Why a quarter’s work now fits in a week.

Most of a quarter goes to work that waits on people: research, first drafts, analysis, reviews and the handoffs between them. AI agents now do that work in hours, and it is good enough to review and approve.

The usual way13 weeks

With agents1 week

A quarter is 13 weeks. You plan the project in one live hour, then agents do the work and you approve each deliverable.

Where the quarter goes

Weeks of research, drafts and analysis, and more weeks waiting at every handoff between the people doing them.

What agents change

Agents do the research, the drafting and the analysis in hours, and each piece is checked before it reaches you.

What stays with you

Every decision. You choose the approach, approve each deliverable as it is finished and own the result.

Who runs the workshop?

One of our Humans+Agents experts, from our network of 120 licensed consultants in seven countries. Meet the network

What do I bring?

One real project, and the AI your company already uses: Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot.

How does the guarantee work?

If you want your money back, ask within seven days of the workshop and we will refund it in full. That gives you the week to see the project run.

Do I need technical skills?

No. You make the decisions about your project, and the agents do the research, the writing, the analysis and the building.

What happens after the workshop?

The agents work through the plan in your own AI, and you approve each deliverable as it is finished. If you then want your whole team working this way, that is what the Peer Group and the Academy are for.

A community of executives learning to lead with AI.

Executives from different companies meet live, three weeks each month, to work out how to lead with AI. Each session starts with one new experiment from a company run at the frontier of what AI can do. Then the group takes over. Between sessions, a ten-minute lesson arrives each morning.

Steve Cunningham

Founder of Humans+Agents, and the AI futurist in the group. He runs the company at the frontier of what is possible with AI, and brings one experiment from it each week.

Thursdays at 3 p.m. Central

Thirty minutes, one call per week, three weeks each month.

Between sessions: a ten-minute lesson every morning.

Each morning you get a ten-minute video that teaches one framework from one of the world’s best business books. A framework is a method you can run, such as a set of questions for making a decision. Each lesson comes with a ready-to-run deck, so you can use the framework with your own team on a decision you face together.

TuesdayStrategyWhere you compete, and how you win.
WednesdaySalesPipeline, deals and the conversations that close them.
ThursdayCyber DefenseKeeping the company safe as AI spreads through it.
FridayMarketingThe buyers you want, and how you reach them.
SaturdayInnovation & GrowthWhat you sell next, and where growth comes from.
SundayProductivity, Habits & MindsetYour own growth, and your team’s.

The lessons follow seven tracks, one for each day of the week, so you see the best ideas across the whole business as well as in the function you lead. Important new books are added as they come out.

Every lesson shows one framework three ways.

Pre-AI: run the framework the way the book describes. AI Arbitrage: get the same result faster with AI. AI-Native: redesign the work around what AI makes possible. Watch one lesson to see all three.

Three results you can show.

Each way of running a framework pays off in a different number.

Lower expenses

The AI Arbitrage way gets the work you already do done faster and cheaper, and you can put a number on it.

More revenue

The AI-Native approach helps you test offers and services your team couldn’t deliver before.

Faster growth

Starting with your own. You learn every day and practice every week, and within a year you understand how AI changes every function of the business.

We’re already doing this inside companies.

Over twenty years, we’ve trained more than 100,000 leaders, at some of the world’s largest companies. In the last three years alone, we’ve trained more than 10,000 leaders, from more than 1,000 companies, to use AI productively. Fortune 500 leadership development programs use the same microlearning library and workshop system.

The questions leaders ask before they join.

Straight answers on cost, time and what you need to start.

When does the Peer Group meet?

The Peer Group meets on Thursdays at 3 p.m. Central, one call per week for three weeks each month. Each session is thirty minutes. It starts with one new AI experiment from inside Humans+Agents, then the group works through questions together in one room. All 36 sessions are included.

What does it cost?

$1,000 a leader, a year. For a whole team, company pricing is available on request.

Who is it for?

Leaders who want to become AI-Native leaders: people who understand how to apply the best business frameworks with AI across every function of a business, and can show the results.

What is the AI Action Class?

It’s a workshop you run with your own team, using the ready-to-run deck that comes with every lesson. Your team applies the day’s framework to a decision you face together.

Do I need to know AI already?

No. Each lesson starts with the framework run the way the book describes, then shows the AI Arbitrage and AI-Native ways step by step.

Can the leaders I work with join too?

Yes. Each leader joins with their own work email, and company pricing is available on request.

Is there anything else to buy?

No. The Peer Group stands on its own. If you later want to bring this to everyone at your company, with their agents, on your own company’s work, that is the AI-Native Executive Academy, on the next tab.

Join the AI-Native Executive Peer Group.

Each promise has a date and a way to check it.

Productivity in a week
In the first week, you finish real work with agents on your own process, and each piece is graded against a written list of checks.
Week 13
P&L impact in a quarter
You pick one number on your P&L, put the gap in dollars, and read the same number again within the quarter to see the change.
Week 52
Enterprise value increase in a year
A company is valued as a multiple of what it earns, so a year of documented P&L gains raises what your company is worth.

The questions leaders ask before they start.

Straight answers on levels, time and what your company keeps.

Who is this for?

Leaders who want to lead AI inside their own company, in any function. If your CEO is looking for the person who can use AI and agents to improve the business and prove it with numbers, this trains you to be that person.

How much time does a Black Belt take?

About nine hours. Each of the nine steps takes about an hour: around ten minutes of content, then the work itself. It is self-paced, so you fit the steps around your week.

How long does a course take?

Each lesson starts with a video of about five minutes. Then you do the work on your own company and hand in the proof. The AI Executive Black Belt has nine sessions, and your first graded work arrives in the first week.

Do I need technical skills?

No. You work in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot, and each Apply step gives you one prompt that does the work. Agents do the heavy lifting, and you make the calls.

Does it work for a small company?

Yes. Every course runs on one real process in your own company, so it fits a company of any size. In a small company, the AI-Native Executive is often the owner, and Role is a good place to begin.

What’s the difference between Role, Function and Company?

Each level is priced per person, for a year, and each one includes everything below it. Role ($5,000) gives you the three role Black Belts, for doing your own work with AI and agents. Function ($10,000) adds the 13 function Black Belts, for leading any part of the company. Company ($20,000) adds the 13 Company Black Belts, the 12 value drivers and the Management OS, for running the whole company with agents. Company-wide pricing is available on request.

What does my company keep when a course ends?

The working agents, the finished deliverables and the context they run on. The next person, or the next course, starts from them, so the company’s capability compounds.

What does the credential prove?

Each course earns a credential named AI Black Belt in [capability], such as AI Black Belt in Marketing. You earn it on a real, assessed project on your own work, and Humans+Agents checks it and certifies you.

What an embedded AI-Native executive does.

Most companies know AI can do real work. What they lack is a senior person who knows which work to give it, can run it with agents, and can show the result on the P&L.

Advises your leaders

Which work to hand to agents, which number on your P&L to move first, and how to tell when it has moved.

Does the work with agents

Research, analysis, plans and documents, run with agents and checked before they reach you. Your leaders make every decision.

Leaves the capability behind

The agents, files and routines built for your company stay with your company, so your team can keep running them.

Three ways to work with us.

Start small with group coaching, take on one project, or bring in an executive for the long run.

How is this different from the AI-Native Executive Academy?

The Academy trains your own people to do the work with AI and agents. Services put one of our AI-Native executives to work beside them. Many companies start with one and add the other.

How is the work measured?

One number on your P&L, read before and after, in dollars. You agree on the number before the work starts.

What does my company keep?

The working agents, the finished deliverables and the facts they run on. They stay with your company when the engagement ends.

How do we start?

Book a call. We agree on the number you want to move and the way of working that fits, then your executive starts on real work.
