The StilwaterAI Assistant Builder project
The same builder our team uses, so you can keep creating assistants for other parts of your business long after the bootcamp.
AI Leadership Bootcamp 2.0
Build your own AI assistant in one day.
A hands-on bootcamp for leaders who have tried AI but haven't yet made it part of how their business runs. Spend the morning learning what works. Spend the afternoon building an assistant around a real task in your business, and leave with it running.
The day, drawn to scale
Learn in the morning. Build all afternoon.
Our first bootcamp taught leaders about AI. This one has you building with it. Every block is hands-on, and the whole afternoon is spent on your own assistant.

Built around a real task from your business, tested in the room, and running before you leave. We build with Claude on the day, and everything you learn carries over to the AI tools your team already uses.
- Claude
- ChatGPT
- Gemini
- Copilot
The STIL prompting framework
Situation, Task, Identity, Learn. Our method for getting reliably better results from any AI tool, practiced hands-on.
A way to choose what to automate first
A practical method for ranking the tasks in your business so your first assistants go where they save the most time.
FindMeAI, your AI visibility check
A tool that shows how visible your business is to AI search and assistants, with an action plan to get found.

Built for leaders, not programmers.
If you can write an email, you can build an assistant. You bring the business knowledge; we walk you through every step.
Owners and presidents
Who want AI working inside their business, not just talked about in it.
Operations leaders
Who see hours lost every week to repeatable work and want them back.
Leadership teams
Who want to bring their people along with AI, from a shared starting point.

Questions
Before you register
Do I need technical skills?
No. If you can write an email, you can build an assistant. We walk you through every step, and two facilitators are in the room to help.
What should I bring?
A laptop and charger. We email a short setup guide a week before so you can start building from the first minute.
Which AI tool do I need?
We build with Claude on the day, and everything we teach works in ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. The setup guide tells you which account to have ready.
Isn't a full day a long time?
It would be if you sat and listened all day. Every session is hands-on, lunch is together in the boardroom, and the entire afternoon is spent building your own assistant.
Can I bring a colleague?
Yes, and teams get more out of the day. Each person needs their own seat.
Will I get a receipt for expensing?
Yes. You receive an emailed receipt showing HST as soon as you register.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund until November 12, 2026. After that, you can transfer your seat to a colleague at no charge.
