AI training for companies

Your team is two days away from building with AI. Not just talking about it.

We run hands-on AI workshops for companies. Your people walk in sure this isn't for them and walk out building real tools themselves. No coding, no technical background — just your real work, turned into working tools in two days.

Two ways to start

Assess your team first.Send the free AI fluency assessment to your people and get a level distribution back — who's a bystander, who's already an operator, and where the training would land hardest.

Talk to us. A free discovery call, no pitch. We learn your team, your functions, and where the time goes, then design the workshop around it.

Why most AI training fails

The demo gap

Most AI training is a slide deck and a live demo. People watch. They touch nothing. By Monday it's gone, because watching is not learning.

The chatbot ceiling

Everyone gets stuck at the chat box: ask, answer, copy, paste. The real power sits one step past it, and almost nobody crosses over on their own.

The arc is the same in every workshop, and we've watched it with more than 600 people. Day 1 morning: “I'm not a tech person, this is for IT.” The doubt is loud, it's normal, and we name it out loud and walk everyone through together. By lunch on Day 2 those same people are building apps from a blank folder, running ahead of schedule, and asking what else they can build.

Three ways we work with companies

Team workshops

AI workshops for teams

Two hands-on days built around your real work. Your people stop watching demos and start building the tools that take work off their plate.

  • Hours of busywork, gone
  • The whole team levels up at once
  • Ideas shipped without joining an engineering queue
  • Tools they use on Monday, not slideware

Select engagements

AI consulting

We find where AI actually pays off in your work, then build the workflows to get there. No hype, no 80-slide deck that dies in a drawer.

  • Your AI budget spent where it returns
  • Workflows your team runs without us
  • Clarity on what's real and what's noise
  • Senior attention, a few clients at a time

Select engagements

1:1 AI coaching for CEOs

Private coaching for chief executives who want to lead AI from the front, setting direction instead of nodding along in meetings.

  • Sharper questions in every room
  • Faster, better decisions
  • Never get lapped by your own team
  • Confidential, one to one

Certification prep for teams

A newer ask, and a growing one: preparing whole teams for vendor AI certifications — Claude today, Google and others as their programs mature. It matters most where partner-network tiers depend on a headcount of certified staff, which turns certification from a personal badge into a commercial requirement.

The free study path already lives on this site: full exam guides, original question banks, and mock exams for all four Claude certifications. What companies buy from us is the pace — cohort scheduling, live coaching, and a dashboard showing who on the team is actually ready to sit the exam.

What people actually build

Every example below was built by a non-technical professional, most of it in a single day. Not demos — tools they walked out using.

A working app in 30 minutes

A delivery lead who had never written code built a full training app — web, desktop, and command line — in half an hour. No project queue, no budget ask.

Two days of reporting in two minutes

Messy Excel turned into a clean, branded business report. It flagged a problem in the numbers nobody had asked it to look for.

A report your CFO can talk to

A live dashboard with AI inside. The boss asks which project is in trouble and gets a straight, board-ready answer.

The angle that wins the deal

Point it at a target account. It finds who really signs, the angle that lands, and your own weak spots — before the first meeting.

Email that sounds like you

It learns your voice from your own writing. What comes out reads like a person wrote it.

Walk into every meeting briefed

A research tool, built overnight, that pulls how a client makes money, what their CEO cares about, and their latest news.

How we run it

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    We learn your team, your functions, and where the time goes. Free, no pitch.

  2. 2

    Custom design

    We build the agenda around your real workflows, and your people get set up before Day 1.

  3. 3

    Two-day delivery

    Hands-on, on-site or live online, about seven hours a day. Everyone builds; nobody just watches.

The only thing your team needs is a Claude subscription, which the company provides. Groups stay small enough that everyone ships something, and everyone who completes gets a certificate for your L&D records. Pricing is quoted per engagement, based on team size, format, and how much we customise.

Fit check

Good fit

  • You want the whole team using AI, in every function
  • Your staff is mostly non-technical and feeling left behind
  • You want real output, not an awareness session
  • You're ready to bring real work into the room

Not a fit

  • You want a one-hour keynote and a group photo
  • You're after general ChatGPT tips and prompting tricks
  • You want a passive demo where nobody touches a keyboard
  • You're not willing to work with your own data

The facilitators in the room

Three cofounders, two decades each of building and shipping. They run every session live, on-site or online.

Bharanidharan Viswanathan

Built 91mobiles, SaaSworthy, and Intoglo across 20+ years in B2C, B2B, and cross-border logistics. Deep on AI since 2021 — the models, the maths, and what separates real workflows from hype. Teaches with a builder's impatience for theory.

Shameek Chakravarty

20+ years building products across startups and big tech, from Amazon to Yahoo, plus two AI ventures. Has taught hundreds of professionals to build with AI.

Ramkumar R.

CEO coach and AI educator who has coached 100+ chief executives and senior leaders. Ran business units before that, so he knows P&Ls and how companies really work. Builds with AI every day.

What companies ask first

Our team isn't technical at all. Will they keep up?

That's exactly who this was built for. More than 600 people have been through it — sales, HR, ops, procurement, delivery. The interface is plain English; nobody writes code.

Will it stick after the two days?

People don't just learn, they build. Everyone leaves with their own working tools, set up on their own machine, made for their own job. It sticks because it's theirs, not a deck they forget by Friday.

Is our data safe? We handle sensitive information.

You control what the AI can see through a permission model. We handle setup before the workshop and cover data safety and anonymisation in the first session, before anyone touches real data.

Can you run it on-site?

Yes — on-site or live online. On-site usually works best for a single team learning together, and we'll recommend the format on the discovery call.

What does it cost?

It depends on team size, format, and how much we customise. Corporate programs are quoted per engagement, and we send a proposal after a short call.

Your team is already using AI. Two days decides if they're any good at it.

Start with the free team assessment, or book a call and we'll design the workshop around your work. We reply within one working day.
