The Opportunity

AI agents have crossed an inflection point

On complex intellectual tasks requiring 4 to 8 hours of human effort, AI agents now achieve approximately 70% success rates, and they maintain this level as complexity increases.

The professionals who will thrive are those who learn to think in workflows, not prompts. Who can frame problems precisely, provide the right context, and orchestrate AI agents to deliver results that would have taken days of manual effort.

The value is no longer in executing tasks yourself. It is in framing problems, providing context, orchestrating workflows, and validating outputs.

~70%

Success rate on complex tasks

AI agents achieve this on intellectual tasks that require 4 to 8 hours of human effort.

3

Sessions of hands-on training

Everything you need to go from AI user to AI power user, with real tools and real workflows.

Who this is for

Built for daily AI users ready to become AI orchestrators

This is an advanced programme. To get value out of it you need to already use ChatGPT and/or Claude every day, be comfortable building Custom GPTs or Projects, have solid prompting fundamentals, and be at ease installing software and working in browser-based or terminal-style environments.

This is for you if you…

  • Use ChatGPT or Claude daily for real work
  • Already build Custom GPTs or Claude Projects
  • Have solid prompting fundamentals (system prompts, structured output)
  • Are comfortable installing software and working in CLI or browser tools

Not the right fit yet?

If you are still figuring out the basics of ChatGPT, this is not the right starting point. Look at our AI Champions programme instead.

What you walk away with

Measurable growth

Every session builds on our capability framework. You start from a personal baseline, level up across defined skills, and finish with a certified level profile backed by the agents and workflows you built.

From assistant to colleague

Shift your mindset from using AI as a chatbot to delegating complex 4 to 8 hour tasks that AI executes autonomously.

Build your own tools

Create custom MCPs that connect AI to your actual work tools: email, CRM, databases, and more.

Orchestrate agent swarms

Design and deploy multi-agent workflows where orchestrators coordinate specialised workers for complex tasks.

Production-ready skills

Walk away with reusable skills, MCPs, and workflows you can deploy immediately at work.

From foundations to multi-agent workflows

Each session builds on the previous one, taking you from understanding the agentic paradigm to building production-ready multi-agent systems.

What cohort 1 walked away with

Real outcomes from operators in PE, scale-ups and founder-led businesses

After a sold-out first cohort, participants left having built things that now run in their day-to-day work.

  • Connected Claude to their own email and CRM
  • Built their first MCP from scratch against real APIs
  • Wrote reusable skills that turned Claude into a task-specific expert
  • Ran agent teams that drafted documents, edited PowerPoints and ran research in parallel
  • Several deployed their first autonomous agent on a remote server before the programme was over
