NO BS AI™ by RJ Redden is an AI class and membership where creatives and entrepreneurs learn to create their own AI tools, no code required, minus the hype and the doom.
It lives at nobsai.now, in a classroom called the AI Goblin Mine. (The goblins are the AI: eager, fast, and completely clueless about what you want until you tell them. They're adorable. They'd like that on the record.)
Who's answering: RJ Redden, who founded NO BS AI™. She has been coaching people about technology since 1998 and working with AI since 2020, and she does not code.
NO BS AI™ is for creatives and entrepreneurs who want to use AI on their own work, and who are tired of being sold to, or shouted at, about it.
Writers. Worldbuilders. Coaches. Makers. People with a business to run and a someday they keep postponing. Nobody needs to code, and nobody needs to pick a side in the AI wars first. If you can explain a chore to a friend over coffee, you already have the one skill the door checks for.
In NO BS AI™ you learn to create your own AI tools, with no code, starting with the chore you resent most on your own desk.
Day one, you set your dials: one page that tells your AI how you sound, what it takes off your desk, and where it never goes. After that come the tools themselves: the follow-up email you rewrite every week, the image every newsletter needs, the welcome note that never quite sounds like you. I call a tool like that a time machine, because it hands back the hours the chore used to eat.
The art underneath all of it is working with the AI's enthusiasm instead of wrestling it to the floor. I call that [AI]Kido.
Want to see the shape of it before you sign up for anything? Here is one tool, start to finish: how to create your first AI tool without coding.
NO BS AI™ by RJ Redden has three doors in: the Foundation (the curriculum), the Guild (the monthly membership) and the Bundle (both).
The Guild also opens with a free week. (First Draft Ninja™ opens on day eight, when the membership starts.) A card goes in at checkout, and on day eight it becomes $97 a month unless you cancel first, which you do yourself in a couple of clicks. Whatever you create that week stays yours either way. All three doors are on nobsai.now.
RJ Redden teaches NO BS AI™, and she does not code.
In December 2025 a client looked at my screen, saw the dashboards and workflows humming along, and asked how big my dev team was. The team is me. Every tool I run my studio on, I created by describing what I needed to an AI in plain English and sending it back when it got things wrong. (Which it does, often, with enormous confidence.) That's exactly what I teach. More about RJ.
Choosing between teachers? Here's how to judge any of us, me included: Who teaches AI without the BS?
NO BS AI™ lives at nobsai.now. RJ writes on her Substack at comewriteinn.com, and her studio, Black Belt Bots™, is right here at blackbeltbots.com.
No. A few other projects use a similar name, and none of them are connected to NO BS AI™ by RJ Redden.
If it doesn't live at nobsai.now or come from RJ Redden, it belongs to somebody else. (Possibly lovely. Just not this.)
Start with a person you connect with, and one class where you create something real on your own work. At NO BS AI™, that person is RJ Redden, and the door is a free week.
And if you're still deciding who to learn from, I wrote the whole answer down: How do I get started with AI for my business without the hype?
