This whole document is from Class 1 of the AI Agents module, the introductory class, taught by Sir Tanveer Nandla and Sir Faheem Akhtar.

The module

  • AI Agents is a new module. It runs in parallel with the SEO module, and SEO carries on.
  • It covers vibe coding, agentic AI, LLM integration and more.
  • The instructor is Sir Faheem Akhtar. He has built workar.com end to end, built KWScanner, and has done dozens and dozens of projects.1

Why AI, and why now

  • SEO alone will not do the work any more. AI is a must; there is no getting by without it.
  • The era before 2023 was different. The era after 2023 is completely different: it is a completely new world.
  • Scope: this work will be useful in every business and every industry.1

Who it is for

  • This is not for everyone. It is only for a technical person.
  • It involves a lot of self study.
  • If you are good at maths, this is for you.1

The road to AI agents

AI agents are the highest stage. To get there, you will have to go through quite a few stages first.1

What to set up first

  1. Install an IDE (Cursor), Git and Python.
  2. Create a GitHub account.
  3. Take a $20 subscription to one of Cursor, Claude or ChatGPT.1
