What you'll build:
You don't need to hire an admin assistant to manage your life. You can actually create one yourself using AI. All, in one afternoon, inside Claude Cowork.
An AI agent isn't a chat window. It's Claude with a specific job, a specific context, and the ability to take action on your behalf. You build the agent once inside Claude Cowork. It shows up for you every time you need it.
Agent #1: The Chief of Staff 🎖
Your team captain.
Your morning focus agent pulls your calendar, your tasks, and your goals into today's focused priorities. Replaces the Sunday-night dread and the Monday-morning scroll.
Agent #2: The Briefer. 🕵️
Your pre-meeting research agent.
Before any call, pitch, or interview, it hands you a one-page brief on who you're meeting, what they care about, and what to ask. Replaces frantic LinkedIn stalking in the Uber on the way there.
Plus, you will hear from the instructors on:
The AI Moment: A grounded look at where AI actually stands today, including what people are using it for, what industries are trying to build with it, and why companies are struggling to adapt. The AI Toolkit: A clear-eyed view of what AI actually is, what it can and cannot do, how to think about safety and privacy practices, and how the major tools stack up against each other (Perplexity, NotebookLM, and More)
Here's what the AI Chief of Staff 🎖 Agent actually looks like:
Monday morning, you ask Claude:
You: "What should I focus on today?"
Without an agent--
Claude: "Here are some general productivity tips. Start with your most important task, limit distractions..."
With your Chief of Staff Agent:--
Claude: "You have a 2 PM with a new client, and your newsletter draft is due Thursday. The newsletter is behind. Two prospects replied overnight and both are high priority. Everything else can wait."
Same prompt. Different system. That's the difference between chatting with AI and having AI work for you.
