Who This Is For

  • How to evaluate new AI tools so you stop wasting money on shiny apps that don't deliver

Your Instructor

Senior Software Engineer & AI Practitioner

Your instructor is a Brisbane-based senior software engineer who has been coding professionally since 2019. He uses AI tools every single day — in his day job in the city, and in his personal life — to write code, draft documents, research ideas, automate workflows, and think more clearly. He's not an academic studying AI from the outside. He's a practitioner who has lived through the GPT-3, GPT-4, Claude, and agent-era shifts in real time, and built real things with each of them.

He stays on top of the latest models, tools, and trends — and understands the fundamentals well enough to separate hype from substance. What AI can actually do today. What's coming next. Where to look for signal in a sea of noise. And, most importantly, how to translate all of it into practical leverage for the work you already do.

No academic theory. No "thought leadership" fluff. Just what works, distilled into one focused day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I'm not technical?

Perfect — this workshop is designed for professionals, not programmers. If you can use a web browser and type, you're qualified. We focus on practical AI skills, not coding.

What's the refund policy?

Full refund, no questions asked. If you need to cancel for any reason — anytime before the day — just email us and you get a full refund.

What do I need to bring?

Just your laptop and charger. Setup instructions — including which free accounts to create beforehand (ChatGPT, Claude, and a couple of others) — will be sent ahead of the event.

What if it sells out?

Join the waitlist. We're planning additional dates based on demand. Waitlist members get first access to new workshops before they're announced publicly.

Can my company pay for this?

Absolutely. Many attendees expense this as professional development. You'll receive a proper tax invoice from Stripe upon payment. ABN provided on request.

How is this different from online courses?

You'll be in a room with up to 9 other professionals and an instructor who uses AI daily. You can ask questions in real time, get unstuck immediately, and build alongside peers. One day, one room, real skills.

Where exactly is it?

Brisbane CBD. The exact venue and address will be shared with confirmed attendees closer to the event date.

What happens after the workshop?

You get lifetime email access to the instructor for follow-up questions, plus automatic enrolment in the private alumni newsletter with ongoing tips and updates as the AI landscape evolves.
