01 / Next cohort · September 2026 · eight weeks, live, small group

Eight weeks to build a Business Brain your company owns.

You already use AI every day. Your company knowledge still lives in scattered chats that forget you. In eight weeks you build the memory, the written jobs and the first agent that runs from them, in files you own.

  • First 10 seats: €399
  • After the first 10: €499
  • Planned standard price for future cohorts: €1,299.

02 / What is in it

A working Business Brain, and the support to finish it.

Build

An in depth build, not a course you watch

Eight modules in a fixed order, each one leaving a working part of the system behind. You build on your own business, with your own data, all the way through.

In the room

Both of us on every call

Egils Boitmanis and Gianluca Giuliani are in the room together. Put your own screen up and ask whichever of us is closer to the problem. Between calls, there is a channel for the technical questions.

After week eight

An invitation to the AIOS Builders Board

Finish with a working Business Brain and you are invited to the AIOS Builders Board, where graduates bring a real build, a real problem or a real decision for the group to read properly.

For twelve months

A year on the platform

The AIOS framework videos, the skills library and every session recording are included for twelve months from your start. Anything added during your access is included.

Open method

The method stays free

The public AIOS skills library is on GitHub under CC BY 4.0. Take it, change it and ship it with attribution. What you pay for is the date, the build order and the room.

The schedule

  • One onboarding call before you start, to get your setup right rather than spending week one on it.
  • Eight weekly module calls, live, one per module.
  • Eight weekly open question calls, separate from the module call, where we work on specific problems people bring.
  • Two extra small group calls, each one grouped by industry.
  • Every session recorded, so a missed week is not a lost week.
  • A channel between the calls for the questions that do not wait until Thursday.
  • After week eight, an invitation to the AIOS Builders Board.

Five to seven hours a week is written as a fact and not as a suggestion. It is the number that decided who finished the first cohort. If you cannot find it in your calendar before you pay, do not pay.

05 / Why join

Why a cohort, when the method is free

The method is public and free, and some people should just take it. If you read a repository on a Sunday and have it running by Tuesday, do that, and we mean it.

What you cannot download is a room of people building the same thing in the same week. Nothing inside a method makes you open the folder in week five, when it has stopped being fun and nobody is waiting for anything. A date with other people in it does.

The ones who stalled in the first cohort were not the least technical. They were the ones with nothing in their week that made them open the folder.

  • Runs his own business, his health and his family logistics out of one system he built himself, and has been building it in public long enough to know which parts hold.
  • Wrote the method that this cohort teaches. The skills library is published under CC BY 4.0, so you can read what you are being taught before you pay for it.
  • Ran the first cohort and published what happened, including the parts that did not work.
  • Teaches the way he built the thing he uses every day, and stays close enough to fix it when yours breaks.
Gianluca Giuliani

Why Gianluca

See the profile
  • Co-creator of LivingOffAI, and on every call in this cohort alongside Egils.
  • Comes at the same problem from the building side, so between the two of you there is usually someone closer to whatever is broken on your screen.

What the first cohort says

About twenty people joined the first cohort.

People who have been through the program, on camera, in their own words. The line printed next to each video is that person's own sentence from the same recording.

  • I am not a technical person, so this seemed like a big challenge. But I have created so much.

There are more and I am not publishing them until each person has confirmed their own words. If that seems slow, it is the same rule that keeps your data off this page.

The anonymous stories will appear here as each person approves theirs, including the ones that stalled.

07 / The eight weeks

What each week builds

Eight modules, in a fixed order, each leaving a working part behind. You do not choose the order. That is the part that turns a system you started into a system you finished.

  1. Week 01

    Constitution

    The rules your AI reads before it answers anything: what the business is for, how you talk, what it must never do.

    • What the business is for, who depends on you, and how you want to be spoken to.
    • The rules it must never break without asking: send, spend, delete, publish, or speak in your name.
    • What has gone wrong with an AI before that must not happen again.
    • The test that ends the week: a brand new chat answers something it could only know from what you wrote.
  2. Week 02

    Company context

    Your clients, offers, numbers and history in one place, so you stop retyping your business into every new chat.

    • Clients, offers, prices and history in one place instead of in your head.
    • Your CV, your site and your LinkedIn read in, so the first draft is not an empty form.
    • The areas your business actually has, in your words, not a template someone sold you.
    • The point where you stop retyping your business into every new chat.
  3. Week 03

    Memory

    A structure that keeps growing instead of resetting. Next month's answer knows what you decided last month.

    • One master file per folder, so nothing you wrote is invisible to the next session.
    • What belongs in memory and what does not, which is the rule most people get wrong.
    • Dating facts, so a fact that has gone stale can be retired instead of quietly lying to you.
    • Keeping contradictions rather than resolving them, because that pair is how you see what changed.
  4. Week 04

    Skills

    Work you repeat, written down once and called by name. This is where a role starts, one written job at a time.

    • The entry test: something you have now done three times the same way.
    • Writing one job down once so it runs the same way every time.
    • Your first three, and the rule that the fourth waits until the loop has closed once.
    • Trigger words, so you call a method by name instead of describing it again.
  5. Week 05

    Tools

    The brain plugged into what you already use: calendar, mail, files, your ad account, so it works from real data instead of your description of it.

    • The brain plugged into the calendar, the mail, the files and the ad account.
    • What it may read, what it may draft, and what it may never do without you.
    • Why a rule in a prompt is a request and a rule in the permission layer is a wall.
    • One connection that makes a number real instead of your own report of yourself.
  6. Week 06

    Agents

    One job that runs from start to finish without you. The one to pick first is the job that comes back every week.

    • Picking the job that comes back every single week, which is the one to hand off first.
    • The four questions that decide whether a job may run alone.
    • Building one: the accountability one, the marketing one, the sales one, or the follow up.
    • The boundary, in writing: it drafts and prepares, you send anything that commits the business.
  7. Week 07

    Retrieval

    A way to find what you already wrote when you need it. This is the skill that decides whether the rest of the system gets used.

    • The part that decides whether everything above ever gets used again.
    • Finding what you already wrote at the moment you need it, not two days later.
    • The weekly review that reads your output and your numbers and reports on those, never on you.
    • The loop closing once, unasked. This is the exit test for the whole build.
  8. Week 08

    Portability and what survives

    A clear path to move your data, and a measurement set up in week one so we know what is still alive 180 days later.

    • Moving the whole thing to a different engine, and doing it once so you know it works.
    • What you own and what you are renting, written down for your own system.
    • The measurement set up in week one, so in six months there is a fact instead of a feeling.
    • Where it goes after week eight: the board, and what you bring to your first turn.

How a week actually runs

Each module call is the week's build, and the second call is your problem on the screen. Bring the thing that is not working. Most weeks somebody else has already hit it, which is the whole reason for being in a room instead of a repository.

08 / Who it's for

Is this cohort for you

This is for you if

  • You run a business or advise businesses, and the decisions land on you
  • You already use AI weekly and you are tired of it forgetting
  • You want your business data in files you can move, not only in a vendor's memory
  • You are willing to do the basic setup as pre-work, so the live calls go to content and usage, not assembly
  • You can put five to seven hours a week into this for eight weeks

This is not for you if

  • You want a finished tool you simply log into
  • You want someone else to build it for you
  • You are looking for a general introduction to AI
  • You cannot join the weekly calls or watch the recordings
  • You want the information rather than the deadline. It is all free on GitHub and you should take it.
  • You cannot find five to seven hours a week for eight weeks. This is the one that decided who finished last time.

Selective on purpose. We read every application. A call is optional if you want one.

10 / Questions

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You need to follow instructions and be stubborn when something does not work the first time.
Is this another ChatGPT course?
No. You leave with agents that run from your own memory, not with a folder of prompts.
Which AI tools do I need?
One paid AI subscription, Claude or ChatGPT or similar. Everything else we use has a free tier, and we tell you before anything costs money.
How much time per week?
Five to seven hours: two live calls plus your own building time.
Who owns what I build?
You do. The files sit on your machine, the code sits in your repository.
Are the sessions recorded?
Yes, every one of them.
What happens after eight weeks?
You have a working brain and a rhythm to keep it. The platform, the videos, the skills library and the recordings are included for twelve months from your start.
What if it is not for me?
Full refund any time before your cohort starts. Full refund during the first two weeks if you find it is not for you, one email is enough. After that there are no refunds, it is a small group and your seat was taken from someone.

Build it on your own business, with your own data.
