Grown several tech companies from 0 to 8 figures I Paid Social Growth Marketer I I deconstruct paid marketing so you can level up.

After 5 years in sales, I moved to marketing.

Frankly, I love it. I learned marketing by starting 2 startups and side hustles. 

Then, I found my Ikagai: Growth Marketing. I became Head of Growth at Userpilot (Grew it to 7-figures and beyond). And then, I moved to become an advisor.

Now, I have grown several tech/SaaS companies from 0 to 8 figures. Currently, I lead paid social and growth initiatives at 3 different D2C tech companies.

Hi, I’m Khizer.

TL;DR:
I help you stay ahead of AI and show you how to actually use it at work.
I’m Head of Marketing at Superhuman AI, the world’s biggest AI newsletter, where I took the newsletter from 150k to 1M+ readers.
On LinkedIn, I share AI tools, tutorials, and real-world use cases to help you work smarter.

Longer version (for the curious ones):
I’m the Head of Marketing at Superhuman AI, the largest AI newsletter on the internet. When I joined, we had 150,000 readers, now we’re at over 1 million and still growing.

My mission is simple: help you stay ahead in AI.

Every week, I share:
→ Practical AI tools & how to use them
→ AI tutorials & workflow breakdowns
→ Real use cases for professionals
→ Tips on automating tasks & making better decisions with AI

Beyond Superhuman, I’ve scaled multiple newsletters across different niches, from personal growth to SaaS, with subscriber bases ranging from 500K to over 2M.

I’ve spent $10M+ running paid ads (mostly Meta) across media, eCommerce, and lead gen, and I specialize in newsletter growth.

If you’re building a newsletter, or want to work smarter with AI, not just read about it, you’ll like what I share.

And if you’re a brand looking to get in front of thousands of people actively exploring AI, I also collaborate. Hit me up.

Head of Paid Acquisition

Helping grow the world's biggest AI newsletter through Paid Ads.

Learning and building AI agents isn’t rocket science.

Here’s a roadmap that breaks it all down into 3 easy levels:

Before we begin, get exclusive access to our “How to Build AI Agents” guide created by my engineering team after building 60+ AI agents here:

https://lnkd.in/dpzAbvBh

Level 1: GenAI & RAG Basics:

1- GenAI Introduction: Get familiar with what Generative AI is and where it’s used.

2- Basics of LLMs: Understand how large language models are trained & used.

3- Prompt Engineering: Learn to write effective prompts for better LLM results.

4- LLM Parameters: Control outputs with temperature, top-p, and token settings.

5- Data Preprocessing: Clean, chunk, and format data for AI tasks.

6- RAG Fundamentals: Combine LLMs with search to retrieve accurate info.

7- Vector Databases: Store & search embeddings using Pinecone, Chroma, etc.

8- API Wrappers: Interact with LLMs using LangChain, LlamaIndex, or direct APIs.

9- Tool Integration: Let LLMs call tools like search, code, or APIs.

Level 2: AI Agent Essentials:

10- What Are AI Agents?: Learn how agents plan, reason, and act autonomously.

11- Agentic Frameworks: Explore LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and more.

12- Build Your First Agent: Create a simple AI agent that performs real tasks.

13- Agent Workflows: Design how agents think, act, and complete tasks.

14- Agent Memory: Add memory so agents can recall past actions.

15- Agent Evaluation: Track agent accuracy, performance, and reliability.

16- Multi-Step Reasoning: Teach agents to think in logical sequences.

17- Multi-Agent Systems: Enable agents to work together on complex tasks.

18- Agentic RAG: Use RAG in an autonomous agent setup.

19- Action Planning: Make agents plan, adapt, and retry intelligently.

20- Safety & Guardrails: Add filters to keep agents safe and factual.

Level 3: Advanced Agent Skills:

21- Real-World Integration: Connect agents to tools like Slack, Notion, or Gmail.

22- Autonomous Loops: Create agents that run and update tasks on their own.

23- Custom Toolkits: Equip agents with APIs or Python tools.

24- Optimize Performance: Improve speed, cost, and error handling.

25- Deploy to Production: Host your AI agent for real users to access.

The next wave of solo developers will not need large teams or big budgets.

I put together every resource you need to go from curious about Claude Code to actually shipping with it.

This Includes:
> 4 comprehensive courses 
> 7 battle-tested GitHub repos 
> 6 YouTube tutorials from builders actually using it 
> 6 creators worth following 
> 6 newsletters to stay sharp

This isn't theory. It's the exact stack people are using to build real products right now.

The gap between "I've heard of Claude Code" and "I ship with Claude Code" is about 2 weeks of focused learning.

Most won't put in the work.
That's your edge.

Comment 'Claude Code' and I will send you the guide.

The internet spent 2 years mastering prompt engineering. I skipped all of it. I speak. My Mac does the rest.

No typing. No switching tabs. No ChatGPT.

Just one button, and your entire OS starts working for you.

This is what voice-to-action looks like:
→ Draft emails, Slack messages, docs and slides, all with a single voice command. The average knowledge worker spends 3 hours a day typing. Lemon kills that.

→ It sees what you see, active spreadsheets, code, open drafts. Lemon understands your screen and executes with perfect accuracy.

→ It works inside every app you already use, Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, WhatsApp, Teams, Calendar. It doesn't tell you how to do something. It actually does it for you.

→ It summarizes, researches, and builds, hand it a long doc and it pulls the key insights. Ask it to research a topic and it drops the findings straight into your Google Doc.

→ It eliminates context switching, the average worker switches tabs 1,100 times a day. Lemon collapses your entire workflow into one voice command.

→ It replies to emails 11x faster, no crafting, no back-and-forth. Say what you need, it handles the rest in seconds.

We are moving from "How do I do this?"
To just saying: "Do this."
