Whether you're an individual contributor attempting to showcase the depths of your experience or a VP attempting to effectively talk about your leadership experience, you have to be intentional about how you tell stories for impact. Most leaders struggle with this because they confuse "high level" or "strategic" storytelling for seniority. Watch this quick video for 3 key methods for demonstrating seniority throughout your interview process.

Stop relearning AI every month. In 3 weeks, master the mechanics and systems that make AI output reliable, high-trust, and portable -- across ChatGPT, Claude Code, CLI agents, and whatever comes next.Most people are "AI literate" (they can ask for things). This bootcamp makes you AI fluent. You'll be able to reliably steer, debug, and compound results, even as tools change.The course centers around 3 pillars: 1. Gain a foundational understanding of how LLMs and agents work that will keep you ahead of the game moving forward. It's durable literacy. 2. Build an AI operating system around your particular personality and workflow that will make using AI low-friction, high-trust, and high-impact across tools. 3. Develop an initial set of habits to help you build muscle over time, because it's your reflexive ability to reach for and use AI that will make this all matter.If you already use AI but any of these feel true, this course is for you:• Your results are inconsistent – sometimes gold, sometimes garbage• You can't get an AI agent to do what others can, but you can’t diagnose why• You spend too much time rewriting and re-prompting• You keep trying new tools, but nothing compounds

Gain foundational understanding and build your personal AI operating system.

Think beyond the model, get into the scaffold and context.

Not “better prompts” -- instead, better mechanics.

DRIVE, DIFF, your personal AI repo, and more.

Adopt an agent-forward framework to get the best of what AI has to offer.

Instead of being left behind, you'll get and stay ahead of the AI curve

Your personal AI tech stack and operating system.

• you want a PDF of “50 magic prompts”
• you’re not curious about how AI actually works
• you already live inside arXiv 

This course is NOT for you if...

This course is made for you. We'll mostly stay outside of coding tools, except guided projects where they'll be useful even in your context.

If you are non-technical...

... but you still want a foundational understanding of how LLMs and agents work, you'll enjoy this course (a lot)!

If you're already good at using AI...

This is for ambitious professionals who already use AI weekly (or daily), and want reliability and leverage.

That includes founders, operators, product leaders, PMs, engineers, analysts, designers, finance, and GTM leaders.

No technical experience required. This is primarily aimed at non-technical individuals, though engineers also love this course.

Bring your team from AI curious to AI native to AI future-proofed.

Look, I'm going to be real with you: people on your team are probably intimidated by AI, worried about how they're being measured, and using it at a fraction of its potential.That's because you're mostly asking them to play a game of catch up -- to adopt new tools "ASAP" and to keep up with the rest of the industry, without the proper training and resources to do it well.And you're probably worried that you aren't getting them up to speed as fast as they deserve/need.When you try to fix this, you're probably over-relying on one vendor tool or trying to get your most advanced team member to upskill everybody else. We know how that goes.I've coached dozens of founders + leaders on organizational AI adoption, as well as hundreds of individual contributors on top 1% AI use.Here's what actually works: building a collaborative team rhythm of (1) higher-order judgement and learning through (2) hands-on experimentation and systemic AI use.In this 1-day workshop, we'll bypass anything tool-specific or that'll be outdated by the next model update -- and evolve the operating rhythm for you and your team to get and stay ahead in this new era of work. No more AI theater. Just real capability.

C-suite, VPs, and Directors looking to uplevel their team's adoption and future-forward approach to AI.

Across functional areas -- strategies that work whether you're in engineering, product, design, marketing, or ops.

How AI Finds Your Product: Generative SEO, Debunked & Real

Founder & CEO @ Free Agency, AI Product Leader & Investor

What's real, what's fake, and how does it all work: generative search, retrieval, and recommendation.

How LLMs actually search, retrieve, and recommend products

Half the "GEO" advice out there is recycled SEO dressed up in AI language. We'll separate signal from snake oil.

What actually works – and what the grifters are overselling

Building an agent lane: content, citation density, authority signals, a11y, agent site maps, AI friendly copy, etc.

Tactical moves to increase your product's AI discoverability

APIs, CLIs, MCPs, Oh My! A PM's Guide to Agent Interfaces

APIs, CLIs, and MCPs aren't *actually* interchangeable. Let's discuss the definitions and nuances.

How does each paradigm work under the hood?

We'll dissect a product with an API, a CLI, and MCP support – showing how each layer serves different users and agents.

Walk through a real product that ships all three

Whether you're shipping a product or using AI agents day-to-day, you need a mental model for what's worth your time.

Which interfaces to build, which to use, and which to ignore

Build Your Product for AI Agents: 2026's New Customer

2026's new customer isn't always a person. What do AI agents in the wild mean for your product or business?

AI agents are browsing, clicking, and converting

Best practices for ensuring that AI agents like your product, recommend it, and use it well.

How to make your product agent-friendly (without a rewrite)

APIs → structured extraction → browser automation → agentic browsers. What breaks where, and why.
