AI Agent Course | Original
I’m offering a series of AI agent courses. 50 CNY per session (30 minutes). Pay per session, no package required. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned.
My Background
- Male, born in 1995, Chinese citizen, resides in Guangzhou. Achieved top 300 in Guangdong NOIP 2011 and solved around 1000 algorithm problems online.
- Previous experience includes LeanCloud, Beijing Square Root, Beyondsoft (outsourced to a Singapore bank), Farben Information (outsourced to a UK-based international bank) and a global IT outsourcing company (outsourced to a UK-based international bank).
- Accumulated 12 years of professional experience. Specializes in mobile (Android, iOS) and full-stack engineering, with 1 year in machine learning/big data.
- Good understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue, React, Angular, iOS/Android, Java, Spring, MySQL, Redis, distributed systems, and cloud platforms (Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Azure).
- Fun Live — GitHub, a WeChat-powered technical live streaming platform for developers focusing on iOS, Android, backend, and AI content. Operated from 2016 to 2017 with around 30k users.
- Personal blog — lzwjava.github.io, an AI-driven one-stop blog system with AI-powered translation and beyond. Operated from 2021 to present, ~60k monthly views (Cloudflare).
- Native in Chinese, proficient in English (IELTS 6.5). Read over 320 books.
- AI Enthusiast — trained small LLMs (nanoGPT) on H200, AMD MI300X and RTX 4070 GPUs, and built projects using OpenRouter and Claude Code (~3B tokens used).

Course Philosophy
AI is now a practical skill. You don’t need to understand neural network math to be effective. What you need is:
- Know how to prompt well
- Know which tool for which task
- Know how to chain AI tools into real workflows
- Know how to build things without writing everything yourself
The best way to learn is by building something real.
Who Is This For
- Program managers — want to understand what AI can do for your team, how to spec AI features, how to evaluate AI tool outputs
- University students — any major (arts, science, engineering). AI is now a basic literacy skill
- Middle school students — curious about AI and want to learn with a real practitioner
- Non-coders — you don’t need to write code to use AI effectively. Many tools let you build with natural language
- Anyone who wants practical AI skills, not academic theory
Course Format
- 50 CNY per session, 30 minutes each. Pay as you go — no upfront package.
- One-to-one via Zoom or Tencent Meeting. Sessions are recorded.
- Between sessions, quick text follow-ups (under 15 minutes) available outside sleep time.
- Each session is self-contained — no homework required unless you want it.
- You pick the topic each time. It’s your course.
- Join a WeChat community of 3k+ engineers in China for networking and discussions. Contact via WeChat: lzwjava.
To enroll, send an email to lzwjava@gmail.com or add me on WeChat: lzwjava (same ID). Please include a brief introduction about yourself and what you’d like to learn.
Sample Topics
Pick any. Or suggest your own.
AI Agent Basics
- What is an AI agent? How is it different from ChatGPT?
- How to use Hermes Agent (the CLI AI assistant I use daily)
- How to use Claude Code — the coding agent from Anthropic
- Agent loops, tool calling, memory — the concepts explained simply
- Building your own simple agent workflow
Coding with AI
- Write a website using AI — no coding experience needed
- Build a small program step by step with AI help
- How to use Claude Code to build real projects
- How to use Kimi Code (Moonshot AI’s coding tool)
- How to use Trae (ByteDance’s AI coding tool)
- Debugging with AI — let the agent find your bugs
Using Chat Models Effectively
- How to use ChatGPT — prompting, custom GPTs, advanced features
- How to use Claude — long context, artifacts, projects
- How to use Gemini — Google’s multimodal capabilities
- When to use which model — picking the right tool
- Writing good prompts — the one skill that matters most
Practical AI Workflows
- AI for document processing and summarization
- AI for research and fact-checking
- AI for writing, translating, and editing
- AI for data analysis (no code)
- Building a personal AI assistant
For Program Managers
- How to spec features for AI-powered products
- How to evaluate AI tool outputs — what’s good, what’s not
- Understanding AI capabilities vs. hype
- Budgeting for AI in your projects
- Leading teams that use AI tools
Hands-On Demos
- I’ll share my screen and build something live
- You share your screen and I guide you through it
- We debug a real problem together using AI tools
- We compare how different AI tools handle the same task
Why 50 CNY / 30 min?
I want this to be accessible. 50 CNY is less than a bubble tea. One session is short enough to fit into a busy day but long enough to learn something concrete. You don’t commit to 10 lessons — just show up for what you need.
This is not a course. It’s coaching. You bring what you’re working on, and I help you use AI to get it done.
Original. Curating and sharing still takes effort.
