Whitehot

Hands-on AI training for individuals, entrepreneurs, and corporate teams. Australia-wide

Practical AI training, structured for immediate application.

For most businesses, AI adoption has stalled at the subscription stage. The tools are purchased. The licences are active. But the capability gap between access and application remains wide — and it widens every week as models grow more powerful and less intuitive. These programs deliver structured, hands-on training that closes that gap: for individual professionals building personal mastery, for teams embedding AI across their workflows, and for entrepreneurs turning an idea into a functioning business in two days.

Build a Business with AI

Two-day intensive workshop

What if you could compress months of business formation into two days — and walk out with something real? This is not a seminar about entrepreneurship. It is a hands-on, intensive workshop where you build an actual business from scratch using AI at every step. You will validate your idea, name your company, design your brand, register your ABN, build your website, set up payments, configure accounting, and create your first marketing campaign — all in two days, using free tiers and affordable subscriptions to the best AI-powered tools available. You arrive with an idea. You leave with a business.

AI Mastery Course

For those wanting to use advanced AI tools for work

You have had a play with ChatGPT. Maybe you have used Claude to draft a few emails or summarise a document. You know this technology is going to change how you work — you just have not had the time to figure out how. This intensive one-day course is built for busy professionals and business owners who need to move past dabbling and into real capability in a single day. Bring your own laptop — we will use the free tiers of the leading AI platforms so you can start immediately, though paid subscriptions will unlock significantly more power for those ready to invest. By the end of the day, you will know which model to use for what, how to get outputs you can actually trust, and how to build the workflows that turn AI from an experiment into the way you operate.

Team Hackathon One Day

On-site workshop for up to 10 staff

What if the most expensive AI tool in your business is the one nobody knows how to use properly? This is a single-day intensive delivered at your premises, designed to take your team from tentative adoption to genuine capability in one focused session. Morning covers foundations: selecting the right AI models, prompt engineering, and hands-on workflow integration using your team's actual tasks. Afternoon moves into building and collaboration: creating business resources, automating repetitive work, and establishing the shared practices that make adoption stick. Your team leaves with workflows they will use tomorrow — not slides they will forget by Friday.

Team Hackathon Two Days

Hands-on workshop plus executive collaboration and go-to-market

What if you could train your team and align your leadership in the same week? Day one is the full hands-on AI enablement program — foundations, workflow integration, building, and collaboration. Day two brings the room together: executives, IT, accounting, and marketing or sales leaders sit down to explore how AI changes the way the business operates, competes, and goes to market. This is not a presentation. It is a facilitated working session where departments that rarely collaborate on technology decisions build a shared AI strategy, identify quick wins across the business, and leave with a practical go-to-market roadmap that every function has contributed to.

Consulting

The session after the course is where the real work starts.

What if the most valuable hour in your AI adoption was not the one where you learned the technique — but the one where you applied it to the problem that has been sitting on your desk for three months? Training builds capability. Consulting deploys it. Whether you have completed one of our courses and need hands-on guidance applying what you learned, or you have a specific challenge that needs focused expertise, these sessions are designed for the work that happens after the classroom.

One-on-one or with your team. On a specific project, a stalled workflow, or a decision you need a second opinion on. No retainer. No minimum commitment. Just the hours you need, when you need them.
