ai accelerator
1-to-1. not a course. a shift in how you think.
Interested in AI? Then you've probably heard all of this before.
"Become a top 0.01% AI leader." "10x your productivity." "Your competitors are already ahead." "AI won't replace you, but someone using AI will." Sound familiar? It should. Every AI training company on the internet is saying the same thing, usually right before they try to sell you a £5,000 video course.
If you'd rather skip past that and jump straight to what I actually offer, I won't be offended.
Still here? Good. Because there is a real conversation worth having underneath all the noise.
AI is genuinely useful. Not in the "replace your entire workforce" way that LinkedIn posts suggest, but in the "save yourself hours of boring work every week" way. The "build tools for your business that would have cost thousands to develop" way. The "stop paying for software subscriptions when you can build something better yourself" way.
The problem isn't AI. The problem is that most people teaching it have never actually built anything with it. They learned it last month, packaged it into a course, and are now charging you thousands to repeat what they Googled yesterday.
I build with AI every day. I run my business on it. I have a team of 10 AI assistants that handle customer conversations, manage websites, write content and keep things running. That's not a sales pitch. That's a Tuesday.
competitors sell fear. i sell solutions.
The big AI training companies will charge you thousands to sit in a virtual classroom and feel terrified about the future. They'll show you slides about how AI is coming for your job. They'll make you feel small, overwhelmed and behind. Then they'll sell you a 5-month course to fix the anxiety they just created.
I don't do that.
Yes, AI is changing how businesses work. That's real. But the answer isn't panic. And it isn't memorising tools that'll be replaced next month.
The answer is learning to think differently. To look at any problem in your business and instinctively know how AI fits. That shift doesn't come from a webinar. It comes from working with someone who already thinks that way.
No fear. Just solutions. Built for you, with you, in real time.
what ai actually does
Most people think AI means chatbots and email drafts. That's about 5% of it.
AI creates visuals, designs logos, generates product photography, builds brand identities. It produces marketing content and ad campaigns. It writes copy that sounds like you, not like a robot. It builds tools and applications. It researches, analyses data, drafts proposals and handles admin. The range of what it can do now is genuinely surprising, and it's getting better every month.
You don't need to understand how it all works. You just need to know what's possible and how to use it for your specific business. That's what the 3 days are for.
why 1-to-1
A classroom of 200 people watching a webinar covers the basics. A 5-month drip-feed of modules goes at everyone else's pace. A community forum means posting a question and hoping someone answers.
1-to-1 means everything is about you. Your industry. Your problems. Your workflows. Nothing generic. Nothing theoretical. Nothing you'll never use. We work through your actual business and build things you'll use the next day.

Spread payments available. Nothing upfront. No credit checks. Monthly payment reduces once the setup cost is covered. If you're serious about this, the money shouldn't stop you.
your own ai team
By the end of 3 days, you'll have your own team of AI specialists. A marketing assistant that knows your brand voice. A sales writer that knows your products. A researcher that structures findings exactly how you want them. A content creator, a strategist, a customer service agent. Each one trained on your business, your tone, your rules. Ready to work whenever you are.
These aren't apps you need to subscribe to. They're not plugins that cost £50 a month. They're instructions you write, in plain English, that turn any AI into exactly the specialist you need. Change the instructions, change the specialist. It takes minutes.
I know this works because I run my own team of 10. They handle customer conversations, manage websites, write content, answer enquiries and keep my business running. I'll show you exactly how to build yours.
real story
I built an AI assistant for a small business. It knows their services, their pricing, how they talk to customers. A few weeks later, the owner hired a new member of staff. Instead of writing a training manual or spending days shadowing, he told the new starter: "Ask the chatbot. It knows everything."
The new employee learned the business by having conversations with an AI assistant. No training days. No outdated documents. No "ask Dave, he's been here longest." Just accurate, consistent answers, available any time. That's what these tools actually do in the real world.
who this is for
Anyone who uses AI casually but knows they're not getting the most out of it. You don't need to be technical. If you can describe what you want in plain English, you can build it. I'll show you how.
who's teaching this
I'm Laurence Lai. Over 20 years in IT leadership, from service desks to boardrooms across global organisations. Now I run my own IT services business in Greater Manchester, and I use AI every single day to do work that would otherwise need a team of people.
I'm not an influencer. I'm not an "AI coach." I don't sell prompts or PDFs or membership communities. I'm a practitioner who builds with AI and happens to be very good at showing other people how to do the same.
I run a team of 10 AI assistants and one human (me). They handle customer conversations, manage websites, answer enquiries and keep the business running. That's not a demo. That's my actual business. And I'll show you exactly how to build the same thing for yours.
still thinking about it?
That's fine. This isn't a countdown timer. The price isn't going up at midnight.
I'm not going to email you seven times this week.
