AskIt was built by one person in Montréal who got tired of watching the people around them feel left behind by a technology that was changing everything.
The founder story
I watched my mum try to understand what everyone kept calling "the most important technology of our generation." She's a smart person. She just couldn't find anything that explained it for her, instead of for people who already knew what a language model was.
I watched colleagues nod along in meetings about AI strategy while quietly having no idea what any of it actually meant in practice. I watched a friend — a brilliant person, a small business owner — turn down a tool that could have saved her ten hours a week because nobody had taken the time to just show her how it worked.
So I built AskIt. One person, one city, one strong conviction: non-technical people deserve better AI education. Not a watered-down version. The real thing, taught properly.
I'm not a big company. I don't have a marketing budget or a VC. I have a laptop, a deep belief that this matters, and a commitment to keeping every lesson honest, practical, and genuinely useful for the people who need it most.

What makes AskIt different
Most AI education is built for developers, or is so simplified it's basically useless. We chose a different path.
