Eleven modules from the language-model basics to a shipped, production capstone. Built for small-business owners and operators — assumes zero prior AI experience. Interactive playgrounds, quizzes, and three capstone tracks you pick from. Real examples across agencies, retail, real estate, professional services, and content businesses. No hype.
No PhD required. If you can send an email and read a spreadsheet, you can build the systems in this course. Every code example is copy-paste.
By Module 5 you have a working automation. By Module 8 you have a scheduled agent running while you sleep. Module 11 is a full production system.
Inbound-lead intake, proposal RAG, support tiering, content ops. The examples are what small businesses actually do, drawn from the ones we've built.
No "AI will change everything" filler. No 30-minute intro videos. Just the mental model, the patterns, and the code — in the order you need them.
Foundations → patterns → hands-on builds → capstone. Modules 1–4 set the mental model, 5–7 teach the reusable patterns, 8–10 walk you through building real systems, 11 is your ship-week capstone.
Language models, tokens, context, temperature, and why 'talking to AI' works. Set the mental model you'll use for the rest of the course.
Structure, role, examples, guardrails. The prompt patterns that outperform 'be more specific' every time.
How a language model becomes an app. Function calling, browser use, connectors — and where Perplexity Computer fits in.
Workflows vs agents. The six canonical agent patterns from Anthropic, illustrated with agency examples you can run tomorrow.
When determinism beats intelligence. Build an inbound-lead intake flow in n8n and a Cloudflare Worker version alongside it.
Retrieval-augmented generation for your business. Embed your past proposals, quotes, or docs; get grounded, cited answers.
The Model Context Protocol lets any agent plug into any tool. Install one, use it in Claude / Computer / Cursor.
Skills, subagents, cron, connectors. Stand up a weekly lead-research agent that runs while you sleep.
Copy-paste JavaScript for a working agent that uses tools, retries on failure, and returns structured JSON.
Costs, evals, guardrails, PII, and the questions to ask before any AI touches a client. A pragmatic ship-checklist.
Three ship-ready tracks: Proposal Assistant, Content Ops Engine, or Support Copilot. Pick the one that saves you the most time, then build the smallest useful version this week.

| If you… | You'll get… |
|---|---|
| Run an agency or consultancy | A proposal-drafting assistant that reads a new RFP and writes a first draft grounded in your past work. |
| Sell professional services (legal, accounting, coaching) | An inbound-lead triage flow that classifies emails, drafts replies, and never lets a hot lead sit for 12 hours. |
| Run a real estate or contracting business | A knowledge base of your past estimates and listings, queryable in plain English, so every new bid starts from your best work. |
| Publish content (blog, newsletter, YouTube) | A content-ops engine that sources ideas, writes briefs, drafts first passes in your voice, and flags anything that needs a human eye. |
| Run a small SaaS or product business | A support copilot that auto-answers the easy 60%, drafts the tricky 30%, and routes the sensitive 10% straight to you. |
Test prompts against real Anthropic or OpenAI models right in the module. Watch an agent's tool-calling loop run live.
Every exercise ships with a runnable file — prompt templates, n8n workflow JSON, Cloudflare Worker code. Download and adapt.
40+ questions across the modules. Pass a quiz to mark a module complete. Your progress persists across visits.
Instant fuzzy search across modules, sections, and 40+ glossary terms. Never scroll to find what you need.
Pick the one that saves you the most time: Proposal Assistant, Content Ops Engine, or Support Copilot. Each has full architecture and code.

Some modules use JavaScript or TypeScript, but every code example is copy-paste and explained line by line. If you've ever edited an HTML file or run a shell command, you're ready. If you can't code at all, Modules 1–8 alone are worth the price — they teach you how to build agents inside Perplexity Computer with just natural language.
Gumroad has a 60-day refund policy. If the course isn't for you, request a refund on Gumroad and we'll process it. No questions asked.
Zero to try. Every playground has a Demo mode with canned responses. If you want to run real prompts, plug in your own Anthropic or OpenAI key — the sandboxed traffic stays in your browser. Expect to spend $2–10 in API credits going through the whole course.
AI moves fast. Every quarter or so, modules get updates for new models, tools, and patterns. Your license key never expires — you always get the latest version.
Each license unlocks the course for one person. If you're bringing your team, buy a license per seat — or reach out for a team discount code.
