Two hours
from zero to a working agent — no code
The entry session. You arrive with a phone and a job you'd like off your plate, and you leave with an AI agent that does part of it.
See dates and prices- Join by QRScan, type your first name, start. No account, no password, no card.
- Model arenaOne prompt, three models, names hidden. The room votes, then we reveal.
- Build your employeePick a role, describe the job, add what it needs to know. Forty minutes.
- Take it homeYour agent leaves as a file and a share link, with your best prompts written down.
One login
three products, one membership
The same tools you use live in the room are the ones you keep afterwards. Nothing to install, nothing to wire up.
- AlfyChatEvery major model in one place, with the cost of each message on screen.
- CircTurns a job description into a working agent you can share with a link.
- The GauntletA challenge game drilling the skills one workshop can't cover.
AlfyChat
every major model side by side, with a live cost meter
Multi-model chat built for a classroom: no API keys to manage, and the price of every answer visible while you learn.
- Every major modelClaude, GPT, Gemini and DeepSeek behind a single switcher.
- Blind compareOne prompt to three models at once. Names stay hidden until the reveal.
- Live cost meterPer-message and running totals on screen. Pedagogy, not a billing screen.
- Pooled creditsThe room runs on shared credits with a per-person cap, so nobody overspends.
Circ
your AI employee is a file you own
An AI employee is a persona, a job description and the knowledge it needs. Circ makes that a real file rather than a setting inside somebody's product.
- Role templatesClient screener, customer replier, quiz maker, caption writer.
- Share by link or QRAnyone you send it to can chat with it. Rate limits and a budget cap included.
- Yours to takeExports to a file that drops into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with no editing.
- Memory compoundsAn agent that has learned your business for six months is worth keeping.
- Never deletedIf access lapses the agent sleeps. It does not disappear.
The Gauntlet
eight levels — prompting, verification, cost, privacy, agent defense
A challenge game for the skills a workshop can't drill. Clear goal, instant feedback, rising difficulty — one level unlocks at a time, so there's a reason to come back.
- first wordsHit a precise spec: format, tone and language. Teaches specificity.
- the interrogationTalk a guarded agent into giving up its secret, over three rounds.
- hallucination huntA confident briefing on your industry hides three lies. Find them, against the clock.
- cheapskateFinish a real task under a hard budget. Forces a cheap model and a tight prompt.
- tripwireRedact a document before the AI sees it. Nothing sensitive may cross the line.
- real or ai?Spot the synthetic images, voices and video. Scored on streaks.
- broken employeeAn agent has been sabotaged. Repair it until it passes five hidden tests.
- the arenaWrite a defense, then attack everyone else's. The finale, scored by cohort.
The ladder
the top complaint after a workshop is no next step
Across the 700+ professionals we have trained in AI since 2018, the most consistent problem is what happens after a one-off workshop: nothing. So every session is a rung, not an event.
Download the agenda- Meet Your AI EmployeeTwo hours. The paid front door, and the session on this page.
- AI at WorkThe core series: four sessions that build on the entry session.
- Automation StudioThe missing middle between chatting with AI and shipping software.
- Executive BootcampTwo days, for leadership teams that need to decide, not dabble.
- MAIA certificationAssessment and badges that turn attendance into evidence.
Built in public
the demos are real software
Everything demonstrated in the room is working software, not a slide. A sample of what one person ships with the tools being taught.
- MinosA weekly benchmark scoring five providers on Tagalog, Bisaya and Khmer.
- KrubKaTwo-phone push-to-talk translator. Hand one over and speak across the language barrier.
- DispatchReal-time inventory and staff management with agents helping on the floor.
- KEOTracks how brands surface across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews.
- OgilvyA CMO agent that joins a video call and offers marketing takes, live.
- CarltonAn AI-written split-flap display. Venue furniture that shows the room's leaderboard.
Carlo Almendral
facilitator and builder — one person, shipping
The curriculum comes out of two things: teaching AI to working professionals since 2018, and building the software used in the demos.
- 700+ trained since 2018Professionals taught across teams, agencies, schools and small businesses.
- Learning by shippingHackathon-first. Every deliverable becomes a portfolio artifact you keep.
- Bangkok cohortsPublic sessions and in-house rooms for teams, run in person across the city.
- Taught in EnglishThe Thai round of the arena is judged by the room — which is itself the lesson.
