Is it for you?
Honest answer, so you don’t waste your money.
- Yes, if you're curious about AI agents but don't have a tech background
- Yes, if you'd like agents doing real jobs, like research and lead notes, not just chatting
- Yes, if you want to try it all on a free trial before paying for anything
- Probably not, if you're after a replacement for a member of staff
- Probably not, if you already build multi-agent systems in code
Taught by the two of us.
We recorded every lesson ourselves and we answer every question ourselves. No teaching assistants, no chatbot.
Good questions.
?Do I need to pay for Clyde?
No. Everything in the course can be done on the Clyde free trial account.
?Do I need a paid HubSpot account?
No. The HubSpot lead helper works with HubSpot's free CRM, so you can build it without paying for HubSpot.
?Do I need to know how to code?
No. It's beginner friendly, and the technical-sounding bits, like API keys, MCP and Composio, are explained in plain English as we go.
?What will I have built by the end?
Two working agent teams: one that researches a topic and writes a draft, and one that looks up new HubSpot contacts, researches their company and adds notes, on a schedule.
?What's the difference between Clyde and ChatGPT or Claude?
A chatbot answers you one message at a time. In Clyde you set up a team of agents, each with its own job and skills, connected to your tools, so they can work through a task together. The first module covers when that's worth it and when a chatbot will do.
