AAA Accelerator Review
AAA Accelerator is Liam Ottley's coached programme for building an AI implementation agency, sold by AAA Accelerator Limited through a 45-minute strategy call rather than a checkout. As of 2026-08-13 the seller publishes a seven-stage syllabus (~15 hours of core video), unlimited 1:1 coaching with role specialists, a success manager and a community it sizes at 4,000+ members, and holds a 4.7 Trustpilot score across 545 reviews — whose 3% one-star tail, read in full on 2026-08-13, alleges high-pressure closing and a refund promised only verbally. The price is never stated as a number: the FAQ says "Mid-4-figures with payment plans (50/50 split, 3-installment, deposit-to-lock)", and the one outside figure — $5,000–$7,150 — comes second-hand from student testimonials via Ippei's review. No refund policy appears on any of the seven seller pages checked; the published guarantee extends access rather than returning money.

AI Automation Agency Hub Review
AI Automation Agency Hub is Liam Ottley's free Skool community at skool.com/learn-ai, built around the “AI Automation Agency (AAA)” model he is credited with popularising. On 13 August 2026 it shows 332,149 members, 80,613 posts, 8 admins and — by Skool's own counters — 13 courses and 157 modules, all behind a free but manually approved join. It costs nothing and no card is requested; the caveats are that outcomes are evidenced only by three first-name results lines on the seller's page, that the founder's self-reported revenue on this same page rose from $5M+ to $18M+ between May 2025 and July 2026 with no published support, and that the paid AAA Accelerator this ecosystem leads to is a separate product at a separate domain whose price is not stated here.

AI Automation for Small Businesses Review
AI Automation for Small Businesses is a $147 white-label (PLR) workshop kit from Content Sparks — the buyer licenses editable done-for-you materials and teaches or sells the course under their own brand, rather than being taught by Content Sparks. The seller itemises what ships: a 3,957-word, 25-page student guide, an 18-page workbook, a 12-page summary cheat sheet, a 39-slide deck in pptx and Canva, an AI tool evaluation checklist, a three-tab implementation spreadsheet, five follow-up emails, opt-in page copy and ten social posts, delivered as .docx, .pptx and .xls. Checked 2026-08-13 it is live at $147.00 with an in-stock JSON-LD offer; the same page sold at a $57 launch price in November 2024 and carried a seven-day money-back guarantee then that it no longer shows.

AI Guy Academy Review
AI Guy Academy (branded "AI Guy Academy 2.0" on Skool) is Egor Roslov's faceless-YouTube membership: $49/month or $297/year for a library Skool's own counters put at 9 courses and 206 modules, a 409-member community and monthly live Q&A calls with the creator. The yearly tier adds the Outsourced Empire and Elite Series programs plus a "1 Monetized Channel Guarantee". Separately, the seller's own aiguyacademy.com advertised lifetime access for $497 on the same day, describing the Academy as "NOT a monthly subscription" — but checked 2026-08-13, the only two links in that page's markup are its "get lifetime access now" buttons, both pointing at the Skool group's About tab — so no $497 checkout is exposed anywhere on it and the click lands on the $49/month join button instead.
Before you buy
What to check in this category
These are the checks our research applies to every course on this page. They are method, not claims about any named course — each review shows what we actually found.
- 01Ask which automation stack is taught and price the tiers it needs. A workflow demonstrated on a free Make or n8n plan bills very differently once it runs for a paying client every day.
- 02Split the runtime between building automations and finding clients. Most of this category is an agency-sales course with an automation demo attached, which is a different purchase.
- 03Check whether the revenue on the sales page is the instructor's own agency or a student's. In a niche this young, founder numbers are an early-mover result rather than evidence the syllabus reproduces them.
