Build Your First AI Employee — For Free
A free, hands-on workshop every Wednesday in Kingston. Walk in with curiosity, walk out with a real, working AI Employee built for your business.
Every Wednesday
Fractal Workspace, Kingston
Or join virtually
What You'll Build
Two hours. One working AI Employee.
This isn't a lecture. You'll install real tools, configure a real AI, and leave with something that actually works for your business.
Configure your AI Employee
Give it a personality, set its focus, and teach it about your business — what you do, who you serve, and how you work.
Connect it to your tools
Link your AI to messaging platforms like Telegram so you can communicate with it naturally, from anywhere.
Put it to work
Test it live with real tasks — drafting responses, answering questions, researching topics — and see the results immediately.
What you'll walk away with
A real AI Employee running on your own hardware, ready to assist with your day-to-day business tasks.
- AI software installed and configured on your machine
- A custom AI personality trained on your business context
- Messaging integration so you can chat with it anytime
- Hands-on experience building and testing AI workflows
- Ideas for where AI can save you the most time
Completely free
No cost, no commitment

Founder, AMTEX Digital · Kingston resident for 20+ years
I've spent 30+ years at the intersection of business and emerging technology — from the early internet to mobile apps to AI. I run these workshops because I believe every Kingston business owner deserves hands-on access to what's next, not just a sales pitch. Come build something real.

Reviews
What past workshop attendees say
Real feedback from people who've learned to build with AI — most with zero tech experience walking in.
"I'm not a programmer, and was able to follow all the instructions under the teacher's guidance. Every step was explained in a clear and simple manner. As a workshop facilitator myself, I was so impressed — the course gets full marks, 5 out of 5."
"It was fantastic! I feel much more confident speaking to AI applications now that I've had the opportunity to complete my first project. Can't wait to go deeper and keep exploring. Thanks for everything!"
"I had no idea how to use automation tools, but step by step I learned how to build my own workflows. This gave me not only the technical skills but also the confidence to keep exploring and creating."
"I got actual experience starting up on an automation workflow. I felt confident enough to start incorporating more AI in my workflows. I highly recommend this camp!"
"It helped me get a clear sense of what tools are out there and how they actually work together. I liked that we jumped in and started building very early on."
"As a non-technical person very interested in AI, I came away with a much better understanding of the tools available. I am also very glad I had the opportunity to develop new contacts in the space."
