How the last one went
31 October, PHIVE Parramatta.
Our first free workshop. Business owners each brought one real problem from their own business and worked on it in Claude Code over three hours, with the two of us moving table to table. Different problems in one room, solved side by side.
Here’s what two of them wrote afterwards.
This is a great workshop to understand the capabilities that AI (in this case Claude Code) can do. Sure, you can read tutorials online and all that kind of stuff, but there is something special about being in a room with other people all trying to solve a different problem. You solve the problem before leaving the workshop with their guided help, and you leave with a good understanding of what you can actually do moving forward. At some point, I hope they consider a whole day type of workshop with a smaller group to help solve some bigger challenges. I would recommend attending one of these workshops when you can and just have fun with what they show you. Good guys too.
amazing experience, highly recommended
Who it’s for
It suits some businesses better than others, so we’d rather say so up front.
Probably a good fit if…
- You're the owner, or you run the place day to day.
- You have one task in mind that's costing you real hours every week.
- Your team has quietly built workarounds for something that should just work.
- You've got AI tools scattered across the business and nobody has checked what they do with your data.
- You'd rather walk away with a working solution than have one explained to you.
Probably not the right time if…
- You already have in-house IT looking after this kind of thing.
- There isn't budget yet to act on whatever we build together.
- You're after a theory session or a general conversation about AI.
- You're curious rather than ready to commit. It takes three focused hours on the day, plus two before it.
How it works
You apply, we call. We decide together if this is the right fit for you.
01
Apply
Tell us about your business and the one task eating the most time.
02
A short call
We call to check fit. This is the step that decides whether you get one of the ten seats.
03
Pre-install session
A virtual session before the day, so we already understand your systems when we start building.
04
The workshop, 3 hours
We build it together, and you walk away with a working solution.
Questions
Before you apply
Is the workshop really free?
Yes. No fee, and nothing to buy on the day. If what we build calls for an AI provider, you pay them directly at their price. We don't resell it and we don't mark it up.
Where and when will it be held?
The next date isn't set yet. The last one ran on Saturday 31 October 2026, at PHIVE, Parramatta. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first.
Who is eligible to apply?
Australian business owners, and the people who run the place day to day. We read every application and call to talk it through before confirming a seat, so applying doesn't secure one. If it isn't the right fit we'll tell you on that call rather than leave you waiting.
Do participants need coding experience?
No. You need to know your own business and be willing to sit with one problem for the session. We handle everything below the surface.
Which business tools can SpareHand AI work with?
The tools most businesses already run on: email and calendars, accounting and job management, CRMs, booking systems, WhatsApp, and the major ad platforms. Tell us what you use on the application and we'll say plainly on the call whether we can connect it.
Who owns the automation after the workshop?
You do. It runs in your own accounts, under your own logins, and there's nothing ongoing to pay us for it. Take it with you and change it however you like.
How will business data be handled?
Credentials stay in your accounts rather than ours, and nothing goes anywhere you haven't approved. Your application details go to our CRM so we can follow up on them. We don't sell your information or pass it on for anyone else's marketing. Our Privacy Policy sets out the detail.
What happens after the workshop?
You leave with the build running. Afterwards we'll ask whether we can write up the result as a case study and whether you'd refer us on, and you're free to say no to both. There's no follow-up sales pitch built into the day. If you later want more built, that's a separate conversation you start.
Waitlist
Be first to hear about the next one.
We haven’t set the next date yet. Leave your details and the problem you’d bring. One of us will reply, and you’ll hear first when the date is set.
