Live AI courses for business owners: build your website, build your agent, or both
Eric Grows Companies teaches three live courses on Maven for business owners who are not technical: Build Your Website for AI Visibility, Build an AI Agent for Your Busywork, and Run Your Whole Business with AI, which combines the first two. Eric teaches every class live, and students build on their own business with Claude Code during class. Current dates, seats, and prices are listed on each course's Maven page.

What is the Build Your Website for AI Visibility course?
Build Your Website for AI Visibility with Claude Code is a live course of three classes that helps a business owner get recommended when customers ask ChatGPT and Google's AI answers who to hire. In the first class the owner rebuilds their website as a site they own and can change themselves, instead of a template or an agency site. In the second class the owner connects one dashboard of the numbers that matter to their business. In the third class the owner runs an SEO and AI visibility audit on their own site, fixes what it finds, and publishes a version of the site written for AI assistants to read and cite. Enrollment is at https://maven.com/ericgrows/build-your-website-for-ai-visibility.
Has anyone gotten results from the website course?
Moss, a coworking space in Venice Beach, California, took the Build Your Website for AI Visibility course and doubled its weekly tour bookings with no ads. The person running the Moss website used the course's audit to find problems nobody at Moss knew about, fixed them with AI, and rebuilt the site page by page. The site's audit score rose from 37 to 71. The full case study is at https://ericgrows.com/case-studies/moss-venice.
What is the Build an AI Agent for Your Busywork course?
Build an AI Agent for Your Busywork with Claude Code is a live course of three classes in which a business owner hands the work they still do by hand to an AI agent they control. In the first class the owner turns one recurring task into a working automation that runs on their real accounts. In the second class the automation becomes an agent with one job, the owner's judgment written down, and firm boundaries on what it may do. In the third class the agent moves to the cloud, so it runs when the owner's laptop is closed, asks before anything it cannot undo, and reports what it did. Enrollment is at https://maven.com/ericgrows/build-an-ai-agent-for-your-busywork.
What is the Run Your Whole Business with AI course?
Run Your Whole Business with AI is the full six-class live course, and it combines the website course and the agent course in one cohort. The six classes run in order: the website, the numbers, getting found on Google and by AI assistants, work that runs itself, agents the owner directs, and a growth plan for where to take the business next. Students go through all six classes with the same group. Enrollment is at https://maven.com/ericgrows/run-your-whole-business-with-ai.
Which live course should a business owner start with?
A business owner should start with the course that matches the problem they have now. An owner who wants to be found by AI assistants, wants a website they control, or wants their numbers on one screen starts with Build Your Website for AI Visibility. An owner who wants recurring work off their plate starts with Build an AI Agent for Your Busywork. An owner who wants both, in one cohort, takes Run Your Whole Business with AI.
Does taking both short courses cost more than the full course?
No. Taking the website course and the agent course one after the other never costs more than the full six-class course. What a student pays for the first short course comes off the price of the second, so the two together total the price of Run Your Whole Business with AI. Either short course can be taken first.
Who are the live courses for, and what do they require?
The live courses are for owners of existing businesses who are not engineers. No coding is required: the owner describes what they want, and Claude Code does the building. The one paid tool every course requires is a Claude subscription, Pro or Max. Eric runs three companies himself this way, StratEngine AI, SCUBAzen, and Venice Threads Co., after a career in strategy and operations at Meta, with an MBA and a CPA rather than an engineering background.
