Your personal setup

Your machine. Your agent.A personal start.

One-on-one setup and a conversation about what you want to build.

A one-on-one AI agent setup and goal discussion.
Your personal setup

One-on-one.
Built around your goals.

Our first class introduces the course, what we will learn, and the tools in your tech stack. You will start by understanding your AI workspace and what it can become.

After that class, we will schedule a one-on-one session before class two. We will talk through your goals, what you would like your agent to work on or automate, and a useful first problem to solve.

Together, we will set up your Virtual Private Server with its own agent and the tools to get it running. We will verify access and make sure you know how to get back into your workspace.

What you bring

A VPS you have purchased with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and your own ChatGPT Plus subscription at $20/month. Keep both active for the duration of the course. You purchase and pay for them separately from the course fee.

ChatGPT Plus does not include separately billed OpenAI API usage. If your workflow needs the API, any API charges are separate.

Between classes 1 and 2 · Scheduled individually

Meet one-on-one for SSH provisioning and a goal conversation. Verify access, talk through your project, and arrive at class two with a working learning environment, not a done-for-you business system.

  • Your supported environment, ready
  • One practical task to focus on
  • A plan for your first workflow

Meet the instructor

Julian Fitzpatrick.Built with an agent. Taught by a person.

Julian Fitzpatrick, your AI Agent Launchpad instructor

I’m Julian, founder of BuildWithPXL. My background is in engineering production pipelines for television, film, commercials, and game cinematics. I help people, software, and complicated processes work together.

Today, I run BuildWithPXL with an AI agent embedded in my infrastructure. Together, we build custom tools around clients' needs, connect client portals and databases, create custom tools, and transform human workflows into agent backed workflows.

During the course, I’ll take you inside that larger agent build. You’ll see how the pieces connect, how I use them to run the business, and where human review keeps important decisions in my hands.

You’ll start by building a custom agent tailored to your needs. Then you’ll have a foundation you can keep growing in the direction you choose.

Want to talk through whether Launchpad fits what you want to build? Reach out, I’m happy to chat and answer questions before the course begins.

The journey

From idea toyour first workflow.

Start with a task you repeat. Connect only the information and tools you choose. Keep important decisions in your hands.

Your idea

Choose a task and the result you want.

Your agent

Follows your instructions and uses what you connect.

Your documents · Approved tools

Prepared work

A draft or result ready for you to check.

Your review

Check it. Request changes. Approve when ready.

Not approved? It stays here.

Approved action

Take the agreed next step and record the result.

Illustrative learning flow. Connections and approval controls are configured during your build.

Knowledge and tools

Bring in what your agent needs.Not everything.

A person organizing knowledge and approved tools around an AI agent.

Learn how to organize approved documents, check answers against the source, and connect a tool with care. You will test small before relying on a bigger workflow.

Your project can start with organized files. A database is not required.

Human review stays visible

Put it to work.Stay in control.

A person reviewing work prepared by an AI agent before taking action.

Build a repeatable workflow that prepares work and asks for your approval before important actions. A lead workflow, for example, can prepare a draft, but never auto-approve sending.
