We scope before we teach
A strategy session — where your operation is, what you run, what you want AI to do. We go home and build the workshop plan.
You know you need AI in your business. But do you know what to do with it yet?
Bring Your Own Intelligence
BY01 is an AI Operations Studio. We built a cortex — an operational brain — to run our own company, before this was a category. Now we build, teach, and research them for others.
§01 · THE WORKSHOP ARM
Where most companies start
Not “here's how to install Claude.” Not generic prompt advice. We scope your operation first — your tools, your goals, the work that eats your team's week — then run a half-day built entirely around it. Two parts, one package.
A strategy session — where your operation is, what you run, what you want AI to do. We go home and build the workshop plan.
A half-day with your team — hands-on, on your real work, your company pre-loaded. People leave able to use it, not just having seen it.

When a workshop isn't enough
It started as an experiment — how much of a company could we actually encode? Decisions, voice, memory, the way the work really gets done. The experiment never stopped. It became the thing our whole studio runs on — a build serious enough to be a venture of its own. We didn't set out to start an AI company; we were a studio that needed a brain, found nothing worth buying, and built one. That's the proof that matters: we've been operating a cortex for years, not selling a slide about one. This is the cortex we built for ourselves.
SUBSTRATE
Three sources of truth, joined at render time.
SURFACES
Two rendering layers. Operator cockpit and institutional knowledge.
SKILLS
Twenty-four agent skills running today.
LIVE CHANNEL
Slack as intake feeder and multiplayer comms.
MCP SURFACE
Seven connected workspaces. Agent-callable from any session.
AUTO-SCANNERS
Continuous input feeders. The brain reads the world without being asked.
KNOWLEDGE STORE
FTS5-searchable persistent memory across sessions.
MULTIPLAYER
Operator coordination layer. Two people, one cortex.
VENTURES ALREADY RUNNING ON IT
Brand DNA, voice rules, case-play templates. Operators write in. Agents draft from it.
Thesis, ICP, objection playbooks. The brain remembers what worked and what bombed.
WE BUILT IT FOR US. WE BUILD IT FOR YOU
We've built one — ours — so we know how. But a build for you isn't ours with your logo on it: it's a brain grown from your operation — your voice, your customers, your decisions. It might resemble ours, it might not. Either way, the system runs, the brain remembers, and it's yours, forever after.
§03 · THE R&D ARM
The layer underneath
Every workshop and every build teaches us something about operational AI — what generalises, what doesn't, what the layer underneath looks like. We study it, and we publish it: the Cortex series. The three arms aren't separate businesses — they feed each other.
Real client work is the research input. Every cortex we touch surfaces what holds and what breaks.
We harden what works into infrastructure, best practice, and the published Cortex series.
Sharper workshops, faster builds. The research is why the advisory stays ahead of generic AI training.

Thirty minutes. We figure out if there's a fit and which arm makes sense to start with. No charge, no scoping work — just a straight answer. If it's not a fit, we say so and point you somewhere useful.
EXPECT
A reply within 2 days. A call within the week.
GOOD FIT
Smaller teams. Operators, not procurement.
THE CALL IS
A fit check. Free. Not free consulting.
