About AI Employee Lab
The lessons follow a step-by-step roadmap that the group says needs no coding experience, and cover giving agents the full context of a business.[1] The owner also runs the community itself with a team of AI agents, shown to members as it happens.[1] Membership is billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time.[1]
The group is run by Kyle Herbel, an AI educator who founded CortexTools, which calls itself The AI Learning Company and teaches beginners to build with AI in plain English.[1][2][3] Herbel's site also lists Agentic Business Academy, a community on building AI employees, an AI Department course on landing automation clients, and AI Founder Lab, for builders shipping products by vibe coding.[2] A YouTube channel tied to the group reviews new AI tools and covers agents, automation, no-code app building and AI content work.[4]
