Contextual Design for Solo Entrepreneurs

The solo entrepreneur building an AI-powered SaaS doesn't know the discipline of "what to put into context window when how and at what cost." This free + gated mini-course teaches five fundamental chapters applied in real-world use cases (project management PM, human resources HR, legal, customer success).

Because today, because this course

  • Disciplina nuova, gap didattico enorme. 36% delle startup 2026 sono solo-founded (Startup Genome 2025). Esplosione di framework AI agent (AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph) ma zero materiale didattico italiano end-to-end.
  • Costo è il bottleneck invisibile. Il solopreneur medio spende €200+/mese in token perché non sa come routing, cache, batch. I 5 moduli di questo corso producono risparmio immediato 40-70%.
  • Le basi non cambieranno. Framework specifici (LangGraph, CrewAI) cambieranno in 18 mesi. Le discipline (retrieve, augment, route, observe) no. Il corso è 80% disciplina, 20% tools.
