01 Why now

You know you should be using AI.

Every week there is a new tool, a new buzzword, another expert telling you that you are behind. You have probably tried ChatGPT once or twice and never turned it into anything that actually helps. Meanwhile the businesses that get this right are pulling ahead.

  • What we hear most
  • Too many tools, no clear starting point.01
  • Jargon that hides what actually matters.02
  • No time to figure it out alone.03
  • A nagging feeling you are getting left behind.04
02 What you leave with

By 4pm, you will have this working. Not notes about it.

Most courses send you home with a workbook you never open. You leave here with the thing itself, plus the understanding to keep going.

A working AI agent, set up on your businessNot a demo account. It runs on your real business before you leave the room.
A plain-English grasp of how AI actually worksThe models, tokens and cost, explained without the jargon. The mental model most people never get.
The confidence to use these tools yourselfYou drive all day, hands on the keyboard, so it sticks long after.
A clear next step you can act on MondayYou leave knowing exactly what to do first, written down.

03 The tools

We build with Claude first. You will understand the whole field.

There is no single best AI. We show you what each of the major models is good at, so you can pick the right one for the job. On the day we work mainly with Anthropic's Claude, and here is why.

Our primary tool

Claude
Anthropic

It is the model we trust to sit at the centre of the agent you build. Practical, reliable, and genuinely good to work with.

Why Claude leads the day
  • Strongest at reasoning and following instructions, so the agent you build actually behaves.
  • Writes in a clear, natural voice that sounds like a person, not a robot.
  • Holds a huge amount of context at once, enough to work across your whole business.
  • Built with safety and reliability first, which matters the moment it touches real work.

04 In the room

You leave with an AI agent that knows your business.

The heart of the day is building one thing that matters: an AI agent trained on your business. An agent that understands how you work, that you can point at real tasks, and that you will know how to keep building on long after you leave.

Trained on your businessIt learns your services, your customers and the way you actually work. Not a generic bot.
Builds real-world toolsPoint it at real jobs. Automating your data and reporting is one thing it can do for you.
You leave knowing howYou walk out with the understanding to keep extending it, and accelerate from here.

06 Honest fit

Who it is for. And who it is not.

The room works because everyone in it wants the same thing: a real result, in a day. Here is how to tell if that is you.

A good fit

This is for you if

  • You run a business and want a real result, not theory.You will build on your own business, not a demo account.
  • You are time-poor and want a shortcut.One focused day beats months of piecing it together after hours.
  • You are willing to sit down for a day and build something.Come ready to work. You will leave with it done.
Book my seat Sounds like you?
Not this time

This is not for you if

  • You want a certificate more than an outcome.We hand you a working agent, not a printout for the wall.
  • You are looking for deep, developer-level machine learning.This is practical AI for owners, not model training or code.
  • You are not willing to touch the tools yourself.The value is in the doing. We guide, you drive.

Not quite the right fit? Leave your email and we will point you to something that suits you better.

07 · Don't get left behind

The businesses moving on AI now are quietly pulling away from the ones that wait.

While you weigh it up, the business down the road is already answering customers faster, following up sooner and cutting the busywork. The gap does not stay still, it compounds. One focused day is how you get on the right side of it, before it widens.

08 Who runs the day

A Gold Coast consultancy that has spent five years making this work.

Basic Solutions is a Gold Coast consultancy led by Anthony Balsamo. For the last five years we have done one thing: make automation and AI actually work for real businesses. Not slides, not theory, systems that run. You are learning from people who do this for a living, not someone who read about it last week.

09 · The honest case

You could piece this together yourself. Most people never do.

There are hundreds of free videos and a thousand tools. That is exactly the problem. On your own, it is weeks of trial and error, and most people stall. In one day, with someone who does this for a living sitting next to you, you skip the guesswork and walk out with it done.

10 Why only 10 seats

Ten founders in the room. On purpose.

Most AI programs pack 20 to 30 people in and charge the same, or more. You leave with notes and a lanyard. We cap the room at 10 for one reason: real results. To guarantee you walk out with a working agent, we need the time to work with you one-on-one, and that is only possible in a small room.

Most programs
20–30in the room

Same price, often more. You are one of a crowd, the presenter never reaches your business, and you go home to figure it out alone.

This workshop
10founders, capped

One-on-one help all day, a working agent built on your business, and a guarantee we can actually stand behind.

One-on-one time, actually

We sit beside you and build on your business. That only works while the room stays small.

A result we can guarantee

The guarantee holds because we have the time to get every founder to a working agent, not just the quick few.

A room worth being in

Ten founders, not a lecture hall. A genuine chance to meet like-minded owners solving the same things you are.

12 Questions

Everything you might be wondering.

Yes. That is exactly who it is for. No jargon, plain English, and one-on-one help all day.

A laptop and your business. We send a short checklist when you book.

No. We use tools you can start with for free or low cost, and we tell you honestly what is worth paying for.

No. You leave with a working agent you built. If you later want us to do more, great, but the day stands on its own.

Just transfer to our next cohort. One thing to note: the founding price is exclusive to the first two cohorts (July and August). If you transfer to a later cohort, you will simply cover the difference to the standard price.
