Small Business Owners
You run the kind of business that makes payroll, dodges burnout, and could really use 10 hours of your week back.
You're already an expert in your business. You don't need a class on entrepreneurship; you need a class on getting AI to handle the office work that's eating your week. This curriculum is the second one.
The curriculum was originally written in the order an engineer would learn it. This path re-sequences it for someone who has a business to run, not a career to start.
Customer Scheduling Agent
Customers book themselves; the agent confirms, reschedules, and reminds.
Open template →What “shipped” looks like: An agent that reads your incoming leads and replies within five minutes with three available time slots, while you're doing the work that actually pays.
Time to functional: Functional in two weekends. The first weekend is reading and setup. The second weekend is shipping the first agent.
Use these guides in this order, small business owners.
The shortest path through. Read the five sections below across two weekends, ship the first agent, decide if you want more.
