✦ The problem

AI is moving fast. For most non-technical professionals, it feels…

Overwhelming

Where do you even start?

Noisy

Every week there's a new tool, a new tutorial, a new "best prompt ever."

Time-consuming

Figuring it out alone burns nights you don't have.

Frustrating

You know Claude should be saving you hours. But it still doesn't quite get you.

We've spent 1,000+ hours learning (and failing) with AIso you don't have to.

We've built and shipped software used by millions, and we've sat on both sides of the table (as technical and non-technical co-founders). We built our own AI-native operating system from scratch. This guide is the shortcut we wish we had.

In one day, you'll learn more than most people (including us!) piece together over months of trial and error.

✦ Outcomes

By the end of this guide, you will have:

✓2 working AI agents crafted for your specific role and workflows
✓Your own agent brain: CLAUDE.md and context files
✓Custom Skills built for your specific needs
✓Connected tools or MCPs so your agent can execute work for you

This is a guide where you BUILD as you learn, not a passive resource. We have two formats: video & text (with visuals). We give you starter prompts, and go step by step to walk you through building an agent!

✦ How you'll learn

Learn in various formats: video, text & visuals

We designed our guide for active learning as it increases retention by 75%. We do this by:

Having you BUILD and actually create AI agents as you read through the guide
Making the material FUN & memorable (through memes & custom visuals)
Sharing starter prompts you can easily copy & paste to Claude or Codex
Offering a mix of formats: video, text & visuals

Video lesson using a memorable visual analogy to explain MCPs — Memorable memes and visuals

Course home showing the self-paced guide modules — Videos you can watch at your own pace

Setup and Foundations lesson with text, takeaways, and video — Preview of our outline & guide

Skills lesson with copyable starter prompts and written instructions — Preview of code snippets you can easily copy & paste

✦ What you'll learn

Build your own custom AI agent & learn how to do it on your own.

Five core modules plus 1 bonus module! Each one has videos, text, visuals and starter prompts for building. By the end, you'll build not 1 but 2 AGENTS (instead of just a folder of unfinished notes!)

Module 01

What we're building & intro to agents

The architecture of an AI agent — what it does, how it works, and why this is different from ChatGPT or Claude.ai. Hands-on setup so you're ready to build.

→Agent vs. chat: when you need a system, not a prompt
→Claude Code + Cowork setup for non-technical builders
→The roadmap for the rest of the course

Module 02

Give your agent a brain

Understand context files & folders. Craft your custom CLAUDE.md, USER.md, and VOICE.md so your agent already knows you before you say a word.

→What context files & folders actually are
→Write CLAUDE.md, USER.md, and VOICE.md
→Build a folder structure that scales with you

Module 03

Build a custom skill for your workflow

Learn how skills work. Install a pre-built skill, then build your own — customized for your role. Turn a multi-step task into a single command.

→What makes a good skill vs. a bloated prompt
→Install a starter skill, then customize it
→Know when (and how) to create the next one

Module 04

Connect to apps & tools you already use

Learn about MCPs. Connect Claude to email, calendar, Notion, Slack, and more — so your agent can read, act, and report.

→What MCPs are (in plain English)
→Connect tools you already live in
→Go from text generation to real actions

Module 05

Launch your first agent (or two)

See how context files, skills, and MCPs work as one system. Build your custom agent and leave knowing how to build more yourself.

→Put the building blocks together
→Ship an agent for your real workflows
→A clear path to keep leveling up

Module 06

BONUS!

Bonus material to help you keep building after you finish the five core modules.

✦ What's included

Everything you need to build an agent on your own!

Lifetime access

Full self-paced curriculum

We converted our $499 live workshop to a discounted self-paced course so you can learn at your own time.

Build-with-me walkthroughs

Step-by-step guidance with starter prompts & video walkthroughs, so you leave with a working agent custom to your needs, not just a pile of notes.

Context file templates, skill starters & prompt examples

CLAUDE.md, USER.md, VOICE.md, skills, and folder patterns you can customize for your needs.

Engaging formats

Choose video, visuals or text formats for learning, designed for active learning (75% higher retention)

Access to instructors

Ask Mika or Nick questions about agentic AI or the course material. We'll do our best to support!

✦ Who this is for and not for

Read this before you join!

This is for you if

You're a non-technical operator who knows AI can save 10+ hours a week — and you need a fast, high-quality way to uplevel
You've been handed the AI mandate (or you're AI-curious) and don't know where to start
You already use AI, but mostly through one-off prompts and scattered workflows.
You want step-by-step builds, not another folder of tips.
You want a working agent for your role — not another passive webinar
You're ready to do the hands-on builds, not just collect tips
You want frameworks you can reuse to keep building agents on your own

This is not for you if

You want a get-rich-quick AI prompt pack
You want someone else to build every system for you
You're looking for a coding bootcamp or ML theory deep-dive
You're not willing to follow the build steps between modules
You are not willing to put in the reps.
You only want chat tips — not agents that connect to your tools
You don't have (or won't get) Claude Pro/Max + Claude Desktop to follow along

✦ FAQ

Questions before you enroll

Do I need to know how to code?

No. This is designed for non-technical founders, operators, business owners, managers and teams.

What do I need before I start?

A Claude Pro or Max subscription, and Claude Desktop downloaded (preferred) OR a ChatGPT Pro subscription with ChatGPT Work so you can follow the builds. Our workshop was designed with Claude in mind but ChatGPT should work as well.

How is this different from the live workshop?

The live workshop is a small, intimate day with Mika & Nick in the room, guiding participants through the course, with social accountability, a community of peers, and live debugging or Q&A. This is the abbreviated, self-paced version of that same curriculum so you can build on your schedule, with templates and walkthroughs included, at a fraction of the live price.

How long does it take?

Our live workshop was between 3–5 hours long, which included live Q&A and debugging. You might be able to go faster and finish as early as 2 hours.

How is this different from Mika's free AI guides?

The guides teach one tactic at a time and assume you already have some base knowledge of using AI. There is no order or structure in what to learn first, and they do not go in-depth on the foundations and meanings of certain concepts. This course assumes you want to learn the basics and foundations of agentic AI and walks you through a full build step by step, in the recommended order. It's designed to help you retain concepts 75% better through active learning and actually building.

How does it work? What happens after I enroll?

You get immediate access to the course using the email you used to sign up. You can then start going through all 5+1 modules ASAP!

P.S. If you only read one thing

Hi! It's Mika. I personally know what it feels to see & hear everyone talk about AI this or AI that & feel overwhelmed or confused how to start.

I'm non-technical myself & found all the jargon overwhelming. But, after my first company exited, I took a real break and finally had time to jump into AI. I was also lucky to have friends who knew about AI and a husband who was technical who I could ask dumb questions to.

I spent AT LEAST 6 months and 500+ hours failing with AI, and now it saves me time, makes me money and has also unlocked new creative tools! It's made building more fun and made me more time-rich.

I teach 30k+ followers on socials everything about AI and I keep hearing how overwhelmed folks are with it. We created this course to help more people out. We're so grateful it got raving reviews & we're excited to make it more accessible to more people!

We're excited to see you there :)
