You're doing the work of someone with a chief of staff: inbox triage, meeting prep, follow-through, and a dozen other things that used to be someone else's job, except there's no one else.
Prompts and productivity hacks help for a day, then you're rebuilding context from scratch every morning. Agents can finally do the actual coordination work, not just draft text, and most courses haven't caught up.
This course teaches you to build an actual system: a memory layer that remembers your work without re-explaining it every session, agents that read from it consistently, and explicit rules for what your AI can see and touch.
You'll leave with a working daily briefing, a meeting-prep and follow-through system, calendar protection, and three growth builds: a relationship-finding agent, a goal-tracking dashboard, and a market-watch feed. Live, not theoretical, built on your own inbox and calendar across four sessions.
Taught by a product leader who has shipped work reaching millions at BBC and Newsela, and an AI-governance strategist with a cybersecurity background, so the trust and access questions get real answers, not an afterthought.
Build the memory, agents, and guardrails that let you operate like you finally have your own chief of staff.
Stop automating random tasks
Map the work you repeat every week, identify where the information lives, determine what AI should handle
Create a written specification for the systems worth building
Connect your email, calendar, and docs into one base layer that stays current on its own
Build the context layer every agent you create afterward reads from
Set a 24-hour sweep so nothing goes stale between sessions
Start each day already knowing what happened overnight and what needs a decision
Walk into every call, internal or external, with history pulled automatically
Track commitments and follow-through so nothing slips between meetings
Run a real time audit and protect focus blocks instead of guessing where your week went
Track your goals in one dashboard pulled from what you already built
Recommend improvements to reach your goals
Build a prospecting leads generator tool, activated from your professional network
Set up a standing market feed and research agent
Scope exactly what your AI can see and touch, read-only first, write access only when earned
Monthly permission reviews and a clear offboarding step, not a black box
