Sound familiar?
Your CEO wants the team using AI agents. Nobody on the ground knows what that means.
Every company’s strategy deck says “be more agentic” or “deploy AI across the business.” But the people who are actually meant to do it are stuck. A salesperson at one of the world’s top AI companies…
You’re sharing incredible AI tutorials. Nobody’s following through.
You’ve got an AI channel in Slack. A WhatsApp group full of friends sharing the latest demos and launches. Bookmarked YouTube videos you’ll get to eventually. If you actually followed every tutorial…
You could hire a consultant. But the knowledge walks out the door with them.
Top AI consultants will bill you £400+ per hour or at least £1,000 a day. After a few days, you get an audit, an action plan, and a team wondering what to do next. So you’ve spent a few thousand…
Your team’s using basic AI now, but you know you’re behind on agents.
You’ve got ChatGPT in your workflow, and maybe a few disjoint tools too, but team members are all improvising. Agents actually connecting to your tools, using your full business context, and running…
Agents are a multiplier for you and your team.
You've probably heard about developers running multiple coding agents in parallel. This accelerator gives your non-technical teams that same superpower.
Inside the best AI companies right now, individuals aren't just using AI for the odd task. They're frequently running two or three agents in parallel alongside their own work. These agents have full context of the business, they're getting smarter every day, and they mean your people are no longer limited to working on one thing at a time. Your most productive people become even more effective.
After the accelerator, each person becomes what we call an agentic team lead: someone who manages a team of AI agents alongside their normal work. They know how to give an agent context, a mission, and the tools it needs. And they can do it for any problem they encounter, not just the four agents we build together.
4 agents. 4 weeks. Yours forever.
Strategy Coach
Build a personalised AI coach that knows your background, goals, and working patterns. It'll help you prioritise, make decisions, and stay accountable. Trained on how you think.
GTM (Pipeline) Agent
Connect Claude to your CRM, task manager, and calendar. Now your AI knows your pipeline, your tasks, and your schedule. Ask it to prep for calls, prioritise your week, or spot deals going cold.
Product Agent
Build an agent that researches new features, analyses competitors, and creates PRDs. It'll know your product, your market, and your users, and help you make better product decisions.
Developer Agent
Hand your PRD to Claude Code and watch it build. Ship real tools for your business without writing code yourself. You'll go from product spec to deployed in 90 minutes.
Founding Cohort

Weekly Structure
+ weekly 1:1 call with James to explore specific topics and integrations
"There's a lot of folks out there who know a lot about AI. But there's very few who are able to explain and teach it in a way that's accessible, clear and fun. James is one of those rare few."


"James was an incredible facilitator and guide. He was able to take us through a complex workflow quickly but patiently while keeping the whole group engaged."


"I was at the AI founder boot camp in early December where you presented your coaching framework. I just wanted to send you a message to say it's very possible it has changed my life. Thank you so much for that."

Luma Workshop Feedback
So incredibly useful - really appreciate your time and generosity James
Super useful! Thank you
Loved it. Would be great to get some simple guides as follow up to test the processes you mentioned so we can set them up without forgetting the basics :)
So clear. Huge amount of value delivered in a short space of time. Looking forward to seeing the notes and recording.
Who's teaching this?
Hi, I'm James 👋. I'm a Growth leader, Ex-CEO and AI advisor, and I've spent the last 14 years building and scaling tech startups.
Most recently, I was Creator Growth Lead at ElevenLabs during our hypergrowth from $120M to $210M ARR, where I led 13 product launches in 9 months and shipped viral PLG experiments responsible for over 1 million ElevenLabs-branded UGC videos being shared annually.
Before that, I spent 10 years as CEO of Encore Musicians, scaling it to 50,000+ bookings and $45M GMV before we were acquired by Mixcloud.
I love opening people's eyes to the magic of AI, and I love teaching.
After graduating from Computer Science at Cambridge, I was headhunted by Matt Clifford to join the 3rd Entrepreneurs First cohort, and taught 40+ hours of content on Decoded's world-famous executive coding courses.
I won't waste your time with theoretical "thought leadership".
I'll teach you the systems I use myself through hands-on, pragmatic workshops.



What people say
"I saw James speak on three different topics at an AI bootcamp I attended recently, and each session stood out for the same reason. He has a rare ability to take something as complex as AI and make it feel practical, approachable and genuinely useful."

"The session was very practical.I came away with actionable insights that I could implement immediately, and I've already shared what I learned with my colleagues."
"In the turbocharged world of AI, the best way to learn is to do, and James had us building a personal AI coach in just an hour. It truly opened my eyes to what is possible."
"Very practical and well thought through. They really gave me a window into best practice and were delivered thoughtfully and creatively. Definitely someone I would love to hear more from!"
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
- You want to learn how to build AI agents, not just use AI for chat
- You know agents could make a real difference in your work, but you haven't had the time, structure, or accountability to actually build them
- You're a founder who wants your team thinking agentically
- You're the person on the team who wants to become the one who can actually build things

- You're already building and shipping agents every week
- You want someone to build agents for you rather than learning the skill yourself
- You're looking for a theoretical course about AI strategy with no hands-on building

Get in touchFrequently Asked Questions
This is the most common concern we hear. One leader told us his team were too busy to learn how to use Agents right now. But here’s how we think about it: 4 hours a week for 4 weeks is 16 hours per person. In exchange, each person learns a skill set they’ll use every day for years. When James signed his own team up for a similar programme, he had the same worry — and those few hours completely transformed how they approached the rest of their work. The real question is whether you can afford not to invest those hours while your competitors are building this capability right now.
Honestly? You probably could, eventually. But ask yourself: you’ve probably watched dozens, if not hundreds, of AI videos in the past year. How many agents have you actually built? The information is everywhere. What’s missing is the structure, the accountability, and someone on a Friday saying “Have you finished the agent from last week? If not, we’ve got half an hour — let me unstick you.” That’s the difference between saving tutorials and actually shipping.
This is specifically designed for non-technical founders and operators. You don’t need to write code. After a 90-minute coaching session, one founder went from zero to shipping two fully operational agents inside his app within three weeks — and built an entire website over Christmas. Another attendee of a two-day bootcamp built 4-5 apps for his coaching business within eight weeks. These weren’t developers. They were founders who learned the skill and ran with it.
Every session is recorded, so you can catch up in your own time. That said, the live sessions are where the magic happens — you build alongside the cohort, get unstuck in real time, and benefit from other people’s questions and use cases. If your schedule genuinely doesn’t work for Tuesdays and Fridays, the self-paced option (£499) gives you all the recordings, prompts, and templates to follow along at your own pace.
You could. Most charge £500/hour or £1,000/day. After three days, you’ll have an audit and an action plan — roughly £3k for a PDF. The consultant doesn’t know your business the way your team does, and the knowledge leaves when they do. For the same price (£2,999 for a team of up to 4), the accelerator teaches your actual team the skill. They build agents themselves, woven into your specific workflows, and they keep building for months afterwards. The capability stays in the company.
We primarily teach using Claude because we think it’s the best tool for building agents right now. But the frameworks and agentic thinking you learn work across any AI platform. If you’re already using ChatGPT, Gemini, Lovable, Replit, or Cursor, you can keep using them. In Week 4 (the Developer Agent), you choose your own tool: Claude Code, Lovable, Replit, or whatever you prefer. You don’t need to switch your existing setup. The skill is platform-agnostic even though we have a preferred toolkit.
Yes. If you’re not happy, you get a full refund. We’re confident enough in the value that we’d rather remove the risk entirely than have someone hesitate over whether it’s worth it.
If you can already build a purpose-built agent from scratch in 60 minutes — one that connects to your tools, has persistent memory, and serves a specific mission in your business — then you probably don’t need this. But if you’re using AI mostly for ad hoc conversations and haven’t built the systems and agents that run in the background, there’s a significant step up waiting for you. The best people inside AI companies are managing teams of 5+ agents they’ve built themselves, delegating work to them throughout the day. That’s where this programme takes you.
Yes — many companies have L&D or professional development budgets that cover this. We’ve put together a reimbursement page with pre-written emails you can copy and send to your manager. They frame the investment around business impact: working agents for your real workflows, capability building, and why it’s more cost-effective than bringing in a consultant.
The self-paced option (£499) gives you all the recordings, prompts, templates, and resources — you follow along at your own pace. The live individual option (£999) adds the weekly sessions, 1:1 coaching with James, office hours, accountability partners, and the private community. The team option (£2,999, up to 4 people) gives your whole team the live experience. If you can make the times, the live cohort is significantly more valuable because of the accountability and personalised support. If you genuinely can’t, self-paced is a strong standalone product.
