About this course

This course is built for business owners, operations managers, and non-technical leaders who want to use AI to remove bottlenecks, save time, and make better decisions — without writing code. You'll start by learning where AI actually creates value in real businesses: customer communication, internal workflows, reporting, and decision support. Then you'll build working automations step by step using Claude, Zapier, and Make — each session produces something you can deploy the same week. By week 6, you'll have an AI-powered operations dashboard, an automated customer intake system, and a clear framework for evaluating where to deploy AI next. This is the fastest way for a business owner to go from 'I've heard about AI' to 'AI is running part of my business.'

Requirements
