Course overview
You don't want to work with AI. You want AI to work for you.
Learning how to effectively utilise large language models is one of the fastest ways to build and accelerate your startup or career today.
An AI chatbot trained on your data that works could transform your business and work in impactful ways:
• From a SaaS founder struggling to build a well-functioning MVP to having users and investors beg to use your product and fund your idea.
• From an overwhelmed developer to effectively turning ideas in your head it into a working prototype.
• From an executive in an organisation spending a ton of money and time hiring and training analysts to becoming one of the few organisations in your industry that can analyse 1000s of pages in minutes instead of days.
Now, you could attempt to figure out a viable solution on your own via "free" content and trial and error. But this would likely waste valuable time and resources.
It'll cost you between $8k+ for your average developer and closer to $20k+ for more competent developers to build your MVP from scratch over several months without guaranteed results.
Alternatively, you could look for an "off-the-shelf" plug and play solution, but you'd lose the ability to have:
• 100% ownership of your IP.
• 100% privacy of your data.
• 100% flexibility to customise for your use case.
But there's a better way…
By the end of this program, you’ll be equipped with solid foundational knowledge and tools to build an MVP that can accurately 'chat' with custom data and delight users.
You'll avoid the wasted time and cost of getting started by using our proprietary done-for-you AI Chatbot Starter Kit that can be installed within a few minutes without losing your ownership, privacy, or flexibility — no programming experience required.
Here's what you'll get in the program:
• Self-paced workshops covering step-by-step visual guidance on how to build an AI-powered chatbot for your data — our low-code approach makes learning easy.
• Access to live (and pre-recorded) question-and-answer sessions with AI experts on optimal strategies and best practices.
• "100% done-for-you" AI Chatbot starter kit for your documents: Quickly set up a basic AI chatbot (including a UI) with minimal time and no programming experience to extend for your use case.
• Access to live office hours with Mayo to resolve any critical questions and challenges you're facing.
• A free 30-minute AI consultation with Mayo to successfully implement an AI strategy for your use case ($300 value).
• Fast-track assignments to help you complete your MVP chatbot faster.
• Curated resources, including recommended tools, visual guides, and templates to simplify and understand complex concepts.
• Private community access to other founders, entrepreneurs, and executives building and deploying their MVP chatbot in every use case imaginable.
• Lifetime access to course material.
• Bonus: Exclusive training on how to "chat" with large databases and CSV files, and more.
• Bonus: Access to surprise guest speakers, including alums and industry experts.
• Bonus: Showcase your MVP to 20,000+ potential users across Twitter, newsletter, and potentially YouTube.
