Build your own AI agent in 1 day. Skip 6 months of trial & error.

AI is moving fast. For most non-technical professionals, it feels:

  • Overwhelming. Where do you even start?

  • Noisy. Every week there's a new tool, a new tutorial, a new "best prompt ever"

  • Time-consuming to figure out alone

  • Frustrating. You know Claude should be saving you hours. But it still doesn't quite get you.

We've spent 1,000+ hours learning (and failing) in Claude so you don't have to. We've built and shipped software used by millions, and we've sat on both sides of the table: technical and non-technical. We built our own AI-native operating system from scratch. This workshop is the shortcut we wish we had.

In one day, you'll learn more than most people piece together over MONTHS of trial and error.

By the end of this workshop, you will have:

A working AI agent crafted for your specific role and workflows
Your own CLAUDE.md and context files — the "brain" that makes Claude actually know you
A custom skill built for your needs
Connected tools or MCPs so your agent can act
Frameworks and mental models to keep building on your own

This is a hands-on build session, with instructors live in the room. not a passive webinar. We keep cohorts small and intimate. Spots are limited.

  • 1:00PM EDT

    Give Your Agent a Brain: Context Files & Folders

  • 2:45PM EDT

    Connect Claude to Apps & Tools You Already Use

    Connect Claude to MCPs: email, calendar, Notion, Slack, and more. Your agent can now read, act, and report — not just generate text. Set up your own Daily Briefing before this module ends.
