Keep your job, launch your agency.

You leave with the systems, not notes about them.

An AI automation agency gets paid to take a repetitive task off a business's plate and keep it off. To sell that, you need to have built it yourself. Every lesson ends in a task you do and submit for automatic feedback, so by week 6 you have a set of working pieces:

• A task audit. The HAS Audit, run on your own week first. It is the same method you can later run on a client's business to find what is worth automating.
• A deployed project. Built with Claude Code and live on the internet.
• An n8n automation. A workflow that starts on a trigger and finishes without you.
• A chatbot that knows a business. It answers from real documents instead of guessing.
• A voice agent. One that can hold a phone conversation, built with Vapi, ElevenLabs and Twilio.
• A security review. What your agents can see, what they can do, and where they could be misused.
• An eval. A test for an AI system. When a client asks you to prove your agent works, the eval is your answer.
• A content pipeline. So people can find you.
• An offer. Who it is for, what it automates, how it is scoped and priced.

Six weeks, six modules, and what you build in each.

The curriculum is the AI Automation Agency Bootcamp. Pick a module to see its workbook chapters, what you build, and a clip from the lecture.

Watch. Build. Show.

What a lesson looks like

Lesson 1 · a prompt you pasteCopy prompt

I want to learn the HAS Audit (Human Agency Scale Audit), a way to choose which tasks in my week to hand to AI and which to keep human. First, ask me in one message what my business or job is and which 3 tasks take most of my week. Wait for my answer. Then explain these ideas in plain language, using only my 3 tasks as examples:
1. The Human Agency Scale, from H1 (Full Automation) to H5 (Human Essential). Make clear it measures how much I WANT a person involved, not what AI CAN do.
2. The four zones from crossing my desire with AI capability: Green Light, R&D Opportunity, Red Light, Low Priority.
3. Why the task gets chosen before the tool.
End with 3 short questions that check whether I understood. Do not answer them for me.

Every lesson has prompts like this one. You paste them into Claude or ChatGPT, do the task on your own example, then submit the result to Check my work for feedback in minutes.

1. Watch A short video, cut from the live lectures.
2. Read The matching chapter of the AISA Bootcamp Workbook.
3. Follow The prompts and the task on your own laptop.
4. Check my work Submit it and get feedback. Guidance, not a grade.

The last week is where it becomes a business.

By week 6 you have built the systems. The launch module is about the part that is not technical:

• choosing who you serve and which task you take off their plate
• writing the offer in words a business owner understands
• scoping a first project so it can be delivered
• pricing it
• building the content that lets people find you

What we will not tell you: how much you will earn or how many clients you will sign. That depends on you, your market and the work you put in after the six weeks. What we can say is what you leave with: working systems you built yourself and an offer you can put in front of a business.

Your week, every week.

Start on any Monday. From then on the week has the same shape, for everyone in the building and on Zoom.

Taught by people who build these systems.

Lex Mustafin, founder of AI START academy. Foundations, Claude Code, deployment, content and the agency launch module. Lex taught himself to code, built and sold a startup that went through the 500 accelerator, and mentors founders at 500 Global and Draper University. You will find him at the tables on build days.

Bogdan Red, CTO at CQR Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity and OpenClaw.

Kheir Lazaref. n8n and voice agents: Vapi, ElevenLabs, Twilio.

What people ask before they join.

"I work full time. When would I do this?"

Whenever you have an hour. The lessons are online and there is no class to attend. Start any time, then bring your project to a Monday or Tuesday build day at the school or on Zoom.

"I have a trip coming up. I'd miss the middle and have to restart."

There is no class night to miss. The lessons go where your laptop goes. If a week or two gets busy, keep going when your schedule clears and return to the build days.

"I'm not a developer."

You do not need to be. No coding background is required. You direct Claude Code and build in n8n, and the lessons start from zero. What matters more for an agency is knowing which task is worth automating, and that is week 1.

"Is this a real school?"

Check for yourself. The school's YouTube channel, @aistartacademy, has real footage of sessions, and you can request a call with our team from this page.

"I won't focus on a screen after a day at a screen."

The lessons are short videos followed by a task, so you are building, not watching. On Thursday evening you can be in the room in San Francisco or on Zoom as students demo what they made.

"Is the price per class?"

No. The price covers all six weeks, everything included. It is not per class.

"The information is free on YouTube."

It is. What YouTube does not give you is an order to learn it in, a checked task at the end of every lesson, build days where you can ask what went wrong, and a group that sees your work at the meetup. If you have watched for months and have nothing running, the missing piece was structure.
