AI Automation Without Code

Automate real work with AI — the trigger→action shape, connectors & MCP, and when to use a workflow, an AI agent, or RPA. Build reliable automations that run on autopilot.

"Triage every support email into strict JSON, route it, and pause the risky ones for a human"

4 Interactive Sessions

Short, interactive sessions: watch it work, try it, then build it yourself. You can go deeper at any time in the written chapters.

  1. 1

    When this happens, do that

    Every automation is a trigger and an action. With AI, the action can read, decide and write, and you set it up without code.

  2. 2

    How AI connects to your tools

    The AI can decide and write, but it cannot touch your tools until you connect it. MCP is a shared standard that makes one connection work for many AI apps.

  3. 3

    Workflow, agent or RPA: picking the right one

    There are three ways to automate: fixed workflows, AI agents and RPA. The skill is matching each task to the right one.

  4. 4

    Build an automation you can leave running

    Put it together: pick the trigger, choose the approach, write the AI action, and make it safe to run when nobody is watching.

How this certificate is scored

Your certificate shows how many of your written answers met the rubric below, checked by an AI grader. Anyone who checks your certificate sees it.

  • You answer 6 short questions, one for each module, in your own words (at least 40 words each).
  • An AI grader checks each answer against what its module asks for: it must answer the question, use the course's practice case specifically, and be correct.
  • To pass, at least 5 of the 6 answers must meet that bar. The certificate says the answers were graded by AI.

The rubric

  1. Module 1, Automation Thinking: Ranked task audit + the shape (workflow/agent/RPA) each task wants.
  2. Module 2, Triggers, Actions & the AI Action: A triage AI action returning strict, wireable JSON.
  3. Module 3, Connectors & MCP: How AI reaches your tools — APIs, webhooks, connectors, MCP.
  4. Module 4, Workflows, Agents & RPA: Each task matched to the right automation approach.
  5. Module 5, Building Reliable Automations: No-code tools + human-in-the-loop, validation, logging.
  6. Module 6, Your Automation: A deployable automation spec + working AI action.
