Develop your AI fluency.

UNDER THE HOOD

Built on OpenClaw.

OpenClaw is an open-source framework for building AI agents that do things, not just talk about them. Yours will run on a dedicated server - fully configured and secured - and you'll reach it from your phone via Telegram, 24/7.

It's powered by Claude Opus 4.7, Anthropic's current flagship model. It can browse the web, read and send email, work with spreadsheets and documents, search the internet, and draft on your behalf. Unlike a chatbot, it can actually complete tasks.

Its own identity

Its own dedicated server

Provisioned, configured, managed and secured specifically for your six-week programme. Your agent runs on it alone - no shared tenancy, no queuing behind other users.

Its own Google Workspace

A full account - Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive - completely separate from your company's network. Ask it to draft reports, build spreadsheets, summarise documents, or research a topic - and watch it work in real time.

Its own email address

Treat it like a colleague with an inbox. Forward it reports and briefings to read. Copy it on email threads you want to follow. Send it newsletters you'd like summarised. And it works the other way too - drafting replies, sending meeting invites, and chasing up on your behalf.

What you could try

Real things executives have actually tried.

The best way to understand what this technology can do is to use it on something you actually care about. Here’s a spread of real things executives in the programme have tried.

SEPARATE By design

Completely separate from company systems.

Your AI agent runs on a dedicated server with its own Gmail accounts. Nothing in this environment is connected to your company's network, data or systems - and that's deliberate.

This is a playground, not a production tool. It exists so you can experiment without compliance, governance or data-protection concerns getting in the way. No corporate documents. No confidential data.

Instead, you experiment with ideas - public information, personal interests, half-formed thoughts, the things you're curious about. That's where the learning happens, and it's where the technology reveals itself fastest.

On it. I'll send it from sarah@aifluencycoach.com so it stays out of your work inbox.
The six weeks

Six weeks of hands-on AI experience.

Each week has a theme, a few suggested things to try, and a conversation with Ewan - your guide and programme designer. The structure is light - 30 minutes per week - because the point is to build the habit of reaching for AI naturally, not to bolt on another commitment.

I keep going back and forth on this hire. Push back on me.
Two things you said contradict each other. Want me to mirror them back before we go further?
Week 01 · Promise

Break the mystique.

Your AI is set up and waiting before we even meet. A 90-minute onboarding call - we walk through everything together and you have your first real conversation with it, live, guided, no pressure.

Try it on
01“What's on this weekend near me?”
02“Settle an argument: is Heat actually a good film, or just a cool one?”
03“Plan me an ambitious but realistic weekend in Lisbon”
What you leave with

Change the way you lead with AI

After six weeks, these are the four things you take with you - regardless of what your organisation decides to do next.

Three shifts came up most across our six weeks. Want me to pull the exact moments from our chats so you can pick which to lead with?

Real fluency, not familiarity

Hundreds of real interactions across six weeks - working conversations, not demo sessions. You'll know what it feels like to use this technology for real.

Judgement you can trust

You'll know where AI is brilliant and where it falls apart - because you've pushed it there yourself. Every AI conversation you have from this point is different.

A shortlist, not a PowerPoint

A shortlist of grounded AI opportunities for your own work - pressure-tested against what you've learned the technology can and can't do.

A one-pager for your board

A personal AI statement, written in your own voice - a short document that becomes your reference point with the board, your team, or your L&D function.

Who it's for

For curious leaders who'd rather use AI than read about it.

C-suite or senior executive level
Influential in decisions about AI - strategy, investment, governance or people
Genuinely curious, not just dutifully attending
Comfortable being a beginner for six weeks
Designed for non-technical leaders

In Practice

This is what week one looks like.

Every participant gets a dedicated AI agent and builds with it on their own real work. These are artefacts from the current cohort - not demos, not roleplay.

Week 1 · 48h
Built a live personal dashboard from scratch
  • Debug & patch

    Spotted her personal M365 integration was returning only 9 of 50+ calendar events. Traced the API issue and patched the CLI to use calendarView.

  • GTD board

    Built a full GTD workflow into the dashboard - Projects, Next Actions, Waiting For, Meeting Prep. Drag-and-drop, one-tap from email.

  • Action

    Sent an email from her personal account within seconds of being asked - end-to-end, not prompt-and-copy.

Your GUIDE

Built by someone who deploys this in production every day.

Ewan MacLeod has spent 20+ years in banking technology leadership. He's currently an Interim CIO at a UK bank, deploying AI in production every day. He is a regular advisor working with boards and executive teams across the UK and the Gulf.

This programme exists because he kept seeing the same pattern: the most senior people in the room were making the most important AI decisions with the least direct experience. OpenClaw - and this six-week structure - is his answer to that.

Backed by New Era Digital Partners

A team that builds and ships technology inside banks across the UK and Gulf. Not consultants who advise from a distance - practitioners who've led core banking migrations, built digital platforms, and deployed AI where it actually matters.

Cohorts & COMMERCIALS

$10,000 per participant. Next cohort starts 25th May.

Six weeks with your own AI agent. One 90-minute onboarding call, six weekly 30-minute debriefs with Ewan, full Google Workspace and dedicated server, and your written AI position at the end.

Cohorts are capped at six. When a cohort fills, the next opens four weeks later. Reserving a seat starts with a short conversation.

Questions, answered

The things people ask first.

Something missing? Ask Ewan →

Yes - deliberately. The programme is built for senior leaders with no technical background. You message your agent the way you message a person. The coaching is in plain English.

So your OpenClaw agent stays mentally and physically separate from your work messages. When you're chatting to OpenClaw you're in a different app, in a different headspace - not one accidental tap away from forwarding something to a colleague.

Please don't. The environment is deliberately air-gapped from your company network, and the learning happens fastest with public information, personal interests, and half-formed thoughts. Week 5 is where we think about your work - through conversation, not through uploads.

Your OpenClaw agent is retired. You keep your AI statement, the conversation history you saved, and the fluency. You can re-enrol or extend - some clients do - but the six-week structure is designed to be complete in itself.

A ChatGPT subscription gives you a chat window. OpenClaw gives you an agent that can browse, email, draft documents, fill spreadsheets - on your behalf, over Telegram. Plus the structured coaching that turns capability into fluency. There's a comparison table above.

They complement each other. Pilots teach your organisation how to deploy. This programme teaches your executives how to judge. We often run this alongside an internal pilot - the fluent execs then make sharper decisions about where the pilot goes next.

Yes - that's the Team tier. Private cohort, your cadence, sponsor debriefs every fortnight, shared outcomes pack at the end.

Get started

Let's get started.

Tell me a bit about your role and what you're curious about. I'll walk you through how it works, answer your questions and then get your AI agent ready for you.
