What is The AI Edge Essentials?
The noise around AI is deafening.
We’re told it’s revolutionary, terrifying, overhyped, and essential—all at once. Most people are left wondering: What tools actually matter? How do I use them? Will I be left behind if I don’t?
Over the past several years, I’ve focused entirely on answering these questions—testing the tools, mapping the terrain, and helping professionals use AI not as a gimmick, but as a lever for clarity, productivity, and control.
The AI Edge Essentials is the result. A distilled, practical course designed to help you cut through the hype and learn exactly what to use, how to use it, and why it matters. It’s not about becoming a tech expert—it’s about staying relevant, working smarter, and gaining time and energy for what matters most.
You don’t need to master AI—just know how to use it with purpose.
What will you gain?
In under 5 hours of focused video content—delivered in short, actionable lessons—you’ll learn how to effectively use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, not just dabble with them.
You’ll build real fluency. You’ll master the fundamentals. And you’ll start applying AI to everyday work, communication, content creation, and decision-making in ways that save hours each week.
The best time to get ahead is before you’re forced to. That’s what The AI Edge Essentials is for.

How The AI Edge Essentials is making AI work for real people:
Who Built This—and Why It Matters
Hi, I’m Chris Brya—founder of SmartRoadAI.
After 25 years leading digital strategy and building AI-driven systems for companies like GoDaddy and Revlon, I noticed a troubling pattern: the people doing meaningful work were often left behind by the very tools meant to help them.
The AI Edge Essentials was built to change that. It’s a practical, outcome-focused system designed for thoughtful, capable people who want clarity, not hype.
This course isn’t about trends or tricks. It’s about giving you the tools to think with AI, work more effectively, and stay relevant in a fast-moving world without compromising your values or your time.
If that’s what you’ve been searching for, you’re in the right place.
And I’d be honored to guide you.
Smart Questions. Straight Answers.

This is not for AI hobbyists. It’s for people who want outcomes.
I know nothing about AI or ChatGPT. Can I still do this?
Yes. This course was built with beginners in mind. No prior experience is assumed. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the tools, frameworks, and workflows—even if you’ve never opened ChatGPT or heard of Claude.
I’m not tech-savvy. Will I be lost?
Not at all. If you can copy, paste, and use a search bar, you’re more than equipped. We’ve removed the jargon and complexity so you can focus on what matters—using AI effectively.
Will this add more to my plate or actually save time?
The entire purpose of this course is to simplify your work and reduce decision fatigue. Most users report saving 3–5 hours per week within the first 7 days. This isn’t theoretical—it’s built to create immediate, tangible results.

Program Content Questions
What’s included in the course?
The course includes on-demand video lessons, downloadable tools, frameworks, and guided walkthroughs. It’s structured into three parts: Core (AI foundations), Command (AI for personal productivity), and Capital (an optional module for monetizing your expertise). You’ll also get lifetime updates as tools evolve.
Do I need special software?
No. All you need is a web browser and access to tools like ChatGPT (free or paid), Claude, or Perplexity. We guide you through setup and use—no installations or subscriptions required.
Is the course only for U.S. users?
Not at all. While a few templates reference U.S.-based formats, the systems and strategies are universally applicable. This is principles-first, not region-dependent.
Can I tailor the tools to my own work?
Yes. The frameworks are designed to be flexible. Whether you’re in consulting, teaching, content creation, management, or any other field—you’ll be able to personalize everything to fit your workflow and goals.
Will AI replace what I do?
No. AI replaces repetitive tasks, not human insight or judgment. This course helps you use AI to enhance your value—not erase it.
Is the course ethical and secure?
Yes. The course includes guidance on ethical, bias-aware, and privacy-conscious use of AI tools. You’ll learn how to apply AI responsibly and intelligently, not blindly.
How long will it take to implement?
You can go at your own pace. Most people begin applying what they learn within the first session. The entire course can be completed in under 5 hours, with benefits that last far longer.
Pricing Questions
Why is the program so affordable compared to other AI courses?
We’ve seen what’s out there—overpriced courses with inflated promises and minimal return. That’s not what this is.
We created The AI Edge Essentials to be practical, accessible, and priced fairly for most people. We believe digital education should empower, not exclude—and certainly not exploit. Our goal is to deliver real-world value without financial strain, and to build long-term trust, not short-term gain.
We also believe goodwill should scale with impact. That’s why a portion of every purchase goes to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society—a cause close to our hearts.
Is this a subscription?
No. It’s a one-time payment with lifetime access. No hidden fees. No upsells. No expiration.
What if I don’t like it?
If you decide it’s not the right fit within the first 14 days, just email us. You’ll get a full refund—no questions asked.
