Bring one real task. Give your Digital Employee a clear job. Finish with a result you can check.
Welcome, I’m Don Wansley—call me Guru. This self-paced challenge follows our existing Agent Out the Box: Your First Digital Employee course. Start today and work through one day at a time. If you need longer, keep going at your own pace.
🎯 YOUR FINISH LINE
One completed, checked task + a saved job card + safe Proof of Work. Begin with a small draft or research assignment using information you are allowed to share. You can start on Android, iPhone, or a computer. Tool access and subscriptions depend on your chosen setup; the challenge does not include paid software or guarantee an autonomous deployment.
