A little curiosity. A useful next step.
Hi, I’m Alfie.
Practical help, with a human on your side.
Start with your world
You don’t need to know all the tools, or arrive with a perfect plan. We’ll start with what matters to you.
Start with something you’d like to make easier. We can practise asking useful questions, talking through an idea or organising information, at your pace. A first conversation with AI. A tricky email. An idea to explore.
Let’s start with youBring a task you or your team do regularly. We’ll work through the context, tools and checks together, then look for an approach you can reuse. Research. Client briefs. Follow-up. The work behind the work.
Talk through a taskHow we can work together
New to AI or already using it every day, we start with what you know and what you’d like to try.
Come with questions, something to work on or just curiosity. We go at your pace, from your first conversation with ChatGPT to the features you have been meaning to try.
We'll agree the session focus beforehand.
Your team might have a task in mind or simply want to explore. We start with what you already know, try things together and talk through where ChatGPT helps, where it struggles and what needs checking.
We'll work out the format and timing together.
Try things between sessions, then bring back your questions. We can work through what got stuck, test new features and keep building on what is useful to you.
We'll agree the session focus beforehand.

In our sessions
A real task, a new idea or a question you've been sitting on. Here are a few things we've worked through together.
New to technology, this learner wanted to explore an education project for a cultural community. We started with tools they could try for themselves.
We used ChatGPT voice to talk through ideas and explored recording meetings with Granola, then connecting those notes to ChatGPT. From there, we looked at other plugins and browser automation with Facebook Marketplace, keeping permissions and human review part of the conversation.
We worked through property research, client briefs and follow-up, then captured the approach in a guide the agent could keep using.
We practised giving useful context and asking ChatGPT to interview us for the missing details before starting a task. The guide shows how voice or regular chat can start that conversation, with connected apps, browser tools and files in ChatGPT Work supporting the work.
It also covers saving repeatable instructions and using tasks and notifications for reminders and follow-up, so there is something practical to return to for the next property or client brief.
This team was already using Claude in their SEO work. We explored how ChatGPT compared and where it could fit into the way they worked.
We practised giving ChatGPT useful context, compared models and talked through when to use Chat, Codex or Work. We also explored plugins and how tokens are used, so the team could make more informed choices about the tools they already knew.

Connected apps and browser actions need the right permissions and a person checking important steps.
Practical experience
A training guide, an everyday automation and a live app. These are a few of the things I draw on when we work together. Open a project to explore the pictures and the work behind it.
Concept illustration · property researchI worked with a buyer's agent on using ChatGPT for property research, client briefs and follow-up. We put the approach into a guide to use after the session.
Concept illustration · organised paperworkA personal workflow I designed and implemented to streamline my own annual financial administration, from collecting and organising documents through to reconciliation, schedules and evidence preparation.

I built and run this live surf-planning app, bringing weather, marine conditions, maps and personalised surf alerts together. I use AI throughout delivery, from research and code to testing and security review.

Between sessions
I'm dabbling with ChatGPT dot and Spaces, trying them on my own tasks.
I asked my dot to create its own picture and suggest a name. A little back-and-forth later, meet Kelpie: a surfing octopus inspired by my time in the ocean.
A bit about me
I like hearing what people are trying to do, what they've already tried and where they're getting stuck. You might be learning the basics, finding a better way to work or exploring an idea you care about. That's where we start.
My background spans software engineering, enterprise integration and application security at HP, Micro Focus, Swyftx, Officeworks and Belong. I've also trained as an HP instructor. That experience helps me explain how the tools work, troubleshoot with you and talk through what information is safe to share.
I build and run apps and automations with AI, from a live surf-planning app to document preparation and private dashboards. I bring that practical delivery experience into our sessions, including testing, integrations, security checks and the things I'm still working through.
