The Brainbase course

Brainbase.
A local agent you own. Forever.

Your agent is two parts: a folder of files that holds your expertise, and the AI you choose to work with it. The files live on your computer, and you decide what goes in. They're yours to keep, with no subscription needed to keep them.

Every good intern gets onboarded.

When a bright new hire starts, you don't hand them a sticky note and walk away. You tell them who you serve, how you work and what good looks like. Most people skip that step with AI, then wonder why the results feel generic.

A Brainbase is that onboarding, written down once and ready whenever you start new work.

What goes in it

Who you are and how you work.

Your role, your audience, your standards.

How you sound.

Your voice, so drafts start closer to yours.

What you're working on.

Current projects and the decisions in motion.

What you come back to.

The notes and reference material you rely on.

It's plain text in folders you can open and edit yourself. How an assistant reads it depends on the tool, and the course walks you through the setup.

Fluency first. Then give it a brain.

A well-organized folder only helps if you know how to lead the work. So Brainbase starts with AI fluency: how to brief AI clearly, steer a bigger piece of work and judge what comes back. Then you set up your Brainbase, so the AI you work with can start from what you know.

AI fluency unlocks your ability to direct agents toward your goals.

What you'll be able to do

Brief AI with confidence.

Know what to ask for and what context to give, so the work starts closer to what you want.

Stay in the lead on bigger work.

Take on larger projects step by step, with your judgment in the loop the whole way.

Know good work when you see it.

Read what comes back with a critical eye, and steer it where it needs to go.

Bring your expertise every time.

Your Brainbase holds your context, ready for the AI you choose.

What's included

Everything you need to build your fluency and set up your own Brainbase, at your own pace.

  • A three-module video course. Two modules on AI fluency, and one that walks you through setting up your Brainbase, step by step.
  • Four easy-to-read slide decks to keep beside you as you work, including a setup walkthrough.
  • Two prompt libraries with prompts you copy and paste into your Brainbase.
  • A starter Brainbase folder, ready to make your own.
  • Lifetime access to the course and materials, including any updates I make.

The AI assistant itself is separate. You'll use your own account with the provider you choose.

Who it's for

Knowledge workers.

You're good at what you do, and you want AI to keep up with you.

Small-business owners.

You wear every hat. Put AI to work on more of them, with you in charge.

Leaders of growing teams.

You want to be fluent yourself before you ask your people to be.

Probably not for you if you want someone to build automations for you (see For businesses), or you're a developer looking to build software agents.

Honest answers

When do I get Brainbase?

"Get Brainbase" is an email signup. I'll email you what's included, how to get it and your next step.

What does it cost?

One payment, not a subscription. You'll find the details in the email.

Do I own an AI model?

No. You own your files: your context, your instructions, your notes. The AI assistants you use are separate products with their own plans and terms.

Which AI does it work with?

Brainbase is plain text files in a folder, made to bring to compatible AI assistants from major providers. The course shows you how.

Do I need to code?

You'll work with plain text files and folders, and the course walks you through every step.

Will I need a paid AI plan?

You'll need access to an AI assistant. Some features work best on a paid plan from that provider, which is separate from Brainbase.

Is my information private because it's local?

Your files are stored on your computer. When you share them with an AI assistant, that provider handles them under its own terms and settings. Check those before you add anything sensitive.

Can I put client or work information in it?

Start with non-confidential material. Check your employer's or clients' rules and your AI tool's data settings first.

Want help with your setup?

Book a 1:1 session and we'll work on it together.
