This 1-hour Stanford lecture on Agentic AI covers exactly what you need to become an AI automation builder

tool calling, multi-step workflows, planning, reflection — the foundations behind every automation system that actually works

most people learn this by copying Make and n8n tutorials..

Stanford teaches it by showing you WHY agents work the way they do

watch it first. then go through my practical tasks below

9 real projects across 2 weeks: APIs, webhooks, LLM integration, AI workflows

no theory. just build

you'll understand 10x more than everyone grinding tutorials blindly

bookmark this. seriously. do it THIS WEEKEND

P.S. I'm dropping practical tasks for every week if this gets enough feedback

@group1autouk Your approach to GDPR is fascinating. Why do people need to provide EXTRA contact details to you - to opt out of a marketing list you signed them up to without permission ? Do Audi approve of your marketing ?

[Dr Alex Connock @DrAlexConnock]

@group1autouk Is your enforced unsolicited marketing with impossible opt out GDPR compliant ? Why offer a STOP alternative if you won’t allow it ?
