    Bring the task you're tired of doing by hand.

    This is not a prompt engineering course. You bring an actual task from your work, something that repeats every week and eats more time than it should, and you leave with that task running as a system: mapped, built, tested, and governed. You also leave with the process, so the next task goes faster.

    Who it's for

    • Solo founders running every part of the business themselves
    • Small-business owners who want their hours back from the same repeating work
    • Professionals automating their own work, inside the tools they're allowed to use
    • Organizational teams adopting AI together (see the Enterprise Team Edition below)

    how_it_works.txt

    How each level works.

    Each level combines short slide videos and activities with live instruction, and the live time goes mostly to building your own system while Lex is in the room. You get reusable templates, a practical deliverable at the end of every level, and a time card that tracks your progress from Clock In to Clock Out.

    Live sessions run online or in person (hybrid).

    tool_costs.txt

    Tool costs, before you buy.

    Some of what you build may run on tools that charge separately from the course. That can include Anthropic API usage, depending on what your system does, and n8n costs once its trial period ends. We'll walk through what to expect before you build, so nothing shows up on a bill you didn't plan for.
