What you leave with

Not a certificate. A working tool.

Every participant walks out Sunday evening with one specific AI tool deployed in their actual context. Plus a 60-day roadmap and a peer network they keep.

A working AI tool

One specific AI implementation built by you (with an implementer at your table), deployed in your work, business or side project.

60-day roadmap

A printed engineering blueprint: what to extend in week 1, what to add in week 2, what to ship in month 2. No fluff.

A paired collaborator

You're matched with someone of complementary skill. The pair becomes your accountability and second set of eyes for months after.

Forge Club access

30 days free in The Forge Club after the intensive — monthly online masterclasses, archive, member chat, mentor access.

Hosts & operators

Practitioners with working stacks.

Every speaker has an AI system running in their own business for 4+ weeks. No theorists. No motivational coaches. Live stack demos only. Each operator sits with pairs for 2–3 hours after their case.

AI-SDR for B2B services
Stack demo →
Operator #2
RAG for franchise ops

Operator #3

Who should apply

Three things. That's it.

1

You have a real context

A working business, a side project earning income, a corporate role where AI would change your output, or a startup idea you can articulate in one sentence.

2

You can name a process

You can describe 1–2 processes in your day that currently eat too much time. Specific. Measurable in hours or dollars.

3

You build with your hands

You bring a laptop. You'll be working hands-on with an implementer at the table for 75-minute sprints. Not watching slides.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

What language is the intensive in? +

Mixed English and Russian. Pair matching considers language. Slides bilingual. Operators speak whichever language their pair needs. Bangkok #2 (if demand) may be EN-only for the local Thai market.

What's the refund guarantee? +

By 12:55 Saturday — end of Sprint 2 on Day 1 — you can stand up and leave. Full refund. No retention talk, no "let's discuss why", no awkward exit. This is announced from stage first thing Saturday morning.

What should I bring? +

Laptop with charger. Access to your business data (CRM read-only is enough). One specific pain point you want to solve. Willingness to work hands-on with another human for 8 hours × 2 days.

What's included in the price? +

2-day program, paired workspace, implementer at your table, "implementation passport" (24-page workbook), lunches both days, Saturday networking dinner, 60-day roadmap (printed), 30 days free Forge Club access.

Can I bring a teammate? +

Yes. Team pair (550 EUR for 2) discount. We recommend different roles though — owner + ops person works much better than two of the same role.

Can I bring my own pair? +

Yes. Mention them in the application. If their application is also accepted, you're matched. Otherwise we match by complementary skill on Day 1.

What happens after the intensive? +

60-day roadmap. Forge Club access (49 EUR/mo after first 30 free days). Option to return as graduate-speaker at 4–6 week mark. Mentor chain invitation if you want to help the next cohort.

How do I get there? Where to stay? +

Final venue address sent 7 days before. Sukhumvit area, 15–20 min from central BTS. We share a curated list of hotels and short-term stays once registered. No parking provided — use BTS or Grab.
