Lead responder, any hour
Memory, WhatsApp, your workflowA lead emails on Friday night. Your AI reads it, drafts a reply in your tone, logs it, and asks you on WhatsApp to approve, long before Monday.
In one live session, watch a self-hosted AI assistant built on screen from start to finish. It runs on your own server for about $5 a month, remembers your business, and you can text it on WhatsApp or Telegram to read leads, draft replies, screen documents and brief you each morning.
Most businesses now pay $20 here and $50 there, every month, for AI tools that forget everything between sessions and don't talk to each other. Until recently, owning one system that does it all took a developer.
Per-seat AI subscriptions stack up whether anyone uses them or not.
Generic chatbots forget your business between sessions, so you explain it again every time.
Your tools don't trigger each other, so the "automation" still runs through you.
Two open-source tools, wired together: Hermes Agent, the brain with real memory, and n8n, the automation engine. The agent runs your n8n workflows as its tools. Three things it does:
A lead emails on Friday night. Your AI reads it, drafts a reply in your tone, logs it, and asks you on WhatsApp to approve, long before Monday.
Every morning it checks your competitors, the news and your watchlist, then drops a short briefing into Slack or WhatsApp.
Text it like a colleague: "add this to my calendar," "draft that email," "screen these resumes." It does the work inside your tools.
Each cohort is capped at 15 so the live questions stay real. Tell us which one you want and we'll send you the next date and a secure Stripe checkout link. Booking for a team? We can run a private cohort for your company.
Amir is a software engineer (BASc, University of Waterloo) with an MBA from Schulich, and has spent more than 14 years in AI systems and business strategy. He has built CRM, automation and document-management systems for clients in biotech, SaaS, fintech and industrial sectors, and competitive-research systems that save teams hundreds of hours a year. This masterclass packs that experience into a system you can own.
No. It's a watch-and-learn session. Everything is built on screen and each step is explained in plain language, with questions welcome throughout. You leave with the scripts and a guide to do it yourself.
No. The system runs on a standard cloud server that's the same for everyone. Only the way you connect from your laptop differs, and the kit covers both.
The private server runs about $5 to $12 a month. The AI model is pay-per-use, pennies per task, instead of fixed monthly seats. We show you how to keep costs under control.
You'll have watched a complete one built, and you'll have the scripts, guide and recording to recreate it. To build your own with hands-on help, take the Build Intensive.
Register anyway: every attendee gets the recording within 48 hours. Live is better, though, because the questions are where most of the value is.
If you attend and feel it wasn't worth it, tell us and we'll make it right.
