Who is this course for?

People who repeat the same task every week and want to hand that work to an agent, without handing away the decision that matters.

You will connect tools and check the result. You do not need to be an engineer to start.

How is this different from Build Autonomous AI Agents?

This is the first agent, on one job you already do. The autonomous course is the next step: an agent that acts across more than one step.

What do I leave with?

An agent on a real task, the recordings, and a certificate of completion. Subscriptions are not included.

Do you guarantee a job after a cohort?

No. We publish dates, prices, refund terms and consented stories. Placement and income claims are not part of this academy.

What time zone are live sessions in?

Source zone is America/Toronto unless a cohort says otherwise. Session times always name that zone. Convert in your own calendar from the ICS on the cohort card.

Can I join a waitlist if a cohort is full?

Yes. Waitlist captures name, email and optional phone. It does not take payment. Seats that free up are offered in join order.

How does early-bird pricing work?

If a cohort has an early-bird price and the cut-off has not passed (server date at payment), checkout charges the early-bird amount. The cart may still show list price until quote.

What is the refund window?

Full refund before the published cut-off relative to the cohort start; after that the published bands on the Refund page apply. Checkout requires you to accept that policy.

Build Your First AI Agent

There is a task you do every week, and you are tired of giving it your best hours. This course helps you hand that work to an agent, and keep a person where a mistake would hurt. You leave with something that runs for you, and a line it will not cross.

An agent that does everything is a demo. An agent that does one job you already hate is useful. This course is for operators, delivery leads, owners, and anyone with a repeated task. You do not need to be a developer. You do need the real job. You limit the agent to that job. You connect only the tools it actually needs. You put a person in the path where a wrong step would cost you. The instructor will not clap for a demo that does nothing on Monday. By the end you can say how much time you saved in a real week. You leave with a one-page plan, a sheet for that time, and a certificate. Four live weeks. Dates and the fee are on this page.
