A free 90-minute workshop for anyone who's been nodding along in meetings. You'll leave knowing what an AI agent actually is, what it isn't, and where one actually helps. No code. No shame.
I nodded through an entire 'agentic AI' pitch and still don't know what makes it different from a chatbot.
I've had ChatGPT open for a year and I'm still just... asking it questions.
My manager said 'let's automate this with an agent' and I said 'totally' and then Googled it under the table.

I started with a soldering iron before I ever wrote a product spec. I've shipped hardware, software, and AI systems that real people had to trust in production. The STEMnologist™ Academy exists because technical fluency shouldn't mean pretending you know. It should mean actually understanding the tools you use every day.
"You're not behind. You just haven't been taught this yet."

I still don't know the difference between an agent and a chatbot. I just smile in meetings.
Everyone says agentic workflows. I have never once asked what that means.
I use AI tools every day and still couldn't explain how they actually work.
Illustrative, anonymized. Not customer testimonials.
Four words get thrown around like they mean the same thing. They don't. And knowing the difference changes which one you reach for.
Course 001 · The STEMnologist™ Academy
You hear "agent," "LLM," and "automation" in meetings and quietly hope no one asks you to explain the difference.
You want real examples, not another hype cycle.
You don't care about the jargon. You just want to understand what's actually happening.
You've got questions you've been too embarrassed to ask out loud.
If you're already building AI systems professionally, this session probably isn't for you. It's for everyone else, the people who want to finally understand what everyone is actually talking about.
A plain-language definition of an AI agent you can actually repeat out loud.
Two or three real use cases from real jobs, not marketing decks.
Permission to ask the questions you've been quietly avoiding.
A simple framework: when an agent is worth it and when something much simpler wins.
A one-page cheat sheet to keep on your desk.
A clear next step, with zero pressure if you don't want it.
We say the quiet part out loud. No performance needed.
Agents vs chatbots vs LLMs vs automation. Finally sorted.
Watch real agents do real work, live.
When an agent is worth it, and when a simple tool is smarter.
Two ways to keep going. Both optional.
No hard sell. One honest next step at the end. You can ignore it completely.
90 minutes, free, complete on its own. Show up, ask the awkward question, walk away with a real answer.
A small group where you build your first working AI agent: basically an AI chief of staff for your actual work week. Weekly live sessions, hands-on builds, and a Demo Day where you show the thing you built handling the exact problem you confessed.
For people who'd rather not learn in public. Three private sessions built around your actual work, plus a workflow audit. Four spots a month, by application.
Yes. The workshop is free and complete on its own. The paid tracks are only there if you want to go deeper. You owe us nothing.
No. Nothing here requires code.
No. You'll learn what agents are across tools, and why an agent is not just a chatbot with extra confidence.
Registrants get the replay for 72 hours. But the live room is where your questions actually get answered, so come live if you can.
The question you have been secretly asking. Submit yours anonymously at the time of registration. We will read some of them out in the workshop.
