In person · December 11–13, 2026 · Refúgio INEMA, Canela (RS)
Arrive using chat. Leave with agents working on your laptop.
Three days in the mountains, in a group of about 10 people. Each block has a short explanation, hands-on keyboard time, and an exercise you can check right away. No programming knowledge needed.
R$ 2,847 per person. The button opens your email to inemavip@gmail.com: you reserve there and can ask about accommodation and how to get there.
01 · The starting point
You use AI every day. And you do almost everything by hand.
The problem isn’t the model. It’s where you work with it. An agent is AI working inside your folders: it reads your files, carries out tasks, and keeps going while you do something else.
| Today, in chat | After three days | Day |
|---|---|---|
| Every conversation starts from scratch. You explain who you are and what you want all over again. | Before getting started, the agent reads the rules you left in the folder. | Day 1 |
| The answer stays in the window. You copy it, paste it into your files, and check it yourself. | The agent works directly on your files and finishes by telling you what changed and how to check it. | Day 1 |
| When you close the window, the work stops. | The queue saves each request, runs them one at a time, and picks up again after a crash. | Day 2 |
| Ten tasks become ten conversations, one at a time, and only while you're watching. | You send the batch through Telegram and step away. The bot lets you know when each task is done. | Day 2 |
| Publishing depends on you scripting and checking every number. | The script draws on your source-backed knowledge base, and the schedule only publishes what you approve. | Day 2 |
| The client asks a question and waits until you have time to respond. | The support agent replies with the price you entered and brings in a person at the right time. | Day 3 |
No miracles. Nothing runs on its own if it hasn’t been set up and checked. WhatsApp, an avatar, and video rendering are shown as demonstrations; you build and check everything else yourself, on your laptop.
02 · What you take with you
Six deliverables, all on your laptop.
What works during the intensive will keep working at home because it’s already installed on your machine and runs through your account.
The agent in your folders
Claude Code or Codex installed from the official source, with the rules you wrote and a safety net: anything you haven’t approved can be undone with a command.
Your Jarvis
Your own assistant, with the name and style you chose. The agent builds it, and the tests confirm it works. You don’t write code: you choose, ask, and check.
A task queue
You send the work, step away, and the queue runs while you sleep. Before anything costly or public, there’s a gate: the agent prepares it, stops, and waits for your yes.
Your niche’s channel, ready to go
A knowledge base where every number has a source, a checked 60-second script, and a schedule with approval.
A support agent with your business knowledge base
It replies on its own using what you entered and brings in people at the right time. If there’s no answer to a question, it won’t make one up.
A measured harness and your 30-day plan
A harness is everything around the agent: rules, safeguards, memory, effort, and model. You measure it before and after, then leave with a plan where every deliverable has a completion criterion.
03 · The program
Three days, six sessions, 31 exercises with a “done when” criterion.
“Done when” is the criterion that completes each exercise: a command that responds, a test that passes, a file that exists. Here are a few, copied from the program.
From the terminal to your Jarvis
Morning: Terminal setup
Afternoon: Building Jarvis
- Create the folder in the terminalDone when you can reach the folder using only the terminal and say which folder you’re in.
- Build your JarvisDone when the tests pass and it responds with the name and behavior you defined.
- Ask it to run `shutdown`Done when nothing shuts down and the log shows a BLOCK line.
Queues and publishing
Morning: Queues: ten tasks and go to sleep
Afternoon: Publishing: your niche channel on autopilot
- Stop the queue and run it againDone when the queue picks up where it left off.
- Install the queue botDone when
/pingresponds in your Telegram. - Build the source-backed knowledge baseReady when the
confere.pyprints only OK.
Customer service, other solutions, and harness
Morning: Customer service and other solutions
Afternoon: Harness optimizations and your 30-day plan
- Test 5 questions in the support serviceDone when a question it can’t answer doesn’t get an invented answer.
- Turn an error into a lockoutDone when the incorrect command is blocked with your message.
- Write the 30-day planDone when every deliverable has a command, expected output, and a human checkpoint.
04 · Previous immersions
What the last group was like.
Video and photos from previous immersions at Refúgio INEMA: the same stone and glass room, the forest outside the window, each person at their own laptop, and the explanation on the big screen. That’s what the three days are like.
05 · How it works
Strategic and practical, just as it has always been.
Each block starts with the why and ends with your hands on the keyboard.
- What goes in the queue and what stays with you.
- Where the human checkpoint goes: before anything costly or public.
- What the bot handles and what people handle in customer service.
- How much each choice of effort and model costs.
- Everything on your laptop, with your Claude or ChatGPT subscription.
- One block at a time: a short explanation, hands on the keyboard, and an exercise.
- Each exercise ends with a criterion you can check. No “I think I get it.”
- Assign the task, check the result, and decide: that’s management.
06 · Where it takes place
Refúgio INEMA: three days in the mountains, away from the noise.
A country property in the mountains of Canela (RS), with forest, mist, wooden and stone houses, and sheep in the pasture. Casa Hóspedes Refúgio Inema is on the property, with a 5.0 rating from 21 Google reviews (checked on 11/11/2026). The group is small because the method calls for it: around 10 people, with close support when someone gets stuck.

07 · Before you decide
The content is open and free. Read everything before you decide.
The immersion follows the From Chat to Agent program: 5 courses, 37 lessons, and 23 exercises, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The projects used over the three days are open on GitHub. The immersion program is published, block by block.

Open →What the three in-person days add
The foundations, where most people get stuck
Folders, the terminal, and command-line commands: skip this step and you’ll get stuck on the others. In the classroom, anyone who gets stuck gets help right away and keeps up with the group.
The sequence is already laid out
One block at a time, each building on the one before. You move on only when the “ready when” condition is met.
Your case in the program
Bring a list of repetitive tasks from your work and your website address. That material becomes the queue, customer service, and channel.
A night in between
On Saturday, you send the batch to the queue. On Sunday, the day starts by checking what it did. A two-hour class doesn’t have a next morning.
Everything installed before you leave
You leave with the agent, Jarvis, the queue, and customer service on your laptop, plus a measured 30-day plan.
Three days of focus
Away from the noise, in a room with the forest outside the window, with the group and instructor by your side the whole time.
08 · Who it’s for
Who it’s for. And who it isn’t for yet.
- Uses ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in chat and wants AI to work with their files.
- Has never opened a terminal, or opened one and got stuck on the first command.
- Has repetitive tasks, customers to serve, or content to publish.
- Wants to understand the reason behind each choice and do things hands-on.
- Is looking for a ready-made system where all they have to do is press a button.
- Is looking for a shortcut that works without doing the exercises.
- Can’t bring a laptop that allows them to install programs.
What to bring
- Your own laptop, with permission to install programs.
- A Claude (Pro or Max) or ChatGPT (Plus or Pro) subscription. The agent signs in through your account, with no API key.
- Telegram on your phone, to create the bots.
- A GitHub account.
- A list of repetitive tasks from your work and, if you have one, your website address. This is the material that becomes a queue, a support service, and a channel.
Use Windows? Get in touch beforehand at inemavip@gmail.com. Parts of days 2 and 3 use Linux and Mac scripts, and we’ll work out the best approach with you before you arrive.
09 · Where the content comes from
Who created what you’ll use
The courses and projects in the immersion are from INEMA, created by Nei Maldaner. That’s 40 years in technology: a degree in Physics, and work as a programmer, analyst, and integrator since the 1990s, followed by networking, security, databases, and people management. He founded companies recognized by Microsoft, Novell, and Cisco, and brought Java to Brazil through training programs. The inematds repository now includes more than 500 systems and projects.
“If you use ready-made systems, you’ll only be an operator, easily replaced.”Nei Maldaner
That’s why, over the three days, you build each piece and understand why it’s there.
10 · Questions
Questions before booking
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You don’t write code: you choose, ask, and check. Friday morning starts with the terminal, from scratch, with six commands. In a group of around 10 people, anyone who gets stuck gets help right away.
The content is open and free. Why attend the immersion?
The content is the same, and you can read everything before you decide. The immersion adds a sequence that’s already laid out, help as soon as you get stuck, and three full days to work on your laptop with your own case. There’s also a night in between: on Saturday, you send the batch to the queue, and on Sunday, you check what it did.
What won’t be ready in three days?
WhatsApp, the avatar, and video rendering are demonstrations. You’ll leave with the support workflow running on your laptop and the channel prepared: a source-backed knowledge base, a reviewed script, and a schedule with approval. Connecting the real WhatsApp account and publishing are milestones in your 30-day plan.
I use Windows. Can I attend?
Yes. On Friday, the terminal portion is taught using Windows cmd, with equivalent commands for Mac and Linux. Parts of days 2 and 3 use Linux and Mac scripts. Get in touch beforehand at inemavip@gmail.com, and we’ll work out the best approach with you before you arrive.
Which subscription do I need?
Claude (Pro or Max) or ChatGPT (Plus or Pro). The agent runs through your account, with no API key. Also bring Telegram on your phone and a GitHub account.
