Start Your AI Agency Reviews 111

Jonny is the man! He’s always in a good mood and it’s contagious. You can tell that he genuinely cares about the people that he works with. He’s helped me a lot. I appreciate you Jonny!

I was apprehensive and not sure how to get involved with AI, Start your AI agency made it very easy to follow.

A special thanks to Jonny for the support and encouragement.

I was sceptical before joining, as a small number of 1 star reviews (but I saw they weren't from people who had actually joined) and if you want to put in some work and actually build a business, having been involved with other programs you would be mad to join anything else currently imo (including even AI programs, which when I explored cost more / same and were for a more 'techccy' developer focused person and didn't have quite as much support, especially the amount of personal mentoring and guidance.

I haven't been asked for a review. I've written good and bad reviews on here. AI consulting is a HUGE opportunity. Small and Medium sized companies (ones I've focused on in first month's as easy wins and still 3k min a month and then hope to land a big fish in time) need help, there aren't anywhere near enough AI consultants to cope with demand and it is only going to grow, so I knew before and know now, that I have got into the right space. The training is VERY specific and directional to do what is needed to set up and to get clients and a range of solutions taught that businesses need and saves them money...it becomes a no brainer. There are multiple extra training calls every week but the amount of support I got from having a mentor (they call it a Client Success Coach) has been just incredible.

You could with 18-24 months and trial and error build a business in AI consulting without this investment but I wouldn't have known where to start personally and would have wasted so much time and money. Just follow what is clearly laid out and then take it as far as you want, as businesses need AI consultants. Don't go into this if you are looking for a totally passive income or to get rich quick. I have spent about 3 hours a day and the first client came (no cold calling which was good for me) after a month, flowed great from there and doing full time now. They teach you how to outsource all the client delivery at low cost. I have struggled a bit with time difference and comms at times with my outsourcers but ironed that out, as I knew what I was doing more and managed things better. You are not short of help and support from people actually doing it themselves...including Greg and team.

So in summary. Highly recommend if you want to start a real business in a huge growth market. You don't need to be techccy....you need to put in some work and follow exactly what is laid out and proven to work. The guys genuinely care, know what they are doing, clearly do it themselves and you have all the support you need. Also, I've joined programs in the past where out of the woodwork comes 'the next expense...then the next', I've not had that. I invested to start a real business and make a return (took 2 months to profit), it has taken effort and learning but been brilliant and not looked back and without wanting to be 'cheesy' has genuinely changed my life/direction. Hope this helps some people. If it feels right for you, Go For it!

This has been the most incredible journey for me with the guidance of Jonny Guthrie who has played a pivotal role as a mentor since I started with SYAA.
His energy, passion and belief in your success is what truly makes him exceptional at what he does.
I never thought I would be starting an AI business in the later years of my life, but this just goes to show anything is possible with the right support; and Jonny is proof of that!
He is always there whenever you need advice, and has the knack of leaving you buzzing with positivity after every conversation.
The whole team in SYAA are committed to making sure you have all the resources and opportunities to be successful; and if you have Jonny as your mentor, you will not fail, as this isn’t an option and he is right on your back with ideas!!
He’s also an awesome Glaswegian with a very generous heart!
I cannot recommend this course highly enough as it has been a total game changer for me!

Working with Jonny has been fantastic! when you have doubts and questions he’s happy to dig further and guide you to a strong decision you’ve thought through, he pushes you and encourages in the right way as a mentor should do. After two months I’m exited to dive in further and smash it :)

To be honest, startyouaiagency will change your life. Once you sign up for it, you get access to incredible Sales and Technical experts, as well as an amazing community with which you grow and see results with. Jonny is a powerhouse of a person, the mentor that really pushes you forward and won’t give up on you until you succeed. That’s what’s what a mentor is all about

This course has been monumental to me, education aside the community and my client success manager Jonny especially has been an absolute game changer. This is more than just educational course, its a transformation course, the support is unreal and the value it all brings make results and success inevitable. It isn’t easy as this forces you to grow as a person but it has been totally worth it by all measures.

Being someone who aspires high and maybe lacked the confidence, I decided to join Start your AI agency and I haven’t looked back, I’m building real skills through the training course and the mentorship of Jonny Guthrie, as well as the huge confidence boost to show it really is this simple to sell solutions to businesses. I highly recommend this to people who want to make a difference in their life and need that helping hand.

Since starting with Start Your Ai Agency. I have learned a lot and am very excited on moving forward in the coming months. Jonny is a great mentor to have always uplifting and educational with everything he says. I am glad I came upon Start Your Ai Agency.

I’ve been involved with several organizations that make promises that you can make money…and fallen flat on my face. SYAA is NOT like that. The course study is amazingly detailed and easy to follow. What really stands out is the support system that SYAA has. Day or night you can reach out to the management team or any one of the other people that are taking the course along with you. Jonny Guthrie has a way of building your confidence that differs from any other person I’ve ever encountered when trying a new venture. Aaron and Pat are a wealth of information and experts in their field, so having them in my corner is beyond comforting. I cannot say enough good things about SYAA, the structure, the support and the community is absolutely amazing. If you’re looking to start your own business it’s definitely worth it!

I was looking for an opportunity to challenge myself out of my comfort zone and decided to join “start your AI agency” and it’s been the best decision for me. The coaching and mentoring from Jonny has built my confidence to understand what AI can actually do.

Joining Start Your AI Agency is the best decision I've ever made! I first heard of SYAA from a video advert, and I will admit, I was skeptical at first, because it all sounded too good to be true. However, I decided to take a leap of faith and I have no regrets whatsoever.

This course gives you ALL of the tools and support you need to succeed. You don't have to be the smartest. You don't have to be a tech-genius, or an AI expert. All you need to have is commitment, discipline and a can-do attitude. By joining this course you are literally half-way there to making a 6 figure agency - all you have to do from there is follow the course and put in the work. This course literally holds your hand through the whole journey to success.

This course doesn't just offer the tools, and then leave you high and dry to get on with it. There is an entire community of like-minded people, who are always very encouraging and supportive. You are also given your very own personal coach! Jonny is an amazing and truly inspirational mentor to me. Despite how busy he is, he's always there to help me whenever I'm in need.

If you are considering joining this course, then I would assume you are either trying to chase a dream (financial freedom), escape your current situation (perhaps your 9-5), or both. If this is you, then I would highly recommend you stop waiting, and start taking action. As long as you are willing to put in the work and follow the course, you are destined for success.

This is a highly recommended course. It is very well structured with world class content; all backed up by first rate coaching from Jonny (and team).

What stands out most about this training is how clear and practical everything is. The group support is brilliant thanks team

I watched presentation "video" and waited, waited when the BIG secret will be revealed. After 10 min I thought to skip some video minutes and see what is in the middle of presentation, but it was impossible to do. My suspicion started to rise. The cold face reading script (you can do it using HeyGen AI - I have subscription) about everything and specifically nothing using some cheap tricks like wealthy image from Dubai and script supporting easy life style. Then I decided to check Trustpilot reviews. All positives are only 5*, no 3* or 4*. Few negatives complain that it is a way to block review by company if text has some personalities, etc (but it can also be blocked by TrustPilot if you don't follow their Guidelines for Reviewers). They were able to change review content to be presented. So, I added all points from above observation and no doubt for me - it is a scam. It includes all important parts mentioned above in order to attract people to their scheme. It is too sweet to be true. This is a good guideline/template how to distinguish genuine attempt to help/advise from attempt to exploit desire to have easy life without intense learning and work.

The most valuable tool which is provided from purchasing this course isn’t even the material itself!

It’s the one on one coaching on a weekly basis, the collaboration calls, and even industry specific training from experts in multiple different fields.

Jonny is my mentor, and he isn’t afraid to hold me accountable and ensure that I’m constantly on the right path for where I want to take my business.

Therefore, I strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to start their own AI agency with benefits that are simply not available anywhere else!!!

Many thanks,
Kieran

What I love about this course is that the team & community really have your back. Whether it’s a question or helping out with client calls Jonny and the community are always here on stand by.

Can’t thank everyone enough!

I made a review originally, but decided to remove it and re-write it so that I could give more detail. This company removes any negative reviews from people they've genuinely been in contact with, knowing that there is no way to provide evidence of this to Trustpilot. This review with complete details was flagged by StartYourAIAgency for the fact it contained personally-identifiable information, which I will be removing in this review.

In theory, without a reason to flag this review, and now that both StartYourAIAgency and Trustpilot have been provided with objective evidence that I am within my rights to post a review, this review should remain.

For the avoidance of any doubt, I can say I received 2 emails from this company both from a representative of this company; the first asking if I'd be interested in her selling a "high-ticket AI solution" to me without the need for technical background (28-Apr 17:12), the second followed-up on this saying "We don't show everyone how to do this" as if the video isn't free and publicly available (30-Apr, 12:46). As a follow-up, another representative got in contact for me to provide evidence of this first contact that they initiated - so now this company has the evidence of their own lies.

The reason I go into so much detail is because I joined my company, with my email being created only one week earlier. One of the first emails in my inbox amongst a wealth of corporate account setup emails (which are standard process) are these emails from the representative that contacted me from this AI company. My email had been automatically submitted to the third parties managing the corporate systems for my employer, and had not been manually entered anywhere on the internet. The lie that this company states of "We only contact people who give us their details" is unashamedly false, and they just shotgun-scatter emails in the hopes someone buys their product. Why would her original email explain what the company does, if I'm the one that supposedly supplied my contact details? The email I received was the first engagement of any kind between myself and this company.

The accounts leaving 5 star reviews all leave reviews on tech start-ups leveraging free training followed by a paid tier (practically a pyramid scheme). The video on the home page isn't even a video, but a button disguised as a video to build web traffic. The testimonials with people saying how they got their first paycheck are clearly reading a script. The lavish lifestyle of earning so much money to live and work in Dubai is immediately contradicted by the testimonials of the owner sitting in subsequent videos on the ground floor of a house in Britain. The video "set in Dubai" is predatory suggesting that a 9-5 is a broken life, and that this training will give you a "second chance at life". Their LinkedIn dried up and hasn't posted anything for months. If you do enough digging to find the owner of the company's LinkedIn (again, not posting any personally-identifiable information that isn't publicly accessible, and therefore does not breach privacy conditions), you can find videos of them talking about how much money they've made, clearly in front of a green screen with artefacts around their hair when they move. This company is shamelessly plugging a lie, and are relying on people unable to see how obvious it is.

None of the above is ethical. It is a scamming tactic to part poor people from their money, suggesting that the lives of potential customers are without purpose or wealth, with only vague statements disguised as promises of earning money. It has all the hallmarks of a company made quickly, building a short-term appearance of a genuine company, cold-calling potential customers (and then lying about it not being cold-calling), and then doing nothing once the money has come in. The owners will pivot to a different company, with a different guise, and do it all over again.

I have a genuine interaction with this company, and am therefore entitled to review it. I have the evidence of this interaction, instigated by the company. These images will be hosted on Imgur and available as individual files.

Completely unethical, and the facilitators should be ashamed.

The 7 Pillars of Architecting with AI
Reviewer: Dr Mike Lee
Date:15th August 2025

In an ever increasing and changing economy where at the forefront of technology is AI. There needs to be mentors that can mentor by servant leadership and lead the way in the global economic transform that has horizontal and vertical scope of AI. AI will reach the market value of $368 billion and is the revolution of our century. AI enhances the work space we work in and empowing the manual effort through automating the business processes that need continued expertise to operate. It removes problem areas that weaken productivity, and continues to promote ethical and moral work ethics. Central to this is a set of "The 7 architectual pillars of AI ", one of which is Servant Leadership, I present Johnathan G, whose wealth of expertise and experience is doing just that leading the way by serving through this mentorship program. He will mentor you no matter what back ground, or profession you are from. There is no time like the present to be mentored by Johnathan on AI in this time that is liken to the greatest gold rush. You will be well grounded in these pillars for your dreams to unfold and to serve your space in this world by Servant Leadership of AI.

1. Scalability, 2 Operational, 3. Reliable, 4. Profitable, 5. Manageable 6. Securable 7. Well Led.

Honestly, this program has been a game changer for me. The content is really clear and breaks everything down + the collab calls have been massive for me too, you can actually get real answers to your questions, which makes a huge difference.

Jonny in particular has been amazing. He’s pushed me to keep going when I doubted myself and helped me shape my ideas into something that actually works.

Because of that, I landed my first client in just 4 weeks of joining and have this client on a 3k monthly retainer. Couldn’t be happier, if you’re on the fence about joining, go for it.
