are only using one of them, if any. This 4-week course changes that. Students explore what each tool is actually good at, how they handle the same task differently, and how to use each one strategically depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone who's dabbled in AI but wants to go deeper, this course gives you a genuine working knowledge of the tools reshaping how people learn, create, and work — and the confidence to use all three with real skill.
