Clawdemy

Free AI education, narrated for life on the move.

What it is

Clawdemy is RBJ Global's free AI literacy product. It is a curriculum of hand-written lessons, narrated by AI, that teach the mechanics of how modern language models actually work. The lessons are designed to be read on the site, listened to as a podcast, or adapted into a classroom.

It is the philosophical anchor of the company, not a side project. The other RBJ Global products are paid. Clawdemy is the piece that says out loud what the company believes: understanding the technology that is reshaping work should not require a credit card.

Who it is for

People worried about being displaced by AI. Parents who want to teach their kids how the technology works. Professionals catching up because their job suddenly involves AI tools. Teachers looking for source material. Anyone who is tired of being talked over by industry jargon.

Why it exists

The people who fear AI displacement are exactly the people most often locked out of the paid courses that would help them understand what is actually happening. Coursera, Udemy, MasterClass, and a long list of others have turned learning into a subscription category. We do not think understanding the technology that is reshaping work should require a credit card.

Clawdemy is free, will stay free, and is licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 so the curriculum can be remixed, translated, taught in classrooms, and built upon. The company runs on its paid products. The education runs on its principles.

How it is different

  • Free, forever

    No paywall, no signup, no email capture. The site runs on the company, not on the readers.

  • Audio-first

    Every lesson is narrated. Listen on the commute, on the treadmill, on a long flight. Same lesson is on the site if you would rather read.

  • Open and forkable

    Licensed Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0. Educators can adapt it, translators can localize it, anyone can build on it.

What is available now

The library now spans the path from neural-network intuition to reinforcement learning, with audio narration on every lesson. The AI Foundations track is the starting point: it takes you from how a model reads a token through architecture and training at scale, alignment, inference-time steering, reasoning and agents, and how the field evaluates modern AI systems.

The first seven lessons cover the core mechanics, adapted from the Stanford CME 295 transformer foundations curriculum for a general audience:

  1. 01.Tokenization: how language becomes numbers
  2. 02.Embeddings: meaning as geometry
  3. 03.Attention: what the model is looking at
  4. 04.Transformers: the architecture that powers it all
  5. 05.Pre-training: what the model knew before you arrived
  6. 06.Fine-tuning: adapting a model to a task
  7. 07.Evaluation: how we know the model is any good

The audio difference

Press play on Lesson 1 as you start your commute. By the time you arrive at work, you understand how a transformer reads a sentence. No screens, no notebooks, no scheduling. The same lesson is text on the site if you would rather read.

Every lesson is narrated by AI. Subscribe to the podcast feed and learn on the way to work, on the treadmill, on a long flight. The audio is not an afterthought; it is part of the editorial process. Lessons are written knowing they will be heard, not just read.

This is the feature the founder is proudest of, and it changes who can engage with the material. People who do not have an hour to read a long-form essay still have an hour to listen on the commute.

Reading along, two ways

Press play to hear this paragraph narrated, with each word lighting up as it is spoken. The same view ships on every audio-narrated lesson at clawdemy.org.

Audio-narrated lessons include a read-along view that dims the text as the narration plays, so the line you are hearing is also the line your eye lands on. Readers pick the dim style they prefer, word-by-word or paragraph-by-paragraph, from a small toggle below the audio player. The choice carries across every audio-narrated lesson via your browser's local storage. No account is needed. The default is word-by-word, where the currently-spoken word stays bright while the rest fades; pick Paragraph if your eye prefers the rhythm of a paragraph finishing.

The read-along view and the toggle are reader-affordance features that paid AI-learning platforms tend to charge for. They ship here on the free product, on a site that asks nothing of the reader in exchange. The way the feature lands is the philosophy: meet the reader where they are, without billing for the courtesy.

What is coming

More tracks in development covering practical AI use, prompt engineering, agent design, and AI safety fundamentals. Topics, not deadlines. Each lesson is hand-written and reviewed line by line before it ships, so the curriculum grows at the pace of getting the work right.

How it is built

Lessons are hand-written and reviewed by people. The AI handles narration only, not authorship. Each lesson goes through editorial review before it ships, more than once, because AI literacy is the kind of thing that has to be right.

Audio is generated by an AI narration pipeline tuned to the editorial voice of the curriculum. The output is reviewed before publication, the same way the text is. The site is built on Astro with the Starlight documentation framework.

Open and forkable

The curriculum is licensed Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 on GitHub. Educators can adapt it. Translators can localize it. Improvements are welcome via pull request. The goal is to be a public good, not a moat. If a teacher wants to use Lesson 3 in a classroom in Mumbai, that is the point.

Free. No signup. No paywall.
