Digital course
The digital caretaker: your maintenance agent
A caretaker agent watches your project while you work on something else: CI status, dependency audits, error logs, uptime. It fixes the small things itself, on a branch, with evidence and tests as a gate. Anything big it puts in front of you instead of deciding it.

Proof of method
Numbers from the engine room
What you read here does not come from a theory course, but from real operation. These figures come from the orchestrated workflow behind this site and point to the public tool behind it.
Updated: 2026-06
- Orchestrated sessions
- 800+
- Documented work sessions across 24 real projects.
- Documented learnings
- 1,300+
- Over 300 of them verified.
- Agent runs
- 15,000+
- Individual agent runs across the orchestrated workflow, logged over all sessions.
- Parallel agents
- up to 34
- Coordinated in one session, a median of 10 per deep session.
* As of June 2026, measured from the orchestrated workflow behind this site (open-source plugin session-orchestrator, MIT). An orchestrated session is a completed block of work in which a coordinator distributes the task in waves across multiple AI agents. Each session is documented; learnings are the captured insights from them, counted across all projects. All figures are conservative lower bounds, and over 300 of the learnings are verified.
Measured with the open-source plugin session-orchestrator (MIT), the tool behind these sessions.
- Four task classes, cleanly separated. Watch, report, repair, ask. You estimate the blast radius of every action and decide where your own line between fixing small things and asking about big ones runs.
- Signals your project already emits. From CI status through dependency audits to error logs and uptime. You collect them instead of buying new tooling.
- A log you can read in two minutes. The agent runs on a cadence via cron or pipeline schedules and condenses the day into a short report instead of a flood of notifications.
- Repairs with evidence. Allowed actions as an allowlist instead of collected bans, every repair as a PR or MR on a branch, tests as a hard gate, and a way back defined in advance.
- Security defaults that hold. Secrets out of prompts and logs, tokens cut by least privilege, a sandbox with cost and turn limits, a kill switch, and an audit log.
- Operation over months, not over one afternoon. You place the data-protection limits honestly, without giving legal advice, and know how to spot an agent that is quietly getting it wrong.
Who this course is not for
If you do not have a project that needs ongoing maintenance yet, this is too early. This course assumes you are comfortable with a repository, CI, and a terminal. It is not an introduction to programming and not legal advice.
The natural starting point before this is the free Werkbank course for your setup and the operations layer from From Laptop to Live System. You continue here once your project needs more care than you can fit in on the side.
Structure: 4 modules, 12 lessons
- Module 1: What a caretaker agent is, and what it is not3 lessons
- Module 2: Watching, schedule, daily log3 lessons
- Module 3: Repairing with guardrails3 lessons
- Module 4: Running it safely, over months3 lessons
Every lesson comes from an agent that actually runs: the places where it wanted to do too much, and the limits that came out of them. No architecture diagrams without operation, only building and securing.
Your access is unlocked immediately after payment: all lessons directly in the browser, in your account. Because this is digital content that starts right away, you confirm immediate access during checkout. Details are in the withdrawal information.
The learning environment
The course lives in an account, not in a PDF.
You read the lessons in the browser, signed in. Here's what that means day to day:
Progress on every device
Completed lessons live in your account, not in the browser. You carry on at the laptop where you stopped on your phone.
German and English
Every lesson exists in both languages, written rather than machine-translated. You can switch mid-course.
A link that verifies the certificate
The finished certificate carries an address where the name, the course, and the date can be checked without a login. Handy when somebody asks.
Additions show up dated in your account
When a lesson is added or reworked, you'll see it dated under News. For this course that isn't hypothetical.
Scope and risk
What's inside, and what happens if it isn't for you.
- 12 lessons across 4 modules
- In your account, unlocked the moment you buy, readable at your own pace.
- Text lessons in the browser
- Made for reading and doing, with ready-to-copy prompt blocks. No videos.
- 12 knowledge checks
- Short self-checks at the end of a lesson, repeatable as often as you like.
- Certificate as a PDF
- In your name, once you've completed every lesson and passed the knowledge checks.
- Access for at least 36 months
- From the day you buy, as stated in the terms. No subscription, nothing to cancel.
Before you pay: the first lesson is free to read, complete, and not a teaser. That's how you can judge the tone and the depth before you decide.
Honest about the right of withdrawal: because you explicitly consent to immediate access at checkout, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal ends when the course is unlocked. That isn't fine print, it's the reason the first lesson is open. The details are in the withdrawal information.
And beyond that, voluntarily: if you decide within 14 days of your purchase that the course isn't for you, write to office@gotzendorfer.at. You get the full price back, no reason needed. That's a promise from me, not a statutory right: the right of withdrawal stays gone, your money still comes back. It's written into the terms.
If the course doesn't deliver what this page promises, that's a defect, and the statutory warranty applies. In that case write to office@gotzendorfer.at. A person answers, not a ticket system.
I'll add testimonials once real feedback exists. Until then I'd rather show you exactly what's inside: the scope, the structure, and the first lesson to read for yourself.
