Session 01
From Assistants to Agents
Your first real agent on your own machine. How to go from prompting AI to directing it.
AI FluencyCore path
From AI user to agent manager.
An agent manager runs a team of AI agents on real work. Yours know your context and plug into your tools. You leave with your own agentic system — a small team running alongside you.
Most people meet AI in one place: a chat window, one question at a time. A smarter search bar, a better first draft. The real move is different. You build a team of agents that knows your work and runs on the tools you already use. They handle the routine so you can focus on the calls only you can make. That's the shift from AI user to agent manager — categorical, not incremental.
Built for
- Professionals who've used AI casually and want to use it seriously
- Knowledge workers whose day is research, writing, analysis, or coordination
- People wanting more from AI than chat — agents, voice, connected tools
- Teams going deeper after a foundations course
Not the right fit if…
- People completely new to AI — try AI Foundations first
- Those wanting structured analytical methodology for strategic work — see AI for Leadership
- Developers already building AI apps — tool coverage will feel basic
Four Sessions
Four builds. A team of agents running alongside you by the end.
Each session adds a real piece to a system you keep — not a pile of concepts.
Session 02
An agent that knows your work
An agent tuned to your actual work — your clients, your style, your projects — so you stop re-explaining yourself at the start of every chat.
Session 03
Wired into your tools, taught your way
Plug your agent into Outlook, Word, Excel, the browser, the files you already use. Teach it your way of doing things so it does them that way every time.
Session 04
A team of agents running alongside you
Multiple agents handling the routine in the background, so you can focus on the work only you can do.
