AI OPERATOR · APRIL 25 · 2026
You walk in
not knowing
what AI can do.
You walk out
with a teammate.
You walk in not knowing what AI can do. You walk out with a teammate.
02 · WHAT YOU WALK OUT WITH
THE promise.
Four deliverables. All of them installed in your life before you leave the room. No theory. No watching.
DELIV · 02
One personal workspace
A Project set up around your highest-leverage problem. Custom instructions written for your domain. Saved to your account. Yours forever.
DELIV · 03
One workflow, live
Built end-to-end. Runs on your real data. By 2pm it has completed its first successful run in the room with you driving it.
DELIV · 04
A new mental model
AI is not a tool you reach for. It is a teammate you delegate to. The operators who win the next 24 months think this way. Installed.
03 · QUALIFICATION
WHO GETS A seat.
8 seats. By application. We read every one. Here's who fits and who doesn't.
FIT
BUILT FOR.
- + 01 Operators, owners, professionals who know AI is the inflection point
- + 02 Anyone tired of watching from the sidelines
- + 03 People with one real problem they want solved by 3pm Saturday
- + 04 No prior AI experience required. No coding required.
PASS
NOT BUILT FOR.
- × 01 People looking for theory or a Ted Talk
- × 02 People who want to be entertained
- × 03 People who won't open their laptop
- × 04 Anyone who thinks AI is a fad
04 · RUN OF SHOW
THREE HOURS.
Engineered.
Not a talk. Not a panel. A staged build. Every minute accounted for. This is the cadence paid operators pay five figures to sit inside.

05 · WHO'S LEADING
Installed by an operator. Not a coach.
14 years operating. Teams of 40+. Multi-state P&Ls. I currently run production AI for large manufacturers and brick-and-mortar businesses. The Forge has installed AI Operating Systems in multiple operator businesses since October 2025. No churn. No refunds.
This workshop is the opening move of the Operator Cohort. Eight seats. Free. In exchange for honest proof.

06 · THE FAIR TRADE
WHY IT'S free.
Both sides walk out with more than they walked in with. You get a real system, installed. I get honest proof from operators who are in the weeds. Here's exactly what each side gives so nothing about the trade is hidden.
TRADE · 01
YOU GET.
- 01 3 hrs hands-on build
- 02 Your personal AI workspace
- 03 A workflow running on real data
- 04 Direct access to Harsh
TRADE · 02
YOU GIVE.
- 01 A 2-min video testimonial
- 02 Consent to be on camera
- 03 Feedback on v1 of this workshop

07 · WHAT TO BRING
FOUR items.
That's the whole checklist. We handle the rest.
Your laptop
Mac or Windows. Any year. Charger too. Outlets are limited.
Claude Pro or Max
Active subscription. Signed in on your laptop's browser.
One real problem
The one you're tired of doing manually. One sentence.
An open mind
No skepticism for skepticism's sake. You can leave at 3.
08 · FAQ
QUESTIONS answered.
No. Everything we build lives in the Claude browser interface. No terminal. No installs. No API keys.
No. Operators, clinicians, consultants, scientists, creators. If you have one real problem you want solved by 3pm Saturday, this is for you.
Bring that version of yourself. Half the seats are for people who have never opened it. The reframe works better from zero.
You commit to being in the room three hours and recording a 2-minute testimonial at the end. The Forge uses the footage in ads. That's the trade for a free seat.
Yes. Audio and video. We use clips in ads and case studies. You consent when you apply. You also get your own recording for your files.
Paid garage parking is across the street at Kendall. Plan on $20 or so for the three hours. CIC Cambridge does not validate, so factor that into your arrival.
FINAL INTAKE · , SEATS
BEGIN YOUR application.
Ten questions. Four minutes. A voice call with our AI concierge within five minutes of submit. A Cal.com link to lock in your seat.
