Learn with Dorell

AI & automation cohorts — build real systems, not toy demos

Overview

Learn with Dorell started from a simple idea: share what I’m learning, not to become a guru, but to create a space where we can build together.

After years of organizing tech communities — JavaScript Cebu, React Cebu, Laravel Cebu — I wanted to go beyond meetups. I wanted to help people actually ship things.

The AI Automation Cohort

The flagship program is a 4-week live cohort designed for builders who want to automate faster, free up time, and turn ideas into working systems.

What you build:

  • Personal automation systems for repetitive workflow tasks
  • AI integration workflows connecting ChatGPT to your existing tools
  • Data processing pipelines that handle information automatically

Format:

  • 4 weeks of live online sessions
  • Limited to 12 participants for real attention
  • Direct access throughout — not a course you watch alone

Why This Exists

I’ve seen too many people:

  • Watch tutorials but never build anything real
  • Get stuck because no one answers their questions
  • Give up because the learning path feels overwhelming

This cohort is the opposite. Small group. Real projects. We build together.

Tools We Use

  • n8n — visual workflow automation
  • ChatGPT / AI APIs — for intelligent processing
  • Your existing tools — we connect what you already use

Current Status

First cohort completed. Waitlist open for future runs.

The goal is simple: help more people become builders, not just watchers.

Project Journey

The updates and progress for Learn with Dorell, in chronological order.

Planning the next Learn with Dorell cohort. The goal: help beginners build real systems step by step, not just follow tutorials. Small groups, real projects, honest feedback.
