In support of e2i's mission to get Singapore AI-ready · Free, no upsell

A hands-on build day · the AI.TOGETHER movement

Don't just learn about AI. Leave with it working in your business.

In one focused day you'll build three things that work together — an AI brain with a Level 5 memory layer, MCP connections that plug your tools into Claude, and a live dashboard to run it all.

Free. No upsell. You build it, you keep it.

The AI.TOGETHER movement

A grassroots push to get Singapore's small businesses AI-ready — by equipping the people who run them with the skills to build, not just talk about it. In support of e2i's mission to upskill our workforce.

A different kind of room

This isn't a seminar. You won't sit and watch slides.

No motivational talk. No "future of AI" lecture. No 90-minute pitch ending in an offer. You'll open your laptop and build a working AI system for your own business — and by the time you leave, it's running.

Not theory

You build — you don't take notes.

Not a pitch

Nothing is sold. Ever.

Not passive

You leave with assets, not inspiration.

What you build

Three pieces. One working system.

You'll build all of it yourself, and walk out owning it. Here's how the pieces fit together.

01

AI Brain

Level 5 memory

A second brain that remembers your business and thinks in proven operator frameworks — not a blank chatbot you train for months.

  • · Remembers your full context
  • · Sharper the more you use it
02

MCP

Plug in your tools

Connect the tools you already use — email, sheets, CRM, calendar — straight into Claude, so your AI can do the work, not just talk about it.

  • · Your tools, wired to your AI
  • · Claude takes action, not just chats
03

Live Dashboard

See it all working

One screen to watch your AI brain and tool connections run your business in real time — built around the real bottleneck you bring.

  • · Live by the end of the day
  • · Yours to keep & extend

An honest answer

Free, with no upsell. So what's the catch?

There isn't one — and no one will sell you anything at the back of the room.

It's a movement

I run this to get Singapore's SMEs AI-ready — in support of e2i's mission to upskill our workforce. Not a sales funnel.

I measure action

Success is businesses that actually adopt AI — not tickets sold or leads collected.

The cost is effort

You pay with your full attention and your willingness to build. That's the only price.

Be honest with yourself

We keep this room small on purpose.

A quick gut-check on who belongs in it — and who doesn't.

This is for you if…

  • You're a business owner or key decision-maker who can say "yes, we're doing this."
  • You have a real problem — messy systems, manual processes, work that eats the day.
  • You're ready to adopt AI — not "explore," but put it to work.
  • You'll show up to build — laptop open, phone away, fully present.

Please don't apply if…

  • You'll be half-here — distracted, on your phone, in and out of the room.
  • You don't actually want to learn AI adoption.
  • You're not ready to take action — "someday" is your timeline.
  • You don't have a real problem — no systems or process pain to work on.
  • You're a consultant, marketing, PR or sales agency — this room is for owners, not for selling to them.

How the day builds

From empty laptop to working AI.

  1. Set up

    Get your tools ready

    Claude Pro configured, your second brain initialised, your real problem framed.

  2. Build 1

    Install the Level 5 memory layer

    Turn a blank AI into a second brain that thinks like a seasoned operator.

  3. Build 2

    Connect your tools with MCP, then build your dashboard

    Wire your real bottleneck into a live, working dashboard — guided step by step.

  4. Ship it

    Make it run, and plan Monday

    See it working, troubleshoot live, and leave with a plan to roll it out.

Come ready to build

Four things to do before you arrive.

01

Get a Claude Pro account

The build runs on Claude Pro. Sign up beforehand, or be ready to upgrade on the day.

02

Pack your laptop + charger

You'll build on your own machine, so you leave with everything installed and running.

03

Bring one real bottleneck

The messy process or manual task that costs your team the most time. We'll build around it.

04

Clear your calendar

Block the full day and set an out-of-office. Presence is what makes it work.

Your team for the day

Who you'll be building with.

A small team on the floor with you the whole day — so no one gets stuck, and you always have hands-on help.

Why I'm really doing this

I want to be completely honest with you about why this day exists.

I'm not here to sell you a course. I'm not here to brag about how much income I generate with Claude. I'm doing this for one reason only — to help our workforce genuinely embrace AI.

Singapore's SMEs don't need another guru, and they don't need another upsell. You need to put your hands on the tools and build something real for your own business. That's the entire point of this day — no pitch, no catch, no income claims. Just honest AI enablement that actually sticks.

If that's what you're looking for, I'd genuinely love to have you in the room.

Before you apply

Questions, answered.

Is it really free, with no upsell?+

Yes. Free to attend, and nothing is sold during or after the day. I run this as part of the AI.TOGETHER movement — in support of e2i's mission to drive genuine AI adoption among SMEs (with a little help from Freemansland). You leave with your assets and no sales follow-up.

Do I need to be technical?+

No. If you can use a laptop and copy-paste, you can build everything here. You'll be guided step by step — the point is that a non-technical owner walks out with working AI.

Why do I need a Claude Pro account?+

Claude Pro is the engine your second brain and dashboard run on. You'll build directly in it, so you leave with everything live on your own account. If you don't have it yet, you can upgrade on the day.

What is a "second brain" and the "Level 5 memory layer"?+

Your second brain is an AI that remembers your business and thinks in proven operator frameworks — not a blank chatbot. The Level 5 memory layer is the structured memory system that gives it that depth from day one, so it advises like someone who's run a business.

Why can't consultants or agencies attend?+

To protect the room. This is a space for owners to build on their own business without being prospected. Keeping agencies out is how we keep it free of selling — and keep every seat for someone who'll use what they build.

Good to know · Funding

Building AI? The CTC Grant can fund it — up to 70%.

You may not have to pay for your AI transformation alone. The NTUC Company Training Committee (CTC) Grant co-funds projects that upgrade your business and your workers — exactly the kind of AI adoption you'll start at this build day.

Up to 70%

co-funding — the highest of any Singapore SME grant

S$300M

government commitment, 2022–2028

Mar 2028

extended deadline — time to plan it properly

What it funds — 4 things, not just training

  • ·Equipment — hardware for the new workflow
  • ·Software — including AI tools & custom builds
  • ·Consultancy — scoping & job-redesign advisory (the consultant fee itself is eligible)
  • ·Training — in-house (S$9/hr) or external courses

What it takes (where most miss it)

Two things make CTC different from a normal training grant:

  • 1.You form a Company Training Committee (employer + worker reps).
  • 2.You commit to a real worker outcome — a wage increase, a skills allowance, or a career-development plan.

It's not a click-and-submit portal — it's partner-walked through NTUC's e2i.
