Practical how-to guides to build and manage your own AI agents

Welcome

I'm Michael, founder of GetOn and co-founder of Elah. When I became a dad in 2024, I had to rethink how I work. The AI tools I'd been experimenting with since 2023 became essential.

Creating courses and marketing content for GetOn used to take days. With AI, I produced the same quality in a fraction of the time, when every hour counted.

That changed how I work. AI isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's how I run my business, build my products, and free up time for what matters.

That extra time meant more hours with my family, and the space to build something my wife and I care about: Elah.

Elah is an AI life coach that listens to your personal and professional goals, clarifies what matters, and helps you follow through. A few years ago, an app like this would have taken 6+ months and a full team. AI changed that.

Building all this taught me a skill that's becoming universal: building and managing AI agents. That's what this site teaches – through practical how-to guides that take you from your first prompt to running your own agents.

Who this is for

If you're on a similar path, this site is for you. You're an entrepreneur or on a small team, building with lean resources – you can't hire for every role, so you take on whatever the work needs. Or you're a knowledge worker who wants to offload repetitive tasks and expand what you can do alone.

What connects you isn't a job title – it's the need to get more done with AI, and the willingness to learn how. You learn by doing and don't wait for permission. You're already experimenting with AI tools, or you know you should be.

Your expertise still defines your work. What's new is the skill on top of it: building the agents your work needs. Master that craft, and you're no longer limited to one domain.

Your goal is to work smarter, not longer, and you want practical systems that give you back hours, not more theory.

Why now

Here's what you know but haven't said out loud: AI is already changing how we work. Anthropic's latest research confirms it. Jobs with tasks AI can handle are projected to grow slower through 2034, and the effect is already visible.

Since ChatGPT launched, 14% fewer young workers are entering these roles. This isn't a future scenario – it's happening right now.

Roles aren't disappearing overnight; they're shifting. The tasks you do daily – writing emails, drafting reports, planning, preparing presentations – are ones AI excels at.

Professionals who work with AI will become more versatile and harder to replace. Those who don't will fall behind.

The question isn't whether AI will change your work, but whether you'll direct that change or risk being replaced by someone who does.

What you'll get

You'll get practical, step-by-step guidance – no fluff or theory, just proven approaches to work smarter.

After more than a decade in digital product development, I've learned that success isn't about luck. It's about building the right systems and acting when it matters. That's what's happening with AI right now.

Everything here is a how-to guide: a detailed, step-by-step tutorial for completing one specific task with AI.

Where to start

The skills matter more than the tool. Prompting, context, automation, agents – these transfer to any AI, so you're never locked into one vendor. In practice, though, you have to learn on something real. So I focus on the two most capable and accessible tools today – Claude and ChatGPT/Codex – and offer a course for each. When a better tool comes along, what you learn here carries over.

Each course follows the same path: from your first prompt to running your own agents. It moves through four stages that build on each other: prompt engineering, context engineering, automation, and agents. Every stage is a series of how-to guides. Follow them in order, or dip into the one you need. Pick the tool you use and start with prompt engineering:

Pricing

The prompt engineering guides are free. Beyond that, membership is €99 a month, or €999 a year, two months free.

Most professionals can cover this through their education budget. Entrepreneurs can deduct it from taxes.

I believe in paying it forward. If you've lost your job or are facing financial difficulties, reach out. We'll work something out.

My site isn't about theoretical frameworks. It's practical systems from someone walking the same path.

Kind regards,

Michael Lek
