A letter about the AI Bootcamp · August 15–16 · Venice, CA

Hi - Max here, with Benza.

We run a two-day AI bootcamp in Venice. The next one is August 15–16, Saturday and Sunday, noon to six. It's our fourth. The first three sold out, and the people who came built real things - agents that read their inbox, chase their invoices, run their morning brief - and took them home working.

It's not a lecture. You bring the business you already run. Benza teaches the room - he's taught over 500,000 students on Udemy and built AI programs for Samsung, Apple, Pepsi, and Nike - but the point of the weekend isn't to listen to him. It's that by Sunday evening there's a working system installed in your company, and you're the one who built it.

Who it's for: you run something real - a practice, a brand, a company - and you're done watching AI happen to other people. You want it working for you, and you'd rather do it in a room of sixteen than alone with tutorials.

Who it's not for: if you want theory, or a magic button, or you don't have a business to point this at yet - keep your money. Genuinely.

It costs $2,000, all-inclusive ($1,800 if you're a Grateful Giraffes member). That covers both days, the full Agentic OS template, a year of AI School, and a private 45-minute installation with Eric before you ever arrive - so day one starts at full speed. And the guarantee is simple: show up, do the work, and if you don't have at least one working AI agent installed by the end, email gigi@grateful.gg and we'll refund you in full.

If you're on the fence, please don't buy anything. Talk to us first. Tell us what you do and what eats your week, and we'll tell you honestly whether this weekend will pay for itself. Sometimes the answer is "not yet" - we'd rather tell you that than see you in the room for the wrong reasons.

With gratitude,

Max & Benza 🦒
