Zero to Automated

Build the AI tools you actually need — taught by someone who uses them every day.

I automated my email inbox, my YouTube channel, my lead generation, and my scholarship search. Here is exactly how I built every one of them — and how you can build yours.

Real tools running in production

The tools you'll learn to build

Email Bot

Reads your inbox, categorizes every message by urgency, and drafts replies using Claude. Process 40+ emails in under 2 minutes instead of spending an hour on manual triage.

Runs daily · Gmail IMAP + Claude API · SQLite

Content Pipeline

Downloads source footage, generates AI commentary, assembles with captions and a thumbnail, and uploads automatically. A fully hands-off production workflow that runs on a schedule.

Runs on schedule · yt-dlp + MoviePy + YouTube API

Listing Monitor

Watches Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or any job board for postings that match your criteria. Filters noise, deduplicates against what it's already seen, and exports clean leads to a spreadsheet.

Runs on schedule · Selenium + gspread

Opportunity Scorer

Queries any data source for prospects or leads, scores each result against your custom criteria, and outputs a ranked list of who to contact first.

Runs on demand · Places API + scoring algo

Inbox Harvester

Processes hundreds of emails or documents at once — extracting deadlines, prices, contacts, or any structured data — and builds a prioritized list in minutes instead of days.

Batch processing · Gmail OAuth + Claude

Personal AI Assistant

A desktop overlay built around how you work — voice input, voice output, screen vision, persistent memory, and custom slash commands for your most common tasks.

Always on · Electron + Claude API + ElevenLabs

Every other AI course teaches you a platform someone else built. This course teaches you to build tools you will actually run — with code you own, patterns you can extend, and real problems they solve.

Who this is for

Solopreneurs and freelancers

You're spending 5+ hours a week on tasks that follow the same pattern. You know they could be automated — you just don't know where to start.

Students who want to build real things

You're not interested in tutorial hell or classroom exercises. You want to finish a course and have something running on your machine that actually does something.

Business Launch alumni

You've built the business. Now automate it. Module 7-1 of the Business Launch course was specifically designed to point here.

Consulting clients

You saw one of my tools running during a session and thought: I need that. This course is where you learn to build it yourself.
