Build Your Own Competitive Research Agent
SESSION GUIDE: https://www.lelandcourses.com/ai-builder/competitive-research-agent/ Competitive research is the thing you do once, mean to update, and then never touch again until your CEO asks for it on a Tuesday morning. By then it's six months old, and your competitors have shipped three more things. In this exclusive AI Builder session, D'Aaron Gonzalez will walk you step by step through building a competitive research agent powered by Claude, one that pulls from public sources, tracks your competitors over time, and keeps the picture fresh without the manual lift. By the end of the hour you'll have a working agent ready to put to work the next morning. But the research agent is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to turn any "I should keep tabs on this" task into something AI does for you, on a schedule. First competitors. Next industry news, regulatory changes, your customers' product launches, your own pipeline. Same skill, different shape. D'Aaron builds with AI for a living. Now he'll do it with you. Open exclusively to AI Builder Program members.
Build a Cold Outbound Email Agent
SESSION GUIDE: https://www.lelandcourses.com/ai-builder/cold-outbound-email-agent/ The math of cold outbound never quite works. A genuinely personalized email takes twenty minutes. A templated one gets a one percent reply rate. Either way, you're losing time. In this exclusive AI Builder session, Jonathan McLemore will walk you step by step through building a cold outbound email agent powered by Claude, one that researches every prospect on your lead list, writes a personalized first-touch email for each, and queues them up for you to review before sending. By the end of the hour you'll have a working agent ready to put to work the next morning. But the email agent is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to turn a one-off chat with AI into a repeatable system that processes an entire list the same way, every time. First outbound. Next a lead qualification agent, a customer research bot, a weekly report that writes itself. Same skill, different shape. Jonathan builds AI automations for sales teams as the founding solutions engineer at Plinko Solutions. He's done this for a living. Now he'll do it with you. Open exclusively to AI Builder Program members.
