Build Agents For Superproductivity [Founders & Operators]

5.0 (6)

Akhil Raj Gupta

Founder at Luminary (ex Airbnb)

Run your work with a fleet of AI agents.

You've tried the AI productivity stack: chatbots, meeting summaries, a skill or two. It saved you 20 minutes a day, then became impossible to manage and didn't look anything like what the LinkedIn demos promised.

This isn't because AI agents aren't capable enough. It's because nobody has built you the system to harness them correctly.

We'll change that in four weeks, all the way from foundations to crafting multiple AI agents that produce high-quality output you can rely on.

We promise this is the last AI course you'll ever buy.

Here's exactly what you'll build:

A team of agents on your own machine that work autonomously but always respect your specific permission and trust boundaries.
Your second brain: carefully constructed context and memory systems so that your agents know you and never forget what matters.
Custom tools and skills that let you interact with and scrape any website, parse any file, do complex research and analysis in the way that you want it, not AI slop.
Stunning dashboards and mini apps built with no code (daily CEO briefs, business scorecards, competitive trackers, stock researchers and more).
First principles understanding of agentic AI so you know what's real vs hype

What you’ll learn

Take on what used to be impossible, then teach your team how to do it too.

Agents = LLM + harness: Understand the big shift in AI, and how agents actually work
Pick your harness: Claude Code (CLI) vs Claude Cowork (Desktop), and how to decide
Optimize it: project and user instructions, model selection, permissions and session hygiene

The context window, sources of context, and how to avoid context rot
Memory: types of agent memory, session threads, auto-saved memory
Connect your everyday apps and build thread docs your agent reads and updates. Project: build your second brain

Tools: where they come from, MCP under the hood, web scraping and browser automation
Artifacts: turn agent output into pages, dashboards and docs you can share
Skills: anatomy of a skill, where to find them, and building your own. Project: build your own mission control dashboard

Scheduled tasks and routines: work that runs on a clock, not on you
Subagents in parallel, each with fresh context, on one piece of the job
Best practices and the AI-native operator's toolkit. Project: build a stock analyst agent with a team of researcher subagents

Testimonials

It's been hugely useful. By the end of the week I was spending most of my time at work on Claude. The course made me understand the different parts, what you need to get right, and how to get to the answer — and when things go wrong, I know why. It's opened the door to operating in a very different way.

Partner, EY London
It's been amazing. Concepts like subagents, context rot, connectors like Firecrawl and compacting are extremely useful — it's really helped me understand and be more familiar with AI and agentic AI. Loved the discourse in the cohort as well.
Dhruv Gupta
Partner, BCG X
Akhil has done a wonderful job of explaining the basic fundamentals of how Generative AI works, and then taking us through the journey of practical application of the concepts through do-along sessions. What began with a simple chat with Claude, ultimately allowed me to orchestrate multiple agents at the same time. Highly recommended to make best use of generative AI not just to be more efficient, but to actually build things that are tech based.
Rituraj Chaturmohta
Sr Country Manager, Uber
Had a fantastic experience. Akhil was extremely proactive and his ability to translate complex concepts into actionable steps is incredible. Loved the detailed readings and especially the 1:1 sessions focused on my specific workflows.
Prateek Chauhan
Principal, Strategy&
Honestly, you've done a fantastic job. The last two sessions were particularly great because we got hands-on. You've exposed me to the art of the possible — now it's on us to keep building on it. You went way above and beyond, Akhil!
Sharat Shankar
Ex-CRO, Corpay (S&P 500)
Great foundational course for anyone figuring out how to use AI to streamline everyday tasks and work smarter, with a lot of practical use cases. Sessions were quite interactive and insightful. Definitely helped me understand the fundamentals of AI better and more importantly, how to actually get better and more useful outputs from it. Highly recommended!
