The AI Automation Masterclass - Participant Handbook

Student Workbook

Welcome!

Welcome to the AI Automation Masterclass: Build a Self-Running Business in 1 Day!

This handbook is your companion for the day. In this workshop, you will shift from writing code to vibe coding—directing AI agents to build systems that automate your content generation and publishing workflows. By the end of today, you will have a self-running marketing engine tailored to your business.

🧠 Core Glossary

• Vibe Coding: The practice of directing AI agents to generate, test, and run code using natural language instead of typing programming syntax.
• AI Agent (Google Antigravity): An autonomous AI assistant equipped with tools to read, edit, write, and execute code within your workspace.
• LLM (Large Language Model): The cognitive engine (e.g., DeepSeek, Gemini) that processes prompts and generates text/code.
• MCP (Model Context Protocol): The standard protocol that allows LLM brains to connect to local directories, files, and external APIs.
• API (Application Programming Interface): A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and exchange data with each other.
• Skill: A reusable set of instructions, configurations, or scripts that extends an AI agent's capability to perform specialized tasks.
• Prompt Engineering: The practice of structuring, refining, and optimizing text inputs (prompts) to guide an LLM to generate the desired output.
• Hallucination: A phenomenon where an LLM generates factually incorrect, invalid, or fabricated code or information.
• System Prompt: A high-level set of instructions that defines the persona, boundaries, brand voice, and behavior rules for an AI engine.
• Webhook: A simple HTTP callback or message sent from one application to another to trigger a real-time event.
• Google Flow: A video generation suite that creates high-end video assets and consistent avatars based on textual prompts.

📝 Lab Worksheets

Lab 1: Blueprinting Your Pipeline

Draw or write the flow of your automation pipeline:

[ Raw Asset Input ] ──> [ Processing Script ] ──> [ Social scheduling Webhook ]
(What file type?)        (What actions?)          (Where does it publish?)

• Target Bottleneck: __________________________________________________
• Expected Inputs (e.g., raw MP4 files): _______________________________
• Processing Logic (e.g., rename with date): ___________________________
• Final Output Location (e.g., Buffer Webhook): ________________________

Lab 3: Vibe Coding with Google Antigravity

Write down the exact prompt you will feed to Antigravity to build your Python file monitor:

"Vibe Code Prompt: Create a python script that..."
