https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3-hours-to-research-intelligence-build-your-first-ai-agent-tickets-2000234783081?discount=MEETUP&keep_tld=trueYou're either looking at a company to join, or you're trying to understand what your competitors are doing. Either way, you're researching blind—reading scattered reviews, googling company news, checking LinkedIn. It takes forever and you miss things.
Stop doing this manually.
In this workshop, you'll customize and deploy a working AI research agent in 3 hours. Fork an existing competitive intelligence agent, wire in your own data sources (RSS feeds, APIs, whatever's available), and run it. Feed it a company or industry keyword. Get back structured intelligence: recent news, hiring patterns, market positioning, gaps, red flags.
What you'll actually do:- Clone a working competitive intelligence agent from GitHub
- Add your own custom data sources (RSS feeds, open APIs, etc.)
- Test it live on a real company or competitor
- Walk away with a deployed agent you can run 100+ times
Two use cases, one agent:
- Job Seeker Mode — Research a company before you apply, interview, or accept an offer. Understand growth, hiring, leadership, red flags.
- Competitive Mode — Understand what competitors are doing, market gaps, hiring trends, strategic moves. For employees and side hustlers.
What you need before the workshop:
- 10 min of pre-work (optional, but recommended): Clone the GitHub repo, set up your API key, test it runs
- A laptop with a browser (Claude.ai)
- Basic comfort with Claude—you should already be asking it questions and iterating
After the workshop:
- Post-work recap doc: What you built, how to iterate, advanced techniques, troubleshooting
- Optional upsell: Advanced agent techniques course (separate paid offering)
This is NOT:
- A tutorial on "how to use AI"
- A guide to corporate strategy
- A tool for stalking or privacy violations (we cover ethical guardrails)
Price: $17–27 (one-time, includes materials + post-work doc)
Pre-work is optional. If you complete it, you'll hit the ground running. If you skip it, no problem—we'll set up during the first 20 minutes.3 attendees
90 Seconds to Sway Investors: Why Most Startup Pitches Lose Before Slide 4
·OnlineOnlineWhy early confusion breeds doubt — and a free AI Elevator Pitch Coach session for every attendee
After reviewing over 1,000 startup pitches, one pattern shows up more than any other: most investors are confused — not impressed, not skeptical, just confused — within the first two minutes. Not because the business is bad, but because the opportunity story hasn't been told clearly.
Investors walk into your pitch cold. They haven't read your deck or your background. The situation, problem, impact, and solution you lay out in the first few slides decides whether they lean in for the rest of the pitch — or quietly check out. Everything downstream depends on how well this gets told, and most founders never get the training to do it well.
In this free session, you'll learn:- Why the opportunity story is where most pitches fail first, and what the "Very Good" version looks like versus the "Terrible" one
- The four-part structure investors actually need: situation, problem, impact, solution
- A first look at our new AI Elevator Pitch Coach — built to give founders instant, structured feedback on just this opening story, before it ever reaches a real investor
- A quick overview of the Angel & VC Pitch Academy for founders who want to go deeper after this session
Every attendee gets one free session with the AI Elevator Pitch Coach to test and refine their own opportunity story. Try it now: https://bit.ly/4jxHkXL

The Market Reality
The 2026 hiring backdrop is cooler than payroll headlines suggest. Fewer job openings, longer feedback cycles, more competition per role. Which means if you get an interview, you can't afford to miss it. Chase
The Problem
Hiring managers have a problem: they need to reduce risk (hiring the wrong person) and build excitement (finding someone who'll succeed). Most interview advice teaches you to sound perfect, but perfect candidates sound identical. In a tighter market, that's a losing strategy.
The Framework
Job searching is risk mitigation + excitement building. This means:- Understanding why they're hiring and what actual risk they're trying to solve
- Knowing your question types (STAR, hypothetical, personality) and what each one is actually asking
- Positioning yourself as the answer to their specific problem, not just answering the question perfectly
- Standing out in a sea of candidates who sound interchangeable
You'll Learn
- How to decode what a hiring manager is really asking beneath the surface question
- How to structure answers that reduce their risk and build their confidence
- Why over-polished, AI-optimized answers fail (and what to do instead)
- How to use AI to prepare without sounding like you did
- How to tell stories that prove you can solve their specific problem
Who This Is For
- Job seekers getting interviews but not offers
- Professionals who feel their interviews aren't landing
- Anyone preparing for interviews and wondering why "perfect answers" aren't converting
Format
Framework + execution. You'll learn the structure, see examples of what works and what doesn't, and walk through how to adapt your approach to different question types and hiring contexts.2 attendees
