Two Days to Turn Your Half-Built Claude Code Projects Into Systems Your Business Runs On

Two hands-on days, eight seats, built on your own project. Robust systems architecture for founders who lead from the front: tools your team and clients can rely on, and an agent with its own phone number and email address doing real work by Friday afternoon.

Prerequisite: you've shipped at least one real thing with Claude Code, a tool, an automation, a site. This is the room you graduate into.

Sound familiar?

You're Not Short on Ideas, You're Short on Finished

Every week this stays unfixed, you pay twice: once in the hours those tools should already be saving, and again in every idea still stuck in the queue behind them.

A Graveyard of Half-Built Projects

You shipped version one in a weekend. Then it broke, the code turned to spaghetti, and you quietly stopped opening the folder. Meanwhile the job it was built to do is still being done by hand.

Code You're Afraid to Touch

No tests, no branches, no record of what changed. Every edit gambles a tool your business now leans on, so nothing ever improves.

A Token Bill That Makes No Sense

You're paying flagship-model prices for work a cheaper model does better. No budget, no strategy, and every month the invoice is a surprise you just absorb.

It All Stops When You Close the Laptop

Your agent only works while you sit and watch it. No inbox, no phone number, no memory between sessions: every day it starts from zero, and so do you.

Tools Only You Can Run

Nothing is safe to hand to your team or your clients, so every system still routes through you. The report only sends when you run it, the tool only works when you drive it, and the day you take a holiday, all of it goes quiet.

None of this is a talent problem. It's a discipline problem, and disciplines can be taught. The backlog isn't waiting on a better idea; every month it waits, the by-hand hours keep going out the door. If you've already shipped with Claude Code, two days is all that stands between your backlog and production.

Who it's for

Built for Builders Ready to Go Pro

If any of these sound like you, this room was designed around you.

You've Shipped with Claude Code

You built something real and hit the ceiling. We take you from "it works on my machine" to "it runs the business."

You Lead a Team or Clients

This is leadership leverage: permissions, testing, and security make your builds safe to hand over, so you delegate to systems, not just people.

You Own the Ideas Backlog

That list of internal tools you never get to? You leave with the first ones live and the skills to clear the rest.

You Watch the Bottom Line

Every discipline pays for itself: fewer developer quotes, a smaller token bill, and hours back every single week.

The solution

One Room, Two Days, Fifteen Disciplines

Claude Pro is the bridge from weekend prototype to production system: robust architecture taught hands-on, on your own project. This is a leadership skill now, and the founders who hold it move their organisations faster.

The capstone

Your Agent Gets a Phone Number and an Email Address

This is where it stops being a chat window. On day two we wire a real phone number and a real email address to your agent, so it can run research, send email from its own address, and manage an inbox while you do something better with your time.

Plus the Advanced Playbook

  • File and project management that scales past one repo
  • Advanced prompting and efficient context windows
  • Token efficiency and managing your AI budget like a line item
  • Orchestrating multiple AI models on a single job
  • Open-source models running locally for private, zero-token work
  • Claude managed agents in the cloud, with remote access from your phone

A note from Ryan

Founder of Ential

Claude in a Day gets you your first agent. This is what comes after. The question I hear most from people who've been through our rooms is the same: how do I take what I built and make it something my team and my clients can actually rely on?

Claude Pro is my answer, and it's not theory. It's the exact practice behind every internal tool that runs my business, including an agent with its own email address and phone number that researches, writes from its own inbox, and manages mine while I'm in rooms like this one.

Over the two days we rebuild your foundations first, then push into the advanced work, and I'm at your keyboard for all of it. By Friday afternoon the system you brought with you isn't a plan in a notebook, it's running in production.

My promise is simple: you walk out equipped to build the ideas that keep you awake at night, the ones that save your organisation real time and real money. Bring one of them with you.

What Past Attendees Say

From the rooms this one grew out of: Claude in a Day and our team intensives, each with what they walked out holding.

“I walked in sceptical and walked out with an agent doing my client intake. The whole day was hands-on, no theory, no fluff. Ryan and the team build it with you, on your business, until it works.”

Walked Out With a Client-Intake Agent

Demetri Conias

Demetri Conias

Founder of Bris Social (Social Media Marketing Agency)

“Ryan's workshop was genuinely useful. No fluff, no theory for theory's sake. He focused on the actual problems I was dealing with and, by the end of the day, had helped me automate a process that typically eats 5 to 10 hours a week.”

“Literally life changing, in one day I completed tasks within my business that previously I would have outsourced for ridiculous money. Since the course I've built an app, brand identity, rebuilt my website and got extensive reporting on my business all within 4 days.”

Owner of More Life Services (NDIS Service Provider)

“Our team recently undertook a full-day intensive with Ryan and were blown away by how much we learnt in just a day. It already feels like I'm finding ways to create the software that didn't exist for our agency. Highly recommend!”

Co-founder of Timbre Media House (Creative Agency)

“What I loved about this workshop was working in a small intimate group, where we could be engaged, try things as we learned. On the weekend after the training I spent hours in my office implementing what I'd learned, saving me HOURS of time in the future! 10/10 recommend this training and working with Ryan.”

Frequently Asked Questions

You've shipped at least one real thing with Claude Code: an internal tool, a dashboard, an automation, a site. It doesn't need to be polished, it needs to exist. If you've only ever chatted with Claude, start with Claude in a Day first and come back for Pro.
No. Most of our best attendees are business owners and operators, not engineers. We do assume you're comfortable in Claude Code, a terminal, and your own project, because this is the advanced room and we move quickly. But with only eight seats and Ryan and the team building at your keyboard, nobody sits stuck while the room runs ahead. If you meet the prerequisite, you can keep up.
Look at the reviews above: one attendee automated a process that ate 5 to 10 hours of his week in a single day with Ryan; another replaced work he'd been outsourcing 'for ridiculous money'. That's one tool. You leave Claude Pro with several systems live, plus the templates and skills to keep shipping without a developer's quote. Put your own number on an hour of your time: at A$150 an hour, the seat pays for itself in the first 15 hours it saves, and the attendee above was getting 5 to 10 hours back every week from one tool. You leave with several.
A multi-agent system running in production, an agent with its own phone number and email address, a company brain wired to your tools, and a codebase with tests, security checks, permissions, and a proper GitHub record behind it.
Day one rebuilds your foundations: architecture, model strategy (including open-source and local models), refactoring, GitHub, and testing, and it ends with your first Claude managed cloud agent launched. Day two opens with what it shipped overnight, then builds up: multi-agent workflows, security audits, permissions, and the phone-and-email capstone. Production systems need both, and neither fits in an afternoon.
That instinct is the problem the room solves: these systems only ever get your leftover hours, which is why the backlog exists. Two focused days is the trade. One past attendee automated a process eating 5 to 10 hours of his week in a single day: the systems you ship on Friday are built to hand those two days back, then keep paying. And by the afternoon of day two, your agent is watching an inbox for you.
Yes. We provision a dedicated email address and phone number for your agent on the day and wire them in: it can run research, send email from its own address, and manage an inbox. Provider costs after the event are yours (typically a few dollars a month) and we'll show you exactly what they are before you commit to anything.
Not after day two. We move your long-running work onto Claude managed agents in Anthropic's cloud, so jobs keep running after you shut the lid, and we set up secure remote access so you can check in and steer them from your phone wherever you are. For work you'd rather keep entirely in-house, we also cover open-source models running locally on your own hardware: private, and with no token bill attached.
That's the point. The access-and-permissions session is specifically about pushing systems into production for other people: your team, your clients, your operations. Think of anyone on your team who'd use something you build, and build it for them on day two.
There's no remote option, deliberately: the whole offer is Ryan and the team building at your keyboard, and that doesn't survive a webcam. The Vita Nova is in Woolloongabba, minutes from the Brisbane CBD with hotels close by, and the two days are structured so you fly home with systems already live, not a notebook of ideas. If you're pricing flights and a hotel against the seat, price them against the systems you leave running.
Everything you build lives in your own accounts: your GitHub, your Claude subscription, your infrastructure. We don't take copies of your code or data, and you choose the project you bring. If part of your business is commercially sensitive, bring a different build target on the day and apply every discipline to the sensitive system at home, with the templates you keep.
Yes, and it's one of the best uses of the room: build next to the person who'll run the system with you. Each seat is individual at A$2,250, and with only eight in the room, grab the second seat early before they're gone.
You leave with a 30-day rollout roadmap built on day two, the full Ential template, skill, and agent library to keep reusing, and ongoing access to the event resources. The systems themselves are tested, version-controlled, and documented in your own GitHub: built specifically so they don't need us standing next to them. And because everything lives in your own GitHub with a full record of every change, if something ever breaks, you, any developer, or we can see exactly what changed and roll it back. That safety net is one of the disciplines you're there to learn, and you're never locked into us to keep your own systems running.
Ryan Drake and the Ential team: the same people behind Claude in a Day and the team intensives reviewed above, with 500+ business owners trained. Every discipline on the agenda is the exact practice behind the tools running Ential itself, including the agent with its own phone number and email address that manages Ryan's inbox.
Lunch, morning tea, and afternoon tea, both days, all included in your seat. Common dietary needs covered: vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free. Tell us yours after registration and we sort it.
A laptop, the Claude Code project you've already built (or access to it), an active Claude subscription, and a free GitHub account. For the multi-agent day we recommend Anthropic's Max plan: a separate subscription billed by Anthropic, not us. Before the event we'll check your current plan, tell you whether it's enough, and confirm exactly what an upgrade costs, so there are no surprises and nothing to research yourself.
No. Claude Pro is the name of our two-day advanced training intensive. Anthropic separately sells Claude subscription plans; for the workshop we recommend their Max plan, which is billed by Anthropic, not us.
Yes. Checkout takes any company card, and a tax invoice is emailed to you the moment payment clears, ready for your accountant. If your finance team needs to pay another way, email us and we sort it before the seats run out.
There is no next one scheduled. This is the only Claude Pro date on the calendar: no other cohort, city, or price exists yet, and these eight seats are the only ones that do. Every month you wait is another month of the backlog doing its own maths, so if the August dates work, take the seat that exists.
Full refund up to 14 days before the event. 50% refund 7–14 days before. Inside 7 days, seats are non-refundable but transferable to a colleague. And the guarantee stands: if your capstone agent isn't live and running by the close of day two, say so in the room and we refund the full A$2,250 on the spot.

Eight Seats, Two Days, No More Someday
