Build Agents For Superproductivity [Founders & Operators]
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 and a skill or two. It ran well for a bit and maybe even saved 20 minutes a day, but then hallucinated too much, became impossible to manage, and was downright incapable relative to what the demos and influencers told you AI could do.
This course teaches you how to design those systems. By week four, you will understand how to give your agents the right context, instructions, guardrails, and tools to deliver better work than 99% of humans. Imagine having an agent do your accounts, analyze leads, write brand copy, build software, run ads, and almost any other task that you can do. This is all possible and is being done today by those at the bleeding edge of AI. And you can do it too.
We practice what we preach: the Luminary platform runs on this exact system — our software, design, marketing, compliance and finance are handled end to end by agents. We are a one person company that was stood up in 45 days with real revenue and paying customers.
What you’ll learn
Take on what used to be impossible, then teach your team how to do it too.
Agents = LLM + harness; learn the difference between the two. It matters.
Why most AI innovation is happening at the harness level — and why that's a good thing
Live walkthrough - Setting up an agent in Claude Code + review of how Luminary runs
Context Engineering - the art and science of telling agents only what they need to know
Balancing detail and density to prevent context rot & stuffing
Leverage external sources via MCP and connectors — plus a hands-on exercise: building a second brain
Build memory that never loses what matters: a living status per project that agents read before working, update after — and self-heal when it drifts
Extend with skills that automate complex workflows, and provision tools to do real work outside just the chat window
You leave with: a system that knows your work, does real things in the real world, and needs less of you each week
Design agent teams: a lead agent that plans and delegates to sub-agents, each owning one piece of the work
Build multi-step workflows that carry a task from first pass to finished output, pausing at predefined checkpoints
Build in evals and approval gates: agents check the output, you approve anything that matters — money, outbound messages, anything public

Who this course is for
Founders — Scale your business without headcount — where to deploy agents, and how to build the infrastructure for an AI-native org.
GMs & Team Leaders — Build a delegation system you control: hybrid teams of humans and agents, and how to drive change in a large org.
AI Consultants — You advise on AI — run it first. A practice that runs on agents advises from evidence, and clients tell the difference.
