I want to get you hands-on with AI agents, fast.
Product management is splitting into two speeds: PMs who work with agents every day, and PMs who haven’t started. That gap grows every week. But closing it is easier than it looks, and I’ll show you how, live.
Maybe you understand agents in theory, then open VS Code to actually use one and freeze. It’s not that you can’t. You just haven’t done it hands-on yet.
You don’t get past that freeze by reading threads or listening to podcasts. You get past it by doing the work, breaking things, and fixing them. That starts with VS Code, the baseline you can’t skip. 90% of what you learn there works with any agent.
So I’m running one live session a week, starting this Thursday (tomorrow). We do it together: quick theory, live examples and best practices, then homework on your own product.
In the last Claudathon, I watched PMs go from stuck to building real agents in a few weeks.
The first three sessions are free for everyone. They take you from Cowork to Codex to Claude Code in VS Code, the one most PMs avoid.
1. How the Sessions Work
90 minutes, live at 6:00 PM CET. Three free sessions to kick off over two weeks, then one every Thursday.
A live walkthrough, plus the materials. I demo each skill live and share the training materials.
Homework on your own product. You apply each skill to your real work, not toy examples.
Recording after. Can’t make it live? Participants keep the recording.
Drop in on the ones you need. Each session stands alone. It isn’t a cohort you enroll in once.
If you’d rather read first, the written Cowork and Claude Code guides already cover the basics.
2. The Roadmap
Update: Due to personal issues, I moved the Codex App for PMs to July 8, 2026. Same time.
3. Get the First Three (Free)
The first three sessions are open to every subscriber. Subscribe (free) and you'll find the three recordings and templates to download right here:
🔒Three videos and templates to download are free for all subscribers. Sign up and get full access (don’t pay anything):
4. The Rest of the Roadmap (Premium)
Everything from July 16 on is for premium members: the full roadmap, every recording, and the exercises.
Go to go.productcompass.pm/premium, sign up with your Substack email, and sync your calendar. Every session drops into your calendar automatically, so you never miss one.
There’s a certificate too. A knowledge test plus practical exercises you submit (anonymized projects or screenshots are fine). You don’t have to wait for the series to end. Submit when you’re ready. I’ll publish the criteria the next week inside this post.
The last two sessions, Agentic Engineering and Production Hardening, go deeper into production and are an advanced add-on, not part of it.
Closing
A year from now, working with agents will feel obvious to you. Right now it just takes practice.
We start Thursday (tomorrow), with Cowork.
Have a great rest of the week, Paweł
P.S. This Saturday I’m publishing the updated AI PM Learning Roadmap across every skill area, with recommended paths. This live series is the workspace track inside it. You’ll see exactly where it fits.
Hi Pawel !
Great material - Many Thanks!
Will you upload recording of all sessions ?
Thanks for this.
