Automate the Boring: Build AI Workflows That Work While You Sleep

// the boring tax

You're doing work a machine should be doing.

Copy-pasting between apps. Sorting emails. Chasing updates. Posting the same things on schedule. Hours every week, gone — on tasks that never needed you in the first place.

[ copy_paste ]

Manual busywork

Moving data between Sheets, email, Slack and tools by hand, over and over again.

[ inbox_chaos ]

Drowning in inputs

Emails, form responses and messages pile up faster than you can sort and respond.

[ forgot_again ]

Things slip through

Follow-ups missed, reports late, leads cold — because it all depends on you remembering.

[ no_leverage ]

No leverage

You trade hours for output with no system working for you in the background.

Every repetitive task you do by hand is a workflow you could build once and forget. The people getting ahead aren't working more hours — they've automated the ones that didn't need them.

// what changes for you

In 2 weeks, you stop doing the boring work — for good.

Every session ends with a real, running automation in your own accounts. Not slides. Working systems.

OUTCOME / 01

Automate real tasks

Build workflows that handle inbox triage, data entry, reporting and follow-ups for you.

OUTCOME / 02

Put AI in the loop

Use AI to make decisions inside your workflows — summarize, classify, write and route.

OUTCOME / 03

Run while you sleep

Schedule automations that run on their own, reliably, and tell you only when needed.

OUTCOME / 04

Sell it as a service

Package automations for clients — high value, low delivery cost, strong margins.

// no-code track

No coding required

Build everything visually in tools like Make, n8n and Zapier. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can follow every session and leave with working automations.

// developer track

Go deeper, in code

Already a developer? Each session includes an optional deeper layer — APIs, webhooks, custom code, self-hosting and orchestration — so you build the same flows under the hood.

// the 2-week build path

Six live sessions. Six working automations.

Structured as one build journey from your first workflow to your own AI assistant. Tap each week to see the sessions.

WK 01

Foundations & your first working automations

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

MONThe automation mindset + your first live workflow

Spot automatable work, learn the modern stack, and build a live flow: a form submission gets processed by AI and lands in a sheet with a Slack/email alert — in session one.

Dev track: the same flow via webhooks, plus a look at the underlying API calls.

WEDConnecting your tools — the plumbing

Get your apps talking: Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Slack, calendars. Data mapping, filters and conditional paths. Live build: an inbox triage workflow that reads, categorizes and routes email.

Dev track: API keys vs OAuth, rate limits, and reading API docs fast.

FRIAdding the AI brain

Where AI turns automation from rule-following into decision-making. Prompting inside workflows, structured outputs, summarizing and classifying. Live build: an auto-summarizer for content and responses.

Dev track: calling the AI API directly, handling JSON, controlling cost.

WK 02

Agents, real systems & shipping your own

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

MONFrom triggers to agents

The 2026 shift: AI that decides and acts, not just if-this-then-that. Multi-step workflows and basic agent patterns. Live build: a lead-qualifier or content pipeline that reasons about each item.

Dev track: orchestration, chaining calls, and when to reach for an agent framework.

WEDReliability, scheduling & running while you sleep

Build automations you can trust. Scheduling, error handling, retries, break alerts, and keeping a human in the loop where it matters. Live build: a daily scheduled workflow that reports back to you.

Dev track: hosting/self-hosting n8n, logging, monitoring and cron.

FRICapstone — build & present your personal AI assistant

Build one end-to-end automation that runs a real task in your life or work, then demo it to the cohort. Plus: how to package this as a paid service — pricing, delivery and the lean cost model.

You finish with: 5–6 live automations + a capstone assistant running in your own accounts.

// the 2026 edge

This isn't if-this-then-that. It's AI that thinks.

Old automation followed rigid rules. The new wave uses AI to read context, make decisions and act — handling messy, real-world tasks that simple triggers never could.

[01]

Decisions, not just triggers

AI reads each input and chooses what to do — like a smart assistant, not a dumb script.

[02]

Handle the messy stuff

Free-text emails, unstructured data, judgment calls — things rigid automations choke on.

[03]

Multi-step and self-running

Chain steps into systems that run start-to-finish on their own, on a schedule.

[04]

Low cost, high leverage

Most tools have free tiers. Build once, and it works for you indefinitely.

// week 2 — your AI agent

on newEmail => {

  const intent = ai.read(email);

  if (intent.isLead)

    crm.add(lead);

  reply.draft()

}

→ runs 24/7, no you required

// the right fit

Is this cohort for you?

✓ This is for you if…

You're a founder, freelancer, marketer or ops person buried in repetitive tasks
You're a developer who wants to build automations and agents faster
You want to save hours every week with systems that run themselves
You'd like to offer automation as a paid service to clients
You can commit 6 focused hours over two weeks

✕ This isn't for you if…

You want a passive video library to watch whenever
You're looking for deep theory rather than working automations
You won't set up the free tools and build along live
You're hoping for a magic button that needs no setup at all

// who's teaching

Learn from someone who ships — not just teaches.

Charles Mbadugha

Full-stack developer & AI-native builder

I'm a full-stack developer who builds and ships real products on a React, Node.js and TypeScript stack — backed by PostgreSQL and deployed to production. Among other powerful applications, I built EduMart CBT (edumartcbt.com), a live exam-prep platform with full Paystack payment integration, and I've delivered client-facing edtech platforms end to end: architecture, backend, payments, deployment and the unglamorous DevOps that keeps it all running.

I don't just teach this from slides — I'm in the trenches with it. When a payment flow has a security gap, I'm the one writing the verification server and getting it live. That's exactly what you'll learn here: not theory, but the real, ship-it skill of taking an idea to a deployed app — now multiplied by AI. This cohort is the shortcut I wish I'd had.

FOUNDING COHORT

You're early — and that's the advantage.

This is our very first live cohort. That means the smallest class, the most personal attention, founding-member pricing, and direct access to the instructor. In return, we'd love your honest feedback and a testimonial if we earn it. Every future cohort will be bigger and cost more — this is the best seat you'll ever get.

// the commitment

Two weeks. Six evenings. A system that runs forever.

Evening sessions, three nights a week, for two weeks. Show up live or catch the recording — you keep up either way.

// before you ask

Questions, answered.

Do I need to know how to code?+

No. Everyone builds in no-code tools, so non-coders can follow every session fully. Developers get an optional deeper track each session covering APIs, webhooks, custom code and self-hosting — so the same cohort serves both.

What tools will I use?+

No-code automation platforms like Make, n8n and Zapier, combined with AI. Most have free tiers that comfortably cover the course, so you can build everything at little to no cost.

What if I miss a live session?+

Every session is recorded and shared the same week. You keep lifetime access to all recordings, templates and materials, so you can catch up or rebuild anytime.

Will I build something real?+

Yes — that's the whole point. You finish with 5 to 6 working automations running in your own accounts, plus a capstone personal AI assistant that handles a real task for you.

Can I really turn this into income?+

Automation is in high demand and cheap to deliver. The final session and the Agency tier cover how to package, price and sell automations as a service — a strong, high-margin offer for freelancers and agencies.

How do I pay, and can I split it?+

Checkout supports cards and transfers, and you can pay in full or split into two instalments. Pick your tier above and you'll be guided through it.

Build AI workflows that work while you sleep.
