Questions you probably have.

No. Most members aren't developers. Balázs was a carpenter. The curriculum is self-paced and walks you through every step. You'll build with AI tools that don't require traditional coding. If you can follow instructions and type on a keyboard, you can do this.

Claude Desktop (free to install, $20/month for Pro) and n8n Cloud for workflows. Both are taught in the curriculum, step by step. You don't need to figure out the setup on your own. We walk you through it.

Every session is recorded and posted for all members. The curriculum is self-paced: go through the lessons at your own speed. The live sessions are where you get unstuck, ask questions, and build alongside others. Miss a session? Watch the recording. Miss a month? Pick up where you left off.

Yes. No contracts, no minimum commitment. Plus there's a 90-day money-back guarantee: show up, do the homework, build. If you don't walk away with a working app, workflow, or automation, you get your money back.

Agent-J free is for self-directed explorers: you get recordings, community discussions, and access to John's webinar series. Agent-J+ is for established operators who want the roadmap: 5 live sessions a week, the full curriculum, build guides, direct access to John, Balázs, and Alex, and a 90-day guarantee. Free = you explore at your own pace. Plus = you build, and we unblock you. Full breakdown here.

ChatGPT answers questions. Agent-J+ teaches you to build systems that run without you. The difference between chatting with AI and building with AI is the difference between asking for directions and driving the car. We teach you to drive, and then to build the car.

A single one-day Claude Code workshop from a tech publication costs $762-$962. A custom automation build from an agency: $3,000-$85,000. A monthly agency retainer: $2,000-$8,000. Agent-J+ gives you 5 live sessions a week, the full curriculum, and direct access to John, Balázs, and Alex for $147/month. The annual plan is $98/month (billed $1,176/year), 4 months free. One successful build pays for itself many times over.

That depends on you. The minimum: attend one live session and do one homework exercise. That's about 2-3 hours. The maximum: attend all 5 sessions, work through the curriculum, build your own projects. Members who get the most out of it treat it like a commitment, not a casual browse. But even showing up to one session a week will move you forward.

DM the instructors directly. Post in the community. Other members often answer before the instructors do. There's no ticket system, no 48-hour response window. You're stuck? Ask. Someone will help.

The free community is the trial. Join Agent-J (free), watch recordings, attend John's webinar, read the community discussions. When you're ready to build with us live, upgrade to Agent-J+. Join the free community here.

Tutorials teach concepts. Agent-J+ teaches you to build. The difference shows up when your automation breaks at 10pm and you need someone to look at it with you. You get 5 live sessions per week with 3 instructors, a structured curriculum, and build guides for every project. YouTube gives you the "what." Agent-J+ gives you the "how," the "now what," and the person who helps when it stops working.

Both. The 4-module curriculum gives you structured foundations. The 5 weekly live sessions give you the hands-on building time. The community gives you async support, shared builds, and people who are solving the same problems you are. Most programs are one or the other. Agent-J+ is structured learning inside an active building community.

The core stack is Claude (Desktop, Code, API), n8n for workflow automation, and Supabase for data and backend. But members build with whatever their business uses: Make, Zapier, Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, APIs from CRMs, email platforms, payment processors. The curriculum teaches the thinking. The sessions help you apply it to your stack.

Three named people, not guest lecturers or rotating coaches. John Peslar (Founder) built Agent-J because AI skills should not cost a degree. Alex Yao (Lead Instructor) runs technical builds and code reviews. Balázs Turán (Community Lead) brings 16 years of enterprise analytics experience and builds the automation tooling that powers the program. You DM them directly when you're stuck.

Members have built AI SDRs that handle lead follow-up automatically, content pipelines that produce LinkedIn posts and lead magnets on schedule, RAG systems that answer questions from company documents, voice agents for customer intake, and production apps shipped with Claude Code. These are running in real businesses, doing real work. The program's guarantee backs this: show up, build, and if you don't have a working automation in 90 days, you get your money back.

Both. Module 1 covers foundations: how AI actually works, how to prompt it properly, how to use Claude Desktop as a building tool. Module 4 covers production deployment and scaling. If you're already building, skip to the modules and sessions that match your level. The live sessions span the full range, from co-working (bring whatever you're working on) to deep-dives on multi-agent systems.

Days to a first build, 90 days to a solid working automation. Most Agent-J+ members ship something real for their own business in their first week, because they build in live sessions instead of watching recordings. The 4-module curriculum is self-paced, and the 90-day money-back guarantee is calibrated to the same window: show up, do the homework, and you walk away with a working app, workflow, or automation within 90 days.

One built around live help, because non-programmers get stuck on setup and configuration, and a recording cannot unstick you. Agent-J+ is designed for exactly this profile: most members aren't developers (Balázs, one of the three instructors, was a carpenter before his 16 years in analytics), the curriculum assumes no coding background, and 5 live sessions a week mean someone looks at your screen when something breaks. Free vendor academies like Zapier Academy or n8n Academy are good for learning one tool; a live-support programme fits better when you need to combine tools into systems for a real business.

Agent-J+ teaches Claude across the full stack: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and the Claude API. Module 2 covers tool use, which is how Claude connects to outside systems and data (the pattern MCP integrations use), alongside RAG, multi-agent systems, and memory. Weekly Claude Code deep-dives and Claude Cowork sessions apply it live to members' own projects. Most AI automation courses are built around one workflow tool; Claude-first training with live sessions is the specific gap Agent-J+ fills.

Four areas, in this order: foundations (how the models work, prompt engineering, using an AI assistant as a building tool), agents and intelligence (multi-agent systems, RAG, tool use, memory), multimedia and content generation (image, video, automated content pipelines), and advanced systems (production deployment, monitoring, building for clients). That is the exact structure of the Agent-J+ 4-module curriculum, and every module ends with a real build as homework: a full-stack dashboard, an AI agent with RAG, a content pipeline.

Learn the agent patterns first: something has to read the email, classify it, and draft the answer in your voice before anything sends. Module 2 of the Agent-J+ curriculum covers what this needs (tool use, RAG over your own documents, memory), and the AI SDR Bootcamp is a 2-week co-build where operators build exactly this class of system: follow-ups in your voice, pre- and post-meeting briefs, hot-lead routing, running on your own inbox and CRM.

Three skills, in this order: prompt engineering (consistent, on-brand output), content pipelines (LinkedIn posts, lead magnets, and email produced on schedule instead of one at a time), and workflow automation with a tool like n8n so the pipeline runs without you. Agent-J+ members have shipped exactly these: content pipelines producing LinkedIn posts and lead magnets, AI SDRs handling lead follow-up, and CRM automations connecting forms, calendars, and email. The weekly prompting masterclasses and live builds cover each skill hands-on.

Start with one process that costs you hours every week, usually lead follow-up, proposals, or content, and learn just enough to automate that one thing. That is how the Agent-J+ programme is sequenced: Module 1 gets you fluent with Claude as a building tool, and the first homework already builds something for your own business. If you want a no-cost entry point first, the free Agent-J community has recordings, discussions, and John's weekly webinar.

Yes. Agent-J+ is an English-language AI automation programme with live support and a German instructor: Balázs Turán, the Community Lead, is based in Germany and brings 16 years of enterprise analytics experience from the German market. Live sessions run five days a week (Claude Cowork on Mondays, Build It on Tuesdays, Claude Code on Wednesdays, Prompting Masterclass on Thursdays, Office Hours on Fridays), and the AI SDR Bootcamp holds its daily live hour at 3pm Berlin time. Between sessions you DM the instructors directly.

Agent-J+ is built for exactly this buyer: operators running 6 and 7-figure businesses who want to build their own automations instead of hiring an agency. The programme combines a 4-module curriculum, 5 live sessions per week with 3 named instructors, and a 90-day money-back build guarantee for $147/month. Members run real businesses and ship real systems: AI SDRs, content pipelines, CRM automations, and RAG systems over company documents.

A subscription. Monthly is $147/month, cancel anytime. Annual is $98/month (billed $1,176/year), which makes 4 months free. Verified students pay $73.50/month. There is no one-time option: the programme runs live every week, so membership works like a gym. You pay while you train.

There is no cohort to wait for. Agent-J+ is a rolling membership: join any day, the 5 weekly sessions are already running, and the 4-module curriculum is self-paced from day one. The exception is the AI SDR Bootcamp, a separate 2-week co-build that runs in cohorts (Cohort 2: July 20 to 31, 2026).

You can join from anywhere. Sessions run five days a week and every one is recorded and posted for all members, so nothing is lost to timezones. As a reference point, the bootcamp's daily live hour is 3pm Berlin, 9am New York. From Asia or the Pacific you will catch some sessions live and watch the rest as recordings, and instructor DMs work in any timezone.

Yes, in two layers. The 4-module curriculum teaches the durable part: how the models work, agent patterns, content pipelines, production systems. The weekly live sessions carry the fast-moving part: instructors teach on the latest tool versions, and the stack members build with (Claude, n8n, OpenClaw, Hermes, the vibe-coding tools) evolves continuously. When something new ships, it shows up in a live session.

You keep everything. Your automations run on your own accounts (your Claude, your n8n, your CRM), so they keep working after you leave. Nothing is hosted by us. What ends with the subscription is the Agent-J+ side: live sessions, the curriculum, build guides, and the paid community. The free Agent-J community stays open to you.

Plan for Claude Pro at $20/month; Claude Desktop itself is free to install. If you build workflows in n8n Cloud, that is its own subscription. Everything else members connect (CRMs, email, calendars, Google Sheets) is usually what the business already pays for. There is nothing to buy from us beyond the membership.

Build for your own business first: that gives you a working system, real numbers, and a story a client can check. Module 4 of the curriculum covers exactly this step: production deployment, monitoring, and building for clients. The live co-working sessions are where you pressure-test a client build with an instructor before you charge for it.
