# Towards AI

> The AI deployment and education firm, turning AI from a tool people experiment with into a capability teams rely on.

Towards AI is the AI deployment and education firm. Since 2019 it has taught 500,000+ AI practitioners, and its mission is turning AI from a tool people experiment with into a capability teams rely on. The company believes AI initiatives fail when organisations lack the skills, education, and deployment capability to realise value, so it trains teams while it builds.

On the education side, Towards AI Academy runs self-paced, project-based courses that take developers and professionals from Python fundamentals to production AI engineering, agents, and no-code AI for work, with 10,000+ engineers enrolled. The team wrote the O'Reilly-distributed book Building LLMs for Production, with 10,000+ copies sold. A weekly newsletter reaches 200,000+ subscribers, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and the community spans 100,000+ members.

On the deployment side, Towards AI Deployment builds custom AI systems inside enterprises, funds, and private equity portfolios, tied to measurable business outcomes rather than strategy decks. Enterprise programmes convert the developers a company already employs into AI engineering capability, delivered by a team of 15+ AI engineers grown from its own community, with strategists and leaders from Palantir, BCG, UBS, J.P. Morgan, Aurelius Growth Capital, and MILA.
