Dmitry Selenya [Cohort 1]
Senior QA engineer @ Vizor Games
"This course was a real breakthrough for me. The material was structured, clear, and focused on practical results. The most valuable part for me was learning to notice opportunities for automation – both in daily life and in business."
Maria Kruglova [Cohort 1]
Program Manager @ Podlodka Crew
"I really liked the format: short lessons with step-by-step examples, plus homework you could share and get feedback on. This kept me motivated to keep going and dive deeper. In the end, I built a habit of using AI not just as a search tool or conversation partner, but as a key part of automating processes that really needed it.."
Alex Shlyakhova [Cohort 1]
Organizational Development Consultant
"For me it’s especially important that approaches and tools are not just useful, but also thoughtful. In this sense, the course really hit the mark. Lena’s method really resonated with me: don’t rush to automate everything at once, first understand which tasks are worth handing over to AI, and why, and only then decide how exactly to do it."
Kristina Gerbersgagen [Cohort 2]
Back office manager @ Digital Hunch Agency
"I really enjoyed this course! It gave me a clear and well-structured foundation for working with automations and especially n8n, which I can now apply in my daily work. Lena shared a huge amount of material and explained everything in great detail, always making sure we understood each step. Highly recommended!"
Alix Martínez Martínez [Cohort 2]
Design Leader · ex-Miro ex-Fjord Accenture
"Such a great investment of both time and money. Lena’s course has been incredibly useful, combining clear theory with daily hands-on exercises. She shares best practices and practical advice on what to do (and what to avoid), always with contagious energy. I can’t recommend this course enough to business leaders and operations managers ready to embrace AI automation with confidence.”
