What you'll learn

Identify automation opportunities

You'll learn to recognize which tasks in your workflow are repetitive, multi-step, and ripe for an AI agent to handle.

Understand how AI agents work in Claude

You'll grasp the core mechanics of how Claude reasons, uses tools, connects to your apps, and takes action autonomously.

Build a simple AI agent

Walk away having built a real agent during the session using Claude's Cowork mode.

Why this topic matters

AI agents don't just chat — they act. They book, research, draft, analyze, and execute multi-step tasks autonomously. In 60 minutes, you'll understand how they work, see them in action, and learn to spot the workflows in your own role that you can automate starting tomorrow. This is the skill gap that separates people leading the change and being caught by it.

Max Del Vita

CEO of Symplehost.ai, Claude Community Ambassador for Singapore

Max Del Vita is CEO of Symplehost.ai and a Claude Community Ambassador for Singapore — not a theorist, but a builder who ships AI-powered systems that run real businesses.

He built Bubblegum Insurance to $5M and spent years building products at the intersection of fintech and consumer tech at companies like EF Education and Zinier. The one thing he kept seeing was how much operational drag kills great businesses — not bad products or bad founders, just too much manual work that shouldn't exist.

Today, he builds AI operating systems for industries like vacation rentals, turning weeks of manual coordination into automated workflows.

Max is based in Singapore and teaches professionals how to go from casual AI user to automation builder.
