From Specs to Shipped: AI Agents for Non-Engineers
Brandon Guerrero
GTM Engineer | The Kiln (a 2X Company)
Learn to Build with Claude Code + Agno (and ship something real)
You already know what to build. You've written the specs, documented the
process, mapped the workflow. But turning that into working software?
That's where it stops.
This course teaches you the POC Framework—three questions that turn any
workflow into a buildable spec:
1. Process: What steps do you take to achieve the outcome?
2. Output: What does done look like? What are you aiming for?
3. Context: What knowledge does someone need to complete the job?
Answer those, and Claude Code can build it.
I'm not a programmer. But using this framework, I've shipped 19-agent systems, content engines, and full-stack apps. I was Agno's first Builder Spotlight.
In 2.5 weeks, you'll extract your own workflow, describe it precisely, and ship a working AI agent. No coding required—just the systems thinking you already have.
What you’ll learn
Go from documenting workflows to building and deploying AI agents yourself
Extract Process, Output, and Context from workflows you already do manually
Write specs that Claude Code can build from—no programming knowledge needed
Set up Claude Code, configure MCP servers, and connect external tools like Exa.ai
Use Agno's Agent, Team, and Workflow patterns to structure multi-step automations
Present your agent on Demo Day and get feedback from the cohort
Leave with deployed code, not just theory

Brandon Guerrero
GTM Engineer at The Kiln | Founder, Orchid Automation
Who this course is for
- Builder PMs who write specs that never get built—and want to ship themselves
Founder-operators doing everything manually who want to automate with AI
Ops leaders who've maxed out Zapier and Clay and need custom solutions
Prerequisites
A workflow you do manually that you want to automate (come with 1-2 ideas)
You'll use this as your project. The clearer you are on what you want to build, the faster you'll ship
Comfort with computers—no coding required, but tech-curious
You don't need to code, but you should be comfortable installing tools and following technical setup instructions
Willingness to iterate through errors
Building with AI means things break. You'll learn to debug by doing. Patience and curiosity matter more than experience
