Why this workshop exists

Australia has adopted AI.
Almost nobody uses it well.

58%
of Australians already use AI tools every month

Your people are already using AI at home. Your business probably isn't using it properly at work. This day closes that gap. You leave with AI installed, integrated and working on your business, not another pilot.

Personalised before you arrive

Built on your business
before you arrive.

The moment you register, we send you a short survey. Your answers become your personal worksheet, so the day is spent building for your work, not watching a generic demo.

1 · Register

Secure your seat. Tax invoice on the spot.

2 · Seven-minute survey

Your tools, your role, the tasks that bore you.

3 · We build your worksheet

Personalised to your stack before the day.

4 · Workshop day

You build. We guide. Lunch on us.

What you're learning

Two tools. Installed,
working, yours.

You'll learn Claude Cowork and Claude Code, and we install both on your laptop on the day. Not a demo on our screen. Your machine, your accounts, your business connected. That's the difference between watching AI and owning it.

Claude Cowork

  • 01
    The desktop app, connectedYour email, calendar and files wired in. This is where the everyday wins live, and where most of your team will work.
  • 02
    The everyday winsEmail review and triage. Your calendar in plain language. Meeting notes recorded, turned into documentation and actions.
  • 03
    Skills you keepThe same working skills we run our own business on, handed over and customised to the way you work.

Claude Code

The day, 9am to 3pm

Morning, everyday wins.
Afternoon, your hero job.

1 · The everyday wins, 9am

Claude Cowork on your laptop, connected to your email, calendar and files. Your agent reviews your inbox, manages your calendar in plain language, and turns meetings into notes, documentation and actions. The jobs everybody wants done.

🔧2 · Your hero job, 12.45pm

After lunch we go a layer deeper with Claude Code. Each seat builds the job their survey surfaced, guided one-on-one. Connected to the tools you already run, whether that's your CRM, Notion, Xero or the folder full of documents your week runs on.

📈3 · Your live dashboard, 2pm

The buzz moment. A dashboard on your own numbers, built in the room, kept current by your agent. Then your 90-day pack handover, and your follow-up call booked before you walk out.

What people build

Real agents,
built in rooms like this.

The inbox that files itself

An agent that captures the documents a busy week runs on, named and filed properly, on a schedule.

The proposal inside the hour

Call transcript in, branded proposal out, same afternoon. In one attendee's words, "so glad it wasn't generic".

The profitability dashboard

One attendee built a live job-profitability app within a week of his session, on his own.

Yours to keep

The 90-day pack,
customised to you.

You don't leave with notes. You leave with a 90-day worksheet pack customised from your survey answers. Week by week, prompt by prompt, built around your tools and your role, and designed to work with just you and Claude. No hand-holding required, no membership to keep paying.

Questions we actually get asked

Asked in the room.
Answered here.

Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can describe your work, you can build your agent. You direct, Claude builds. The pre-work guide walks you through every install in a Windows and a Mac version, and the first part of the day is set aside to fix anything that didn't work.
What do I bring?
Your laptop, Windows or Mac, and access to your everyday tools, your email, your calendar and whatever runs your week. The survey you complete after registering tells us exactly what to prepare for you.
What's the survey for?
Seven minutes, straight after you register. It tells us your tools, your role and the tasks that bore you. We use it to build your personal worksheet and your 90-day pack before the day, so you build for your business, not a demo one. It's also why registration closes a week before the workshop.
Do I need a Claude account already?
No. The pre-work covers it. If you have one, great. If not, we'll tell you exactly which plan fits what you want to build, before you spend a dollar.
What if I get stuck afterwards?
That's the free follow-up call, yours to book within 30 days of the workshop. And your worksheet pack is designed to work with just you and Claude, week by week, no membership required.
Why does registration close on 10 September?
Because we build a customised worksheet for every seat from the survey answers, and doing that properly for ten people takes the week. Late seats mean generic workshops, and we don't run those.
My work is licensed or regulated. Will this still work?
Yes, and tell us in the survey. Real estate, finance, legal, health and similar fields need their AI set up with the right context from the start. We've done it before and we'll set yours up properly, on purpose, in the room.

Stop watching AI.
Start owning it.
