Enrollment Is Open for Agentic Academy

The optional setup session is Monday, June 15. The full 10-week cohort starts Monday, June 22.

Last Friday, I shared that Michael Simmons and I are building something new together. That post was mostly about the shift I have been feeling in my own work.

AI chat is still useful. I use it every day. But the more useful it became, the more obvious the ceiling became too.

Every new conversation still needed setup. Every project still needed the same background. Every strong prompt, example, preference, and correction still had to be saved somewhere else and brought back later.

At some point, the real challenge was building the right setup around my work so agents could actually use it.

That is the shift Agentic Academy is built around.

And today, enrollment is open.

Agentic Academy for Knowledge Work is a 10-week live cohort for people who want to move from AI chat into agentic AI work.

The goal is simple

By the end, you will have one real AI process built around your actual work. I can promise you it won’t be just a demo or another pile of prompts you never use, but a working setup where Claude can read the right files, follow your standards, use your examples, remember your corrections, and help you run a repeatable workflow you actually want to keep using.

We start in Claude Code because it is one of the clearest places to learn the pattern: project folders, source files, rules, skills, workflows, permissions, and review. Claude Code is the starting place. We also teach the transfer pattern into Codex, so the structure you build in Claude Code can move with you: the project files, rules, examples, skills, workflows, and review habits.

The point of this cohort isn’t to teach you how to master a single tool—it’s bigger than that. The deeper goal is to learn how agentic work actually works, so you can understand what to build, what to ignore, what to trust, and how to keep improving the system as the tools change.

Michael brings the business and education side of this. He has spent his career as an education entrepreneur and has taught 1,000+ classes over the years, which matters because Agentic Academy has to be more than a tool demo. It has to be taught in a way busy professionals can actually follow.

I bring the systems side. Together, we are trying to make the shift from chat to agents feel less like something you have to figure out alone from scattered tutorials, and more like a guided build on your real work.

How the timing works

The full cohort starts Monday, June 22. But we are also holding an optional setup session on Monday, June 15 at 11am ET.

That June 15 session is there to make the start easier. I do not want people showing up to the first full cohort session with an empty folder, a half-installed tool, and no idea what project to use.

I have done that version before. It is stressful. It makes the first week feel heavier than it needs to feel. And it usually means people spend the first real session catching up instead of building something real.

So June 15 is an optional onboarding and setup session.

We will help you:

1. Get clear on the project you should bring into the cohort.

2. Understand what files, examples, and past work are useful starting material.

3. Get oriented around Claude Code Desktop and the basic setup.

4. Prepare for Chat X-Ray, which helps turn your existing ChatGPT or Claude chat history into a starting point.

5. Arrive on June 22 ready to build on real material instead of starting from a blank page.

The actual 10-week build begins the following Monday.

If you can join the setup session live, great. If you cannot, that is okay too. The point is to give you a cleaner runway into the cohort, not to add another thing to your calendar that makes the whole program feel heavier.

What you build during the cohort

Every week has a practical outcome.

This is important because I do not think most people need another AI lecture. They need help turning the work they already do into something an agent can help with repeatedly.

During the cohort, you will build:

1. A starter project based on your current AI use and real work.

2. A project home base that tells Claude what you are building, what good work looks like, and what to avoid.

3. A source library so Claude can find the right files, examples, and references for the task.

4. A correction system so you stop giving the same feedback over and over.

5. A Skill Library for the kind of work you actually do.

6. A way to orchestrate subagents so bigger pieces of work can be handled by clear roles instead of one overloaded chat.

7. A repeatable workflow that turns one real input into one useful output.

8. A trust layer with permissions, review steps, and quality checks.

9. A tool connection to the apps where your work already happens.

10. A final workflow you can keep using after the cohort ends.

The first build is the proof. The bigger win is that you learn how to build the next one yourself.

Who this is for

This is for people who already use AI enough to feel both sides of it. You can see the potential. You can also feel the drag.

You have prompts saved somewhere. You have useful chats buried in your history. You have examples, drafts, notes, client context, research, meetings, or project files scattered around. You know AI could help more, but it still feels like you are doing too much of the setup work around it.

That is the person I think this helps most.

It is especially built for:

1. Creators who want AI to understand their voice, audience, archive, and publishing standards.

2. Consultants and coaches who want client prep, notes, follow-ups, and deliverables to stop starting from zero.

3. Operators and knowledge workers who turn scattered information into briefs, updates, reports, and decisions.

4. Entrepreneurs who need help connecting research, customer language, strategy, and execution without holding all of it in their head.

You do not need to know how to code. You do need real work to point this at.

But, if you only want a pack of prompts to copy, this is probably the wrong room. If you want something that works perfectly the second you open it, this may frustrate you too.

The first few weeks are about setup. They take some effort. They may feel slower than chat at first. But that is also the point. You are building the structure that makes the later work easier.

What is included

Every plan includes:

1. The optional June 15 setup session

2. The full 10-week live cohort starting June 22.

3. Monday live build sessions at 11am ET.

4. Recordings you can keep.

5. WhatsApp support during the cohort.

6. Chat X-Ray.

7. Starter project setup.

8. A curated Skill Library.

9. Build templates and improvement tools.

10. A 30-day guarantee from the June 22 start date.

There are three ways to join:

1. 10-Week: The full cohort experience.

2. Ongoing: The full cohort plus support after the first 10 weeks, a second seat, monthly mastermind sessions, quarterly Skill Library refreshes, and unlimited course retakes.

3. Custom: Built for teams that want private support, private workshops, custom modules, and a build path shaped around their actual work.

Because this is the first cohort, founding members of AI Maker get $500 off any plan.

The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

You can try the full program for 30 days from the June 22 start date. Attend the sessions. Do the work. Build on your real project.

If you have put in the effort and the system is not delivering, email us within 30 days and we will refund your tuition. No hoops. No argument.

We can offer that because the cohort is built around your real work, not hypothetical exercises.

Why I am doing this now

The honest reason is that I keep seeing the same gap.

People are using AI more than ever, but a lot of the work still feels manual. They ask better questions. They save better prompts. They try better tools. But they are still re-explaining the same project, re-uploading the same files, re-pasting the same instructions, and manually moving output from one place to another.

I do not think the next jump comes from another clever prompt. I think it comes from building the setup around your work so agents can actually help with more of it. That is what we are going to build together.

If Friday’s post made you think, “Yes, this is the shift I need to make,” this is the next step.

Enrollment is open now. The optional setup session is Monday, June 15. The full cohort starts Monday, June 22.
