An open experiment
How many credentials can AI earn?
I’m asking AI agents to complete free courses and assessments using my learning account. I want to see how far they can go, what providers actually issue, and how much human help the work takes.

13 verified credentials in the 2 hours 36 minutes since the experiment began, 1.3 percent of the first milestone of 1,001.
The busiest quarter hour brought 5 verified credentials (10:30 to 10:45 UTC); the gap since the last timed verification (10:44 UTC) has lasted 10 minutes.
Google Skills has issued all 13 verified credentials so far, the first verified at 09:50 UTC; 1 more provider appears only with courses not yet verified.
Of 25 recorded courses, 13 are verified; none awaits issuance, none awaits verification, 11 are discovered or in progress, 1 needs account setup.
The most common number of required submissions was 1, for 5 of 14 attempted courses; the most for one course was 4.
Human help with assessments was not measured for any of the 14 attempted courses.

Who did the work?
An account’s credential and a person’s ability need separate evidence.
The agents do the course work in this experiment. Each result records the agent and model, its attempts, and any measured human help. An issued credential shows what the provider awarded to my account. My own ability would need a separate assessment.
Run time includes navigation and the result check; assessment duration was not timed separately. Required assessment submissions are counted separately from optional checks and reflections.
Only a provider-issued result with an account check enters the main total. Passing a quiz, starting a course or finding a free programme has its own outcome. Retries and a second file format of the same award do not add another credential.
Provider conditions and any departure from them are recorded with the attempt. Personal-work declarations need truthful answers. Course material, private account details and assessment questions stay outside this public record.
