New · Cohort 01 · online · 8 weeks
Find out in eight weeks whether an AI agent is worth it to your company.
Send one person or a small team. Every week a lecture, office hours in Slack and a private 1:1 call with me. No programming needed. At the end a personal agent runs on your server, you have tested jobs and you know what it costs to run. A running agent, not a presentation.

Why a cohort
A proof of concept usually burns out before it reaches the question.
A company decides to try an agent and spends the first six weeks on infrastructure: which server, which model, how to connect it, what is safe to send out. By the time the first question about usefulness comes up, the budget and the patience are gone.
But those are not the questions you wanted answered. You wanted to know whether it makes the work easier.
The technical decisions are made in advance. You focus on what the agent should do.
What it is
A person or a team, a server and a job
The cohort is not a lecture series about artificial intelligence. It is eight weeks in which your person or small team builds an agent and checks, on your own work, whether it makes sense for the company. Everything else is built around that.
A person or a team
An employee, or two or three, whom you give a mandate and time. Each has their own seat and their own 1:1 hour. Marketing, operations, back office, finance, HR or sales. No programming needed; it is enough that they do not mind copying a command from a guide.
The server
The personal agent runs on a server your company rents and controls. Your documents and the agent’s memory stay with you, not with an app provider.
The job
You choose the jobs the agent should do in the application, or we find them together on the introductory phone call before your application is confirmed. A morning briefing, inbox triage, answers from internal guidelines, competitor watch, drafting business proposals. The programme gives you detailed access to more than 20 of the most common ways companies use agents.
Who it is for
For companies and individuals
The cohort is for you when
- 01you have a person who can be given a mandate and five to six hours a week (or two or three who share it),
- 02you can name one job for the agent, or you want eight weeks to find it,
- 03you want the agent to run with you, and your data to stay yours,
- 04you are willing to pay the server and the AI models directly to the providers.
It is not for you when
- 01You want to train the whole team at once, in one day. That is the company workshop →
- 02You want to build the agent yourself, at your own pace, with no fixed start. That is the Club →
- 03You are looking for a development team to program the agent and hand it over finished. Here you build it yourself, with a guide and a lecturer beside you.
- 04You cannot free up even five hours a week for the person who will do it.
How it runs
One academy day a week and an hour just for you
Every week has the same rhythm. An hour of live lecture, which we record. Office hours in Slack, where anyone asks what they like. Once a week a private 1:1 call for each participant, in which we go through their own server and their own job; they book the time themselves in their profile. In between, a private Slack channel where you write to me when you get stuck.

The eight-week programme
The first two weeks build the agent and its environment. The next four teach it specific jobs. Week seven makes sure it keeps running without you. In week eight you present it.
Week 1 · Brief and installation
Agent versus chat. The project brief. Ordering the server, the first login, installing the personal agent and checking that it runs.
By the end of the week: The personal agent runs on the company server, the brief is confirmed and the job is chosen or narrowed down to a few candidates.Week 2 · The agent’s environment
Pay-per-use AI models, the desktop app, a private link between your computer and the server, a phone chat limited to one person, the agent’s memory as readable notes, an overview of what the agent does.
By the end of the week: The agent answers in the phone chat by text and by voice, and the overview of its work is reachable.Week 3 · The company agent
The agent reads company documents: a synced folder, a knowledge base, answers from internal guidelines. The rule of what must never leave the company. A price-quote skill.
By the end of the week: The agent answers from the company’s own documents and the rule is in place.Week 4 · Your day
A briefing at six in the morning, inbox triage with draft replies a person approves, meeting notes into decisions, names and deadlines, voice notes into dated notes.
By the end of the week: One scheduled job runs daily and can show that it ran.Week 5 · Market and sales
Competitor and price watch, a prospect list with opening lines, topic scouting, a weekly report from recorded numbers, go or no-go on a tender.
By the end of the week: The chosen job runs end to end on test data.Week 6 · Content and communication
From a call to a post, posts in the company voice with an image, first drafts for recurring questions, an onboarding checklist, obligations from a supplier contract. The approval flow.
By the end of the week: The job runs on real company data and human approval is defined.Week 7 · Operations
When the agent says it will and does not: proof of execution and the choice of model. Restarts, updates, cost control, key security, backups, the basics of GDPR and the AI Act. When you hand the agent to colleagues: who may talk to it, what its memory exposes, and why five profiles under one system user do not separate files.
By the end of the week: The agent survives a reboot, you have a statement of the monthly server and AI model costs, and the 90-day plan is drafted.Week 8 · Closing session
Two hours together: every participant presents their running agent and their 90-day plan. The certificate for a running AI agent.
By the end of the week: The certificate is issued for an agent that runs.
The result of the cohort
An answer that holds even when it is no
The cohort ends in a decision, not in hope. After eight weeks you have four things.
A running agent on your own server, not a prototype on someone else’s account.
Three to five tested jobs from your real work, with proof of what the agent did and from what.
The measured cost of running it: server and models, per month, on your data.
A 90-day plan of what to add if you decide to carry on.
A negative result is a full result. A rejected trial with numbers is exactly what you need for the meeting. A rejected trial without numbers is a lost quarter.
What you leave with
Six things that stay in the company
Not lecture notes, but things that keep running after week eight.
- 01
A personal agent on your server, which your person writes to and talks to from their phone, in Slovak and in Czech.
- 02
A private link between the computer and the server, and the agent’s memory stored as readable notes you can read and edit.
- 03
One running job with proof of execution: the agent can show what it did, when and from what.
- 04
A 90-day plan of what to add next, and a setup that survives a reboot and an update.
- 05
The certificate for a running AI agent. I issue it only for an agent that runs.
- 06
A basis for the decision: what the agent managed in your company, what it did not and what it costs per month. One page you can put on the table.
Application and selection
Four steps to a seat in the cohort
I review every application personally. What decides is whether your person or team has a mandate and time, not the size of the company and not whether you already know what job the agent should do.
The application
Six short parts: who is applying, for which company, why, what the agent could do (if you already know), what experience you have and who pays. About fifteen minutes.
A short call
Thirty minutes online. We go through your job or find it together, the server and the time your person has. If the cohort is not for you, I will tell you.
Acceptance and payment
Once accepted you receive a payment link for your company’s details. The price follows the day the application arrived. The link is valid for fourteen days.
Getting ready
Before the first week you receive a short list of what to prepare: accounts, access and the first documents for the agent.
The cohort has 10 seats. Every application gets an answer within two weeks; whoever misses out is offered a priority seat in the next cohort.

Who leads it
One lecturer for all eight weeks
My name is Marek Rohon. For nine years I automated tests in large companies as a senior engineer. Today I build AI agents for people who don’t have the time to learn it on their own. Karol Umelý is my agent, and this site is his home.
Every lecture, every office hour and every hour of 1:1 is led by me. I will not pass you on to anyone, and nobody else answers you in Slack.
I build agents the way you will build them: on your own server, with a memory you can read, and with jobs that can be proven.
After week eight
The agent is yours and keeps running
The cohort ends, the agent does not. It runs on your server, the guides in the member area stay open for twelve months from the start, and the 90-day plan says what to add next.
Whoever wants to carry on with new jobs for the agent, and a place to ask at every step of a guide, has the Club for that. It is not part of the cohort and you do not have to join it.
Questions
What companies ask before applying
+–Does our person have to know how to program?
No. No programming is needed. Every step has the exact command to copy, and we go through it together in the 1:1 hour. It is enough that they do not mind copying a command into the terminal from the guide.
+–How much time does it take each week?
The academy day is one hour of lecture. Add the office hours in Slack, the 1:1 call and your own work on the agent. Count on five to six hours a week.
+–Where does the agent run and who sees our data?
On a server your company rents and controls. The documents and the agent’s memory stay with you. What must never leave the company is set as a rule in week three. The agent calls AI models through OpenRouter, models of your choice; what it sends them is up to you.
+–What is not included in the price?
The server and the use of AI models. You pay them directly to the providers, pay-per-use. We go through their current price lists in the first week so you know what to expect.
+–What language is the cohort in?
The lectures and the 1:1 calls are live in Slovak; the office hours run in Slack. The written guides in the member area are in English, with commands to copy; we go through them together.
+–What if more companies apply than there are seats?
The cohort has 10 seats. I review applications in the order they arrive, after a short call. Whoever misses out is offered a priority seat in the next cohort.
+–Can we cancel the application?
Until 31 December 2026 we refund the full amount. After that day there is no refund; a colleague from your company may take the seat instead.
+–Do we get a receipt for the company?
Yes. Payment goes through Stripe with your company’s details, including the company ID, and the receipt arrives by e-mail. We are not a VAT payer; the price is final.
+–What happens after week eight, even if the answer is no?
The agent is yours and keeps running. If you decide not to carry on, you hold the measured numbers and a basis for the decision. You have access to the guides for twelve months from the start. Whoever wants to carry on with new jobs, and a question at every step of a guide, has the Club.
+–Can more than one person from a company take part?
Yes, a small team. One seat is one person, because the 1:1 hour belongs to them; three people are three applications. After the short call, ask about a reduced price for another person from the same company. For a whole team at once there is the company workshop.
