Stories from Vykintas Glodenis’s students

I've built a growing team of custom AI agents that handle tasks such as research, data analysis, content creation, design, and marketing... I can turn product and service concepts into immersive stories and functional prototypes within hours or days rather than weeks, testing them with human and synthetic users to accelerate product development and enhance client collaboration... AI Mastery shifted my relationship with AI - from seeing it as a powerful tool to working with it as a collaborative partner. It feels like having a 24/7 team of experts by my side, bouncing ideas, creating assets, building products, generating feedback, and learning from data.

For the first time, I had a tool that could be shaped entirely around the business. Not a generic platform with a configuration panel. A genuinely tailored system, built from the ground up around how a DMC actually operates - our workflow, our terminology, our commercial logic, our team structure... Before this programme, I could use AI. After it, I could build with it. The difference is significant.

I'd built my practice through were thinning out, organisations turning to AI instead of hiring coaches like me, and as the main breadwinner for our family, I felt I was watching my own income narrow while I was meant to be the solid ground everyone else stood on... I'm 65 and I feel hopeful and excited about what I can build next.

I no longer sit down and prompt in the way I used to. I instruct. I tell Claude to go into my Airtable, find the relevant information, and start building what I need. It goes and gets it... The work that used to take me days, consolidating information, drafting commentaries, building comparison documents, now takes a couple of hours. I'm not doing less thinking. I'm doing more of it, because the system handles the assembly and I can focus entirely on the judgement and the expertise that no tool can replace.

I could think out loud with it - stress-test an idea, throw out what didn't hold up, keep what did - at a speed that matched how fast I actually wanted to move... The brand exists. Now it's about getting it in front of the right people and converting interest into actual client work.

I have a completely different mindset and an understanding of a whole range of AI tools I did not even know existed, such as Airtable. The programme gave me the confidence to explore, experiment, and learn independently, pushing me far beyond my own expectations... The biggest change for me has been moving from simply using technology to actively building with it.

Before starting the AI Essentials and Mastery Quest, I found myself constantly stretched for time, chained to my desk for hours perfecting legal documents and navigating intricate cases... With AI as my partner, I've reclaimed 2-3 hours of my day-hours I now dedicate to refining my vision, exploring new ideas, and cultivating balance in my life... The Quest taught me that AI is not something to fear but to embrace, that it's not here to replace me but to amplify what I already do best.

I fed Claude a rough voice note about Engineering Futures, our STEM charity, and got back a fully branded trustee briefing document, correct fonts, correct colour palette, governance structure intact, in less time than it takes me to find my glasses... the bottleneck in most of my businesses was never expertise, it was getting the expertise out of my head and onto a page in a form someone else could use.

AI stopped feeling like something intimidating and became something collaborative... This program hasn't just taught me tools-it's changed my relationship with what I believed I could do.

I automated the majority of the work I used to do manually, redesigned my workflows, and fundamentally changed how I operate day to day. As a result, I now produce around five times more output than before-without working longer hours... Within my company, I am now seen as one of the AI visionaries-someone who doesn't just use AI tools, but understands how to apply them thoughtfully and strategically.

I was an entrepreneur with a fundamental problem: ideas were never my limitation-execution was... Over the next six weeks, I built Expand Health AI-a complete, production-ready healthcare practice management platform. Not a prototype. Not a landing page... I've gone from idea person to builder. From entrepreneur to founder-developer. The ventures I'll create from this point forward won't be limited by my ability to find or afford technical talent-they'll only be limited by my imagination and willingness to ship.

I could build, but I couldn't market... I'm no longer limited by what I don't know. I'm only limited by what I haven't chosen to learn yet-and now I have the system to learn anything.
