30-Minute Challenge: automate your workflow with AI (the Golden Hoop clone trick)

You keep hearing people brag about the dozens of AI employees they run. Sounds impressive — then you look at your own bench and count zero. This session I teach you the Golden Hoop clone trick. Last session we shipped a website worldwide in 30 minutes; this session, in 30 minutes, we build your first AI employee — a clone that does exactly one thing, stays on the job 24/7, and runs it steadier than you do. The core idea in one line: work you've done by hand three times shouldn't have a fourth. The night after the third run, codify it into a Skill — the clone's technique. Then give that Skill an identity, a trigger, a budget, and a ledger, and it grows from "a prompt" into "an employee." That's the Cron Job — the clone's soul. We'll take one real repetitive task live through the whole loop — how a Skill is born, how it becomes a Cron Job, how it runs itself. Bring one task you've done at least 3 times in the past month. By the end of class, you'll have your first clone too.

L2 · Amplify Yourself — every Tuesday, 30 minutes of AI methods and tools making something real: I build it live, you make it yours.

First optimize your own workflow with AI — do the work you already do, faster and better; then go one step further and ship an app your clients can use.

The weapons in class are real front-line tools — like Anthropic's heavy blade Claude Code — systems your teacher runs in production every day, not classroom toys.
