A few weeks ago, I paid $3,000 for an AI mentorship program by Ritesh Verma. He runs a YouTube channel and a website called BecomeABotDeveloper, which promises to teach people how to build and sell AI agents.

This is what the headline on the landing page said:

“Make $5,000/month in 6 weeks building AI agents. Guaranteed income or your money back.”

It sounded very convincing at the time. We had a video call, and I decided to join.

What the program was actually about

The course mainly covered:

• Basic Puppeteer scripting for web scraping
• Some automation using n8n
• A bit of Reddit outreach strategy
• A short LinkedIn Sales Navigator video
• Mentions of tools like Apollo for cold emailing

I found the technical content very basic — I’ve honestly seen better tutorials on YouTube for free. It felt more like a beginner-friendly automation overview, not an advanced mentorship on building or selling AI agents.

Why I felt disappointed

Personally, the program did not meet my expectations. It was promoted as a business-building mentorship with a clear income promise, but what I got was surface-level automation content and vague outreach tips.

There was a refund policy: if I stayed active for 4 weeks and didn’t get a project, I’d get my money back. I followed the rules, but received only a vague message about a “project” with no details. Eventually, after saying I might share my experience, I was refunded $1,200 — but I’m still down $1,800.

If you’re reading this while researching Ritesh Verma or BecomeABotDeveloper, I hope this post gives you more context than just the marketing material.
