The AI Boutique OS Accelerator: Build, Automate, Get Clients - No Code Required
Andrea Marchiotto
Founder @ BC Labs | Author | AI Builder
The gap isn't tools. It's the operating system around them.
Every week, another founder buys another AI tool. Most never see ROI. Not because the tools are wrong, because the system around them doesn't exist yet.
I built BlackCube Labs from scratch: 30+ AI systems, a $7K to $9K/month client contract, 600+ media placements through my own AI PR service, and a community of 630+ founders, zero paid ads, zero outside capital.
I learned the hard way: the technology almost never fails. The operating system around it does.
This cohort is the operating system. Not a course on tools. A live build of your consultancy's core infrastructure: your niche, your offer, your automation stack, your client acquisition loop, and your first paying client playbook.
In 15 seats. With someone who does this for a living.
What you’ll learn
Build the operating system for your AI consultancy, real systems, real clients, no code. From niche to first paying client in 4 to 6 weeks.
Use the BCL "Bootstrap Layer Cake" model to sequence your revenue streams
Avoid the commoditization trap: position around adoption, not just tools
Walk away with a one-page offer document clients can say yes to
Design your first agentic workflow using tools like Make.com, Airtable
Apply the SIPOC methodology to map your process before automating it
Learn the zero-cognitive-load principle: build for how clients actually work
Deploy the Partnership Funnel Automation: warm intros, follow-ups, and booking
Use a cold/warm outreach marketing system for LinkedIn and WhatsApp that speaks like you
Build a client pipeline that runs while you sleep
Turn repeatable client work into a packaged, scalable offer
Study the Premium Release model: productized → 600+ placements → recurring
Price for premium positioning, not hourly survival
Set up Black Agent (BCL's chatbot) for client-facing automation
Connect it to your workflows for 24/7 lead qualification and onboarding
Founding seat students receive priority access ($500 white-glove setup)
Leave with a 90-day content and visibility roadmap
Apply the ARIA Framework for credible AI positioning (from my book 'Adopting AI for Business Transformation')
Use AEO/GEO principles to become visible in AI-native search

Who this course is for
You have real skills, in marketing, ops, product... and you know AI is changing what's possible. You need structure, not more inspiration.
You're already getting paid for your time, but you're capped. You want to move from one-off projects to a repeatable, automated practice.
You don't need a coding bootcamp. You need a business and systems layer: how to package, sell, deliver, and scale without a team behind you.
Prerequisites
Basic familiarity with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar)
You don't need to be an expert, but you should have used at least one AI tool for a real task, writing, research, or planning
A working niche hypothesis
You should arrive with at least a rough idea of who you want to serve and what problem you'd help them solve. Perfect is not required.
Access to Make.com (free tier is fine)
We'll use Make.com for automation exercises in Sessions 3 and 5. Create a free account before the course starts.

Testimonials
- Andrea showed great visionary skills, team collaboration, and the ability to motivate senior leadership to follow and fund his vision. An example is how he pioneered the most innovative project at Philips, Web3/NFT, and Metaverse, being a true change agent, good leader, and true intrapreneur.
Borja Matheu
Brand builder and marketing, art and web3 entrepreneur, LGBTQ+ coach - Andrea's ability to motivate and lead the team during uncertain times was truly impressive. He is a very humble and understanding leader. I appreciated his willingness to help me to improve my skillsets. He was highly collaborative, and I look forward to working on one of his ventures again.
Duygu Baki
Digital product designer | Web 3.0 | Metaverse - Andrea brought other functions in to help us understand and integrate the digital side of Foods. His consistent ambition to bring out his best self and ask the right questions to provoke we also bring the best is refreshing and makes for a fantastic learning curve.
Marko Tuševljak
Global Brand Manager Hellmann's - There are few visionary leaders like Andrea, and I’m glad to have had the pleasure of working and learning from him at Unilever as a fellow, like-minded ex-Amazon and great mentor and coach. Andrea is highly knowledgeable about new online business models, disruptive innovation, and digital marketing, a true asset to any start-up or company.
