Course overview

You've heard about Automations, AI and Agents, but you don't know where to start

You want to build things. But you’re not a developer.


- You know there’s a smarter way to handle daily tasks and challenges — but you’re not sure where to start.

- You’re full of ideas for apps, automations, or digital products—but you don’t have the time to learn to code or the budget to hire someone to build it for you.

- You’re tired of watching tutorials that never lead to a working product.

- You’ve played with ChatGPT and no-code tools, but don’t know how to connect it all.

- You know automation and AI could save you hours, but it feels like magic only others can do.


This course is for creative professionals, freelancers, and curious doers who want to take control of their workflows and build real solutions using no-code, automation, and AI.


You’ll walk away with your own live apps, automations that save you time, and the mindset of a Happy Operator: someone who solves problems with tech calmly, creatively, and without overwhelm.
