Product 03 Project-Based AI Mentorship

Pick one automation. Build it for your business. Walk out fluent in the meta-skill.

Most AI courses teach you against fake projects. Project-Based AI Mentorship is different — you pick one automation from our curated list of high-leverage workflows, and we build it for your business together over 3 months. You leave with a working system, the meta-skill of building with AI, and a current read on where the field is heading.

01 What it is

A real program. With real deliverables. Built around your business.

01.

Personalised curriculum.

Mapped to your actual business and the operational bottlenecks you're solving. No generic course modules — every lesson lands inside something you'll ship that week.

02.

Weekly 1:1 calls.

60 minutes, every week, with one senior operator (me). We work through real problems together. No async-only support, no group cohorts, no junior coaches.

03.

Monthly strategy reviews.

90-minute zoom-out sessions. What's working, what's stuck, what to build next, where you're underestimating yourself.

04.

WhatsApp support throughout.

Stuck mid-build? Voice note me. Async best-effort response, usually within hours. The curriculum is the program; the messaging is the safety net.

05.

A real built deliverable.

By the end of month 3 you have a working automation running inside your business — picked from the curated list, built with you, owned by you. Tangible, documented, extendable.

06.

The meta-skill.

Claude Projects, system-design-first prompting, dual-AI auditing, gated phases, verify-your-own-outputs — the durable skills that keep working when the models change.

02 What you build

One automation. From a curated list. Built for your business.

The list exists because we need authority over the curriculum. Every mentee covers the same core foundations — system design, prompting, evaluation, deployment — regardless of which automation they pick. The list is the constraint that makes the program teachable; the automation is the project that makes it real.

01 · Pick

One automation.

Picked from our curated list of high-leverage workflows: inbound triage and routing, follow-up sequences, AI-assisted content, reporting and dashboards, document and proposal automation, support knowledge layers.

02 · Build

For your business.

With you, not for you. Your data, your stack, your workflow. Built across weekly 1:1 calls and async work between sessions, so the system fits the business as it actually runs.

03 · Curriculum

The meta-skill, alongside.

System-design-first prompting, dual-AI auditing, gated phases, verify-your-own-outputs, tool selection. The durable skills that keep working when the models change.

04 · Stay current

AI news & tech briefings.

What's changed this week that actually matters. Not a newsletter — a working operator's read on which model releases, tools and patterns are worth paying attention to and which ones aren't.

03 Who it's built for

Solo operators and early founders. Specifically.

This program isn't for everyone. It's built for one specific kind of person.

Who it's for

  • Solo operators or small teams (1–3 people) running an active business
  • Resellers, e-comm operators, service businesses doing 50–500 transactions/month
  • Early founders who need senior mentorship, not info
  • People who want to own the build — not just buy a finished system
  • Operators who learn by doing, not by watching

Who it's not for

  • People wanting "do it for me" delivery — that's Fractional CTO, a different product
  • People without an active business to apply the learning to
  • People wanting purely theoretical AI training — there are cheaper YouTube playlists
  • People who won't show up to the weekly call most weeks

If the program isn't right for you we'll say so on the audit call.

04 What it costs

One program length. The number comes out of the audit.

Every Project-Based AI Mentorship engagement runs 3 months and is scoped per mentee:

  • 3-month program. One automation built for your business from the curated list. The meta-skill embedded across the build. AI news & tech briefings throughout. A working system you own at the end.

The actual number for your business comes out of the audit call — priced on stage, scope, and how much we're building together vs you running ahead between calls. Pricing follows the audit, not the prospectus, because generic prices get generic results.

05 What gets built

An automation you own. Built around your business.

By the end of the 12 weeks, you have a working automation running inside your business — picked from the curated list, built with you, owned by you. This is the kind of system the same patterns produce.

Example operations interface showing task status, priority and owner fields
EXAMPLE BUILD · SEO COMMANDER REMEDIATION QUEUE · SAME PATTERNS
  • Built across the same patterns you'll use — data layer, automation triggers, AI calls, reporting
  • Mentee owns the build — every component documented as it ships
  • Designed to be extendable, so you can keep building after the program ends

Real mentee testimonials land here once the first cohort completes the program. First cohort completes Q3 2026.
