From Zero Tech Skills to Running Your Own AI Automations
1-1 training to set up AI assistants, MCP, and custom automations. Works with Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and more. Private, secure, and entirely under your control.
AI tools feel out of reach
Enterprise platforms cost thousands. Consumer tools don't connect to your real data.
Data stays siloed
Your CRM doesn't talk to your docs. Analytics lives separately from everything else.
Vendor lock-in everywhere
Every tool wants you trapped in their ecosystem. Switching costs keep you stuck.
Open source, low cost
Use powerful tools without enterprise pricing. Pay only for what you use.
One chat, all data
Connect every service with an API to your AI. Query, update, and automate from one place.
You own everything
Switch models anytime. Your automations work with different providers. No lock-in.
What You'll Learn
Practical skills that let you build and maintain your own automations.
AI & MCP Fundamentals
Understand how AI assistants work, what MCP servers do, and how to get the most from them in your daily work.
Terminal & Command Line
Get comfortable with the terminal. Run scripts, navigate files, and execute automations with confidence.
Git Version Control
Track changes, collaborate safely, and never lose work. Essential for managing any automation project.
VS Code Setup
Configure your development environment. Extensions, settings, and workflows that make everything easier.
Custom Scripts
Write and modify scripts that automate repetitive tasks. Start simple, build complexity as you grow.
API Connections
Connect services together. Pull data from one tool, push it to another, all orchestrated by your AI.
Why This Approach Works
Zero to Confident
No prior tech skills needed. We start from the basics and build up. By the end, you'll be editing and running automations yourself.
Your Own Environment
Everything runs on your machine, in your accounts. Private, secure, and under your control. No third-party platforms storing your data.
Connect All Your Data
If a service has an API, your AI can access it. CRM, docs, databases, analytics - one chat interface for everything.
No Vendor Lock-in
We use open source tools and open protocols. Switch AI models anytime. Your automations aren't tied to any single provider.
Skip Enterprise Costs
No expensive enterprise AI platforms. No per-seat licensing. Just powerful tools that cost a fraction of the alternatives.
Ongoing Independence
The goal is your independence. After training, you can maintain and extend your automations without ongoing support.
How It Works
Discovery Session
We map your workflows, identify automation opportunities, and understand your current tech comfort level.
Environment Setup
Together, we set up your development environment. VS Code, terminal, Git, your AI tools - all configured and working.
1-1 Training Sessions
Hands-on sessions where we build real automations for your actual work. Learn by doing, not watching.
Practice & Support
Between sessions, you practice with exercises. Questions? We're available for async support.
What Becomes Possible
After training, you'll be able to do things like:
"Draft responses to all unread support emails"
Your AI reads your inbox, understands context from your knowledge base, and drafts replies for your review.
"Summarise this week's Slack activity and create action items in Notion"
Your AI scans your channels, extracts decisions and tasks, and creates structured notes.
"Pull our revenue data and compare it against the same period last year"
Your AI queries your database, does the analysis, and presents findings in plain English.
"When a new lead comes in, enrich it with LinkedIn data and notify the sales team"
Automated workflows that run in the background, triggered by events in your tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What if I have zero technical experience?
That's exactly who this is for. We start from absolute basics - what a terminal is, how to navigate folders, what a script does. By the end, you'll be running and modifying automations confidently.
-
What tools and services can I connect?
Anything with an API. This includes Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, file storage, and hundreds more. If the service has an API, your AI can work with it.
-
Is my data secure?
Yes. Everything runs locally on your machine or in your own cloud accounts. We don't host your data or have ongoing access. You own and control everything.
-
What if I get stuck after the training?
You'll have documentation and recordings from our sessions. For ongoing support, we offer optional retainer packages. But the goal is your independence.
-
How is this different from using ChatGPT or other chat tools?
Standard chat interfaces can't access your systems. We're setting up AI with MCP servers that connect directly to your tools. Your AI can actually read your database, update your CRM, and take actions - not just talk about them.
-
Why open source tools?
Open source means no lock-in, lower costs, and full transparency. You can inspect, modify, and own your entire automation stack. If you want to switch providers later, you can.
-
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on your goals and starting point. Most people do 4-8 sessions over a few weeks. We'll give you a recommendation after the discovery session.
