Next Forge · Perth CBD · 8 Seats

Forge the AI that runs your business.

Where founders build their suit.

Eight founders. One Perth boardroom. A full-day build session where you walk in with a business that runs you — and walk out with one you run from inside an AI.

Beta cohort · Fri 17 Apr or Wed 22 Apr · AIOS starter kit · lunch · end-of-day money-back guarantee

Mod.00 // The Problem

You didn't start your business to spend 80% of your week doing admin.

But that's where it ended up.

Next week never comes.

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're just running a business with no operating system.

Most founders don't have a bandwidth problem. They have an infrastructure problem.

Mod.01 // The Solution

What if your business ran on an AI you stepped into like a suit?

That's the AIOS — the AI Operating System. It's not another tool. It's the layer underneath your tools. It knows your business, sees your numbers, watches your inbox, drafts your replies, and hands you a daily brief before you've finished your coffee.

The Forge is where you build it. In one day.

Layer 01

Context

Your AI knows your business. Strategy, team, clients, history. Every session starts fully oriented.

Layer 02

Data

Your AI sees your numbers. Revenue, pipeline, traffic — pulled fresh from your actual tools.

Layer 03

Intelligence

Your AI watches everything. Meetings, messages, signals. You get a daily brief before breakfast.

Layer 04

Automate

Every task scored. Every recurring job automated. Bandwidth recovered, one task at a time.

Layer 05

Build

Apply that recovered bandwidth to growth, new products, or simply the life you started the business for.

Mod.02 // The Deliverable

At 3pm on workshop day, you'll have:

Your AIOS installed and running

On your laptop, connected to your real business tools. Not a demo — your actual system.

The 5 layers built

Context, Data, basic Intelligence, your first Automation, and your first Build — all working.

Your top 5 tasks audited and scored

For automation potential. You'll know exactly what to automate first — and what to never bother with.

A working AI that knows your business

Ask it anything about your numbers, your pipeline, your clients. It knows the answer.

Pre-built skills library

Research, scraping, transcription, email, calendar, Stripe, Airtable, and 15+ more — installed and ready.

The complete starter kit

Every template, command, and skill we use to run our own AI agency. Yours to keep.

This isn't "here's a slide deck about AI."
You leave with a working system on your laptop.

Mod.03 // Fit Check

Who The Forge is for.

For You If
  • You run an Australian business doing $1M+ a year
  • You're the bottleneck — nothing important moves without you
  • You've tried ChatGPT, heard of Make.com, maybe built a Zapier — and you know there's a bigger picture
  • You want to stop talking about AI and start running on it
  • You can spend one full day in Perth CBD on workshop day
Not For You If
  • You're looking for theory, frameworks, or "the future of work"
  • You don't actually use the tools you'd want to integrate
  • You want someone else to do it for you (we have an agency for that — ask us)
  • You can't commit to a full day off the tools
Mod.04 // The Day

The day, end to end.

Eight hours. Six modules. One working AIOS at the end of it.

08:00

Welcome + the demo

You see a fully-loaded AIOS in action. The "holy shit" moment.

08:30

Install the tools

Claude Code, Cursor, Wispr Flow. We walk you through every step.

09:15

Layer 01 — Context

Your AI learns your business. Strategy, team, clients, everything.

10:30

Layer 02 — Data + Skills

Connect your real tools. Stripe, Gmail, Calendar, Airtable, whatever you run on.

11:30

Layer 03 — Intelligence

Set up your daily brief. Wake up tomorrow to an AI that already read your inbox.

12:30

Lunch

Included. You'll need it.

13:00

Layer 04 — Automate

Task audit. Score every recurring job. Automate your first one before you leave.

14:00

Layer 05 — Build

Your first custom skill or app. The foundation for everything you'll build later.

14:45

Wrap-up + what's next

A one-page recovery plan. Where to go when you get stuck.

15:00

Done. Walk out with your suit.

Or ask for your money back. Your call.

You'll be on your laptop most of the day. We walk the room and unblock you whenever you're stuck. No one leaves without their AIOS running.

Mod.05 // Your Host
[ Photo: Sam
at April 4 pilot ]

Hi, I'm Sam Fielding.

I run Echelon AI, an AI automation agency. I built our entire agency on the AIOS framework — proposals, lead research, client onboarding, daily briefings, the lot.

It's the only reason a two-person team can run an agency, two marketing brands, and a workshop business at the same time.

I ran the first AIOS workshop on April 4, 2026 — a free pilot to a small group of founders. They left with working systems on their laptops. The Forge is the paid version of that day, polished, in a Perth boardroom, with everything I learned from the pilot baked in.

If your business is running you instead of the other way around, this day will change that.

— Sam

The End-Of-Day Guarantee

If you don't believe it, walk out with your money.

Sit through the full day. If you don't believe The Forge is going to change the way you run your business — tell us at 3pm and we refund you on the spot. No forms. No questions. No awkward email exchange next week.

We'd rather you leave with your money than leave with an AIOS you'll never use.

Mod.08 // FAQ

Questions we hear all the time.

Do I need to be technical?

No. You need to be able to use a laptop and follow instructions. We'll handle the rest. The pilot cohort included a marketing director, a tradie, a coach, and a SaaS founder — none of them were "developers."

What do I need to bring?

Your laptop (Mac or Windows), your business credentials for the tools you want to connect (Gmail, Stripe, Calendar, etc.), and your appetite. We provide everything else.

What if I can't install Claude Code beforehand?

We have you covered. The first 45 minutes are dedicated to install + setup, walking everyone through it together.

Will I actually leave with a working system?

Yes. That's the whole point. No one leaves without their AIOS running on their laptop, connected to their real tools.

What happens after the workshop?

You walk out with a working AIOS on your laptop and the knowledge to keep building. If you want ongoing help, we offer three options: a monthly support retainer, done-for-you builds where we automate your top tasks for you, and advanced workshops that go deeper. None of these are required — most attendees run with what they learned on the day.

What if I get stuck during the day?

Raise your hand and one of us comes over. We walk the room all day. After the workshop, you have everything you need to keep building on your own — and if you want ongoing help, the retainer is there.

What if I don't think it was worth it?

Tell us at 3pm and we refund you on the spot. No forms, no questions. We'd rather you leave with your money than leave unhappy.

Is this for solo founders or teams?

Both. If your team is going to use it, send your operator with you (or buy a second seat). Most attendees come solo.

Can I expense this?

Yes. We send a tax invoice with GST. Most attendees expense it as business training or software.

What's the difference between this and a Make.com / Zapier course?

Make.com and Zapier are tools. The AIOS is the operating system that uses them. Coming to The Forge is like learning to drive — once you can drive, picking up a new car (a new tool) is easy. Make.com and Zapier courses teach you one car.
