Your First AI Agent: Set It Up and Put It to Work
Patricia Cangas
Founder of Pixel Parenting, educator
From your first chat to AI that works for your business
This course works whether you have never used AI or you already chat with it every week. We start with the basics: what these tools are, how to talk to them, and what to check in what they give you back. If you already use it, this part goes quickly and fills in the gaps.
Then we go past chatting and set it up for your business: it learns about your business, your writing and visual styles, and we create the rules you want it to follow. Each week is about one common business task, with real examples: email, documents and presentations, and marketing like newsletters and posts. Once you see how it works on these, you will be able to spot other ways to use it in your own business.
Every Tuesday I share my screen and show you how. Then you and I meet one to one, on your screen, and set it up on your own business, at your pace.
Live on Zoom, Tuesdays 12:00 to 1:30 pm PT (3:00 pm ET): Nov 10, Nov 17, Dec 1 and Dec 8, plus a final clinic on Friday Dec 11. Every session is recorded, but you get much more out of it when you join live and ask your questions as we go.
What you’ll learn
Whether you are new to AI or already chat with it, leave with it doing real tasks from your week, set up with me in your own accounts.
What AI is, how to talk to it, and what to check in its answers, starting from the basics
Tell it once about your business, your writing style and your visual style, so you stop repeating yourself

Three tasks set up with me in your own accounts, on a schedule if they repeat
Your privacy rules: what goes in, what never does, and which apps it can reach
Your playbook: what you hand off next, what you keep, and a 30-day plan
