The craft of working with AI.

A founder-led AI lab for people building something real.

Start with Hot or Not, buy the Hot Sheet, book a Working Session, or rebuild your front door with the AI Rebrand Sprint. Everything has a price on it and a job it does.

New · Free Live Lab is now a weekly podcast — solo episodes drop Fridays, first live session back Sep 18, cams on.

What we do

Build. Show. Teach.

Build

We ship AI-powered products that solve specific problems for specific people. The point isn't to talk about the future — it's to make something useful now.

Show

The work happens in public. The Lab publishes real prompts, real drafts, real outputs, and real mistakes — twice a week, so you can see how the practice actually works.

Teach

Everything we learn on the workbench becomes consulting, training, and public teaching. Not a course factory — a real practice you can learn from.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE New Lead → Qualified Step 1 — Confirm contact + source field Step 2 — Tag campaign, assign owner Step 3 — Run the qualification checklist Step 4 — Hand off to next stage

Illustrative example, modeled on real training systems built for an anonymous healthcare-industry client — not an actual client document.

One door in. Two ways to keep going.

Start free. Go as deep as the problem needs.

Start at the free verdict. Stop wherever it stops being useful. We don't gate the truth.

Hot or Not reads your LinkedIn headline and About section and returns a score, a verdict, and five prioritized moves — from a buyer's eyes, a hiring manager's eyes, and the ten-second interrupt test.

7/10
Warming Up · 6-7
Sample · 3 of 5 moves
  1. Headline leads with title, not outcome — rewrite around the result you produce.
  2. About paragraph opens with backstory — cut to the receipt in line one.
  3. Featured section is empty — this is free real estate you're not using.

Hillbilly Einstein Performance needed more than a website — research, brand, a full rebuild, and an infrastructure migration, done around a real business constraint instead of a template.

Hillbilly Einstein Performance, before and after: legacy web presence versus the new brand system.
"Lisa's known me since we were kids, so she already knew I wasn't going to want to mess with some fancy dashboard for six hours a day. She built me something I don't have to think about — customers call, I do what I'm good at. That's the whole point."
Brian Tredway · Owner, Hillbilly Einstein Performance
