Your 6-Month Learning Roadmap

A structured, project-based curriculum — build real things while you learn, every single month.

Month 1

Get Your Foundation Right

  • Python basics — functional, not senior-level
  • How APIs work: HTTP, JSON, auth, webhooks
  • No-code tools: Make, n8n, or Zapier — go deep on one
  • Reading API docs and connecting two tools together
  • Basic prompt engineering: inputs, outputs, instructions
  • What LLMs are good at vs. what they're not
🔨 Your Project

Automate something in your own life with Make or n8n

Month 2

Master AI + Workflow Automation

  • OpenAI / Anthropic API basics & structured outputs
  • Embed AI into a workflow — not just ChatGPT manually
  • Function/tool calling: how AI decides what to do
  • Chaining: trigger → AI decision → action → output
  • Error handling and fallback logic
  • Cost awareness: tokens, API pricing, when AI is overkill
🔨 Your Project

AI workflow: reads an email, classifies it, routes it automatically

Month 3

Build the Core Automation Use Cases

  • Lead generation: scraping, enrichment, outreach sequencing
  • AI-powered cold outreach personalization at scale
  • CRM automation: auto-update fields, log calls, create tasks
  • Content pipelines: brief → draft → format → publish
  • Meeting automation: transcript → summary → CRM entry
  • Internal knowledge bots (Notion/Drive → Q&A interface)
🔨 Your Project

Full lead gen → outreach → CRM pipeline for a real or fake client

Month 4

AI Agents & Multi-Step Systems

  • What agents actually are — and what they're not
  • When to use agents vs. simple chains
  • Tool selection and routing logic
  • State management across multiple steps
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints
  • Multi-agent setups: when one agent hands off to another
🔨 Your Project

Support agent that handles tier-1 tickets, escalates edge cases, logs everything

Month 5

Make It Production-Ready & Sellable

  • Deploy workflows: n8n self-hosted, Make teams, FastAPI
  • Logging and observability — know when things break first
  • Prompt versioning: no random changes to live systems
  • Security: API keys, access control, no exposed credentials
  • Rate limits, retries, and graceful downtime handling
  • Document and hand off to non-technical clients
🔨 Your Project

Take a Month 3–4 build and make it client-ready with docs and monitoring

Month 6

Specialize, Get Clients, Start Charging

  • Pick a direction: Freelance, In-house, or Agency
  • Build 2–3 repeatable workflow templates
  • Write a simple case study for each
  • Outreach to SMBs, agencies, coaches, SaaS founders
  • Charge $500–2k/project, then move to retainers
  • Niche down: real estate, e-commerce, recruiting
🎯 Your Goal

Land your first paying client and deliver measurable ROI

FAQ

Common Questions

No. Month 1 covers functional Python — just enough to read, write, and debug scripts. You don't need to be a senior developer. No-code tools like Make and n8n handle most workflows without deep coding.

Expect 10–15 hours per week to stay on the 6-month timeline. The curriculum is project-based, so actual building time matters more than passive watching. You can adjust pace based on your schedule.

Yes — if you build real projects and do outreach. $500–2k for initial projects is realistic by Month 5–6. Monthly retainers in the $1k–5k range come after you've delivered results for 1–2 clients and have a track record.
