From Claude user to Claude builder in 5 weeks
🙌 1st cohort: Use "FOUNDER" promo code to save 25%, shape the course, and attend again for free in 2026.
You're using Claude for one-off tasks while others build AI systems that scale expertise, automate operations, and ship products. Your workflows stay ad-hoc. Ideas stay trapped waiting on engineering. Skills and knowledge locked in your head can't compound. You can't lead AI initiatives without hands-on credibility.
In 5 weeks, you'll build:
✅ Foundation: Configure your builder stack and design systematic workflows
✅ Agent Skills: Build Claude skills that execute your expertise on demand
✅ Collaborative Workflows: Build workflows where Claude works WITH you
✅ Autonomous Workflows: Build multi-agent systems and browser automations that run workflows independently
✅ Applications: Build and ship a web app prototype using agentic coding—no engineering required
✅ Productivity: Apply Cowork on tasks to accelerate impact
I've trained 5K+ leaders at UC Berkeley and spent a decade at Microsoft. My Hands-on Agentic AI course is rated 4.8/5 by students. You get intimate cohorts, 1:1 coaching, and lifetime access. We build together—not lectures.
The agentic era rewards builders. Become one.
