A small start. A bigger direction.
The building blocks for
working agentically in business.
A daily brief is a practical first step: combine transcripts from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or another meeting service with emails that need a follow-up. The skills you practise—briefing, context, permissions, handoffs and review—form the foundation for more complex workflows and an agentic business.

One system, several workflows.
This chief-of-staff map is a Level 2 example: several specialist workflows coordinated as a system. The Basic Agentic Course teaches Level 1, where you build and review one small workflow that prepares you for this next step.

A learning workspace you can use
Read. Try. Reflect.
Keep a brief, save your exercise notes, mark modules complete and export your work. Your exercises and progress are saved to your learning account. Use the fictional daily-brief practice pack, then adapt the workflow to material you are entitled to use.
Questions before you start
Do I need to code?
The first exercises use plain-language briefs and manual tasks. More complex connections are optional further learning.
Will the bots access my apps automatically?
Only capabilities actually available in your chosen tool can be used. Start with manual input; check permissions and run tests before connecting anything.
What happens after I pay?
Your email confirms the selected workshop and links to learning account registration. Module 0 gives you the preparation checklist; teaching opens when your workshop begins.
