Build AI teams that actually work

Hi, I'm Guus

Your team already has the expertise. They just need a way to put it to work.

From generic AI tools to shared systems that know your business.

The BUILD and DRAFT frameworks turn your existing team knowledge into AI colleagues that understand your context, your rules and your quality standards.

I take the knowledge that's already in your team and turn it into shared AI colleagues. Prompts, workflows, quality standards. Not my system that you copy, but your system that you build together.

One system I built for my team saves over €10,000 a year. 25 minutes per executed task, 10 times a week. Another helps 80 writers stay on brand across 20,000 web pages, a job that used to rest on one person's shoulders. That's what happens when AI knows your context.

Build your team of AI assistants

Step Ahead AI workshops teach you to build custom AI team members using the BUILD framework, from a one-hour session to a multi-day programme.

Hands-on sessions where you build your first AI colleague in five steps. Not theory. Actual building. From one-hour workshops to multi-day programmes.

You walk out with something you can use the next day, not a slide deck to forget.
