People Like You, 28 Days Later.
4.8 average · from learner reviews
“Started the program knowing almost nothing about AI. 28 days later I have a daily routine, a prompt library I use at work, and actual confidence talking about AI in meetings.”
“The progress tracking is brutal in the best way: streak, missions done, skills unlocked. You can't lie to yourself about whether you're actually learning.”
“I used to copy prompts from random threads and hope for the best. Now I write my own and they work on the first try. That alone was worth it.”
Fair Questions, Straight Answers.
What is the Rift AI Academy?
A gamified 28-day program inside the Rift app that teaches practical AI skills through daily bite-size missions. It works like the best language apps · streaks, XP, hearts on quizzes · but every lesson is about using AI at work and in life.
Do I need any AI or technical background?
No. The program starts from zero and stays in plain language. A short quiz reads how you like to learn and shapes the plan around it, so day 1 fits whether you've never opened ChatGPT or already use it weekly.
How much time does it take?
About 10 to 15 minutes a day. One mission unlocks each day for 28 days · the rhythm is the point, and missing a day won't break your progress thanks to streak freezes.
What happens if I miss a day?
A monthly streak freeze covers you automatically, so one busy day doesn't erase your run. Your lesson progress is always saved · you pick up exactly where you left off.
What do I get at the end?
A certificate of completion with your name on it, ready to share on LinkedIn or your résumé · plus the prompt library and AI workflows you built along the way, which are the part you'll actually use every week.
Which AI tools does the program cover?
The working core of the modern toolkit: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, Perplexity, automation tools like Zapier, and the AI features inside everyday software like Excel and Notion.
How much does it cost, and can I cancel?
The quiz and your plan preview are free. The full Academy is part of a Rift subscription · you'll see current plans and any trial offer before paying anything, and you can cancel anytime from your account settings.
Day 1 Is a Two-Minute Quiz.
Day 28 is a certificate and a set of AI workflows you use without thinking. The only hard part is starting · so we made that the easy part.
