The challenge

Inconsistent new business development and no scalable outbound system. Previous attempts to hire salespeople had failed.

What they built

An automated lead generation system that scrapes cold leads matching her ideal customer profile, enriches them with data, and delivers qualified prospects to her inbox every morning.

The result

Scored 2 new clients in the first 2 weeks after deploying the system. Has now rolled out similar AI-powered functionality across her entire team.

I built a complete marketing assessment suite with 5 different tools that my clients can use. The best part? I went from zero coding knowledge to deploying working web apps in just 4 weeks.

The challenge

Hours spent manually entering data from customer purchase orders. Complex metal part POs arrive as PDFs and need to be broken down into actionable line items for the shop floor.

What they built

An email-to-spreadsheet automation: he emails customer purchase orders to the system, which decomposes complex metal part POs from PDFs into a Google Spreadsheet he can release directly to the shop.

The result

Replaced hours of manual data entry per week.

You'd never hire a software programmer for this, but it's a game changer.

The challenge

Building a clinical trial management prototype traditionally required months of development and multiple engineers.

What they built

A working prototype with four AI sub-agents that coordinate to handle different parts of the workflow.

The result

Compressed what would have been 6 months of multi-person development into 2 days of focused building.

Built a working prototype with four AI sub-agents in two days. The traditional approach would have taken six months with multiple people.

The pattern across every cohort

Every cohort member starts in the same place: they know AI matters but haven't figured out how to deploy it. Most have tried ChatGPT. Some have tried hiring consultants. None have built anything that runs on its own.

By week 4, every participant has a working system — not a prototype, not a demo, something they actually use. The specifics vary by industry, but the trajectory is the same: identify a bottleneck, build an AI system against it, deploy it.

The most common reaction from cohort alumni: “I didn't think I could build this.”

Tools you get in the cohort

Beyond what you build yourself, every cohort member gets open-source tools we've developed and tested across multiple cohorts. Here are a few that participants use immediately.

Search Visibility Audit

Introduced in Cohort 2

An AI-powered SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) audit built on the latest research from Princeton and industry practitioners. Scores your website across 6 categories and tells you exactly what to fix so AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business.

Most businesses don't realize AI search engines are already answering questions about their industry — without mentioning them. This tool changes that.

Brand Skill

Every cohort member gets this

A skill that embeds your company's branding — colors, fonts, voice, logo placement — into every deliverable you create with AI. Documents, presentations, reports, and web apps all come out on-brand without manual formatting.

Stop fixing fonts and colors after every AI output. Train the tool once, use it everywhere.

39 Open-Source Tools

Assessments, templates & frameworks

Knowledge audits, workflow inventories, prompt templates, agent architectures, ROI calculators, and implementation roadmaps. Every tool is tested across real businesses and updated between cohorts.

You keep everything. No subscription, no expiration, no paywall after the cohort ends.

What you leave with

A working AI system

Not a concept. Not a plan. A deployed system you built yourself that handles a real workflow in your business — whether that's automating invoices, generating proposals, or building client-facing tools.

A 90-day implementation roadmap

A strategic plan for spreading AI across your business, built on assessments you complete each week. You can query it for what to focus on next.

39 open-source AI tools

Assessments, templates, and frameworks you keep forever. Built by practitioners, tested across multiple cohorts.

A peer network

Business owners who are deploying AI at the same time you are. You learn faster when you see what others build and how they think about their problems.
