Understand the machine.
Then drive it.

Six live webinars over two weeks, taught by the two people who built the software you'll be running. You VPN into our lab, fine-tune a model of your own, and leave able to read the next $100,000 pitch like a mechanic reads an engine. Twelve seats at $700 CAD — reserve yours with a $150 deposit.

October 13–24, 2026 · 12 seats · $700 CAD

What you get

Three things. All of them yours.

Six live webinars

Two weeks, live and heavy on Q&A — about 45 minutes working live on screen, 45 on your setup, every session recorded and yours to keep.

  • ✓ Oct 13–24, 90 min each
  • ✓ Optional Saturday labs
  • ✓ Private cohort Discord

One VPN into the lab

All hands-on work happens on the large computer — the cohort shares one VPN, and you drive it from your own laptop.

  • ✓ Nothing to install
  • ✓ Nothing to break
  • ✓ In sessions or between them

Your own stack to keep

You fine-tune a real small model on your own judgment, then take the whole open stack home — free forever, one-script install.

  • ✓ A model you trained
  • ✓ The platform is $0
  • ✓ Read our code first, on GitHub

Why we teach this

It's your data.
Keep it.

Every AI tool you rent works the same way: your contracts, your customer lists, and your messy Tuesday emails go to a foreign datacenter and teach someone else's system how your business works. We built a different one — Canadian-owned, running on hardware you own, free to download — and this course teaches you to run it yourself.

Own your data

Local means nothing ever leaves your machine — what's written on your hardware stays on your hardware.

Data sovereignty

Your data never crosses a border — compliant by architecture, not by promise. That's what Canadian-owned actually means.

Equal access

The tools the Fortune 500 pays billions for now run in a box in your office — education erases the last gap.

Pricing

One course. One price. That's it.

The software is $0 — the course is $700 CAD, every cohort, and that's the whole price list.

Twelve seats is a hard cap — the small group is the product. If October doesn't fit your calendar, the next run starts two weeks after this one ends. Get on the list and you'll hear first.

One email when November seats open — no spam.

Every cohort is $700 CAD — October, November, and every one after. The $150 deposit reserves your seat and is fully refundable within 7 days of the start.

Not a cohort person?

Learn it 1-on-1, on your own machine.

Private sessions with the person who built the platform — your data, your hardware, your pace. In person anywhere in the Vancouver area, or over remote desktop from wherever you are. One session or a standing weekly slot — we shape it around what you're trying to do.

Tell us what you want to learn and when — we confirm times by email within one business day.

Good fit if you learn faster with a human next to you than a webinar grid, or you want AI set up on your own hardware without the group pace.
