Live 4-Day Sprint · Daily for four days, complete in one week

Build a fleet of AI agents
that do your real work.

In four working sessions, you build agents for the actual deliverables in your role, then put them to work. You leave with agents running, not a list of things to try later. No coding. Practical, human-first, and built around how your work actually gets done.

Most people are using AI like a faster Google.

Random prompts, hit-or-miss results, and a nagging sense that you are scratching the surface. Maybe you have one or two agents that save you a couple of hours a week. That is useful, but it does not change how your work gets done.

The shift happens when you have a fleet of agents covering the things you do every day. That is when the work actually feels different.

The honest part

Building an agent is not hard. The real bottleneck is deciding what to build, and then building it before you talk yourself into doing it manually one more time. This sprint removes that bottleneck. You map your work, you build, and you leave with agents running.

What this is

A hands-on sprint, not a lecture series.

You work in Claude, in your own folder, on your own role. Each session you build something real and put it to use. By the end of the week you have a working set of agents and the method to keep building more, on your own.

The Agent Builder Sprint is a Humans + Agents program created by Steve Cunningham. Nicole Yue delivers it, bringing the implementation and change experience that makes the method stick inside real organizations.

What you will learn

Four days, four moves.

Each day builds on the one before. You do the work in the room.

1

Build your first agent

Start with what an agent actually is: a model to think, a tool layer to act, and clear instructions for the job. You build your first agent using the five-file structure that makes agents reliable, Start Here, Golden Example, Process, Context, and Quality. The golden example, a finished sample of the work you want, does most of the heavy lifting.

You leave with: a working agent you built and ran yourself, in one session.

2

Map your role

One agent is leverage. A fleet changes how you work. You break your role into six core responsibilities, each with six deliverables, a clear map of thirty-six agents that cover your job. Then you build a simple tracker to manage the builds and learn the faster way to produce agents at scale.

You leave with: a thirty-six agent map of your role and a manageable plan to build them.

3

Work on your goals, not just your job

Days one and two cover the work already in your job description. Day three is about the projects you have put off because there was never enough time or budget. You turn your goals into projects, then into chains of agents that complete a whole project end to end, not just single tasks. This is the part that was not practical before.

You leave with: agent chains aimed at the projects that move you toward what you actually want.

4

Run the numbers

You put a realistic value on the work your agents now handle, across both your day-to-day role and your bigger projects. Then you build an execution plan to keep it running. You leave with a clear picture of what this is worth and a practical way to operate it week to week.

You leave with: an execution plan and a grounded sense of the return on your time.

What you take home

You leave with assets, not just notes.

A working agent

One you built yourself, running on your own work.

A map of your role

Thirty-six agents that cover the deliverables you produce.

Agent chains for your projects

Sets of agents that finish your highest-value projects.

An execution plan

A practical way to keep building and running after the week ends.

A portable method

The five-file structure works in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. You are not locked to one tool.

The skill to keep going

You can build new agents on your own, whenever the work calls for one.

Who it is for

For people ready to do the work.

Professionals, leaders, and business owners who want to modernize how their work gets done. You do not need to write code. You need a Claude subscription (from $20 a month) and the Claude desktop app, a real role with real deliverables, and a willingness to jump in and build. This is for people who learn by doing, not by watching.

Nicole Yue
Your guide

I have done this work inside real organizations.

I am Nicole Yue, founder of People + Process + AI. I have spent nearly 30 years in human capital, program management, organizational change, and hands-on AI adoption, including 14 years at Comcast.

I deliver this sprint because the method works, and because making it stick is the part most people miss. The right order is people, then process, then AI. I help you build agents around how your work actually happens, so adoption holds after the week is over.

AI Black Belt

You're not behind.
You're early — and this is your path forward.

Practical, workflow-based training for seasoned professionals who want real AI skills — not another tool tutorial, not more hype, and not a certificate that sits on a shelf. You'll leave saving hours every week and leading confidently in an AI-powered workplace.

Built for Three Kinds of People

Seasoned professionals. Growing teams. HR leaders.

The Seasoned Professional

You've built a career on deep expertise. AI feels like it's changing the rules — and you're not sure where you fit. This program gives you clarity, confidence, and practical skills that make your expertise more valuable, not less.

Operations leaders, marketing directors, finance professionals, account managers, project managers, consultants

The Team That Needs to Level Up

Your team knows AI exists. They're experimenting — but nothing is sticking and nobody knows what "good" looks like. The AI Black Belt gives your team a structured, shared framework for applying AI to the work they actually do, together.

Operations, HR, marketing, finance, sales, client services teams

The HR Leader Rethinking the Workforce

AI is changing roles faster than most organizations are ready for. HR leaders use the AI Black Belt to understand what's actually possible, develop internal champions, and guide workforce redesign decisions from knowledge, not theory.

Workforce reskilling strategy, role redesign, AI adoption policy, champion development

Most AI training doesn't work. Here's why.

Random prompts. Tool tutorials. YouTube rabbit holes. One-day workshops that don't connect to actual work. They create the illusion of progress without changing how anything actually gets done.

The AI Black Belt is different because it's grounded in your real workflows — not generic examples. You don't learn AI in the abstract. You learn it in the context of the work you already do.

  • Random prompts — no system, no retention
  • Tool-chasing — the landscape changes weekly
  • Waiting for AI to "stabilize" — it won't
  • Generic training — nothing tied to real work
Where You Are Now
Overwhelmed by AI tools and options
Experimenting randomly without a system
Spending hours on work AI could handle
Uncertain whether AI is helping or adding noise
Worried about staying relevant
Where You'll Be
Calm and confident with AI in daily work
Saving real hours each week with role-specific workflows
Leading with practical AI skills others are figuring out
Clear on what to automate, what to keep human, and why
Positioned as AI-capable in any room
What You Get

Everything you need to make AI work in your actual job.

The Program

  • Live cohort training with Nicole
  • Hands-on workflow exercises using your real work — not case studies
  • Role-specific AI workflows you can use immediately
  • Transformation templates and prompt libraries
  • Weekly accountability and coaching support
  • Lifetime access to recordings

The Credential

  • Certificate of completion
  • Portfolio of working AI workflows
  • Practical skills you can demonstrate, not just describe

Why the credential matters

The AI Black Belt isn't a participation trophy. It represents a working portfolio of AI workflows built around your real role. You can show exactly what you've built and how you use it — in interviews, with leadership, and in the room.

Why This Approach Works

The re-engineering framework.

Instead of teaching you a tool and hoping you figure out where it fits, we start with the work: what you do, where the friction lives, and how AI can redesign the workflow to eliminate the tedious and amplify the valuable. This is the difference between AI as a novelty and AI as an operating advantage.

Principle 01

Workflow before tools

We clarify the process first, then apply AI where it creates the most leverage. No tool-chasing, no generic demos.

Principle 02

Real work, not demos

Every exercise uses actual workflows from your role or industry — not sanitized examples from a slide deck.

Principle 03

Mindset and method together

The transformation is emotional as much as operational. We address both — because capability without confidence doesn't stick.

What Students Say

Real people. Real workflows. Real results.

"Through the AI Workflow Black Belt, I learned how to apply AI the way top consulting firms do. I created a workflow that analyzed real customer reviews, identified trends, and translated those insights into an executive-ready presentation. I shared it with hiring managers before I even started the role."
Jeff Barlow
Strategic Analyst
"We'd been stuck on this for a long time because we didn't know where to start. The re-engineering approach gave us clarity immediately. In one evening, we moved a huge project forward. I was so excited I tried to pull the team back online after hours to show them what we'd built."
Christi Stafford
CEO, Automation on a Mission
"The way Nicole teaches it, AI isn't cheating. It becomes your assistant, your engineer — the parts of your brain that already exist, just faster. That saved me closer to a full week of work. And the mindset shift scaled — I shared the workflows with my whole team."
Amber Smith
Account Director, Automation on a Mission
For Organizations

Bringing AI Black Belt to Your Team

Questions

Get clarity before you commit.

Do I need to be technical?

No. The AI Black Belt is designed for professionals who are great at their jobs and want to stay that way — not for developers or IT teams. If you can use email, you can apply everything in this program.

How is this different from other AI training?

Most AI training teaches tools. The AI Black Belt teaches you how to redesign your workflows using AI — starting with the work you actually do. The result is capability you use every day, not skills you forget in a week.

What roles is this best for?

Any professional role that involves repetitive analysis, communication, research, reporting, client work, or process management. Operations, HR, marketing, finance, sales, consulting, and project management are particularly strong fits.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. All graduates receive a certificate of completion and build a portfolio of working AI workflows they can reference and demonstrate.

Can my company pay for this?

Yes. Many students expense this as professional development. If you need a team invoice or want to discuss a corporate enrollment, reach out directly.

What if I'm not sure it's right for me?

Schedule a quick call with Nicole. There's no pressure — just a conversation to see if it's a fit. Most people know within 10 minutes.
