The Blueprint
Map the repeating work in your business and design the team you're about to build.
You build
Your Team Map: three starter agents, what each one does, and how work flows between them and you.
20 minutes to read, about an hour to map your week
Part I — Design the team. Map the work, then hire your first three agents with written role cards.
What you'll learn
- What agents, workflows and automations are, in plain words
- Which jobs in your business to hand to agents first, and which never
- The three-agent shape every starter team follows

What you're building in this course
By the end of the course you'll have a small team of AI agents that work together: one finds ideas, one turns them into content, one handles your inbox. They're connected by automations, so work moves between them without you copying and pasting, and you approve what goes out.
Three words you'll see throughout:
- Agent — an AI with a job: a ChatGPT or Claude setup with written instructions for one role.
- Workflow — agents passing work: the Researcher's output becomes the Marketer's input.
- Automation — work that starts itself: a trigger like a new email or "every Monday 8am" runs the workflow without you pressing anything.
Why most people's AI never becomes a team
Most people use AI like a very smart search box. They open a chat, re-explain their business, copy the answer out and paste it somewhere else. Every task starts at zero. That isn't a team; it's you doing all the coordinating, with a faster typist.
The difference isn't a better AI model. It's three things the rest of the course gives you: clear roles (modules 01–02), connections between them (03–04), and rules and checks so you can trust it (05–06).
Map the work in your business
Agents are good at work that is repetitive, mostly text, and follows a pattern. For one normal week, write down every task you repeat. Don't judge them yet. Then sort each into a department — almost every small online business has the same five:
- Research — trends, competitor checks, collecting ideas and sources. A good first agent.
- Content and marketing — scripts, captions, posts, newsletters, repurposing. A good first agent.
- Inbox and customers — sorting email, answering common questions, follow-ups. A good first agent.
- Sales and admin — invoices, onboarding, scheduling. Later.
- Money and legal — payments, refunds, taxes, contracts. Stays with you.
Pick your starter team
Every starter team has the same shape: one agent that gathers (research, intake), one that produces (content, drafts) and one that handles people (inbox, customers). That shape is what makes them connect cleanly later.
The course builds a creator's team as its running example — a Researcher, a Marketer and an Inbox assistant — and every module works just as well for a freelancer, an online store, a coach or a local service.
Your build: the Team Map
List every task you repeated last week, tag each with a department, circle the three most frequent that aren't money or legal, and give each of your three starter agents a one-line job. Then draw the arrows: whose output feeds whom, and where you approve.
MY AGENTIC TEAM MAP Business: [what you sell, to whom] My role: approver. I sign off on anything that goes public or touches money. Agent 1: [e.g. Researcher] Job: Gets work from: Hands work to: Agent 2: [e.g. Marketer] Job: Gets work from: Hands work to: Agent 3: [e.g. Inbox] Job: Gets work from: Hands work to: Where I approve: before anything is posted; before any email is sent Stays with me (never an agent): money, refunds, taxes, passwords, contracts
