Me, You, and AI

 

Most people use AI to write emails. Almost nobody has built anything with it.

Section's 2026 proficiency study tested 5,000 knowledge workers: 73.5% are "Experimenters" who do one-off tasks, nothing built. Only 5.5% are practitioners. Fewer than 10% can even define what an AI agent is.

You're not behind because you're not smart enough. You're behind because nobody has ever sat you down and made you build one.

Sunday, you build one. Not a slide deck about agents. An actual agent, running on your laptop, doing your work, when you walk out of the room at 3:30.

The run of show:

1. Where you actually are — the 5% / 73.5% map, and the one skill that separates them · 15 min
2. Find your workflow — audit your week, pick the one task worth automating · 30 min
3. Build session 1: the brain — context, projects, memory. Why your outputs are generic and how to fix it · 45 min
4. Lunch + the room — food, adaptogenic drinks, 45 Toronto creators · 30 min
5. Build session 2: wire it up — your agent reads your email and runs your calendar. Live. · 45 min
6. Pick your track — creators: one asset → a week of content. Founders/freelancers: proposals, onboarding, invoicing · 20 min
7. Quality control — how to spot AI slop and what you must never automate · 20 min
8. Your next 8 — the use-case checklist that takes you from 3 hours saved a week to 8 · 20 min

Who's running it: Emanuel (Mano) Tsiris.

Mano is well respected in the world of AI with experience building start-ups, creating AI systems from scratch, and leading growth at AI companies in San Francisco. He built Argos, an agent that runs his email, calendar, memory and coaching in three weeks, and it gave him back most of his week. Most people teaching this have never shipped one.

What's included: lunch adaptogenic drinks from our vendors · a goodie bag · a take-home resource pack with every prompt, template and workflow from the day · the room.

Bring: a laptop. That's it.

Not for you if: you're already building agents in n8n or writing your own tools. This is for people who use ChatGPT and Claude and want to cross the line into building.

Founding Room — $50. Regular price $295. First cohort, 45 seats, and we ask for your honest feedback in exchange.

Our guarantee: if you're not getting value by the first break, tell us and we'll refund you on the spot.

Beyond the workshop, you'll spend the afternoon surrounded by ambitious creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are all building what's next.
