Become a power administrator. No code skill required.
Two to four hours, one-on-one, your project on the screen. Not a course, not a webinar — a working session where you learn AI by doing the actual work, on your actual stuff. Sessions get set up by arrangement: a quick talk about what you want to learn, then a slot that fits — over Google Meet, because online keeps the whole session in the work. In person is possible — your place, the library, your shop — but rolling out means travel time on the meter, so video is the better deal. AI builds it. An engineer signs off. You keep the money — and you leave a better owner, a better manager, a better administrator. The true power administrator of 2026 isn't the one who writes the code — it's the one who directs the machines, checks the work, and owns the call.
How it runsSet up by arrangement. Worked like a job.
Talk first, then the clock — Meet or in person+
Sessions aren't a fixed schedule — they're set up around you. We talk first: what you want to learn, what you're building, where you're starting from. Then we pick a slot that fits both calendars — the Google Meet link arrives with the invite, and that's the whole paperwork.
Online is the way. Screen-sharing is where the work happens — yours or ours — and a video session puts the whole clock on your project. In person is on the table too: your house, the library, your shop. Just know travel time rides the meter the same as work time, which is why most sessions stay on Meet.
You drive when you can, we drive when you're stuck, and either way you're watching real work get done in real time, with the reasoning out loud. No slides. No syllabus written for somebody else.
Straight talk: two hours is a skill. Four hours is a transformation. Pick the size that matches the goal — the rate doesn't change.
The benchOur AI is better than your AI. Here's why.
25 years in — humans still review everything+
We've been developing for twenty-five years. Back when a prototype took six months — six months of work just to put something in front of somebody and talk about what might work, before anything real ever got built. Now we talk to machines and task ten different things to do ten different things at once. You could never task a team of humans like that. It never worked that way.
But here's where people get confused: the humans still review everything. Nothing leaves this company without at least two sets of human eyes on it — at least twice. We don't offer a service we haven't looked over, and we're not going to rely on something we're still training. Neither should you.
You've had AI since 2022. We've been training ours since 2000. Same tools on the shelf — a different bench behind them. That's what a session actually buys you: the bench.
And it's not a slogan — we're one of the top firms in the country using AI correctly, and we can prove it. OpenAI ranks us in the top 1% of GPT users in the United States, measured on what we build. Public GPT didn't exist until late 2022 — we were in the invited pool that had it years before that. Roughly half a million accounts got that invite; if you weren't one, you know. Want to ask how we had GPT two years before you did? Please do — call us.
Straight talk: the tools are the same for everyone. Twenty-five years of judgment about what to ask them for is not.
Level 01 · BeginnerGPT for real work — done right the first time.
ChatGPT — design · copywriting · website · HTML5 — ~2 hrs+
For the basic GPT user: you have the account, you've asked it things, now let's make it useful. Four solid blocks — design, copywriting, your website, and clean HTML — taught on your own material, not canned examples.
And here's the part most people won't tell you: we stop at HTML5 with ChatGPT. Past that line it writes code that looks right and runs wrong, and that's how people get in trouble — a half-built thing nobody can fix. When you hit that wall, you're ready for Level Two.
Why the wall matters: past HTML5, ChatGPT produces confident, broken code. Learning where the line is saves you the rescue bill later.
Level 02 · IntermediateTools that write code — and you, still in charge.
Claude & Codex — modular code · the language map — ~3 hrs+
For people past the basics. Claude and Codex don't draft paragraphs — they build software. That means the skill changes: less "ask it a question," more modular code, reading what it wrote, and knowing which language does what.
This is the level where it clicks: what a module is, when you need Java versus SQL versus something else entirely — what they do and what they mean, so "use the right tool" becomes a decision you make, not a slogan you heard.
Reality check: you don't need to write the code — you need to be able to read it well enough to say no.
Level 03 · Web BuilderCome in with no code skill. Leave a power administrator.
Zero to shipping on your real project — ~4 hrs+
That's the product. Not "exposure to coding," not "a feel for it" — the working ability to take a site from a blank folder to a live page, with AI doing the typing and you doing the thinking, the checking, and the shipping. That's not an engineer — engineers earned that title over years, and they're still who we call for the last pass. This is the seat above the work: the person who can scope it, direct it, check it, and ship it.
The long sessions live here: your real project, start to finish, with an engineer beside you the whole way. Structure, files, deployment, the mistakes that only show up in the wild. People pay bootcamps five figures for a worse version of this — stretched over months, taught on toy apps. This is one afternoon at a time, on the thing you actually want to build.
Straight talk: one 4-hour session won't make you senior. It will make you dangerous enough to keep going — and that's the whole point.
The honest mathIf your engineer is mad, dump him.
Where the money goes — mad vs. smart engineers+
You can use ChatGPT and Codex to build a website. You can use them to build an application. That's not hype — we do it every day, and after Level Three so can you. What you won't get without Claude or Devin is sound — the structure that holds when real users lean on it. And yes, a real engineer still takes the last pass. We say that upfront because it's true.
But here's the part that changes the economics: by the time your project reaches that engineer, your cost should be so low the invoice reads like a review fee — not a build. If the engineer you hand it to is angry, understand why: he's mad because he can't milk you anymore. Dump him.
The smart ones — and we like to think we're in that pile — run through what you built and say "you did a great job." Then we help you sell it. We don't have huge egos here. We like to make money — and there's more of it in finishing a hundred smart builds than in pretending AI can't do the first ninety percent.
Straight talk: the first ninety percent belongs to you and the AI now. The last ten percent is a fee, not a ransom — from us, or from anyone honest.
BookingSame hour, three sizes.
Flat $75/hr · same rate every level+
Flat per-hour rate — $75 an hour, same on every level. The only decision is how deep you want to go today. Level and length both get set when you book — tell us where you're starting and where you want to land.
One skill, tight. Pick one block off a level and work it end to end — a tune-up, a copywriting pass, one module explained until it's yours.
A level, done right. The natural fit — cover a level's ground with room left over for your project's own questions.
The deep dive. Level material plus hands-on work on your actual site or codebase. Bring the messy one.
How to book: sessions are set up by arrangement — tell us what you want to learn and we pick a slot that fits both calendars; the Meet link arrives with the invite. Call 209-672-0033 or email the desk.
Session, not class: this is the flexible lane — your material, your clock, your questions. If you want the structured course instead — the coursework, the quizzes, a real class day on Tuesdays and Thursdays — that's the class.
Fine printYou leave with more than notes.
What you actually leave with · who this is for+
- ✓Everything we built stays yours. Files, drafts, markup, notes — created on your accounts, saved to your drive.
- ✓A written recap. What we did, in the order we did it, so you can repeat it without us.
- ✓The honest ceiling. You'll know exactly where each tool stops being useful — including the HTML5 wall on Level One.
- ✓A next step that isn't us. The goal is you not needing the session anymore. We'll say when you're there.
Three people book this.
You pay for every little website change and you're tired of it. Level One alone pays for itself the first time you don't have to call somebody.
Your job decided "the AI stuff" is yours now. Come in behind, leave ahead of the assignment.
No code background, real ambition. Level Three is built for you — running the machines is a skill, and skills can be installed.
Pick a slot. Bring the project.
Beginner, intermediate, or the full build track — two to four hours, one-on-one, over Google Meet, on whatever you're actually trying to build. Based in Oakdale, California — but it's a video call, so "local" is anywhere with a browser.
Sessions are set up by arrangement — a quick talk about what you want to learn, then a slot that fits. Online over Google Meet is the standard; your place, the library, or your shop works too, but travel time rides the meter. The phone and the inbox are right there. And when your build is ready for the last ten percent — the finish, the polish, the sale — that's a case, not a session. We'll review it and help you sell it.
