A few weeks ago, I let an AI run my digital product business.

Not a chatbot. Not a fancy prompt. An actual AI operator running on a dedicated machine in my house, 24 hours a day.

His name is Rocky. Here's what he did this morning before I woke up:

By the time I grabbed my coffee, the boring stuff was handled. The strategic stuff was summarized. And I got to spend my morning on work that actually matters.

I'm not telling you this to brag. I've been selling digital products for over 10 years. Between two brands — over $7 million in digital product revenue. And this is the single biggest shift I've made since creating my first course.

The Problem

You already know the grind.

Student emails. Content repurposing. Scheduling. Bookkeeping. Social media. Ad monitoring. The list doesn't shrink. It grows.

You've probably tried ChatGPT. Maybe some other AI tools here and there. And they're fine for one-off tasks. But they don't do anything for you. You still have to open the app, type the prompt, copy-paste the result, and figure out what to do with it.

That's not an operator. That's a search engine with personality.

The Four Levels of AI

Most people are stuck at level one.

Two months ago, I was too. I was in my ChatGPT bubble — scared of what AI could really do and overwhelmed by all the options. I didn't know where to go next. So I stayed where I was.

Here's what I've learned since then.

1

Chat

Open ChatGPT, ask a question, copy the answer. Useful, but you're doing all the work. Every single time.

2

Automation

Zapier, Make — connect tools, things trigger automatically. But it's rigid. The second anything changes, it breaks.

3

Agents

AI that takes actions. But you still babysit it. It's like an employee who can't start their day without you standing over their shoulder.

This is what we build
4

AI Operator

Lives on your machine. Runs 24/7. Knows your business. Does work every day without you prompting it. It just... works.

When I found level four, I knew levels two and three weren't going to cut it. Automations were too fragile. Agents were too needy. I needed something that could run independently. And once I set that up, everything changed.

The Result

Here's what a typical morning looks like now.

I wake up. There's a briefing on my phone telling me exactly what to focus on today. Student emails that came in overnight? Already drafted in my voice — I just review and approve. My revenue dashboard is updated. If an ad campaign is underperforming, Rocky's already flagged it. Things that used to sit on my to-do list for weeks? Done.

I sit down with my coffee and I actually get to work on the stuff that moves my business forward. Not the stuff that just keeps it running.

And at the end of the day, I feel like I actually accomplished something. Not because I worked more hours, but because the hours I worked were spent on things that matter.

What Your Operator Does

An AI that actually does the work.

It runs on a Mac Mini sitting in your closet. No vendor lock-in. You own it.

Your Concerns

I know what you're thinking.
Because I asked.

"Security concerns would be number 1."

Yep. Giving an AI access to your accounts is scary. I get it. That's exactly why security isn't just something we configure once and move on. It's a core part of what I teach. We go deep on permissions, approval flows, and how to make your setup as secure as possible. Your operator can't post, send, or delete anything without your explicit permission. You set the boundaries. It operates within them.

"My fear is that it's going to actually take up MORE of my time."

This is the most common concern I hear. And it's a fair one, if you set it up wrong. That's the whole reason this bootcamp exists. I've already figured out what works and what doesn't through weeks of trial and error. You skip all of that.

"When I watch super AI people talk about it, my brain is like... NOPE."

Same. Most AI content is made by developers, for developers. I understand technology — I was an engineer before I got into digital products — but I'm not building AI tools. I'm using them to run a real business. And I can explain it in a way that makes sense to someone who sells courses, not someone who writes code. If you can send a text message, you can run an AI operator.

Why Me

A digital product creator. Not a developer.

I've been running digital product businesses for over 10 years. Piano In 21 Days has over 10,000 students. I run The Online Course Guy, where I've coached hundreds of course creators. Between the two, over $7 million in digital product revenue.

I'm not an AI researcher. I'm not building these tools. I'm a digital product creator who understands the technology well enough to make it work for a real business — and I'm pretty obsessed with helping people like us do the same thing.

That matters. The person teaching you this should understand YOUR business. I know what it's like to end the day feeling like you worked the whole time but didn't actually move the needle. I know what it's like to have a to-do list that just grows. I built my operator to fix that — and it did.

"I want to learn from someone who will tell me how to set it up for a digital product business, not just any business."

That's what this is.

And here's one more thing. Most people who try setting up an AI operator get frustrated and quit within the first couple weeks. The setup is one thing — keeping it running and actually useful is another.

I figured out a specific management workflow that's the reason Rocky is still running over 6 weeks later. It's honestly the single biggest reason this works long-term instead of becoming another tool you tried and abandoned. You get that workflow inside the bootcamp.

What You Get

6 weeks. 2 calls a week.
5 people.

Teaching Calls

New concepts, live demos, walkthroughs. Learn the framework, see it in action.

Hot Seat Calls

Dedicated time on YOUR setup, YOUR issues, YOUR questions. Real face time every week.

Starts March 17. Tuesdays & Thursdays, exact times TBD with the group.

All calls recorded. Lifetime access to every recording.

01

Setup & Foundation

Your operator goes live. We install OpenClaw, connect it to your messaging platform, and configure your AI model. Then we go deep on security — permissions, approval flows, and making your setup as locked-down as possible. This isn't a checkbox we rush through. It's a real topic we spend meaningful time on, because getting security right is what lets you trust the system. Your first automation is already running before the next call.

02

Your Business Audit

This is where my coaching background matters. We go through your business together. Your daily tasks, your recurring workflows, your decision patterns. We map all of it into your operator's identity. By the end you'll know exactly which tasks to automate for the biggest time savings.

03

Automations & Dashboards

We build out your automated workflows. Morning briefs that tell you exactly what to focus on. Student support handled in your voice. Content pipelines. Revenue dashboards. Whatever matters most to your business. We use pre-built templates designed for digital product creators and customize them for you. The stuff you've been doing manually, handled for you going forward — plus visibility into revenue opportunities and problems you're currently missing.

Mission Control Dashboard — real-time business metrics and AI operator status
04

Optimization & Independence

We stress-test everything, refine your automations based on real usage, and make sure you're confident managing your operator on your own. By the end of the bootcamp, this thing runs without you thinking about it.

Included With Your Spot

Everything you need to succeed.

Bonus 1

"Never Fall Behind" 1-on-1 Support

The setup is the most technical part. Some people breeze through it. Some people struggle. And that's totally fine. If at any point during the six weeks you feel like you're falling behind the group, I'll give you personalized one-on-one attention to get caught up. You won't be left behind.

Bonus 2

Personal Business Audit (1-on-1)

We do the business audit as a group on calls. But this bonus is different. This is a dedicated one-on-one session where I go deep on YOUR specific business. Your revenue model, your customer journey, your team structure, your daily decision points.

I use 10 years of coaching digital product creators to find the highest-impact opportunities — and then we map those into specific automations and AI workflows for your operator. The group calls teach you the framework. This session turns it into something built for your business.

Bonus 3

Direct Access to Jacques on Voxer

For the full six weeks, you get a direct line to me on Voxer. Stuck on something and don't want to wait for the next call? Send me a voice message and I'll get back to you. This is separate from the community — it's a private, direct line.

Bonus 4

Digital Product Creator Automation Pack

Pre-built automation templates designed for people who sell courses, memberships, and digital products. Morning briefs. Customer support workflows. Content calendar management. Revenue dashboards. Student engagement tracking.

These are the same types of automations I run in my own business, packaged so you can customize them instead of building from scratch.

Bonus 5

Private Community + Pre-Bootcamp Setup Guide

Access to a private community for async support between calls. Post a question, get an answer — you don't have to wait until the next call to get unstuck.

Plus, as soon as you're in, you get a Pre-Bootcamp Setup Guide so you're ready to go on day one. Hardware recommendations, AI subscription setup, and what to expect in week one.

The Guarantee

If it's not working, I don't stop.

If after 6 weeks your AI operator isn't fully set up, running at least 5 automated workflows, and delivering you a daily morning briefing without you manually doing the work it's supposed to handle — I'll continue coaching you one-on-one, every week, until it is.

You don't pay extra. You don't get dropped. I keep working with you until your operator is doing what it's supposed to do.

I can make this guarantee because I've done this myself. I know what "done" looks like. And with only 5 people in the group, I have the time to make sure every single person gets there.

Investment

What this is actually worth.

Here's a question worth asking: what's the cost of continuing to do everything manually?

If your time is worth $100/hour and you're spending even 5 hours a week on tasks your operator could handle, that's $26,000 a year. And that's just the math. The real value is getting those hours back for your family, your health, the parts of your business you actually enjoy.

The bootcamp is $5,800 once, plus $200/month for the AI subscription after that. And what you build keeps running indefinitely — it doesn't quit, it doesn't need a raise, and it works while you sleep.

Future cohorts: $9,800
$5,800
Invitation-only price — Cohort 1
or 2 payments of $3,100

I'm hand-selecting this first group from people I already know and trust — people whose businesses I'm familiar with, who I know will show up and do the work. That's worth $4,000 off to me. This price is because of who you are, and it won't be available publicly.

Why only five?

This isn't a course with pre-recorded videos. I'm personally reviewing your business, building your automation templates, and backing your results with my own time.

I can't do that for more than 5 people while running my own businesses. The cap isn't a marketing tactic. It's a bandwidth thing.

FAQ

Common questions.

No. If you can send text messages and follow step-by-step instructions, you can do this. The setup is the most technical part, and that's what the "Never Fall Behind" support is for.

A few options: a new Mac Mini M-series (~$500), an existing Mac you already have that can stay on 24/7, or a VPS (virtual private server) if you understand the tradeoffs and limitations. It doesn't have to be a brand new dedicated machine. You also need a solid internet connection. I'll walk you through the specifics in week one.

Your operator runs on YOUR machine, in YOUR house. Your data doesn't leave your network unless you tell it to. We spend dedicated time on security configuration, permissions, and approval flows. Your operator has to ask before it does anything external.

All calls are recorded and you get lifetime access to every recording. Plus, we've got async communication in the private community throughout the week, and you have direct Voxer access to Jacques. You don't have to wait until the next call to get help.

The bootcamp will take real time and effort during the 6 weeks. You're building something. But what you're building will save you hours every week after that, indefinitely. Morning briefs, automated workflows, dashboards — all running without you touching them.

Full transparency. The bootcamp itself is $5,800 (or 2 payments of $3,100). You'll need a computer that stays on 24/7 — a new Mac Mini M-series runs about $500, but you can use a Mac you already have or a VPS. And you'll need one AI subscription: Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro, which is $200/month. That's it. After the bootcamp, the only ongoing cost is $200/month. That's less than a part-time VA for something that works 24/7.

You get a Pre-Bootcamp Setup Guide with everything you need to be ready on day one. Hardware recommendations, AI subscription setup, and what to expect in week one. You'll also get access to the private community right away so you can meet the other members before we start.

Your operator keeps running. You keep everything we built. You get lifetime access to all call recordings. You'll know how to manage it, update it, and add new automations on your own. If you want continued coaching after that, we can talk about it. But the goal is independence by week 6.

You'll leave the bootcamp knowing how to troubleshoot common issues on your own. That's a core part of what we cover in the Optimization & Independence section. We don't just build it and hand you the keys — we make sure you understand how the engine works.

I don't do a traditional money-back guarantee. I do something better. A handholding guarantee. If your operator isn't working by week 6, I keep coaching you until it is. My incentive is the same as yours. I want this to work for you.

You've read this far.
That tells me you're serious.

There are free YouTube videos about AI. There are $20 Udemy courses on setting up OpenClaw. You could figure this out on your own if you have the time and patience for trial and error.

But if you want to skip the experimenting, learn from someone who's already running this in a real digital product business, and walk away in 6 weeks with an AI operator that's actually doing work for you — this is that.
