About the Service
You've built a chatbot. Now find out if it works for other people and start building your user base.
In this program, you'll put your chatbot in front of real users and learn from what happens. You'll recruit testers, gather feedback, and iterate on your tool based on what you discover. This is where your chatbot grows from a personal project into something that works for others. It's also where you start building an audience for what you've created.
You won't do this alone. Participants test each other's chatbots and share what they learn, so you get feedback from people who understand the chef approach. Monthly Q&A sessions give you space to dig deeper into questions that come up. A dedicated chatbot—the Greenhouse—helps you craft messaging and attract testers.
By the end, you'll have:
Real feedback from users outside your own head
A refined chatbot based on what you learned
Experience giving and receiving feedback on AI tools
The beginnings of a user base for your tool
A clearer sense of what works and what needs more iteration
The program runs for 12 weeks. Requires completing The AI Cooking Class and Become an AI Chef first.
Want some extra support? You can add a 1-hour consult with me for $100, or work with me on an ongoing basis as an advisor or collaborator.
Ready to go deeper? In Advanced Chefing, you'll master advanced techniques in a small group with individual attention.
The current cohort runs November 25–February 28. You can join now or wait until a new cohort opens after.

Career coach
I came into this course as a regular ChatGPT user who often felt frustrated by the tool’s defaults. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to build something meaningful, and honestly, I felt a little intimidated. Thanks to Ravit’s clear, step-by-step process, I built a working chatbot that directly addresses a pain point in my business. And it is working for me! I've used it a few times already with great results. The course gave me exactly what I needed: a way to decide what I wanted, create it, test it, and revise it in line with my goals, all without needing any coding skills.
Ravit's nuanced, thoughtful perspective stands out in a space too often dominated by folks teaching/chasing "hacks," which isn't what I'm after. (I want better, even if it takes longer!)
I left the course not only empowered to use AI more effectively for myself, but also excited about how I can apply these skills to support my clients. Highly recommended for anyone looking to turn genAI into a tool that truly works for them.
