AI for Normies - Agentic Coding Series
You've learned to prompt. Now it's time to actually build.
AI for Normies is a practitioner-led workshop series for AI-curious professionals and founders who want to move beyond prompting LLMs and start shipping real, functional agentic workflows without writing a single line of code.
No theory overload. No slides you'll forget by Friday. Every session ends with something you actually built yourself.
🛠 WORKSHOP 1: Design a Personal Productivity Agent with Claude
In this first session, you'll design and deploy your first personal AI agent using Claude Desktop — a tool that doesn't just respond to you, but acts, decides, and executes workflows on your behalf.
We'll start with a real use case that is relevant to your daily life. By the end of the session, you'll have a working agent prototype you can actually use on Monday morning.
🧠 What you'll walk away with:
→ Your first working AI agentic workflow — built by you, for you → A mental model for designing agentic workflows → Hands-on experience with Claude Desktop and MCP connectors
👤 Who this is for:
This is NOT for developers.
This is for: • Professionals who want AI to do the grunt work, not just assist • Founders and solopreneurs looking for leverage — doing more with less • Anyone who's thought "there has to be a better way" about their weekly grind
If you've been meaning to level up your AI skills beyond prompting, this is your on-ramp.
⚙️ What you'll need:
A Claude Pro account is required to follow through the full live build. Bring your laptop. A pre-workshop setup guide will be shared with you ahead of the session.
