Build Agentic - The Black Badge Academy
We use these skills to run a studio. Now we teach them.
Build Agentic is our free community for learning practical AI skills: the prompt craft, agents, automations and AI-assisted development we use commercially every day at Black Badge. No fluff, no certificates for the wall, just skills that change what you can produce.

Curriculum
What you’ll learn
AI Fundamentals & Prompt Craft
How modern AI actually works, where it's strong, where it lies, and how to direct it like a professional. You'll go from typing questions to specifying work, the difference between a toy and a tool.
Building AI Agents
Design and build agents that hold real conversations and take real actions: WhatsApp assistants, support agents, internal copilots. Connected to actual systems, with the guardrails that keep them honest.
Workflow Automation
Turn repetitive business processes into pipelines that run themselves. Quotes, follow-ups, reports, document handling, built with the same automation stack we deploy for paying clients.
AI-Assisted Software Development
Ship real software with AI as your pair programmer. From idea to deployed product: modern web stacks, AI coding tools, databases and hosting. The way we build at Black Badge, taught openly.

Who it’s for
Operators, founders and career-builders who’d rather use the tool than fear it
