# Welcome to AI Step-by-Step
Getting started with AI is surpisingly simple and can begin completely free. These lab guides provide hands-on learning paths for those who want to build their own AI environments from the ground up, whith options that scale affordably: start with completely free tools and resources, progress to intermediate setups, or advance to professiona-grade environments that you can directly apply to real world use cases as your skills and needs grow.
These labs are community-driven and constantly evolving. Spot an improvement or catch an error? We'd love your contribution via Pull Request, or just reach out to the repository contributors.
