Albert Shiney – The 1% in AI

The 1% in AI is Albert Shiney’s broad curriculum for building an AI agency around acquisition, delivery and automation. It brings together technical tools, marketing channels, freelancing and sales, with an emphasis on how those parts can work as one operating system.

Rather than focusing on a single channel, the program covers the systems used to bring clients in, onboard them and carry out recurring work. The downloadable materials include videos, documents, PDFs and spreadsheets.

What The 1% in AI covers

The program spans the tools and activities involved in running an AI-focused service business. Its technical topics include Claude Code automation, GoHighLevel builds, vibe coding and AI agents. These sit alongside a systems layer intended to connect the work rather than treat each subject in isolation.

For client acquisition, the curriculum covers cold email outbound, organic content and paid advertising. It also addresses Upwork freelancing and sales conversations, giving the program a commercial focus as well as an automation focus.

Scaling is part of the outline too. The course places sales and AI agents within a wider plan for organizing and growing an agency, rather than presenting them solely as standalone skills.

The AI Agency Systems layer

AI Agency Systems is the connecting idea in the curriculum: acquisition, delivery and automation are arranged as a single operating loop. That means considering how a client moves from the initial acquisition process into onboarding and follow-up, and how repetitive build work fits into delivery.

GoHighLevel features in the setup of templated client onboarding and follow-up. Claude Code is covered for taking repetitive build tasks off the operator’s plate, while AI agents are part of the approach to carrying out follow-up.

The agency topics are paired with instruction on packaging freelance work into a repeatable service offer. This gives freelancers moving away from hourly work a way to consider delivery as a defined service, alongside the sales conversations and systems needed to support it.

A broad agency curriculum

The 1% in AI covers several disciplines within one program: outreach and content, advertising, coding, sales, freelancing and automation. Its breadth puts each subject in the context of the other work an agency performs, from attracting clients to delivering a service.

The curriculum is relevant to someone who already sells a service and wants to connect the systems around it, as well as a freelancer developing a packaged offer. Its materials are provided in video, document, PDF and spreadsheet formats.
