Josh Tindell | Client Partner | @Tonic
It's been a great experience on the bootcamp and I've learnt so much in such a short space of time. It's hard doing something like this on top of a full time job and two boys under 5, but the perseverance and hard work has paid off and I'm so chuffed!
So what did the last 6 weeks look like... I built 15x Agents from scratch using models like Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT, which addressed different business/process challenges. I designed and deployed these workflow automations to generate blog posts from web pages, schedule news updates straight into my inbox, and lots more!

Making Noise - Social Mentions from the Community
Alexis Marin | Lead Data Analyst | @ The AES Corporation
When I first cracked open the course, I thought: Alright, this looks easy enough. Fast forward three weeks and I was locked in a debate with my own AI agent about why it kept spitting out the wrong results. The AI won. 51 times in the last project… But somewhere in the back-and-forth of debugging, rebuilding, and redefining what patience actually means I leveled up. So here I am… Certified. Smarter. And just a little more humble.
Shilpa Shastri | Principal Product Manager | @ IBM (Apptio)
It was inspiring to see how Mindstudio has built a platform that empowers non-technical users to design and deploy their own AI agents across many practical use cases like deep research, content generation and way more, using Claude, GPT or other LLMs.
Sasha Rappaport | Senior Customer Success Manager | @ Atlassian
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to dive deep into an Agentic AI workshop led by the incredible MindStudio team. It was an intensive, hands-on learning experience that gave me new insights and perspectives that I’m already applying to my work! Some of my biggest takeaways and learnings included: Engineering better prompts to leverage LLMs for more precise, actionable results. Understanding Agentic Workflows in order to create agents that help streamline and automate complex processes.
