Learn to build powerful AI automations without writing code. Connect ChatGPT and Claude to Make and Zapier, automate email responses, schedule social media content, process data through AI pipelines, and build multi-step workflows using real-world templates.
You do not need to be a developer to put AI on autopilot. This free course teaches you to build AI automations with Make and Zapier, the two most popular no-code automation platforms, so repetitive tasks run themselves. You'll connect ChatGPT and Claude to your workflows and build automations that draft email responses, schedule social media content, process data through AI pipelines, and chain multiple steps together, all without writing code.
This is a focused, practical course built around real templates rather than theory. You'll set up Make and Zapier, learn how to connect AI through their building blocks, and walk through working examples you can copy and adapt to your own needs the same day. Because it is short and hands-on, you can finish quickly and immediately put an automation to work, then build more once you see how the pieces fit together.
It is a great fit for small business owners, marketers, freelancers, and students who want to save time on routine work without hiring a developer. Like every FreeAcademy course, it is 100% free with no signup required to start, and finishing the lessons and final exam earns you a certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume. By the end you'll be able to design and launch your own multi-step AI automations with confidence.
