What a trained agent does

Five steps of the process, handed to your agent.

A custom agent runs a business process end to end, inside the guardrails you set.

  • 01

    Picks up the work

    It starts on a schedule or an event, without anyone asking.

  • 02

    Follows your procedure

    Trained with skills, it does the job your way, every time.

  • 03

    Moves the information

    Connected to your tools, it reads the inputs and writes the results.

  • 04

    Checks the result

    Guardrails and checks run before anything leaves the process.

  • 05

    Brings you the decisions

    It stops at the points you choose and asks you to approve.

How an agent works

The loop that does the work.

How an agent works

The loop that does the work.

An agent takes a goal, decides, acts, checks, and repeats until the job is done or it needs a person.

01Observe. Decide. Act.The whole cycle is the agent loop, continuing toward the goal one turn at a time.
02The model decides. The harness acts.Context goes to the model, instructions come back, and the harness runs the tool.
03Every turn is a new request.The loop continues with the results of the last action, until the job is done.

In the course's own words, from Episode 05, How an Agent Works.

Who it is for

Built for business processes.

Who it is for

Built for business processes.

  • You run processes that repeat

    Reports, follow-ups, client work: the jobs a custom agent executes.

  • You want systems, not prompts

    Agents with skills, guardrails and known costs, built to be relied on.

  • You want what lasts

    Platform agnostic: the principles hold as models and tools change.

FAQ

Questions before you start.

Opening soonFrom $79/month

Join the waitlist
Get AI Automation Pro

Both courses in one plan. From $99/month.

Do I need to code?

No. Every step is shown on screen, and terminals, agents and skills come up only after you have seen what each one is for.

Which tools and platforms do you teach?

Platform agnostic. Models and tools change every few months; how an agent works, how to give it skills, guardrails and a schedule, and how to run it reliably do not. You learn the parts that last, shown today on Claude Code.

Can I choose what I build?

Yes. Acts 1 to 3 build the skills on one real job. In Act 4 you choose your projects: a Research Analyst, a Video Editor, a Content Engine, an Outreach Rep, or a process from your own business. New projects are added each month.

When does it open?

It opens to the waitlist first. Join it and you hear the moment it does. AI Automation Pro members get each episode as it is released.

How is it different from AI Automation?

AI Automation teaches you to build AI workflows for business processes on no-code tools. Autonomous AI Automation teaches you to build custom AI agents, train them to execute reliably and cost-effectively, and run them on their own.
