What the course covers
two hours, no codeThe three shapes
An answer, a workflow, an agent. Which one your work actually needs, what each costs to build and run, and why most jobs described to me as agents are workflows.
What you get: the sentence that ends the circular meeting
How to read a pitch
What to ask, what a real answer sounds like, where the price should land, and how to tell the person who builds this properly from the person selling the word.
What you get: 4 questions and the reversibility rule
The checking habit
How to read what it says it did rather than what it handed you, so a confident wrong answer never reaches your client.
What you get: a 20 second habit that catches the quiet failures
What it costs
Real numbers rather than a demo's, how the meter actually works, and how to find your own figure in one afternoon instead of guessing for a month.
What you get: your number, not somebody else's
Proposing it inside your own company
How to put this to your boss or your team without sounding like the person who came back from a seminar. The small first job, and how to show it worked.
What you get: a proposal somebody will say yes to
While you wait

You can start on any of these today, and 2 of the 3 cost nothing.

The Claude Code courseFor the person who would rather do than read. Nothing installed to a finished project you keep.
The Claude Code course teaches you to build. This one teaches you to judge: which of the three shapes your job needs, what a real pitch sounds like, and what to do first.
Questions people ask next
answered in one line eachDo I need any coding experience?
None. The course assumes you have never opened a terminal, and the first thing you do is watch a job run rather than build one.
Who is this course for?
The person who has to live with agentic AI rather than build it. Somebody is selling you one, or your company has told you to start using one, or you are the person everybody asks what the word means.
How long is it?
About 2 hours, in short lectures you can stop after any one of them.
