About Maker School: AI Automation

The core material is 218 videos and guides laid out as a day-by-day roadmap to a first AI client, alongside full courses on tools including Claude and n8n.[1] Members also get more than 50 templates and scripts for AI, lead generation and sales, plus discounts on AI automation platforms.[1] Saraev responds to posts daily, answers questions with recorded custom videos and runs weekly calls.[1] A jobs section lets members get hired for AI work by other members.[1]

Before Maker School, he co-founded two service businesses, LeftClick and 1SecondCopy.[2] Saraev runs a YouTube channel with Claude Code tutorials, Antigravity guides, n8n courses and sales masterclasses, and publishes The Cusp Newsletter.[3][4] His site also offers a separate community with weekly office hours, Q&A, live roasts and hands-on training.[3]

The group states a conditional refund term: members who do not land a first paying AI client within 90 days can get their money back.[1]

The price and the member count above would multiply out to a figure large enough to be misread as a claim about this business, so no ceiling is calculated. Both published figures are shown above and are unchanged.
