You know about Claude Code. Now build your entire workflow around it.
The top 1% of PMs today don't just use AI — they operate from the terminal. They build their own agents, get their own answers, and ship AI features they actually understand. This 5-week sprint turns you into that PM. You'll build a full agentic chief of staff, connect Claude Code to your real data, ship agents from scratch, and learn how to lead an AI-native team — not just talk about one.
What You'll Learn
Agentic Chief of Staff
Build calendar, email, and analytics agents that triage your inbox, analyze your week, and surface insights — running on your real accounts by Week 2.
MCP Data Connections
Set up MCP servers for Snowflake, Notion, Linear, and Google Workspace. Query your own data in natural language — no data scientist required.
Eval Suite and Ship Decision
Write eval suites that catch model regressions before your users do. Produce a documented ship/hold decision backed by coverage analysis and regression results.
AI-Native Team Playbook
Design the access, training, and builder day format that moves your org from AI-curious to AI-operative — and rewrite one career ladder expectation to make it a real standard.
Who Is This For?
This sprint is designed for:
Product Managers
Who want to go beyond prompting and actually build the agents and workflows that make them 10x more effective at their job.
Senior PMs & CPOs
Who want to model IC behavior for their teams — getting their own answers, building their own tools, and shipping with real technical depth.
PMs on AI-Native Teams
Who are shipping LLM features and need to understand evals, model swaps, and distribution-first product thinking — not just user stories.
Sprint Outline
5 weeks · 3 sessions per week

IC PM Playbook
Your personal agentic workflow + an AI-native team playbook with access plan, builder day design, and one rewritten career ladder expectation — presented live.

What Students Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I built my calendar agent in Week 1 and ran it every day for the rest of the sprint. By Week 5 I was pitching my entire team on builder days. This course changed how I work."
Priya Kapoor
Senior PM · Rippling
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The evals week alone was worth it. We swapped models on a production feature and for the first time had actual data to back the decision. No more shipping on vibes."
Marcus Webb
Product Lead · Linear
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I went from never having opened a terminal to running three agents daily. The setup in Week 1 is so good that even non-technical PMs get unblocked immediately."
