AI System & Automation Building Training
One-to-one training and consultancy for founders, senior managers and executives. Learn to combine CLI coding tools, MCP servers and automation platforms into your own “second brain” – a set of processes and automations that helps you reduce repetitive work and get more done.
£1,000 for four sessions focused on learning to build your own automations. For a business-wide connected system, see our Business OS programme.
The AI Productivity Gap Is Real
A study of 5,000 white-collar workers revealed a stark divide.

What Other Companies Are Selling You
Fragmented AI
AI locked into one tool – your chat app, your CRM. It only shows you data you can already find faster yourself. No connection to your other tools.
No Sovereignty
You rebuild your processes in their system, locked into their subscription. Want to move later? Recreate everything from scratch.
Out of Date AI
You're stuck with their models. They provide what maximizes their profit, not what's best for you. No freedom to pick your own tools.
Your own second brain
Instead of a dozen disconnected apps, you build one system – CLI coding tools, MCP servers and automation platforms working together. It solves the problems we hit with off-the-shelf AI and connects virtually every tool you already use.
- – All your tools in one place – no switching between apps
- – Your processes, your rules, your data
- – Choose your own tools and models – Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, DeepSeek and more
- – Enterprise-level power without the enterprise price tag
Which Tools Do You Want to Integrate?
Almost anything you can imagine – all in one place with your processes.
Why This Works
Open Source Tools
Built on open source foundations. Transparent, extensible, community-driven – not a black box.
No Vendor Lock-in
Use your existing tools. Chop and change as you need. You're never trapped in one platform.
No Model Lock-in
Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build – or route to Gemini, OpenAI, Llama, Mistral or DeepSeek through OpenRouter. Swap any time.
What You'll Unlock
Triple your productivity. Get more done with less. Multitask like you never have before.
The Tools You'll Learn to Use
AI Coding CLIs
Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and OpenRouter (incl. DeepSeek). Agentic tools that live in your terminal and actually do the work – pick the model that fits the job and the budget.
MCP Servers
The connectors that plug your tools – email, CRM, docs, analytics – into your AI so it can read, write and act on them, not just talk about them.
Automation Platforms
n8n and friends. Chain everything together so your processes run themselves in the background – no babysitting, no copy-paste.
Git & GitHub
Version control for your workflows and configurations. Track changes, collaborate, and never lose your work.
VS Code
The editor that powers modern development. Your command centre for managing integrations, prompts and workflows.
Example 12-Week Journey
Install your CLI tool of choice, VS Code and Git. Connect your first MCP integration (e.g. email + CRM).
Build your first automated workflow. Understand context management, prompting and how MCP servers work.
Add more integrations – docs, project management, analytics. Start capturing your processes as repeatable systems.
Chain CLI tools, MCP servers and n8n together to handle complex, multi-step processes end to end.
Improve prompts, switch models where it saves money, speed up processes and handle edge cases.
Run your system confidently. Know how to extend, maintain and swap tools yourself – no dependency on any one vendor.
The speed at which we progress and the topics we cover will depend on your technical abilities, the exact tools you want to use, and your ability to work on any homework or challenges between sessions. We tailor this entirely to your needs.
On our side, we'll help build additional tools for you to work faster, and give you access to our existing tools and library – all designed to get you there sooner.

Your Commitment
Commitment is in 4-week blocks. In session four, we'll review progress and decide together whether you want to continue.
Flexibility
Yes, we can be flexible. If you have a holiday or other commitments, we'll move your session to the following week. If you don't use all four sessions within an eight-week period, any remaining sessions will be cancelled without refund. This is simply to allow us to schedule effectively – we hope you understand and find this fair. We're always happy to do our best to accommodate your needs.
Most people need 2–3 months to transform their operations. You can have something working in as little as 2–4 weeks.

Imagine This Workflow
Client request → Immediate proposal → Email confirmation → Digital signature → Start work → Build wireframes → Share deliverables → Wrap up. All through one system.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I'm not technical – is this going to be difficult?
We'll do some technical setup on your laptop, but here's the magic: we use these same tools to help us use them. You don't need to write any code yourself. I guide you through everything, at your pace.
-
Which tools and models will we use?
Whatever fits you best. On the CLI side that's Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build or OpenRouter (which gives you DeepSeek and dozens of other models). We add MCP servers to connect your tools, and automation platforms like n8n to run things in the background. You're never locked into a single vendor – that's the whole point.
-
What happens after the training?
You're welcome to run it yourself – no pressure to keep subscribing. You'll own your second-brain system and know how to extend it.
-
How long until I see results?
Within 2–4 weeks you'll have at least one or two services integrated – for example, your email connected to your CRM. Most people hit full speed in 2–3 months.
-
What about my data security?
We put NDA and data disclosures in place to protect your customers' personal data, your IP, and your processes. You choose where your data goes – including self-hosted and open models where privacy matters.
-
What are my running costs once I finish?
Running costs depend on the tools, models and volume of work you choose. Subscriptions, API usage and hosting may be billed separately, and provider prices and limits can change. During training we estimate costs for your workflows, set budgets and show you how to monitor usage. We do not promise unlimited usage or a fixed maximum monthly bill.
