AI workshops · Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast AI workshops that leave your business set up and running.

A full day of active learning on your own laptop, using your own work. Stay on afterwards until everything is done.

We set AI up, load it with how your business runs, then build the jobs you do every week. You go home with it working and the instructions written down. A$495 excluding GST, fifteen seats.

The business down the road is already doing this.

Somewhere in your area, a competitor quotes from the ute before they have left the driveway. The enquiry that sits in your inbox until 9pm gets answered from their phone in four minutes. Their reports go out on Friday afternoon while yours wait for the weekend.

They are not smarter. They are not better at the work. They gave AI their prices, their templates and their rules, and now it does the paperwork while they do the job.

Every month you leave that undone, the gap gets wider and harder to close. The owners who set this up in 2026 will spend 2027 winning work from the ones who did not.

What the repeat work costs you now.

Pick how much of your week goes on quotes, replies, reports and admin. Put a number on your hour. The figure that comes back is what you are paying for that work today, before anyone talks about AI.

At A$120 an hour, over 48 working weeks.

A few hours a weekA$23,040
Most of a day a weekA$46,080
Two or three days a weekA$115,200

A full day on Wednesday is A$495 excluding GST. The figure above is every year.

For the owner who does the work, then the paperwork.

Built for owners and operators in trades, professional services, retail and small teams.

  • You're starting with AI.

    You want a clear place to start, using work you already understand. No technical experience needed.

  • You're doing too much by hand.

    Quotes, replies or reports keep coming back to your desk. You want a better way to get the first draft done.

  • You've tried it, but it hasn't stuck.

    You want to build a repeatable process around your own notes, templates and rules.

What you take home.

A full day of active learning, then stay on for as long as it takes. You leave with four things, and all of them are yours to keep.

  • AI set up on your own laptop

    Installed, signed in and configured for business use on the machine you open every morning. Nothing to set up again when you get back to the office.

  • Your business loaded into it

    Your prices, templates, job notes, policies and the words you already use with customers. AI stops guessing once it can read how your business runs.

  • The jobs you repeat, built and tested

    Quoting, enquiries, reporting, marketing and admin. You run each one on your own work in the room and see what comes back before you rely on it.

  • The instructions, written down

    The five inputs behind every job you built, on paper. Swap in next week’s source material and the same instructions run again.

You leave with your AI implementation set up.

By 4pm AI is running on your laptop, loaded with your prices, templates and job notes. The jobs you named are built and tested on your own examples.

Every one comes with the written instructions behind it, so the same work runs again next week without me in the room.

What can AI help with in your business?

AI can draft quotes, replies, reports and admin documents from information you supply. You check the work before it reaches a customer.

A friendly pencil-drawn robot with a soft rounded body and warm expression welcomes you beside working papers and a yellow pencil.

AI has been useless to you because you gave it nothing to work with.

You typed a question into a blank box and it guessed. It did not know your prices. It had never seen your quote template. Nobody told it what it is not allowed to make up. So it wrote something generic and you went back to doing it yourself.

Everything changes the moment AI can read how your business runs.

Put AI to work across your business.

  1. Set it up on your laptop.

    We install the tools, sign you in and configure them for business use. You work on the machine you use every day.

  2. Connect it to your business.

    Load your documents, prices, templates and job notes. Set the rules for what AI decides and what it brings to you.

  3. Build the jobs you repeat.

    Quoting, enquiries, reporting, marketing and admin. You test each one on your own work and keep the written instructions.

See what a business AI prompt looks like.

This illustrative quoting prompt uses five inputs: Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output. Give the assistant the facts, the job and the limits before it starts drafting.

The AI workmate uses a roof sketch and source-price binder to write a draft quote.
We’re a service business quoting for a homeowner. Turn the supplied site notes into a draft quote. Use only the notes, measurements and price list provided. Itemise labour and materials. Keep supplied prices unchanged and flag missing information. Return a scope summary, itemised table, total including GST and questions for me to check.

  • Where

    Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel, The Cove room, Mooloolaba.

What A$495 buys, next to the alternatives.

Four ways to get AI into a Sunshine Coast business, and what each one costs.

  • Free videos and intro sessions

    They explain what the tools do. The setup, your prices, your templates and your rules stay on your list for a quiet weekend.

  • A qualification

    TAFE Queensland’s Diploma of Artificial Intelligence costs $5,800 and runs an average of twelve months part time. You finish it holding a credential in the field.

  • Having it built for you

    We scope and quote implementation separately. The business gets a working system without anyone on the team learning to build one.

  • This morning, A$495 excluding GST

    A full day, fifteen seats, your own laptop. You leave with AI set up, loaded with how your business runs, and the jobs you repeat working.

What I need from you.

  • Your laptop and its charger.

    The one you will use afterwards, not a spare.

  • Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro, ready to go.

    Bring either Claude or ChatGPT, on the larger tier. Both start at US$100 a month, roughly A$140, and are billed by Anthropic or OpenAI rather than by us. The entry plans run out of capacity part way through a full day of building, which is why the bigger plan is the one to bring. Set it up before the day, or message me and I will walk you through it.

  • Real examples of the work, safe to use.

    A made-up customer, a redacted job, a price list with the numbers changed. Nothing confidential leaves your business.

  • The registration questions, answered properly.

    Three taps and your details to hold the seat, then the brief afterwards. I build your session from them.

  • Doors at 8:45.

    The first thing we do is get AI running on every machine, and I would rather do yours before nine than during.

Do those and everything else is mine to do.

This workshop won’t suit you if…

The session is hands-on business training. These needs call for a different format.

  • You want to become a software developer.

    Codex builds small tools and automations for your business. We do not teach programming languages, application development, or how to train an AI model.

  • You want the whole thing built for you.

    The workshop is hands-on training, so you build the jobs on your own laptop. We also take on implementation, where the system gets built and connected for you. That is a separate engagement, so enquire and we will scope which one fits.

  • You want a presentation you can sit back and watch.

    This isn’t a lecture-only session. You’ll bring a task and spend the workshop building and testing it.

Training or implementation?

Choose training if you want your team to learn to do the work themselves. Choose implementation if you want the system built and connected for you. They are different engagements with different scope and price, and we do both, so enquire and we will scope the right one.

  • One owner or operator

    Join the public Sunshine Coast workshop and build your own setups, with hands-on help all morning.

  • A team that needs a shared process

    Choose private onsite AI training so your team can work from the same source material, instructions and review rules. Available at your workplace on the Sunshine Coast, in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast, with a fixed quote for the agreed session.

  • A business that wants it built for them

    Choose implementation instead of training. The work gets built and connected for you, scoped and quoted after a conversation about what the business needs.

Before you book.

Who is this workshop for?

Sunshine Coast business owners and operators: founders, professional-service firms, local retailers, trades and small teams. Bring the work you want AI to handle. No technical background is required.

Do I need technical experience?

No. If you can write an email, you can do the work in the room. You build on your own laptop with plain-English instructions and hands-on help.

What happens in a full day?

A full day of active learning. We set AI up on your laptop, connect it to your business information, set the rules it works to, then build the jobs your business repeats and test each one on your own work. After 1pm everyone can stay on and keep working, so you leave fully set up and ready to run.

What do I leave with?

AI set up and running on your laptop, loaded with your prices, templates and job notes. The jobs you named are built and tested on your own examples, and every one comes with the written instructions behind it, so the same work runs again next week without me.

Do I need both Claude and Codex?

No. Bring either a Claude or an OpenAI paid plan on your laptop, ready to go. One is enough to attend and build. Bring the larger tier, because a full day of continuous building uses more than an entry plan allows. Both start at US$100 a month, roughly A$140, billed by Anthropic or OpenAI rather than by us. Ask me before the day and I will walk you through setting one up.

Is this a coding course?

No. You are not learning to program. Codex builds small tools and automations for the jobs you repeat, and you describe what you want in plain English. We do not teach programming languages, application development or AI model training.

What do you actually set up on my laptop?

We install and sign in to Claude and Codex on the machine you use every day, then connect them to your own information: your prices, templates, job notes and the rules you work to. By 1pm at least one job you named is built and tested on your own example, with the instructions written down.

What should I bring?

Your laptop, its charger and real examples of the work you want AI to handle. Use safe examples. Nothing confidential is required.

Which parts of my business can we cover?

Quoting, enquiries, customer replies, reporting, marketing and admin are the common ones. Bring the jobs that take your time and we work through them in the room.

What does the A$495 ticket include?

One seat at the full-day, in-person workshop, hands-on help in a group capped at fifteen, the setups you build on your own laptop, and the written instructions you keep. The ticket is A$495 excluding GST, and GST is added at checkout.

When is the workshop?

Wednesday 7 October 2026, 9am to 4pm at Mooloolaba. Doors open at 8:45am and lunch is provided. You spend the day building on your own work, not watching slides.

Where will it take place?

The workshop takes place at Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel, in The Cove room, Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast.

Can I get a refund?

Places are non-refundable if you change your mind or can’t attend. If we cancel or move the date, you can transfer to the new date or receive a full refund.

How many people attend?

A maximum of fifteen paid attendees, so there is time for hands-on help with each person’s work.

Is this an online AI course?

No. This is a full-day, in-person AI workshop on the Sunshine Coast. You work on your own laptop and build the setups your business uses afterwards.

How is this different from free AI tutorials?

Free tutorials show you the tools. This workshop puts AI to work inside your business for a full day, with hands-on help in a group capped at 15. The ticket is A$495 excluding GST.

Can I arrange private training for my team?

Yes. Private onsite team training is available across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The same method runs at your workplace.

When does registration close?

When the fifteen seats are taken, or when the workshop starts on the morning of 7 October, whichever comes first.

Not sure this is right for you?

Send me the job you would bring and I will tell you whether the workshop suits it.

You get a straight answer from me. If a full day in a room is the wrong purchase for your business, I will say so and point you at the format that fits.

AI Workshops on the Sunshine Coast: Public Workshop or Private Team Training?

Quotes, replies and reports keep landing back on your desk, and the first draft still takes longer than the work itself. You want a way to get that draft written once and repeat it. Choose the full-day public Sunshine Coast workshop if you want to build workflows for the jobs you repeat on your own laptop, and choose private onsite training if you want your whole team working from the same instructions at your workplace. We work with business owners and teams across industries, and we bring private AI training to your workplace.

Key takeaways

  • The public workshop runs a full day in person on the Sunshine Coast at A$495 excluding GST per person, with a maximum of 15 paid attendees.
  • You bring the jobs your business repeats, and that task decides the example the training is built around.
  • You write five inputs, Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output, then test them on a safe example and check the result against your own source material.
  • Private onsite training is scoped for roughly 4–20 people and quoted after a conversation about your team's tasks, location and experience.
  • Onsite training covers Sunshine Coast suburbs and wider South East Queensland, and people from other areas can travel to the public workshop.

If you are starting with AI and want a clear place to begin, start with work you already understand. The workshop runs at Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel, in The Cove room, Mooloolaba. The date is Wednesday 7 October 2026, so register now to hear first.

Which repeated business task should you bring to the workshop?

Bring one specific piece of work: a quote from a single site visit, a reply to one customer question or a weekly update for one property. Bring the information that task needs, because your business task determines the training example. We build training around your business tasks, source material and the output you need, then help you build and test a workflow you can use again.

If the job runs through several stages, pick the drafting step. You can build the instructions for that step without connecting every system in your business. The same choice applies whatever your industry: a roofing quote, a plumbing or electrical job report, a real estate owner update or an accounting and bookkeeping client email.

How do five inputs turn that task into a workflow you can reuse?

The five inputs are Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output, and together they describe the job well enough to run it again. Context describes the business, customer and situation. Task names the job the AI assistant needs to do. Source supplies the notes, documents or approved facts for that job. Rules set the limits and identify missing information to flag. Output describes the format and information the finished draft needs to contain.

You then test the workflow on a safe example and check the result against your source material. You check the output against the information your business supplied, so you know what the draft is built from before it reaches a customer.

Can you book private AI training at your own workplace instead?

Yes. Private training takes place at the team's workplace, and we scope it around your team's tasks, experience and location. We help your team agree on the source material, instructions and review process for a repeated task, which gives everyone the same starting point when the same work is being done in different ways.

Private sessions are scoped for roughly 4–20 people, and larger teams can be split across sessions. Each person brings the laptop they will use afterwards, and tool and account requirements are confirmed during scoping. Team size, session length and travel determine the price, and a fixed quote follows a conversation about the team's tasks, location and experience. Request a team quote to start that conversation.

Which Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland areas do you cover?

Private onsite AI training is available on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Noosa, Moreton Bay, Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba and Gympie. Sunshine Coast onsite training covers Maroochydore, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Birtinya, Nambour and Coolum.

People from other areas can travel to the Sunshine Coast public workshop, so you can also come to us rather than book a session at your workplace.

What AI implementation work stands behind this training?

We build these workflows in real businesses, including our own. We helped automate Radiant Roof Repairs' internal processes using AI. We used AI to automate SEO, enquiries and admin for Glen House Homoeopathy. In our own business, Searchmaxxed, we built AI workflows for creating blog posts, doing SEO and preparing custom proposals.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the Sunshine Coast AI workshops for?

Business owners and teams. We teach them how to use AI on the work their business repeats.

Do you need technical experience to attend?

No. Your business task determines the training example, so you start from work you already know.

What do you need to bring on the day?

Bring your laptop, a charger and safe examples of your work. You build on your own laptop with hands-on help, then test the workflow on that safe example and check the result against your source material.

What kind of task should you bring?

Bring the work you want AI to handle where you already have the source material and know what the finished output needs to say. We build training around your business tasks, source material and the output you need.

What does the A$495 ticket include?

A$495 excluding GST per person covers a full day in person on the Sunshine Coast, in a group of no more than 15 paid attendees, working across your business. It includes hands-on help, the setups you build and the instructions you keep, and you keep the instructions and the example you tested during the session.

Is this an online AI course?

No. Our public Sunshine Coast workshop runs in person and gives you a full day to put AI to work across your business.

How is this different from free AI tutorials?

You leave with a workflow you built and tested, not a demonstration. We help you build and test a workflow you can use again, written as five inputs: Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output.

Can you arrange private training for your team?

Yes. Start with a conversation about your team's tasks, location and experience, and a fixed quote follows. Team size, session length and travel determine the private-training price.
