Build your first
AI agent.
One night. No code. You leave with an agent that does a real job for you, and the playbook to build the next one. First taught for AUC's Data Science Institute and Johns Hopkins. Now open to everyone.
Dates go to the list first, with a personal link that opens the waitlist rate before seats go on public sale.
Fourteen years a working creative in Dallas-Fort Worth. Ran the first version of this workshop for about fifty HBCU students with AUC's Data Science Institute and Johns Hopkins.
Not notes about agents. An agent.
A working agent
Built by you, on the night, doing one real task from your business or your craft. Not a demo you watched. Yours, running when you get home.
The playbook
A step-by-step guide built from the AUC run, prompts included, so you can build the second one on your own.
A room that answers
A small room. Questions answered while you are stuck instead of three days later, and the Academy community afterwards.
First, what is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a helper you set up once that does a task for you every time after that. You describe the job in plain English and give it what it needs. It reads, decides, and acts. No code, no engineering degree, no waiting on a developer.
How the evening runs.
Bring a laptop and a charger. The tools are free to start and I walk you through the accounts. We build in three moves.
- 1 Frame
Pick the one task that eats your week.
We write the job description your agent will follow, in plain words. If you can explain it to a new hire, you can explain it to an agent.
- 2 Build
Build it live, on the same screen as me.
Step by step, click by click. We feed it real examples and test it until it behaves the way you would.
- 3 Show
Run it for the room.
Everyone shows their agent doing its job. You leave with it working, and the playbook to build the next one.
Upcoming dates.
No public date yet. The first run is being scheduled now. The waitlist hears the date before it appears here, with the link that opens the waitlist rate.
Get your seat.
Small room on purpose. Checkout is secure and handled by Stripe; your seat code comes straight to your email.
Why I am opening this up.
I taught this first for AUC's Data Science Institute and Johns Hopkins in June 2026: three nights, about fifty students from HBCUs across the country, most of them starting from zero. By the third night they were pitching agents they built themselves.
The question I get most is not "what is AI". It is "what do I actually do with it". This is my answer. One night, one agent, built by you, doing a job you are tired of doing.
If that is what you have been waiting for, put your name down. I will tell you the date before anyone else, and the first seats are yours.
Put my name down →Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the job in plain English. The building is clicking, pasting, and testing. If you can write a text message, you can do this.
What do I bring?
A laptop and a charger. The tools are free to start, and I walk you through the accounts on the night. Phones are fine for following along but not for building.
What does it cost?
Pricing is announced with the date. The waitlist gets a lower rate before seats go on public sale, and that rate is only ever offered through the link in your waitlist email.
Is it online or in person?
The first public run is being scheduled now, and the format goes out with the date. If it is in person, it is in Dallas-Fort Worth.
What if I cannot make the first date?
Stay on the list. Every date goes to the list first, and your personal link keeps working for the next one.
What is the refund policy?
Seven days, no questions, as long as it is before the workshop date. The full policy is on the refunds page.
The first seats go to the list.
Dates first. Early bird first. One email when it drops.
