An eight-Saturday course in Colombo on working with AI. You spend it on your own work rather than on worked examples.

None of this is about how good you are at your job. It is about having enough uninterrupted time to learn the tools properly and set them up against your own work, which is hard to find in the middle of a campaign.
You have been told to use AI. Nobody has been told to teach you.
You use ChatGPT most days and suspect it is a small part of what is available, without knowing what the rest is.
You have tried using it to write copy, and what comes back needs so much rewriting that it is faster to write it yourself.
Video and design go out to an agency because nobody on the team has the tools to make them, and you are the one who signs off the invoices.
Researching a prospect before a call takes the best part of an hour, and what you find does not get saved anywhere the rest of the team can use it.
Every session produces something you keep. These are the things every participant leaves with.
Text, voice, image and code. Between them, they cover most of what a marketing or sales team produces, including the parts that currently go outside.
Claude Code, Obsidian, Wispr Flow and Motion set up around your own work, plus access to a library of more than 1,000 AI tools across 40 categories.
New AI products are marketed at marketing teams constantly. You learn to test one against your own work rather than against a demo.
Including a 60-second video advert and a working web application on a public address.
Taught by someone who works in the field and uses these tools there.
A written plan for the three months after the course, reviewed by the rest of the group.
A private network connecting BuildrLabs graduates with companies, founders and professionals across the Hatch group.
Graduates keep access, maintained and updated continuously.
Explore the libraryEvery session produces something you keep. Seven Saturdays run in person at Hatch Works; Week 7 is an online build day.
Claude Code, Obsidian, Wispr Flow and Motion, set up and working by the end of the day
Four modules. One is a review of your own working week, which for most marketing and sales people shows how much time goes on reporting, reformatting and chasing.
An assistant trained on your company documents, which you can ask questions
Your brand guidelines, past campaigns, product information and pricing become material the assistant writes from, so drafts start closer to what you would have written yourself.
A 60-second video advert with script, voiceover, visuals and music
Image, video, audio and voice generation using Midjourney, Ideogram, Runway, ElevenLabs and Suno. This is the session that goes furthest beyond what a chat tool can do.
A working web application on a public address
Three modules covering automation in Zapier and Make, agents that run without supervision, and building an application. Email triage, social listening and document routing sit here, with an AI SDR agent as one of the worked examples.
A 90-day plan and a written AI usage policy for your team
What data can and cannot go into a tool, which matters when you are handling client material or an unreleased campaign, plus how GDPR, the AI Act and industry rules apply.
An assistant that answers a real question from a colleague, and an automation your team would use
A day spent on your own function. Week 6 goes deeper on the work closest to what you do, with someone who does that work using these tools.
Your assistant, automation and application combined into one thing
A full day of building with facilitators available, plus a rehearsal of your demo.
Your finished project, presented
You demonstrate what you built to the rest of the group, get feedback, and receive your certificate.
The November 2026 cohort brings marketers, sales leads, finance teams, HR heads and business owners into the same room at Hatch Works. For five Saturdays you build alongside people who do different jobs to you, so you see how finance automates month end while someone else automates a campaign.
Operations and logistics people join too, with their own Week 6 track.
If you use a laptop for work, you are qualified.

Eight Saturdays at Hatch Works, Colombo, every session, materials, tool access and your certificate. An instalment plan is available: ask us and we confirm it in writing before you pay.
Everyone teaching on this course does the work for a living. The group includes brand, digital and transformation leads from Dialog Axiata, MAS KREEDA, John Keells Group and Wavenet, along with founders and heads of AI. In Week 6 you go deeper on your own function, with someone who works in it.
More trainers join each cohort as new domain tracks open.
Learn from them. Enrol nowPrompting is one module in Week 1. The rest of the course covers things a chat window does not do: assistants trained on your own documents, video and voiceover generation, automations that keep running when you are not watching, and building a working application. Most people arrive using one tool well and leave using a set of them together.
For four kinds of work: producing content and creative, researching prospects and competitors, automating repetitive tasks like email triage and document routing, and building small internal tools. This course covers all four and you build a working example of each.
No. None of the tools on this course require you to write code. Where something does need code, Claude Code writes it while you tell it what you want.
The four you set up in Week 1 and use throughout are Claude Code, Obsidian, Wispr Flow and Motion. Alongside those you work with Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini for text, Midjourney and Ideogram for images, Runway, ElevenLabs and Suno for video and audio, and Zapier, Make and n8n for automation.
This course is eight Saturdays and 32 hours of teaching, with work between sessions. You have a working assistant by Week 2 and a finished video advert by Week 3. The course ends with a 90-day plan because putting it into regular use takes longer than learning it.
It changes what you can produce yourself. Week 3 ends with a finished advert and Week 4 covers automation and building an application. What you keep sending out after that is your decision.
Week 5 covers what should and should not go into a tool, how to work securely inside a company, and which compliance rules apply. The session ends with a written usage policy for your team.
