What your agent learns from
Everything you've already made. Nothing new to write.
Sales calls
Discovery, demo, and consulting recordings.
YouTube
Every video you've published, transcribed and indexed.
Newsletters
Years of emails to your list? Upload your best writing.
Courses & docs
PDFs, Google Drive, course modules, transcripts.
Podcasts
Interviews and solo episodes. Yours and your guests'.
DMs & support
The threads where you answered the same question 200 times.
Notion / Drive
Your second brain is finally useful.
Anything else
Webinars, slide decks, books. If you wrote it, upload it.
The opportunity
The knowledge you've already built and shared can now be monetized with an AI agent.
You've likely written years of newsletter content, done sales calls, recorded YouTube videos, and recorded podcasts. You've done consulting calls where you handed over your frameworks (mostly for free), and you've filled a Drive with docs and notes with solid buried ideas nobody will ever read.
All of that is valuable knowledge you could package into an AI agent and sell access to.
Introducing
Your AI agent.
Course Agents AI takes everything you upload and builds an AI agent that talks like you, thinks like you, and knows what you know.
Then you point your audience at it. They chat with your agent directly through a link, a chat widget, a Telegram bot, or right inside your existing site. You decide whether they get it free, get a free preview, or pay.
The agent is built on every transcript, doc, email, and call you feed it, and it cites the source it pulled an answer from so your audience trusts it, and so do you.
Build as many agents as you need on one account. A support agent for your inbox, a sales agent for your funnel, a teaching agent for your course. They all share the same knowledge base and one source of truth.
Three ways to make money with one AI agent
A lead magnet, a product, or a whole new business.
Pick one or run all three. Your agent is the asset, and these are the three doors you can open with it.
1. Lead-gen agent
Free for visitors and lives on your site, in a chat bubble, or as a standalone page.
- Captures emails as the cost of entry
- Recommends your next product based on the conversation
- Hands warm leads off to your sales agent or to you
- Shows you what people actually ask and where they get stuck
2. Paid agent
Charge for access. You set the price and how the paywall triggers.
- Free preview, then paywall, like a metered article
- Or flat monthly access for the whole agent
- Or a one-time unlock for a specific course or topic
- Stripe built in. We take nothing on top.
3. Agency agent
Build agents for other businesses. Charge them. Keep the spread.
- Build an agent for a law firm, tax office, or coach
- Charge the client $800 to $2,500/mo per agent
- Your platform cost stays flat. You keep the margin.
- No new product to invent. Same engine, new customer.
The agency angle
Who would pay $1,000+/month for an AI agent?
This is the opportunity we see (not proven revenue yet). Service businesses that bill their clients $200 to $500/hour have the budget, and they have the same repetitive intake-question problem that an AI agent solves.
The rates below are what we think makes sense for each niche. During beta I'm working one-on-one with customers to figure out the actual numbers in their specific market.
Course Agents AI is $49/month flat during beta. If one of these niches lands at the lower end of the rate above, the platform pays for itself for two years. We'll figure out the actual math with you.
A team of agents on one account
One “Brain” and a team of agents on top.
Each agent is tuned for one job and deployed on one channel. Turn them on as you need them, and all of them learn from the same content you upload.
Course agent
Teaches your students 1:1 through your existing material. Cites the exact lesson it pulled from. Pushes recall and weekly summaries.
Support agent
Answers inbox and widget tickets in your voice. Drafts or auto-sends. Escalates only the genuinely hard ones.
Sales agent
Recognizes warm leads, recommends the right offer, qualifies, and books calls. Pre-sells your next launch on autopilot.
Quiz agent
Runs guided-selling quizzes that route buyers to the right product. Built from your existing copy. No funnel rebuild.
Coaching agent
Holds clients accountable with check-ins, goal tracking, and Socratic prompts. A coach that never sleeps.
Intake agent
Greets new buyers or applicants, asks the right onboarding questions, and routes them into the right path.
What it sounds like
Real questions. Real agents. Real answers.
These are actual, unedited exchanges happening on agents running on the platform today. Different creators, different niches, same engine.
I want to land clients. How do I go about that?
Starting from zero. That's actually the right place to be. Order the course teaches it: 1. Pick your niche (clients willing to pay, market wealth, burning problems). 2. Build a list (no paid ads. List-swaps add ~520 subs/year). 3. Write emails that convert. 4. Build an offer. 5. Launch it.
What's the best funnel for my high-ticket coaching business?
Based on the course framework, high-ticket sales maps to: Application funnel (qualify leads before they book). Call-booking funnel (direct path to a sales conversation). High-ticket webinar funnel (educate and pre-sell). Challenge funnel (build trust and demonstrate results before the pitch).
Am I allowed to buy you and sell agents to other businesses?
Yes. Your subscription covers unlimited agents. You build agents for clients like immigration consultants and tax firms. You charge them $800 to $2,500/month. You keep the difference. Your clients own the relationship. The agent is your tool.
Narrative structure?
The course teaches a 9-step narrative for sales emails: relatable character desires X, fails at it, failure came from bad advice, meets a guide, gains clarity, hits an obstacle, must change, guide offers unique solution, character wins. Then proof: screenshots, DMs, social.
Your transformation
What changes after 30 days with your agent online.
- 01
Your back catalog starts working again.
Years of YouTube, newsletters, and calls. The stuff that has been collecting dust. Now it generates leads and answers questions every day.
- 02
You stop answering the same questions.
Your agent handles 80% of the DMs you used to handle yourself. Hours back, every single week.
- 03
You have a paid product that scales.
$9 to $29/mo for unlimited access to your agent, or $97 to unlock a specific topic. Whatever you set, it sells while you sleep.
- 04
You see what your audience actually wants.
Every conversation is an insight. The agent surfaces the questions people ask most, the products you should build, the angles that land.
Who's behind this
Built by a creator who's all-in on AI agents.
I'm Derek Johanson. I've run CopyHour, a paid email copywriting course with 5,000+ students, since 2012. I've written a daily newsletter since 2017, I have hundreds of hours of coaching and consulting calls, and I've been answering questions since it feels like DMs were invented.
When AI agents burst on the scene I realized that all this valuable content I've built over time could be packaged up into an agent that helps my students and makes me money too.
After I built AI agents for all my pre-existing courses I started to see that these AI agents could do so much more than answer questions. They could be used to generate leads and make sales.
Course Agents AI is the platform I built for myself, personally, and now I'm opening up the beta for early adopters. I'm working one-on-one with the first wave of customers to help them figure out their agent, their niche, and the offer that fits.
Is this for you?
This is not a fit for everyone.
Course Agents AI is NOT for you if…
- You don't have any content yet. (Make some first, then come back.)
- You're not comfortable letting AI talk to your audience, even with guardrails.
- You want a generic chatbot. Your agent is custom-built on your knowledge, not a wrapper.
It IS for you if…
- You have years of content: calls, videos, newsletters, docs. All sitting unused.
- Your audience asks you the same questions on repeat in DMs and email.
- You sell courses, coaching, or consulting and want a new monetizable product without building a new product.
- You want a top-of-funnel lead magnet that's actually useful. Not another ebook nobody reads.
- You want to run a one-person AI agency. Build agents for other businesses and keep the recurring revenue.

Q&A
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is an AI agent on Course Agents AI?
An AI agent you train on everything you've ever made: sales calls, consulting calls, YouTube videos, newsletters, courses, docs, anything. Your audience talks to it like they would talk to you. It cites the source it pulled an answer from so trust stays intact.
How does the lead-gen vs paid model work?
You decide. You can give the agent away free as a top-of-funnel magnet (capture email, then chat). You can let people preview a few messages and then paywall the rest. You can sell flat monthly access. You can sell a one-time unlock for a specific topic or course. Stripe is built in. We take nothing.
What if people ask my agent something it shouldn't answer?
You set guardrails. Block topics. Force escalation to you by email. Refuse to quote prices. Refuse to make medical or legal claims. Whatever fits your business.
Do I have to transcribe my videos and calls myself?
No. Upload the file or paste the link and we handle transcription and indexing automatically.
Does this replace my course platform?
No. Your agent sits alongside whatever you already use: Kajabi, Kit, Skool, Teachable, your own site. It adds a paid product and a lead-gen channel without forcing you to migrate.
Can I build agents for my clients and sell them as a service?
Yes. Your subscription covers unlimited agents. You can build them for tax firms, lawyers, real estate agencies, coaches, whoever you want. You set the price. Most agencies charge $800 to $2,500/month per client. You keep the spread. Your client owns the relationship with their audience. The agent is your tool.
Is my agent private? Can anyone at Course Agents AI see my conversations?
Your content and conversations belong to you. We do not train shared models on your data. Engineering staff can access conversation logs only when you ask us to help debug something specific. If you need a stricter arrangement (DPA, data residency, no-access support tier), email derek@copyhour.com and we'll talk.
Can my audience talk to my agent by voice?
On Telegram, yes. Voice notes are transcribed automatically and your agent responds. On the web widget, the next release adds push-to-talk dictation for visitors. Today the widget is text-first. The underlying engine handles audio.
Why $49/month right now?
It's early-access pricing. The full price will be $99/month once we exit early access. Lock in $49 now and you keep that rate.
What's the guarantee?
If you decide it's not for you within the first 30 days, email me directly. Full refund, no friction, no exit interview.
Stop being the only place your knowledge lives.
Your AI agent can be live, learning, and earning before the end of the day.
$49/month early access. 30-day money-back guarantee.
