The turning point came when I watched a friend spend three months trying to learn video editing through paid courses that taught software, not thinking. At the end of it, she still could not make the creative work she imagined. The tools had changed. The teaching had not.
When AI video tools began to emerge, I realised that the same pattern would repeat itself. A wave of powerful, accessible tools, surrounded by a fog of hype and gatekeeping, leaving most people either overwhelmed or exploited by expensive courses promising impossible outcomes.
I built AIQ to be the honest alternative. Practical lessons, real projects, real tools, no gatekeeping. The mission is simple: if you have an idea and a few hours, you should be able to bring it to life. AIQ is how you do that.
