There is no shortage of people talking about AI right now. Finding the ones who are actually worth listening to is a different challenge altogether.
This isn't a definitive list. It's a personal one - the people whose content I find myself returning to, whose perspectives have shaped how I think about building with AI and what's possible as an entrepreneur. Some are deep in the tools, some are deep in the business side. All of them are worth your time.

Try Relavo FreeI'm featuring these two together because they co-host Stacked - a podcast that is genuinely worth your time. But both are exceptional in their own right.
Nick Saraev is an automation expert with 300K+ YouTube subscribers who pivoted from a path in medicine to build a series of successful digital businesses. He is meticulous, articulate and one of the clearest thinkers on AI automation out there. His n8n content in particular is some of the best available anywhere.
Jack Roberts is a Top 100 UK entrepreneur, founder of Glaido and someone who has built an audience of over a million people learning AI on YouTube. His content sits at the intersection of vibe coding, automation and building real businesses - and he's deeply hands-on with tools like Claude Code and Antigravity.
Follow both. Then go and listen to Stacked.
2. Liam Ottley
Liam Ottley has built one of the most respected communities in the AI automation space with over 700K YouTube subscribers. He focuses on building and scaling AI SaaS businesses and AI automation agencies - and he documents the journey in a way that's practical rather than performative.
If you're thinking about turning your AI skills into a business rather than just using AI in your existing one, Liam's channel is the place to start.
3. Arlan Hamilton
Arlan Hamilton is a different kind of name on this list - and that's exactly why she's here.
She built Backstage Capital, a venture capital firm dedicated to investing in underrepresented founders, from the ground up while experiencing homelessness. She has now invested in over 200 startups. Her story alone is worth knowing. But what makes her especially relevant right now is that she is actively building with AI - specifically on Lovable - and sharing that journey publicly. She has run Lovable challenges and documented her building process in a way that is genuinely accessible and inspiring for non-technical founders.
Her YouTube channel, Your First Million, covers entrepreneurship, wealth building and navigating the AI opportunity as someone who has consistently been underestimated. It is one of the most honest and human voices in this space.
4. Sabrina Ramonov
Sabrina Ramonov has over 1.4 million followers across platforms and is one of the most recognised AI educators building right now. She studied Computer Science and Physics at UC Berkeley and co-founded an NLP startup that was acquired for over $10 million - so her tutorials come with real technical depth, but she delivers them in a way that anyone can follow.
Her focus is on AI prompts, agent systems and automation workflows for solopreneurs and business owners. If you want to get better at working with AI - not just using it, but actually getting results from it - Sabrina's content is some of the most practical available.
5. Nate Herk
Nate Herk might be the fastest growing AI creator on YouTube right now. He went from zero to 230K subscribers in nine months after posting his first video in September 2024. Before that he was a Business Intelligence Analyst at Goldman Sachs with no coding background whatsoever.
That background is what makes his tutorials so good. He teaches automation the way he learned it - step by step, no assumptions, no skipped steps. He now has over 550K subscribers and a global community of 275K members. His speciality is n8n and building AI systems that handle real business processes without writing a line of code.
If you are just starting out with AI automation, Nate is your person.
The AI space moves fast. The best way to stay ahead of it is to learn from people who are actually in it. If you want to build alongside a community doing exactly that, come and join us at Vibe Coding Lab.
