Questions
Short answers about booking, pricing and membership. Can’t find yours? Email us.
Booking
When can I book?
We’re opening in Boston first. Request access and we’ll email you when your place is ready.
Where do sessions take place?
On Valedictor, in your browser. If you both agree, the session is recorded and you each get a transcript and a short summary.
What if a session doesn’t happen?
Your payment is held until the session takes place. If the member cancels or doesn’t show up, you get a full refund.
What are group classes?
Small live classes, usually 8 to 10 people, run by one member on a set day and time. You pay per seat. They’re a cheaper way to learn things like AI basics or prompting with others.
Pricing
How much does a session cost?
Each member sets their own prices, and the price on the listing is everything you pay. There’s no booking fee, card fee or subscription. The member gets 75% and Valedictor keeps 25%, or 80% and 20% if the member is on Plus. Each booking shows you the exact split.
What is Plus?
A monthly plan for members. On Plus you keep 80% of every booking instead of 75%, appear higher in search, can run paid group classes, get your own booking link, and are paid out the next day with a dashboard of your bookings. We’ll announce the price before launch.
Members
Who can be a member?
Students, alumni and faculty of top institutions, plus people formally affiliated with them. We start with Harvard, MIT and Babson.
How do you check members?
Every member is verified with their institution before their first booking, for example through their institution email. We also read each application ourselves.
Is Valedictor part of Harvard, MIT or Babson?
No. Institution names show where members study, teach or graduated. Valedictor isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
AI
Can someone help me set up Claude or other AI tools?
Yes. Members can install and set up tools like Claude Code with you on your own laptop, build custom skills and agents, or teach you to use ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini on your real work.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Most AI sessions and both classes are for people who don’t code. For Claude Code or building an app, the member types alongside you and explains each step.
What do I need for a session or class?
A laptop, and the work you want help with: your inbox, a project folder, a paper, a spreadsheet. We use your real work so you leave with something that already runs.
Which AI tools do members work with?
Each member lists their own, usually Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and Gemini, plus automation tools for agents. Ask in your request if you need a specific one.
