10 of my most useful free guides and the 5 AI agents I run across my own businesses. Plus a clear map of which one fits you and how to use it.
If you feel behind on AI, you probably aren’t. In a Visier survey of 1,000 US full-time employees, 48% admitted they exaggerate their AI use or expertise to colleagues or managers at least some of the time, and 45% said they feel pressured to use AI at work. (TechRadar on the Visier report)
So a lot of the confidence around you is a performance. The fix is to actually learn this stuff. Here’s everything I’d point you to, organized as a roadmap instead of a list.
Two paths. The free guides below cover the highest-leverage things to learn first. The 30-Day AI Challenge takes you from knowing nothing to building real agents, workflows and automated systems for your job, business and life. You don’t need to do all of it. Pick one and finish it.

How To Actually Use These
Don’t try to read all 10 this week. Pick the two that match a real problem you have, and build what each one asks you to build. That one hour will move you further than ten hours of watching AI content.
These are the agents I use across my own businesses, packaged so you can run them in Claude Code. Each one has its own page with exactly what’s inside.
01
Meta Media Buyer Agent
Daily Meta ads briefs, creative fatigue alerts and kill, scale and test calls with the data behind them.
02
Google Media Buyer Agent
Daily Google Ads briefs, search term mining and a 74-point account audit scored A through F, with every fix ranked by dollar impact.
03
Email Marketing Agent
A weekly audit of every flow, campaign and subject line, ending in a ranked Monday task list. Works with Klaviyo, Mailchimp and the other major platforms.
04
Creative Director Agent
A Monday creative audit and up to 15 production-ready briefs every Tuesday, each built off your proven winners.
05
Strategic Co-Founder Agent
A thinking partner that learns your goals, margins and team, pulls your other agents’ reports into one view and pushes back when you chase the wrong thing.
The mistake to avoid is starting everything at once. Most people who feel behind on AI keep starting things they don’t finish. Finish one, and the next one gets easier.
