How can we help?
Answers to the questions we hear most. If yours is not here, write to support@ai-phd.com or see Contact.
Paying and refunds
What do I pay, and how often?
$97 once, in US dollars, on the day you buy. The $97 founding price ends on Nov 28, 2026. From Nov 29, 2026 the price is $497. If you buy at $97, you never pay the difference. One charge. No subscription, nothing renews. Every course, now and every one we add, for as long as AI PhD runs. Full refund within 30 days, in one click.
Is this a subscription?
No. Nothing renews, there is no next charge, and there is nothing to cancel.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. A full refund for any reason within 30 days of buying: press Refund on the refunds page, with no form and no questions. Your access ends when the refund goes through. A refund also cancels the record of any course you finished, and its public page then says Revoked. After day 30 the payment is final, and you keep everything.
What does lifetime access mean?
Access for as long as AI PhD runs, with no end date and no later fee. It is never measured in your lifetime. Every course we add is included.
What are the 100 points for?
Your purchase comes with 100 points. They buy extras: template packs, extra live practice and prompt libraries. Points never buy a course, because every course is already yours.
Who teaches the lessons?
Sol, an AI, teaches every lesson. It says so when you first meet it, and the label beside its name says so on every message. It never pretends to be a person. Every course and every lesson is written by us.
Do I need to know anything first, or own an AI tool?
No. AI for Beginners starts from zero, and practice happens on the site. If you already use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or Claude Code, lessons fit it.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes: watch the recorded lesson on the home page. It is a real lesson, start to finish. Live lessons with Sol start once you buy.
Lessons and your AI
Do I need to use a certain AI?
No. On your first visit you pick the AI you use, or say you do not use one yet, and every lesson fits that choice.
Can I see a lesson first?
Yes. The free demo on the home page is a recording of a real lesson, start to finish. Nothing live runs before you pay.
Is AI PhD a university?
No. Not a university. Not accredited. It is a library of practical AI courses, every one made by us.
