Session 1
Agent Sandbox
Assemble an agent from blocks, run it on practice data, and see where it holds up and where it breaks. Nothing real is read, sent, or changed.

Session 2
Fix the Broken Agent
Start with a broken lead-intake agent. Find the missing parts, add them, and watch it pass. An exercise in diagnosing agent design failures.
Open Session 2 LabWhy this program
Agentic AI is something you learn by building.
You can watch hours of videos about AI agents and still not know how to build one.
Practical Agentic AI is designed differently. Each week introduces a small set of concepts and then immediately turns those concepts into working agents, workflows, experiments, and projects.
You will learn what makes an AI system agentic, how the loop actually runs, how models and inference fit in, how agents use tools, APIs, and MCP, how context, memory, and state work, how RAG gives them knowledge, and how to evaluate and improve reliability.
More importantly, you will use those concepts to build.
You won't leave with only a certificate.
You will leave with working agents, reusable blueprints, a capstone project, and a portfolio story you can show to an employer, client, customer, or collaborator.
Learn
Understand the foundations of modern Agentic AI.
Build
Create agents using real tools, APIs, workflows, and knowledge.
Ship
Turn one of your ideas into a working capstone agent.
Grow
Turn your project into proof of work and new opportunities.
Performance + opportunity
Two Ways to Use What You Learn
Improve Your Work
Automate research, reporting, knowledge search, communication, workflows, and repetitive tasks.
Create Opportunity
Build portfolio projects, automate for clients, offer AI services, or turn an agent into a product.
Build, don't just watch
What You'll Build
Throughout the course, we will build and explore practical agents that reflect real business and productivity use cases.
AI Research Analyst
Lead Qualification / Sales Agent
Company Knowledge / RAG Agent
AI Voice Receptionist
Personal Productivity / Coding Agent
Content Intelligence Agent
Your Own Capstone Agent
You will choose a real problem that matters to you and design, build, test, and demo your own agent as the final project.
You'll also receive access to 20+ Agent Blueprints that you can use as starting points for future projects.
The conceptual backbone
How Modern Agents Actually Work
This is more than a tools course. You will learn the loop that every serious agent runs, then use it to decide what to build and which tools belong in the system.

Build With Modern AI Tools
The goal of the program is not to lock you into one framework. You will learn concepts that transfer across tools while using modern platforms to build practical systems.
n8nClaude / OpenAI / GeminiClaude CodeGrok Bot / HermesVoice AgentsMCPAPIsLocal / Open Models
You'll also learn how to run local/open models and build a $0 learning stack where practical. Tools may evolve as the Agentic AI ecosystem changes. The emphasis remains on transferable skills, not one framework.
Keep building after the cohort
Build Without Expensive AI Subscriptions
Learn how to run local/open models, connect them to agent workflows, and experiment with RAG and inference using free or low-cost tools.
n8n CommunityOllamaQdrant / SupabaseLocal / Open Models
We'll use free/local options wherever practical so you can keep building after the cohort ends.
Who This Is For
Professionals & Managers
Build practical AI skills and understand where agents can improve real work.
Developers
Move beyond chat applications and learn how to build agentic systems.
Freelancers & Consultants
Develop AI solutions you can demonstrate and potentially offer to clients.
Business Owners
Explore agents for workflows, operations, customer support, research, and automation.
Students & Creators
Create proof of work instead of relying only on courses and certificates.
Solopreneurs
Turn Agentic AI ideas into internal tools, services, and AI-powered products.
Live + hands-on
How Each Session Works
This is a live builder cohort, not a collection of prerecorded lectures.
Whiteboard → Live Build → Student Exercise → Review
Explain visually
Concepts are drawn and broken down live.
Build live
Watch the agent or workflow being built and debugged in real time.
You build
Every session includes a practical exercise.
Leave with something
A workflow, diagram, template, eval sheet, or working agent — not just notes.
What You'll Leave With
- 3+ guided Agentic AI builds
- Your own working capstone agent
- A portfolio-ready case study
- 20+ reusable agent blueprints
- Hands-on experience with modern AI tools
- A practical understanding of Agentic AI architecture and concepts
- Access to the AI Builders Community
What This Course Is — and Isn't
This course is designed to make you a more capable, practical Agentic AI builder.
Six weeks will not make anyone an expert in every AI framework or every advanced agent architecture. Instead, the goal is to give you a strong foundation, repeated hands-on experience, and the confidence to continue building independently.
The goal is not framework memorization. The goal is to understand the loop and architecture well enough to build with whichever tools fit the problem.
Builder Series is where you explore. The cohort is where you build, get feedback, and ship something real.
Prefer to start lighter? The free Builder Series is the explore path.
The goal isn't to say, “I took an Agentic AI course.” The goal is to say, “Here are the agents I built.”
Refunds and access
There is no refund after the first class. Once that class has been held, the fee is not returned.
Once you are in the class, or once you have access to the class materials, you can watch the recorded sessions and use the course materials.
