Hear it from Dean Graziosi
Dean recorded a short message about why he and Tony chose StormWind. If you want the partnership in his words, start here.
“We vetted a lot of companies to help us sell and impact businesses, and that’s when we found StormWind. After a ton of research, after tons of calls, and a ton of meeting, we found a company right in our backyard.”
Dean Graziosi
In the same video, Dean describes StormWind as a top U.S. business training company that has helped more than 50,000 businesses over 15 years. He names the combination behind the program as Igor Pogany on AI education, Tony Robbins, himself, and StormWind.
Is the AI Advantage bootcamp legit?
Yes. It is a real program, delivered by a real training company. Here is the detail behind that, because “trust us” is not an answer.
Who actually teaches the sessions?
Raymond Lacoste, a StormWind senior instructor, leads all six live builds. Dean Graziosi opens session 1 on readiness and change. Tony Robbins and Dean partnered with StormWind on the program. They do not co-teach every session, and you should not enroll expecting them to. If you want a live instructor-led build with a StormWind senior instructor, that is exactly what this is.
Is StormWind the same company as AI Advantage?
No, and this is the most common mix-up. AI Advantage is Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi’s brand and community, often shortened to AIA by members. StormWind Studios is a separate training company and the delivery partner for this bootcamp. StormWind’s program is named AI Accelerator, not AI Advantage. StormWind is not rebranding as AIA, and AIA is not a StormWind product line.
What do reviews say?
StormWind has trained IT and business teams for years, and you can find public company information and customer feedback online. AI Accelerator itself is new from this partnership, so reviews of the bootcamp specifically are still limited. Reviews of StormWind’s live-instruction model are not.
What does the AI Advantage bootcamp cost?
This cohort is sold by quote, not a self-serve checkout price on the page. Request a seat (or seats for a team) at bootcamp.stormwindstudios.com and StormWind will follow up with options.
What if I am already in the AI Advantage community?
You are in the right place, and nothing about your AI Advantage membership changes. The bootcamp is the training program StormWind delivers as part of the partnership. Your community access and membership remain with AI Advantage.
Who is StormWind Studios?
StormWind Studios is an instructor-led training company for IT and business teams, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are best known for live classes, certification prep, hands-on labs, and enterprise reporting for the managers who buy training for their teams.
Teams come to us for Cisco, Microsoft, AWS, cybersecurity, project management, and business skills training, and now for applied AI at work. The format in AI Accelerator is the format StormWind has always used: a senior instructor, a real schedule, live sessions, and time to practice while your questions are still fresh. You can read more about StormWind or see how our live learning model works.
What is the AI Accelerator bootcamp?
AI Accelerator is the program that came out of this partnership. Its full title is AI Accelerator: Learn to securely build your own personal agent.
It is a six-session live bootcamp, about 90 minutes per session, starting September 29, 2026. You finish with a personal agent built around your actual work, plus a Personalized AI Agent Playbook you keep.
The point is not another prompt library. Most companies have already bought the tools: Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude. The gap is people: where to start, what is safe to paste, and how to get real output instead of a blank chat window. That is the gap this bootcamp is built to close.
| Detail | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 6 live, instructor-led meetings |
| Length | About 90 minutes each |
| Starts | September 29, 2026 |
| Instructor | Raymond Lacoste |
| Session 1 | Dean Graziosi on readiness |
| Coding | Not required |
| Outcome | A personal agent plus a playbook you keep |
| Enroll | bootcamp.stormwindstudios.com |
What you walk out with
- A personal agent built around your role and the work that repeats.
- Security habits for what the agent can use, what it must not invent, and when a human has to decide.
- A playbook you keep, so the system survives past the last session.
Who does what in this partnership
Worth being precise about, since it is the second most common question after “is it real.”
| AI Advantage | StormWind Studios | |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Partners and community | Delivery partner |
| Brand | AI Advantage (theirs) | AI Accelerator (StormWind’s program) |
| People | Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi | Raymond Lacoste and StormWind instructors |
| What they provide | Partnership, readiness framing, session 1 | Live instruction, curriculum, enrollment, delivery |
Who the bootcamp is for
AI Accelerator is built for working professionals and the managers who buy seats for their teams:
- People who have AI tools available but still open a blank chat and close it again
- Managers who want safer AI use across a team without killing productivity
- Teams that want live instruction instead of another video library nobody finishes
It is not for you if you want a self-paced course you can binge on a weekend, or if you are a developer looking to build production multi-agent systems. This is applied, business-facing AI, taught live.
