Build Your Personal Intelligence System in 4 Weeks

You use AI but you need a system to delegate to. This course gives you the framework to decide what to delegate, how to stay in the loop, and a working system that grows with your work.

This course teaches you to become the orchestrator:

- Define and communicate outcomes to agents.

- Know what to delegate fully, which need your review, and which to keep

- Be the Human-in-the-loop : Review and refine, instead of starting from scratch

Four functions of the system you'll build :

  • THINK : Shape AI's thinking through consistent prompting

  • REMEMBER - Engineer context to build systems of memory - projects, preferences, repeatable processes

  • ACT - Build workflows and Agents you delegate to

  • USE TOOLS - Connect AI to your apps (Notion, n8n, Email/calendars, databases) - wherever your work lives

Use No-Code tools (Make/n8n) and Claude Code (terminal + agents) to build a working system that:

  • Researches and plans for you in minutes, not hours

  • Writes and publishes content in your own voice

  • Automates recurring tasks

⚡️ By the end, you have a working intelligence system wired into your work and a delegation framework you'll use long after the course ends.

⚡️ HANDS-ON BUILDING, NO TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED.

What you’ll learn

You will learn how to use AI like the top 1% operators.

  • Apply the same skills you use to lead people: onboard with context, set clear briefs, trust execution, connect to resources

  • Shift from doing work with AI to defining outcomes and delegating execution

  • Learn to identify what needs your attention vs. what can be delegated, automated, or scaled

  • Understand how LLMs process context - and why this changes how you write instructions

  • Master the AIM framework for writing instructions that work at every layer of your system

  • Write system instructions that shape AI's behavior persistently, not just per-message

  • Build persistent context that captures your projects, preferences, and standards across every session

  • Convert your repeatable tasks into reusable skills and projects - processes that compound over time

  • Structure knowledge so AI has the right information about you and your projects

  • Identify the patterns in your work that signal automation opportunities

  • Classify and prioritize what to automate and delegate

  • Build workflows and agents that execute while you focus on higher-value work

  • Connect AI to where your work lives - Notion, n8n, calendars, or whatever you use

  • Build a composite system with Claude Code as the orchestrator and your tools as components

  • Walk out with a real system and a 30-day plan to expand it

Testimonials

  • I entered the AIin30 pilot program feeling a bit intimidated by AI and what it could do, but the thoughtful structure and pacing of the course quickly helped me feel comfortable. Sash did an excellent job explaining each step in a clear, approachable way, and I never felt lost or overwhelmed by the terminology, even coming from a non-tech, non-corporate background. I’m truly grateful for the confidence it gave me to learn, understand, and implement AI in a way that feels healthy, responsible and empowering. During the course I gained the confidence to start using AI to create a business plan for an idea I have been sitting on for years.

  • The pilot course was perfectly paced for busy professionals who want to dive into GenAI . It provides a strong foundation to start exploring, then expand on your own work and go deeper into orchestration with AI. Well done, Sash!
