Build an AI Agent operating system that embed your expertise
Vicky Zhao
ex-Google/LEK, AI x PKM + frameworks
Your expertise is the edge.
Build the AI system that works at the level of your judgment.
If you can't articulate your judgment, you can't delegate it. Not to a person. Not to an AI.
That's why the output keeps coming back average. You already use LLMs. What you don't have yet is a system to get your judgment into the machine.
Most AI courses make you faster at producing work you then have to fix. Getting output good enough to put your name on is where everyone stalls. It isn't about which button to press. It takes real thinking and the right frameworks to pull your expertise out of your head and into a system AI Agents (like Claude Code and Codex) can use.
That's what we build together in 3-week: an AI Agent operating system that holds your standards, so the output defaults to your bar, not the internet's. (I'll demo with Claude Code!)
Not prompts. Not hacks. You'll build a foundational system that is repeatable and frees your hours for the thinking only you can do.
You'll leave with 1 agentic system and 3 workflows, built on your actual work.
The goal isn't to make you technical. It's to make AI Agents like Claude Code useful at the level of your expertise. AI as your wings, not your crutch.
What you’ll learn
Most AI advice says “let AI do the work.” We focus on the right work, with your judgment, so expertise compounds. 3 weeks. 3 real workflows.
Stop floating in possibilities. Build a mental map. Choose one real workflow and make Claude Code useful on it.
Choose a judgment-heavy workflow. Turn your expertise, standards, taste, and decision criteria into files and skills Claude Code can use.
Choose a repeatable workflow. Promote yourself from doer to reviewer: turn it into a routine, verification loop, app, or tool to build on.

Helping non-technical leaders build framework-powered AI operating system
Who this course is for
AI-forward leaders. You use LLMs, but agentic workflows feel new. You want a guided, non-engineer on-ramp into building with AI agents.
Domain experts and deep thinkers. Your judgment is still stuck in your head, so the AI output you get isn't good enough to use.
The operator, manager, or consultant. You manage too much busywork. You want workflows that free up time for strategic work only you can do.

Testimonials
A week ago, I wouldn’t touch the Claude Code button. Today I’m code-curious: eager to try, fail, and learn. What changed wasn’t my technical skill. It was finally getting my own expertise out of my head. In change management, facilitation, leadership development, and coaching, our magic touch is often felt but not explicit. Vicky’s framework helped me articulate what I actually do, see, and notice. Then Claude Code gave that expertise a place to live and compound through skills, md files, and routines. AI now frees me to do what I love most: be fully present with clients, while Claude Code helps with notes, organizing, and synthesis. You don’t need to be technical. You need to be curious and willing to let your expertise become something playful, meaningful, and yours.
Yvonne Yam
Change Facilitator and Executive CoachI went in with high expectations for CCW, and it honestly exceeded them. Before this, Claude Code felt like a black box; now it feels like a real thought partner. The turning point was Vicky’s framework for exploring problems laterally and going deeper than the initial problem statement. The mix of pre-recorded sessions, daily nudges, live discussions, and community made the experience genuinely joyous. I now use Claude Code to build PowerPoint slides and visuals that reflect my taste and standards from 15 years in finance and tech. More importantly, it helps me go deeper on insights I normally would not have had time to think through. Go in with a beginner’s mindset. Don’t just learn CC mechanics. Treat it as upgrading your brain’s software. Big shift: I think in outcomes now, not inputs.

Director, Corporate TechnologyVicky demystifies AI. Information about AI piles up and overwhelms me. Where do you start? Who do you follow? Who do you learn from? True to her philosophy, Vicky distills it to the essentials. Before this cohort, I used AI like Google search. Learning the Claude Code fundamentals changed everything. I was able to start a foundation that helped put everything else into place. I was unable to attend all the sessions. Still, my knowledge exploded. While the cohort uses Claude, the core knowledge and skills transfer to another AI tool. I haven’t finished the course yet, but I’m learning so much. If you use AI daily but don’t truly understand it, take this course. Good stuff!

Stop redoing AI output until it finally sounds like you.
When your judgment lives in the system, you'll see:
Work comes back close enough that you're editing, not rewriting
You hand Claude Code a task on Monday and the Friday version still sounds like you
The project you kept deferring because it was tedious gets done in the background
A colleague asks how you turned that around so fast
None of this is about doing more with AI. It's about the machine finally working at the level of your standard.
