What You'll Walk Away With
Not theory. Not slides. Real things you built and can use Monday morning.
3+ Automation Workflows
Production-ready automations connecting your real tools — email, Slack, CRM, spreadsheets.
2 Working AI Agents
One with tool use, one with knowledge/RAG. Both solving real problems from your work.
Prompt Engineering Playbook
Battle-tested system prompts and patterns you'll reuse across every AI tool you touch.
n8n Instance
Your own self-hosted automation engine — no per-task fees, unlimited workflows.
AI Automation Playbook
A personal decision framework: what to automate, which tools to use, how to evaluate ROI.
Waymaker AI Account
Your AI cofounder (Cameron) continues working with you after the bootcamp ends.
Built for Professionals, Not Engineers
You don't need to write code. You need to understand how to make AI work for your role — and have the confidence to build it yourself.
Your Journey
10 Sessions. 2 Weeks. Zero Fluff.
Every session is 2 hours: ~45 min instruction, ~75 min hands-on building. You learn by doing, not watching.
