You cannot automate a mess.
You can only run it faster.
Write down how the work really runs, then hand one step to an agent. Any model or platform can run on that document. 20 lessons, 9 printables.
12 agents. Zero process.
Total chaos.
A friend texted me. He runs ops at a growing tech company. "We just put 12 AI agents on our onboarding flow. It's a mess. Can you take a look?"
I asked one question: "Can you send me how the onboarding process works today? The written version."
Long pause. "What do you mean by 'the written version'?"
That was the answer. I didn't need to look at the agents.
Welcome emails to the wrong customers. Accounts provisioned twice. VIP signups routed to a folder nobody read. An agent offering discounts the company never approved.
Three months of operation. A painful number of refunds.
The model was fine. The agents were fine. The problem was that nobody had ever written down how the business actually works. This course teaches you how to write it.
Process first. Agent second.
Always.
Five modules: three to get the process on paper, two to hand it to an agent and make it scale.
The Empty Doc
The 12-agent failure, the folklore your business runs on, and a 60-second test that shows how much of your process exists only in people’s heads.
Understanding the Mess
Why your process was never written down, the three kinds of process knowledge (explicit, implicit, tribal), and what happens when Sofia takes a day off.
Writing the Process
Pick one workflow. Sit with the people who actually do the work. Write it for a new hire with zero context, find where the disagreements live, then test it with a human before any agent touches it.
From Document to Agent
The document becomes the AI OS layer. One agent, at the clearest step with the lowest stakes. The Trust Ladder for how it earns autonomy, and the Prove-Then-Automate Protocol, which ends with your Automation Blueprint.
Scaling and Close
Two teams that applied the method, how to build a process-first culture, and the capstone: one real workflow, documented end to end, with its Automation Blueprint.
Hi, I'm Charafeddine.
I led AI rollouts for 4,000+ employees and have shipped 60+ AI systems. I'm an AI scientist and a professor, and I've trained 200+ professionals live since 2023.
900 onboardings in one week. Two agents. Zero refunds. The team spent two weeks doing nothing but writing the process. Every rule. Every threshold. Every Friday quirk. By the end of week two, the doc was 22 pages. Ugly. Dense. Honest. We handed it to two of the original agents and ran them on a backlog. Same agents. Same models. Totally different result.
You won't practice alone.
The course opens three months in the Engine Room, Cohorte's community of people who use AI at work every day. They bring real problems, compare what worked, and keep the method sharp long after the last lesson.
People doing the same work.
Operators, engineers, analysts and managers, from bootcamp alumni to course buyers. Ask how someone applied a lesson, compare notes, find who has already solved your problem.
Live, every other Monday.
An open Q&A on Zoom at 18:00 Paris time with Charafeddine, who teaches the course. Bring the prompt that disappointed you or the decision you're stuck on. Can't make it? Leave your question in the thread.
The Helpdesk.
Post a real question from your work. Charafeddine answers in writing, members add what worked for them, and every answer stays searchable for the next person.
You don't. The training rewarded it for agreeing with you. … Generate in one session, judge in a separate one, and ban “is this good?” as a prompt.

- 20 lessons across 5 modules, about 2.5 hours of video
- 9 printables, from the 5-step methodology to the process template, the interview guide and the Human Test protocol
- The capstone: one real workflow, documented end to end, with its Automation Blueprint
- What's the methodology, in plain terms?
- Document the process before you build the agent, in five steps: pick one workflow, sit with the people who actually do it, write it for a new hire, resolve the disagreements, and test it with a human. Then, and only then, hand one step to an agent. Process first, agent second, always.
- Is this just a set of videos?
- No. 20 lessons across 5 modules, about 2.5 hours of video, and 9 printable resources, from the 5-step methodology to the Human Test protocol. And the course opens 3 months in the Engine Room, where you work alongside people doing the same thing.
- What is the Engine Room?
- Cohorte's members-only community, included for 3 months with the course. Inside: the members, alumni and course buyers who use AI at work every day; a live Q&A on Zoom with Charafeddine every other Monday at 18:00 Paris time; and the Helpdesk, where he and members answer questions in writing. After three months, staying is optional: €29 a month or €249 a year.
- Is this a no-code course?
- Yes. The course is about writing the process and preparing it for an agent. It doesn't need code or any particular automation tool. Module 3 ends with an Automation Blueprint you can hand to whoever builds the automation.
- What do I leave with?
- One real workflow, documented end to end and tested with a human, plus an Automation Blueprint for the one step an agent should take first: the clearest one, with the lowest stakes.
- How is this different from a generic “AI strategy” course?
- This course teaches you to write the document that becomes the spec for any agent you deploy.
- I'm a solo founder. Does this still apply?
- Yes. The methodology scales down to one person. The folklore problem (everyone has a different version of the workflow) exists even in your own head when you've done a task 200 different ways. The process document fixes that for solo operators too.
- How long will it take?
- About 2.5 hours of video, plus the written lessons. Then one to two weeks of fieldwork to run the method on one of your real workflows. The work happens off-screen.
- Can my company pay for this?
- Yes. Email [email protected] with your company's details and we send a quote and an invoice. Bank transfer accepted.
- What's the refund policy?
- €97 courses are non-refundable once you open the course. Unopened, they are refundable in full within 14 days of purchase. Priced low on purpose. Technical issues with access? Email us and we'll fix them.
