THE REAL PROBLEM

AI isn't hard to find.
Useful AI is.

The problem is not access to information. It is knowing what matters, how to apply it, and how to keep moving when the tools change again next week.

You've opened ChatGPT, got one brilliant answer—and then couldn't reproduce it.
You've saved prompts, tools and videos—but you still don't have a system you trust.
Everyone tells you AI will change work. Almost nobody tells you where to start in your work.
You don't need another “50 AI tools” list. You need capability.
THE SHIFT

From random experimentation
to practical AI readiness.

Eight weeks gives you a structured place to learn, apply, test, ask and build around the use cases that matter to you.

BEFORE
  • “I don't know which AI tools matter.”
  • “I use it, but the results are inconsistent.”
  • “I've heard about agents and automation but haven't implemented anything.”
  • “I'm worried I'm falling behind.”
→
AFTER
  • “I know where AI fits—and where it doesn't.”
  • “I can structure prompts, projects and context intentionally.”
  • “I can identify useful workflows and move ideas toward real builds.”
  • “I have a repeatable way to evaluate what comes next.”
INSIDE THE LIVE COHORT

Not a stock course. A real room, real work and real review.

The Founding Cohort moved from structured AI practice into prototypes, operational ideas, capstone presentations and a final certification review.

01
WEEK 8 · CAPSTONE

Show the work.

Learners presented what they had built, explained what AI contributed, and kept open questions and unverified claims visible.

03
PRACTITIONER CONTEXT

Bring the outside world into the room.

Live guest sessions connected the curriculum to branding, workflow redesign, implementation, human oversight and responsible adoption.

FALL 2026 · CURRENT COHORT PROGRAMME ACTIVE NOW

The current cohort is already moving.

Fall 2026 onboarding brought returning and new participants into the live programme ahead of Week 1. This is current programme activity evidence—not a claim of completion, certification or learner outcomes. Returning participants may still display earlier cohort backgrounds in the documentary session capture.

HOW THE PROGRAMME WORKS

Capability builds in layers.

Each week should leave you better equipped to apply AI to something that matters in your own context.

Week 2 Prompt Repair Loop curriculum visual from the SoS AI School Prompt Repair Lab
CURRICULUM EVIDENCE · WEEK 2

Prompt quality is taught as a repeatable operating skill.

The Prompt Repair Loop moves learners through diagnosis, repair, testing, review, iteration and reuse rather than treating prompting as trial-and-error.

WEEK 3 · PROTOTYPE STUDIO

Discover → Architect → Build → Polish

01Discover→ 02Architect→ 03Build→ 04Polish

Build brief → prototype specification → functional prototype → QA and polish. The main user journey must be demonstrable, not merely pictured.

WEEK 7 · 30-DAY ROADMAP

Turn course work into a next-step plan.

DAYS 1–7Lock goal 8–14Build 15–21Test + get feedback 22–30Improve + launch

A bounded launch-readiness framework—not a guarantee of employment, funding, revenue or business success.

WEEK 1

Choose the problem worth solving

AI foundations, practical orientation and a real outcome to work toward instead of wandering between tools.

WEEK 2

Prompt Repair

Move from vague requests toward structured prompting, context, constraints and better evaluation.

WEEK 3

From idea to digital prototype

Organise a project, build useful context and start moving an idea toward something testable.

WEEK 4

Build, test, improve

Explore AI-assisted building tools and learn what it means to turn an idea into a working prototype.

WEEK 5

Website, portfolio & public presence

Connect AI to how you or your business shows up publicly—without filling the internet with generic AI content.

WEEK 6

Automation, SOPs & AI-assisted systems

Look at repeated work, workflow design, operating processes and where AI assistance makes sense.

WEEK 7

Launch readiness: career, customer & revenue pathways

Connect capability to an outside-world outcome depending on your track and goals.

WEEK 8

Capstone showcase & completion pathway

Bring the journey together through evidence of what you built, learned or changed.

WHY SOS BUILT THIS

AI changes too quickly for learning to stop at theory.

Traditional education is often designed around a fixed curriculum. AI is moving at a different speed. SoS AI School is designed to combine enduring principles with live, current application.

INSTEAD OF ONLY
A fixed syllabus

Use a guided curriculum, then connect it to current tools, practical questions and what is changing now.

INSTEAD OF ONLY
Generic exercises

Bring your business, role, project or use case into the conversation so the application has somewhere to land.

INSTEAD OF ONLY
Passive content

Learn live, ask, test, see other people apply it and return to the replays/resources when implementation begins.

The difference is the delivery model: current application, real use cases and live human guidance.

MEET THE CO-FOUNDERS & TRAINERS

Practitioners first.
Trainers because the work is worth sharing.

The programme draws from active work in AI, growth, product, systems and implementation—not a static slide deck detached from the way businesses actually operate.

WHO NEEDS SOS AI SCHOOL — AND WHY

Your use case should change the conversation.

The programme is one system. The starting problem is different depending on who you are.

BUSINESS OWNER

Turn AI into useful work—not another subscription.

Best fit when you can see repeated work, customer friction or business information that should be easier to handle.

  • Map repeated admin into workflows and SOPs.
  • Use AI to organise procurement, supplier or pricing information.
  • Explore customer-service, follow-up or voice-agent concepts safely.
WORKING PROFESSIONAL

Become the person who can use AI intentionally at work.

Not by memorising prompts—by understanding context, evaluation, projects and practical application.

  • Research and summarise with stronger verification habits.
  • Turn recurring tasks into repeatable AI-assisted processes.
  • Build a portfolio/capstone that shows applied capability.
MANAGER / TEAM LEAD

Move the conversation from “use AI” to “use it here, with these controls.”

Useful for leaders who need adoption to be practical, explainable and appropriately human-led.

  • Identify workflows worth improving before automating.
  • Think through human-in-the-loop responsibility.
  • Create clearer SOP, knowledge and team-use patterns.
ENTREPRENEUR / CREATOR

Move from “I have an idea” toward something you can show.

The programme gives you structure to research, position, prototype and improve an idea using current AI-assisted tools.

  • Set up project context before building.
  • Prototype websites, tools or AI-assisted services.
  • Use AI for public presence, content and launch readiness.
PUBLIC / COMMUNITY ORGANISATION

Build practical capability without pretending governance disappears.

Especially relevant where AI adoption needs human review, stakeholder trust and clear implementation thinking.

  • Understand workflow redesign before procuring technology.
  • Explore practical human oversight and implementation questions.
  • Build shared vocabulary around responsible AI use.
THE VALUE IS THE SYSTEM

Compare the real alternative.

The alternative is rarely “do nothing.” It is months of fragmented tutorials, disconnected tools, half-finished experiments and no one to ask when the output stops making sense.

01

Current, live application

The principles stay grounded, while examples and tools can respond to what is actually happening now.

02

Your use case in the room

You can connect the learning to a business, role, workflow, project or goal instead of only completing abstract exercises.

03

A learning environment that continues after the call

Resources, replays, prompts and project materials are organised around the experience rather than disappearing when Zoom ends.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions worth answering before somebody pays.

I'm not technical. Is this still for me?

Yes if your goal is practical AI capability. The programme is designed for people applying AI to work, business, projects and career use cases—not only for developers.

I've already used ChatGPT. Is this too basic?

Probably not if your use is still inconsistent or mostly chat-by-chat. The cohort progresses from better prompting into projects, prototypes, public presence, workflows, SOPs, systems and capstone work.

What if I miss a live session?

Cohort sessions are recorded and replays form part of the learning experience. Your Mission Control access runs for 12 months from the official cohort start date, so you can revisit the learning environment and included cohort resources after the live eight weeks.

What will I actually build?

That depends on your use case. Live participants have explored business workflows, websites, procurement information, SOPs, prototypes, public presence, employee processes and conversational AI.

Do I need paid AI tools?

Some third-party tools may offer free and paid tiers and may change over time. Any tools or accounts required for scheduled exercises will be confirmed during cohort onboarding.

Can my employer or organisation pay?

Yes. Employers, sponsors and teams can use a direct organisational enrolment route. Organisation pricing is confirmed directly with Save Our Startup and is not combined with individual offers.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. The flexible plan is 5 fortnightly payments of $299, for $1,495 total.

What is the refund or cohort-transfer policy?

A full refund may be requested within 7 calendar days of purchase if the cohort has not started. After the cohort begins, programme fees are non-refundable subject to applicable statutory rights. One transfer to the next available SoS AI Readiness cohort may be requested by the end of Week 1. If SoS cancels a cohort, you may choose a full refund or transfer. See the linked Refund & Cohort Transfer Policy for the controlling wording.

Do you guarantee income, funding or a job?

No. SoS provides education, practical resources and live guidance. Individual outcomes depend on your context, participation, decisions, tools and implementation.

What happens after the eight weeks?

Your Mission Control access continues for 12 months from the official cohort start date for the included AI Readiness learning environment and cohort resources. You keep working from the programme materials and outputs available within that access period.

When is the next cohort?

Cohort onboarding is January 16, 2027. The official cohort start and Mission Control learner unlock are January 18, 2027.
