Question 1

What is AI Upgrades?

Accepted Answer

AI Upgrades is a video-first learning platform and mentorship marketplace.

Approved mentors can also create and sell their own courses.

Question 2

How is AI Upgrades different from Udemy or Coursera?

Accepted Answer

AI Upgrades pairs world-class video courses with real mentorship - live sessions, feedback, and direct access to experts who actually ship. Every completed course produces a verifiable certificate and feeds a public portfolio you can share with employers, so your learning translates into proof.

Question 3

Do I need an account to browse courses?

Accepted Answer

No. The full course catalog, curriculum outlines, ratings, and reviews are public - browse freely with no account. You only need to sign in to play videos (including free previews) and to enroll.

Question 4

Is AI Upgrades free to use?

Creating an account is free, and there are plenty of free courses to start learning right away. Paid courses are one-time purchases - no subscriptions. You only pay for the specific courses you want.

Question 5

Can I preview a course before I buy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mentors mark certain lessons as free previews (intros, curriculum walkthroughs, and more). After signing in with a free account you can play any preview lesson. Paid lessons unlock the moment you enroll.

Question 6

How does video learning work?

Courses are delivered as streaming video lessons with automatic progress tracking, so you always pick up where you left off. Lessons are organized into sections and may include quizzes, assignments, downloadable resources, and live sessions.

Yes. Many courses include quizzes to check your understanding and hands-on assignments you submit for feedback or grading. These help you learn by doing - not just watching.

Question 8

What are live sessions?

Accepted Answer

Mentors can schedule live sessions over Zoom or Google Meet. Enrolled learners see the schedule, get reminders, and can join with one click. Recordings are often made available afterward so you never miss out.

Question 9

Refunds are handled per our refund policy and processed back through PhonePe. If you believe a course was misrepresented or you hit a technical issue, reach out to support and our team will review your request.

Question 14

Accepted Answer

Complete at least 85% of a course (the default completion threshold) to automatically earn a PDF certificate. Some courses may set their own threshold, shown on the course page.

Question 15

Are the certificates verifiable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every certificate has a unique serial and a public verification link (and QR code). Anyone can open the verify page to confirm the learner, course, issuer, and issue date - no account required.

Question 16

What is a public portfolio?

Accepted Answer

Your portfolio is a shareable public profile showing your completed courses, certificates, and skills. You control whether it is public, and you can feature or hide individual items. It is a simple way to prove your skills to employers.

Question 17

Can employers verify my certificate?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Each certificate links to a public verification page that confirms its authenticity and current status (issued or revoked). Share the link or the QR code and anyone can verify it in seconds.

Question 18

How do I become a mentor?

Accepted Answer

Any signed-in learner can apply to become a mentor from the Become a Mentor page. A super-admin reviews your application, expertise, and sample work. Once approved, you unlock a mentor dashboard to create and sell courses.

Question 19

How much do mentors earn?
