after phase 1 (about an hour),

You'll have these four things.

  • A map of the AI employees worth building for your own work
  • Your first AI employee chosen, with a one-page brief you can reuse
  • The tools it needs, connected
  • One real job, run by your own agent from start to finish
what's inside

The boring kindof AI agent. The kind you'll still be using in six months.

Most of what gets posted as an AI agent took ten hours to set up and saves eleven minutes a week. This plan goes the other way: small, useful agents that take the parts of your work you find hardest to keep on top of.

The Agent MBA Action Plan is a Notion template that goes with the Your Agent MBA newsletter series. Read the episode for the why. Open the plan and do the work.

Phase 1 is free. Phases 2 to 8 are for members of the Inner Circle, my paid membership, along with a live session once a month and a say in what goes into the later phases.

  • You've watched the AI agent demos and suspect most of them take longer to build than they save.
  • You want something built and working at the end of each phase.
  • You don't code. You won't need to.

You are inside my brain. You identified all of my frustrations and stuck points, which now feel manageable and actionable. As a founder this has been a major obstacle to my success.

Tayla, I'm following your Claude MBA Action Plan and I need to tell you THANK YOU. I was scared and fearful of AI. Now I feel like Claude is my personal business partner. I can't thank you enough.

I've done phase 1, working on phase 2, and the project setup has totally changed the way I use Claude. The output is x100 better. Thank you.

hi, I'm Tayla

Hey, I'm Tayla. I work full time and build Dangerously Educated in the mornings and on weekends, in about 16 hours a week.

This year I turned AI from an advisor into a small team of agents. They action the emails I used to leave sitting for a week, draft my workshop slides before I've opened my laptop, and brief me on my day while I'm on my morning walk.

They don't think or write for me. They take the boring parts, so my best hours go to the work only I can do. The Agent MBA Action Plan is how I'd build that team again from scratch.

one last thing,

Ready to make your first hire?

Phase 1 is free and yours the moment you sign up. Work through it at your own pace. Phases 2 to 8 arrive with each episode for Inner Circle members.
