What you'll learn

What an agent actually is, in plain English

Is ChatGPT an agent? The clean line between a chat box, an automation, and an agent, with real examples of each.

One agent, one job: the version that actually works

The flashy demos break. A narrow agent that owns one recurring chore is what sticks. How to pick the right first job.

Watch one get built, start to finish

A live build with Claude Code: an agent reads one source of real work and reports what needs you. Every prompt shown.

How to check its work, and fix it when it breaks

What actually goes wrong, how you review an agent's judgment, and why the same AI that built it fixes it with you.

Why this topic matters

Everyone is suddenly selling AI agents, and almost nobody will tell you plainly what one is. Owners are left to ignore the noise or buy a setup they can't fix. The honest version: an agent is judgment plus tools, it is buildable in an afternoon, and the narrow ones quietly doing one chore are the ones earning their keep. In 60 minutes you'll see one built for a real business, and leave knowing exactly where one fits in yours.

Eric Levine

Nontechnical founder running 3 companies solo with AI.

I run three companies by myself, and everything they run on I built with AI, without a technical background: the websites, the dashboards, the search & AI visibility, the automations, and StratEngine AI, an AI strategy engine.

I started where most owners are now: good at the chat box, stuck at everything past it. The distance between those two points turned out to be a learnable system, not a technical gift, and teaching that system to business owners, live, is now one of the three companies.

Everything I teach works the way I work: built for real, on your real business, and live before we move on. You build it, you own it, and you're never stuck waiting on anyone again. I also advise companies on strategy and AI.
