Overview
What this challenge is about.
Design a v0 sales-research agent and a 90-day learning loop plan, then earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The pre-seed startup (3 founders, pre-revenue, NYC) is trying to land 5 design-partner customers in the next quarter; the prototype + plan is the deliverable that convinces design-partner #1 to sign.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a v0 sales-research agent and write the 90-day plan to make it self-improving in production.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build a useful tool-using LLM agent end-to-end in a week
- Design a learning-loop plan for an LLM-powered product
- Reason about which parts of an agent product should NOT be automated
- Translate an agent prototype into a design-partner pitch
