ENFIN.... !

In this video, Ludo Salen introduces a project he has been working on intensely for the past six weeks: "Le QG de l’IA" (The AI Headquarters). This new private community is the reason for his recent absence from YouTube, as he felt the need to dedicate himself entirely to its creation. The project was born from his audience's desire for a dedicated space where they could interact with other members, ask questions, and receive direct help from professionals working with Artificial Intelligence to unblock specific problems or implement new processes. The community is structured around several key pillars. One of the primary features is the "Classroom," which offers access to full training modules that are updated regularly. This includes a comprehensive "Toolbox" filled with specialized prompts for platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Additionally, there are modules focused on automation and helping users select the best AI tools for their specific business contexts. A standout feature mentioned is "The Lab." While Ludo continues to share AI experiments on his YouTube channel, "The Lab" provides members with the full technical documentation behind those experiments. This includes step-by-step procedures, specific settings, and copy-paste prompts. For example, while he recently showcased a "super agent" created with Opal on his channel, community members in the Lab receive the complete manual to replicate the setup exactly. The community operates on a clear schedule, which members can access via an internal calendar. For the month of March, the program includes a launch live session, a private "hotline" for Q&A to solve member problems, and specific training sessions on Google Anti-Gravity, n8n for beginners, and advanced techniques for Notebook LM. Other tools covered in the curriculum include Claude Code, Google AI Studio, and various automation workflows. Networking is a significant aspect of the "QG de l’IA." At the time of the video, the community already has over 300 members. The platform includes an interactive map that allows members to find and meet others in their geographic area. It also caters to various industries, including education, legal, finance, SaaS, and e-commerce, fostering collaboration and professional relationships between members in similar fields. Ludo also explains the shift in his content strategy. After three years and 500 videos, he expresses fatigue with the "YouTube algorithm game"—specifically the pressure to create clickbait titles and thumbnails and the need for high-frequency posting. By launching this community on the "Skool" platform, he aims to be closer to his audience and share content more authentically without algorithmic constraints. While he will remain active on YouTube, he plans to post less frequently to prioritize the community’s live sessions and training modules. Regarding the cost, the community is a paid subscription service. Ludo offers a "founder's price" of $29 per month (roughly €26), which is locked in for life for those who join before a specific Tuesday deadline. After this period, the price is set to increase to $39, then $49 by the end of March, continuing to rise as the library of content grows. An annual subscription is also available for $290, effectively giving members two months for free. Upon joining, members are greeted by Ludo and his colleague Guillaume. Newcomers are directed to a "Start Here" module that explains the community rules, how to track progress, and how to effectively use the calendar and request assistance. The ultimate goal of the "QG de l’IA" is to provide members with the keys to capitalize on the opportunities generated by Artificial Intelligence through a mix of community support, expert training, and actionable resources.
