Why this topic matters

AI agents are the biggest productivity unlock since the smartphone — and most people are still copy-pasting into ChatGPT. Professionals who build agents now will work in a fundamentally different way, automating entire workflows and compounding their output.

Rea Ara

11+ Years Senior Product Lead at MAANG | Agentic AI Founder & Coach

I'm Rea — founder of a stealth AI security startup, conducting research with NYU on agentic AI, with 11 years across Google DeepMind, Accenture London, and Deloitte Toronto.

I've spent over a decade inside the systems that power enterprise AI — and the past two years obsessively studying where agentic AI is headed and how to actually build with it. I've coached hundreds of founders and engineers on Leland, published ML research, and run workshops for hundreds of professionals on building their first AI agents.

I teach because most courses give you theory. I give you a working agent by the end of the session — built around your actual workflow, your actual problems.
