Learn to get the best from modern AI tools from someone who gets the best from modern AI tools.

Who This Is For

If you want to increase your productivity, these classes are designed for you. I'll show you how to leverage what you already know to build a practical skill set that helps you get the best from AI tools.

My Background (more below)

I have had a long career in IT, from starting as a C++ Developer in 1996 to running tech teams for cutting-edge technology businesses in the UK and overseas. I worked as the Director of Technology for what would now be called a Big Data company. I managed technical procurement and a technology transition programme for what was Europe's most heavily invested startup.

I've been using AI tools for the past 3 years to improve my productivity and for coding. I use them in every aspect of my business: generating content for classes and courses, creating websites and web applications, promotional materials, marketing, automation, writing—everything.

We are now at the point where in-depth coding skills are less relevant. Anyone who gets in at this level with these new technologies will become widely more effective and productive than the technophobes.

"This technology transition really is different because it is recursively accelerating itself.

Trust me, this isn't just another bubble.

Don't ignore it."

AI is making AI more effective and productive, which is making AI more effective and productive, and so on... Being left out of this will be a real problem for anyone in a position where productivity and effectiveness are important, which is pretty much every information worker.

Over time, I will go through all of my marketing, automation, and content creation live so you can see real-world applications delivered online in real time.

Robert Mitchell — Technologist & Founder

I help small and medium businesses put practical, secure automation to work. It's a natural extension of a 25+ year career spent building software, taming large-scale data systems, and running the complete technology stack of a modern online business single-handedly. I've been the engineer, the architect, and the founder who has to make it all actually work in the real world — which is exactly the perspective I bring to training and consultancy today. I also did a few bits and bobs in technology before that.

Technology Highlights

• 1.8 billion transactions a year — Owned the transformation and analysis of 1.8 billion transactions annually across high-performance data repositories from Chicago to Hong Kong.
• From loss to profit — Helped move a business from a £1.5M/year reliance on investor funding to a £1.5M net profit.
• Half the cost, triple the output — Cut departmental costs by 50% while supporting three times as many implementations and shipping more software across more platforms.
• Radical efficiency — Consolidated an entire IT estate into a virtual environment, cutting physical servers to under 10% of the original.
• Big data, early — Built systems handling tables of hundreds of millions of rows in forensic data mining, one of the UK's leading capabilities of its kind.
• £700M client delivery — Led a 750-store enterprise rollout on time and on budget, rated by the client as one of their most successful projects.
• Self-taught C++ engineer — Entered a fiercely competitive field from a standing start and rose to lead multi-team, multi-continent product delivery.
• Agile pioneer — Early adopter and evangelist of eXtreme Programming, the precursor to modern agile, at one of the first UK software houses to embrace it.
• Founder-technologist, 10+ years — Designed, built, and run every technical system behind a modern online and in-person training business: websites, video and audio production, podcasts, live streaming, subscriptions, email, marketing, and events technology.
