Examples from other sprints
Different people.
Very different builds.
Strategy lead · National sports body
Turned meetings and spreadsheets into working systems.
- Understood AI and Claude Code. Learned how the tools worked, how to give them useful context and how to apply them to team planning and programme delivery.
- Built skills for meeting intake and programme tracking. Automated transcript intake, extracted actions and owners, and wrote updates into the real programme trackers.
- Rebuilt planning and reporting. Created HTML artefacts in Claude to visualise data, regenerated the annual team plan when its spreadsheet changed, and automated the reporting that followed meetings.

Start up founder · AI for KiwiSaver providers
Built a content system around his own thinking.
- Moved from AI theory into Claude Code. Learned how AI worked in practice and how to direct Claude Code through real work, from the first request to a usable result.
- Set up his context architecture. Built a folder and context structure around his business, ideas and voice, giving the content system a foundation he owned.
- Built and ran a content system. Created reusable skills that turned his ideas into finished pieces, and learned how to operate and refine the system himself.

Built the foundations of his new consultancy.
- Learned AI and Claude Code through the build. Worked through how AI behaved, how to use Claude Code and how to set up the context architecture for a new business.
- Built a second brain and a native CRM. Created a knowledge system that tracked its own changes and a CRM running in Claude, grounded in his own business context.
- Connected the systems to taking his business to market. Worked on how to build and run a content system, demonstrated his own setup, and moved the sessions on to his go-to-market approach.
↗ Progressed from building his systems to demonstrating them and planning his launch.

AI platform engineer · Connected tools and context
Connected Claude Code to the rest of her work.
- Put Claude Code to work on live sales information. Learned how to use Claude Code and automated updates to sales files with current company information.
- Built a shared context architecture. Organised the files so all her AI tools worked from the same source, with skills, scripts and hooks to enrich that context.
- Connected Slack and Claude Code in both directions. Built a Slack integration for two-way working and created reusable skills to support context enrichment and sales-file updates.

What changed at work.
“The skill worked perfectly and I did 2 reports with it last week - incredible.”
“Before this, I never thought to try out Claude Code because I assumed it was too technical for me. Mike got me past that in our first call, and now that I've rebuilt my whole context architecture in it, I'm saving at least 2 hours a week that used to go into updating stale source documents scattered across different Claude projects.”
“My skills are now scalable, what I could do for one team I can now do for my entire organisation.”
“The knowledge generated in my meetings is captured, actions are sent and reports are updated all through the skills I developed with Mike.”

Good questions.
Straight answers.
A little more before we talk.
Is this a group programme?
No. This is 1:1 coaching. Your curriculum and sessions are tailored to what you do, your current ability and what you want to achieve.
Which AI tool will we use?
We choose the platform around your goals and the tools you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini or Copilot. Your curriculum and workflows are tailored to that choice.
Do I need to be technical?
The curriculum starts at your current level. That might mean making better use of standard features in Claude or ChatGPT. If your goals call for it, we can go further into Claude Code, Codex, Obsidian and GitHub.
What if I already use AI every day?
Most people who come to me have already used AI for some time. We focus on capabilities and workflows you’re not yet getting the most out of. If you’re already advanced, we can work together on a harder build.
Will I build the same things as these students?
Not necessarily. Your goals, ability and tools determine your curriculum and what we build.
How are the sessions structured?
We start with an intake form and a 30-minute goals session. Then you have 4 hands-on coaching sessions, spread over no more than four weeks.
What if it isn’t working for me?
There’s a money-back guarantee after the first of the four coaching sessions if it isn’t working for you. And if I don’t think the Sprint is worth your money, I’ll tell you that up front.
You know there’s more.
Let’s build it.
Tell me about your work and where you want AI to help. We’ll work out whether the four-week programme is the right next step.
