- ›The only thing that matters: working systems that run without you
- ›Why you don't need to code (and when you might want to)
- ›Your learning environment setup: n8n, Supabase, Claude API, Notion
- ›How to use the prompt library throughout this course
“Find the $18,200 problem in your business before building anything.”
- ›The 5-question workflow audit (do it for your business right now)
- ›The 3 universal bottlenecks: lead capture, follow-up, reporting
- ›Bottleneck scoring: frequency × time × error rate × cost
- ›Choosing your first build: the highest-ROI target
- ›The analogy test: if you can explain it like an employee's job, you can automate it
“Four tools. That's the whole system.”
- ›n8n: your automation backbone (the plumbing)
- ›Claude API: your AI worker (the brain)
- ›Supabase: your memory layer (the filing cabinet)
- ›Resend: your communication layer (the voice)
- ›How the four connect: every system uses this same architecture
- ›What you don't need (and why people waste money on the wrong tools)
“A vague instruction produces a broken system. A precise one produces a deployed one.”
- ›Why most people's AI "doesn't work" (they're giving it bad instructions)
- ›The ABAS Prompt Structure: Role → Context → Rules → Output Format
- ›Writing your first system prompt: AI lead qualifier
- ›Bad version vs. good version: live comparison with real output difference
- ›Prompts that stay consistent: deterministic vs. creative outputs
- ›Building a prompt library: save, version, and reuse across systems
- ›Prompt governance: when a prompt breaks in production and how to fix it
“Build the Lead → Intelligence → Decision → Action engine.”
- ›The 4-part architecture: Trigger → Intelligence → Decision → Action
- ›Trigger: setting up your intake point (website form, email, missed call)
- ›Intelligence: the AI qualification layer
- ›Decision: the scoring layer (rules + thresholds — NOT just AI)
- ›Action: routing logic (high value → alert; medium → queue; low → nurture)
- ›The log layer: every system must write its own audit trail
- ›Testing: how to break your system before a lead does
- ›Going live: production checklist before you flip the switch
“The report that builds and sends itself.”
- ›Why reporting is always the last thing automated (and why it shouldn't be)
- ›The reporting architecture: data source → formatter → PDF → delivery
- ›Connecting to your data (Google Sheets, AppFolio, QuickBooks, Airtable)
- ›The AI formatting layer: turning raw numbers into readable narratives
- ›PDF generation: building the template once, running it forever
- ›Scheduled delivery: setting the trigger so it runs on the 1st without you
- ›The PropAuto model: how this exact system saves 40+ hours/month
“Deploy an AI worker that handles a real job in your business.”
- ›What an AI agent actually is (not the hype version)
- ›The 3 agents every service business needs: lead qualifier, customer responder, ops monitor
- ›Building a lead qualifier agent: from prompt to production
- ›Building a customer-facing chatbot: the AI receptionist
- ›Giving your agent tools: web search, CRM lookup, calendar booking
- ›Prompt governance for agents: update behavior without breaking the system
- ›When to use an agent vs. a workflow (a critical distinction)
“Build the business so it runs without you — and is worth more when you sell.”
- ›The Ondrej principle: every process requiring the founder is a liability at exit
- ›The VA test: can a $15/hr person run ops for 2 weeks without asking you a question?
- ›Documenting what you built: the SOP that makes systems transferable
- ›Metrics that matter: MRR, churn, CAC, LTV, founder dependency score
- ›The acquisition lens: what buyers look for and how your systems prove it
- ›Your 90-day automation roadmap: prioritized, sequenced, revenue-first
Yes. The workshops and Academy are built for operators, not developers. You'll never write code. You'll learn which tools to use, how to describe what you need, and how to evaluate whether something is working — that's 90% of what matters.
Workshops are in-person, niche-specific, and focused on one use case per session. The Academy is a full self-paced curriculum covering 6 modules across your entire business. Most people start with a workshop and then join the Academy.
Yes — that's what Corporate Training is for. We'll run 3 on-site sessions at your location, tailored to your industry and your actual workflows. Pricing is per engagement, not per seat.
It's an operational audit that proves you've mapped your automation opportunities and taken action. You get a written report, an implementation roadmap, and a badge you can display on your website and marketing. It's also the fastest path to working with ABAS on a build — we already know your system.
We're targeting Q3 2026 for the founding cohort. Waitlist members get 30–50% off founding pricing and early access before public launch.
Workshops are local (Pioneer Valley). Corporate Training can be done remotely. ABAS Academy and Certification are fully online and available anywhere.
