CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry
The last few emails I've shared my discoveries with AI and how I've taken things to the next level, and now I'm ready to share more with you.
Introducing Agentic AI & Claude Code, a course/program designed to help you reach new levels with AI through agents, automation, security checks, and deterministic verification. Beginner friendly even if you haven't worked with agents before.
I'll take you from AI toddler to professional and show you exactly how I'm using agents to:
run my app dev,
increase the quality of my products,
organize my operations,
and save me HUNDREDS of hours of time.
Two common misconceptions about AI:
Using AI = vibe coding. Nah, I want to have a deep understanding of my app, it's architecture, and how things work.
AI actually slows you down = The reality is that you're probably using it wrong and once you reach any mid size project with AI things collapse. I'll show you how to fix that so you can build like you have a full team working for you.
Here's a visual of the progression to mastering AI:
I've focused on 3 different angles that stack on each other:
AI as an operator
AI as a builder
AI for business
Essentially we start with the tools available to us. we first learn how to be a rockstar with Claude Code. Skills, sub agents, dedicated knowledge vault, permissions, self-improving AI, best practices, etc.
Then, if you're wanting to build with Claude Code I'll show my exact process. This is when we talk about autonomous agents and how to do things safely (even if you want to use dangerously-skip-permissions). The last thing you want is AI to destroy real work. So how do we get agents to work for hours without risk?
In this builder section we build on what we learned. We'll also look at how to transform LLM intuition in to preservable rules that are required to be followed in projects (not just repeating the same instructions hoping the AI listens). This can allow us to have better quality work as we grow, not worse (a very common challenge going from prototype to real product).
Bonus: The builder program includes 2x 1:1 calls if desired to help you get the most of the program. The first to kick things off and the second near the end to confirm your progress and help you plan your next move.
The landing page gives the high level and I'll be sharing additional details throughout this week.
This week only you will get the BEST pricing, so join in while you can. Any questions or concerns? Just send me an email.
1:1 AI Business Mentorship
Finally, for those of you wanting to go to the next level with AI in the business world, we can work 1:1 and I'll act as your guide, helping you build out AI systems customized for your biz. Level 3 is not for everyone,I wouldn't even CONSIDER It unless you already have an online business, operation, coaching, or content business. I don't recommend it for you if you're looking to build your skills just as a software dev, so you can safely ignore it.
In the 1:1 mentoring I'll show you how I run things but most importantly I'll help you personally implement AI systems and automation in your business. This will allow you to save a ton of time, centralize all of your work in to one location, and sell online. Consider this heavily if you are ready to make something and need some advising so you're not learning the hard way. I'm only selling 5 spots (and that's a legit maximum not a marketing gimmick btw).
CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry AI should be used to achieve an outcome, that's what I care about. Agentic AI is a tool that can be used to achieve better outcomes faster and also achieve more predictable results. I think devs believe that AI is mostly hype, but even the big dawgs are adopting it for majority of their development. Google is said to have 75% of its new code generated by AI. That's actually pretty insane to think about considering a few years ago the landscape was totally...
CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry Today I'm wrapping up some content I've been working on and announcing something new. As a background, I created some content around AI for software engineers. I couldn't finish the final section because I had a blocker...My goal? Utilize AI to launch a product and business that was high quality and profitable. The problem was scope creep...what started as an idea to launch a quick simple app on the app store turned in to a full blown platform that has taken...
CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry Over the last 6+ months I have been building with agents, and the way I use AI today is drastically different than when I first started using AI when ChatGPT came out and then eventually trying out agentic development At first, I felt I had to try to use an LLM whenever I could...forcing myself to use an AI even though I knew traditional approaches worked just fine. I had to figure out what the AI hype was all about, so I started using AI as the solution to...
