Build a Course
in an Hour

Watch a whole course get built live — with Cowork, the Minisite skill and Midjourney.

Before we start

Educational only

Not financial, tax or legal advice. AI features, pricing and connectors change fast — treat specifics as current at June 2026 and verify before relying on them. For regulated work, a human reviews and lodges.

The hour ahead

One idea, three steps, ship it

  • The idea — Build Your Own AI Team
  • Step 1: Structure with Cowork
  • Step 2: Build with the Minisite skill
  • Step 3: Illustrate with Midjourney
  • Ship it & do it yourself
The example we build

Build Your Own AI Team

The team

Claude + ecosystem

Cowork, Chrome, Microsoft 365, Skills & hundreds of MCP connectors — assistants you assemble.

The rule

Reads vs writes

Automate the reads; supervise the writes. A human approves anything that sends, pays or lodges.

Give it a bounded job. Supervise the result.

No code required — the skill is delegation, not clever prompts.

Step 1 · structure

Structure It with Cowork

Hand over the research and a goal; get modules, lessons and a phased plan.

How it works

Delegate the whole job

  • Give the outcome, not a prompt
  • It scopes: audience, length, tone
  • It asks a couple of clarifying questions
  • You approve a phased plan, then it builds

Step 2 · build

Build the Pages with the Minisite Skill

A reusable Skill that encodes the whole design system.

What a Skill is

Your method, encoded once

  • A SKILL.md + templates that teach Claude your way
  • The Minisite skill holds this site’s nav, layout, colours, SEO
  • Every page comes out consistent, fast
  • Reusable across Claude.ai, Cowork & the API
On screen

Pages assemble in one consistent style

Step 3 · illustrate

Illustrate with Midjourney

You never type a prompt into Midjourney — Claude writes them, you copy-paste.

Let Claude write the prompts

Ask, copy, paste

  • Ask Claude (or ChatGPT) to write the Midjourney prompts
  • Tell it to keep one style across the set (reuse a --sref)
  • Tell it the aspect ratios: 16:9, 3:2, 1:1
  • Tell it to make the people diverse & stereotype-free
  • Copy-paste each prompt into Midjourney — that’s it
On screen

A sentence becomes a grid of images

Ship it

Ship It & Do It Yourself

Go live, keep it maintained, and reuse the loop.

The safe, repeatable loop

Cowork → Skill → Midjourney

  • Wire it into the catalogue & sitemap
  • Nothing is set-and-forget — maintain it
  • Point the same loop at your own work
  • Automate the reads, supervise the writes
