Knights College doesn't ban AI or pretend it doesn't exist — it actively teaches students how to use it well. The school has spent 18 months developing policies and tools, including an AI tutor that handles around 70% of content delivery.

The Knights College model is built around a simple but radical premise: the best classroom is the workplace. Morgan describes a tripartite agreement — signed by the student, the college, and the employer — that formalises what would otherwise be informal work experience. Students spend approximately four days per week at their employer's premises, solving real problems alongside real colleagues, and one day in formal academic study where they apply and contextualise what they have seen. The Socratic method drives classroom interaction: instead of delivering answers, tutors ask questions that force students to construct understanding for themselves. Morgan explains that this approach produces graduates who can handle ambiguity, think critically, and communicate across professional contexts — skills that traditional academic programmes rarely develop. The segment is vivid with examples of students presenting solutions to employer challenges and even launching their own businesses during their studies.
Knights College's AI tutor handles approximately 70% of learning delivery, freeing classroom time for applied projects and critical thinking.
Knights College's work-based learning model has students spend roughly four days per week with an employer and one day in formal academic study.
Knights College embeds students in real workplaces four days a week through a tripartite agreement signed by the student, the college, and the employer. Students solve real problems at work and apply theory in class — not the other way around.
Knights College formalises work-based learning through a tripartite agreement signed by the college, the student, and the employer.
Knights College is built for the student who felt overlooked, labelled, or written off. Morgan argues that when a student who was told they were 'done' walks through the door and finds they can succeed, something fundamental shifts in how they see themselves.
For the first 12 years, Knights College offered no masters-level qualifications, starting only with diplomas and building up carefully.
Knights College launched with 8 students, none of whom could pay upfront. Morgan chose to proceed anyway, learning through early regulatory battles and financial pressure what it meant to build an institution around mission rather than money.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
