Become a Builder. Bring your team.

A 6-week programme that levels up you and your team. Learn to code, automate, and run your work with AI agents. No Computer Science degree required.

This programme is for you if you're:

  • A business operator, not an engineer. You want to stop describing work and start building it.
  • Tech-savvy but not a coder. Comfortable in spreadsheets and admin consoles, ready for the next layer.
  • A leader who wants the capability in-house. Send your operations manager or your 2IC, or come along together.
  • Curious about agentic workflows. Software that takes actions on your behalf, with you in the loop.

This cohort is in session. Join now. Missed weeks are recorded.

USD $5 for 60 days, then Cloud Concierge at AUD $393 ($249 USD)/month. Google sign-in to register. This does not charge you. You will need your own Claude Code subscription.

What you'll learn

Code with AI as your pair

Plan, build, test, and ship. Claude Code and tools like it close the gap between idea and working software. No Computer Science degree required.

Automate your weekly work

Inbox triage, report generation, cross-system workflows. The repetitive tasks you do every week become scripts you run on demand.

Orchestrate AI agents

Build specialist agents for specific jobs and a coordinator that runs them. The same architecture itGenius uses internally.

None of these people are engineers

We ran Builders Academy inside itGenius first, with our own finance, service, growth and marketing teams. These are their own words, from the group chat and the sessions, as they built.

Finance
i made it! it will now automatically create a Bill in Xero and attach the payslip, enter the description per item, per account code, per contact and etc. I did it! 😁
Regina, Finance
Automated the payroll run, onboarding through to payslips
Service
This normally takes some time to audit before due to the manual process but Claude was able to do it in less than a minute.
Chad, Service
A backup checker that flags failed backups across every client domain
Growth
I just bumped 67 sales tasks in 5 mins. While I was chatting with different people on other items
Red, Growth
Chases stale deals and nudges the owner automatically
Marketing
Eeeeey it worked! It accessed my browser and did the keyword search on it's own!!!
Clarissa, Marketing
Keyword research that drives her browser unattended
Projects
My mouth dropped when it started installing applications
Dom, Projects
A live project dashboard, and Intercom to Asana cross-referencing
Service
now I don't have that hesitation… instead of waiting for weeks or waiting on someone else, I can get it done myself. I don't have to wait on anyone else.
Aisa, Service
An escalation investigator that briefs her on what happened
Marketing
this took me like maybe 10 to 20 minutes… this one just takes me for what 10 seconds
Georg, Marketing
Asana time queries, and a weekly task digest to team chat
Engineering
me and Allen spawn new BILL Staging via Claude, - Docker/Kubernetes style
GM, Engineering
A full billing test environment, built with Allen
Leadership
It's written 6500 lines of code today. Clocking off. Pick it back up tomorrow
Scott, Leadership
A CEO dashboard that grew into an executive assistant

Finance, service, growth, marketing and leadership. Most of them had never written a line of code before the first session.

“People are so happy with the realtime payslip!!”
Merry, People, on the receiving end of Regina’s build

What you'll build over 6 weeks

Weeks 1–2: Foundations

Set up your environment, learn Claude Code, ship your first automation. Recorded if you join after week 2.

Weeks 3–4: Automations & Insights

Cross-system workflows, scheduled jobs, and pulling data from your business systems with plain-English queries.

Week 5: Agents & Dashboards

Build specialist AI agents for specific jobs, a coordinator that runs them, and dashboards to see what they're doing in real time. The same multi-agent pattern itGenius uses internally.

Week 6: Ship & Share

Polish your project, deploy it, and present to the cohort. You leave with working software and a peer network.

How it runs

Live, hands-on sessions with Peter and Mark. Small cohort, real projects, and homework between sessions so you leave with working software rather than notes.

Starts
This cohort is in session. Join now. Missed weeks are recorded.

A 6-week programme. Missed weeks are recorded.

Live sessions
Fridays, 8:00-9:50am AEST

1 hr 50 min each. In the US: Thursdays 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET.

Your time each week
One session, plus homework

Hands-on work between sessions is where the learning sticks. Come with a real task you want gone.

Miss a session?
Every session is recorded

Recorded and transcribed, with an AI summary and action items, so catching up is quick. You also have the cohort group between sessions.

What you'll need

  • A laptop you can install software on (Mac or Windows).
  • Your own Claude Code subscription, paid by you.
  • A Google Cloud account. Usage during the course is minimal.
  • One real, repetitive task from your week that you want gone.
Join this cohort for AUD $8

AUD $8 ($5 USD) for 60 days, then AUD $393 ($249 USD)/month. Cancel any time from your portal.

Questions people actually ask

I'm not technical. Is this really for me?

That is who it is built for. The programme was rebuilt so every hands-on step is a plain-English instruction to an AI assistant. No terminal commands to memorise. Our finance and service teams went through it before you, and several of them had never written code.

How much time does it actually take?

One live session a week for six weeks, plus hands-on work between sessions. The homework is the part that matters, because you are automating a real task from your own week rather than a toy exercise. Live sessions are Fridays, 8:00-9:50am AEST (Thursdays 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET).

Can I join now if I missed the start?

Yes. Join mid-programme. Missed sessions are recorded and transcribed. Come with one repetitive task you want gone.

What happens after the 60 days?

Your Cloud Concierge subscription continues at $249 a month. There is no lock-in and no cancellation call. You can cancel yourself from your portal at any point before day 60 and pay nothing beyond the $5. We also cover this during the cohort so nobody is caught out.

Can I send someone from my team instead of coming myself?

Yes, and plenty will. Send your operations manager, your 2IC, or whoever owns the repetitive work. You can also come along together. The people who get the most out of it are the ones who already feel the pain of the manual task they want gone.

What do I need to pay for on top of the $5?

A Claude Code subscription, which you buy directly and keep. You will also use a Google Cloud account, though usage during the course is minimal. We are upfront about this because discovering it later would be a nasty surprise.

What if I fall behind?

Every session is recorded and transcribed, with an AI summary and the action items pulled out, so catching up does not mean rewatching two hours of video. The cohort group also runs between sessions, so you can ask questions as you go, and Peter and Mark are both in it. This is a small group by design rather than a broadcast webinar.

Do I need to already have a project in mind?

It helps enormously. Come with one repetitive task you do every week that you would happily never do again. That becomes the thing you build.

This is not for you if

  • You want someone else to build it for you. That is what Cloud Concierge is for, and we are happy to just do that.
  • You cannot make the remaining weekly sessions, even with recordings.
  • You are looking for a formal software engineering qualification.

We would rather you skip this and stay happy than join and feel it was not what you wanted.

Ready to start building?

This cohort is in session. Join now, catch up on recordings, then sit the remaining weeks live with Peter and Mark. Bring your team or come on your own.
