From Manual to Automated: The AI Automation Program
Take a manual process from your own job and rebuild it as a working AI-powered automation. Over fourteen days of live instruction and hands-on building, you design, build, and test an automation tool you can hand off to your team immediately, one that runs unattended without leaking data, running up costs, or failing silently. We build in the checks and controls that make an automation safe to trust when you're not watching it.

Risk-free. Full refund if you withdraw before the end of day one, then transferable to a future cohort.
Operations leads, analysts, consultants, and professionals with a clear manual process they need to automate, and the motivation to actually build it.
What you'll do, step by step.
Choose your target process
Pick the manual workflow worth automating, and define what success looks like.
Map the workflow end to end
Document every step as it really happens today, not how it's supposed to.
Find where AI adds value
Separate the steps AI should handle from the ones it shouldn't touch.
Automation patterns and architecture
The patterns that make automations reliable instead of fragile.
Model selection and prompt design
Choose the right model for the job and design prompts that hold up.
Data and inputs
Get clean, structured inputs flowing into your automation.
Design review checkpoint
Live mentor critique of your design before the build begins.
Build the core automation
Stand up the central logic that does the real work.
Connect your stack
Integrate the automation with the tools your team already uses.
Reliability and error handling
Make it fail safely, recover on its own, and stay inside strict cost and access limits, so it can run unattended without nasty surprises.
Edge cases and refinement
Handle the messy real-world inputs that break naive automations.
Stress-test
Push it hard with real volume and real data to find the cracks.
Documentation
Write the documentation so your team can run and trust it.
Hand-off and demo
Demonstrate to your team. You leave with something in use.
