TEMPO Work · Self-paced · Opens 1 December

Learn to use agentic AI well

TEMPO Work is my self-paced course for people who want AI to do real work for them, using Claude and Cowork. You'll start from the basics and build an assistant that knows your work. Along the way I'll teach you how to decide what to hand over to it and how to check what it gives you back.

What your morning looks like

This is the Daily Plan you build in module 6. Before you start work it has read your email, calendar and meetings, picked what matters most today, drafted the replies you owe and flagged what's slipping. You decide what happens next.

The four questions

I've now taught more than 100 people to work with AI. The people who get the most out of it think carefully about when and how they use it, so every lesson in TEMPO Work comes back to four questions:

  1. Should AI do this?
  2. Did I tell it what good looks like?
  3. How do I know it's right?
  4. Can I stand behind it?

Is it right for you?

It's for you if

  • You're new to AI, or you've only used it for quick questions
  • You want AI to do real work for you
  • You don't have technical skills (you won't write any code)
  • You have a paid Claude plan with Cowork, or you're happy to get one

What's not in it

  • A system I install for you. You build your own and decide what goes into it
  • Claude Code or coding. That's TEMPO Build, my advanced agentic AI course, which starts in January
  • Setting up a whole team. For that, here's how I work with teams
  • Live teaching. I may run a live TEMPO Work cohort later if there's demand

How it works

  • Every lesson is a short video from me and one task to do on your own work, with a check so you know when you're done
  • You'll get my skill library: the skills I use every day, ready to install and adapt. It keeps growing, because I add new skills as I build them
  • It all lives in your own private portal, for six months from the day you first sign in

Before you enroll

Questions people ask

When does it open and how long do I have access?

The course opens on Tuesday 1 December 2026. You have six months from the day you first sign in, so you can start in January if December is busy.

Which AI do I need?

You need a paid Claude plan with Cowork. Copilot, ChatGPT and Gemini can't run what you'll build.

How do I sign in?

Use the email address you give for your course portal at checkout. You'll get a six-digit code at that address each time, so there's no password to remember.

Can I get a refund?

You can cancel within 14 days of buying for a full refund, as long as you haven't signed in to the course yet. Once you sign in, the course has started and there are no refunds. If you're not sure it's right for you, book a 15-minute call with me first. The full detail is in the TEMPO Work terms.

I have sensitive information that AI can't touch. What should I do?

You decide which accounts and drives to connect, so keep anything confidential outside them. In Google Drive or SharePoint, keep it on a separate drive the AI isn't connected to: once you connect a drive, the AI can reach every folder you have access to on it. The course teaches you how to sort your data and what to keep out.

Where do the four questions come from?

They build on Anthropic's AI Fluency course by Rick Dakan and Joseph Feller (CC BY-NC-SA), adapted for the way I teach.
