Live online workshop · Next session Wed 4 June 2026 · 7pm NZT

AI for the businesses already running New Zealand.

A two-hour live workshop for owners, operators and consultants who want AI doing real work in their business by Friday. No theory parade. No generic ChatGPT demos. You leave with a thirty-day implementation plan, not a notebook full of prompts you will never open again.

“The owners getting real lift from AI right now are not the most technical. They are the most boringly disciplined about a handful of weekly habits.”

D. Rucastle, Enderon
§ 01 · The honest part

Most NZ businesses are using AI wrong.

Not because the tools are bad. The tools are extraordinary. The gap is between the demo and a Wednesday morning, between the keynote and the actual job. This workshop closes that gap.

  • I

    Generic ChatGPT, generic answers.

    Asking a stock model for advice on your business gets you advice for any business. Useful sometimes. Rarely worth its weight on a Tuesday afternoon when invoices are stuck.

  • II

    Your data lives in silos AI can't see.

    Your numbers sit in Xero, your customers in your CRM, your context in three Slack threads. Without a way to feed that into AI safely, you are guessing at outputs.

  • III

    No daily workflow, so it never sticks.

    AI tools without a routine are bookmarks. The owners getting real lift have two or three habits they run every week. The rest are still impressed at parties.

§ 02 · What you walk away with

Four things, all of them tangible.

Two hours is short. So nothing here is decorative. If a section does not move you closer to one of these four things, it gets cut.

OUTCOME / 01

A 30-day plan you wrote yourself.

Specific to your business. Not a checklist of generic ideas. Written in the second hour, while your thinking is still warm.

OUTCOME / 02

Five workflows that pay back in week one.

The exact things to start running on Monday. Inbox triage, proposal drafts, meeting prep, customer replies, and a weekly numbers review.

OUTCOME / 03

How to feed your data in safely.

What to share, what to redact, where it goes, who sees it. The line between productive and reckless, drawn clearly.

OUTCOME / 04

A room full of NZ owners doing the same thing.

After the workshop you join The Workshop, a private Slack of NZ owners running these workflows. Fortnightly host AMA, shared prompt library, and somewhere to ask the question you didn't get to on the night.

§ 03 · Self-select honestly

This is for some people. Not all of them.

Built for you if
  • You run or operate a business doing $100k to $20m in NZ revenue.
  • You have tried ChatGPT, were impressed, then quietly stopped using it.
  • You sell services, run a retail or trades operation, or do consulting.
  • You have actual business data: customers, invoices, projects, inventory.
  • You want to leave with a plan, not a list of tools to investigate later.
Skip it if
  • ×You want a deep technical course on training your own model.
  • ×You are looking for a generic ChatGPT 101 you could find on YouTube.
  • ×You are not willing to share any business context to learn how this works.
  • ×You expect AI to replace your team and run your business unattended.
  • ×You want to argue with the host about whether AI is a passing fad.
§ 04 · Two hours, accounted for

The agenda. Minute by minute.

If a section runs short, the time is given back to Q&A. The only thing this workshop will not do is run over and steal your evening.

00:0002:00
  1. 0:00

    Welcome and framing

    Why this room, why this format, and how to get the most out of two hours. Plus a quick read of who is in the room so the demos hit closer to home.

    5 min
  2. 0:05

    Why AI matters now for NZ business

    What changed in the last twelve months. Where AI gives a small NZ business an honest edge against a larger competitor, and where it absolutely does not.

    15 min
  3. 0:20

    Claude vs Claude Code vs ChatGPT

    Three tools that look similar and behave very differently. What each one is built for, what they cost, and which one belongs in which part of your week.

    15 min
  4. 0:35

    Connecting your business data safely

    Spreadsheets, customer files, invoices, project notes. How to get them into the hands of a model without putting your business at risk. Includes the redact-or-share decision tree.

    25 min
  5. 1:00

    Five daily workflows that pay back in week one

    Inbox triage, proposals, meeting prep, client replies and a Friday numbers review. Each one demoed end to end with the prompts and the guard-rails.

    25 min
  6. 1:25

    Live demo: building an AI assistant on real business data

    Claude Code, an actual NZ business case, and the full build from cold start to working assistant in twenty minutes. You watch the wiring as it happens.

    20 min
  7. 1:45

    Your 30-day implementation plan

    A guided worksheet you fill out live. By the end you have three workflows scheduled, one experiment to run, and a date in your calendar to review the lot.

    10 min
  8. 1:55

    Live Q&A

    Open mic. Bring the awkward questions, the half-formed ideas, the things you would not ask in front of your team.

Donovan Rucastle
TitleFounder, EnderonBasedAuckland · NZFieldAI for SMB
Hosting workshop AIB-001est. 2018

Hosted by someone who actually ships this stuff.

Donovan runs Enderon from Auckland, building AI-integrated systems for New Zealand businesses. Shopify stores that sell more because the product pages think for themselves. WordPress sites with custom plugins that quietly do the boring jobs. Internal tooling that runs on Claude Code from morning to dark.

This is the workshop he wishes existed two years ago, before he worked it out the slow way. Plain-spoken, opinionated, no slide about how the future is exciting.

§ 08 · Frequently asked

The questions
people actually ask.

If yours is not here, write to hello@enderon.co.nz. Replies usually land the same day.

  • Do I need any technical experience?
    +

    No. The workshop is built for owners and operators, not developers. If you can use a spreadsheet and a browser, you have everything you need. Anything technical is shown step-by-step on screen.

  • What software do I need installed before joining?
    +

    Just Zoom and a browser. A free Claude account is useful and takes two minutes to set up. Claude Code is shown as a demo so you do not need it installed to follow along, although a quick install guide is included in the follow-up email.

  • I run a services / retail / trades business. Will it apply to me?
    +

    Yes. The five workflows in the back half of the workshop are deliberately mixed across services, retail and trades so most attendees see at least one demoed against something close to their world. Bring your own examples for the Q&A.

  • How long do I have access to the recording?
    +

    Thirty days from the date the workshop runs. After that the link expires. The worksheet, prompts and follow-up email are yours to keep indefinitely.

  • What is the refund policy?
    +

    Full refund up to 48 hours before the session, no questions asked. After that the seat is yours; if you cannot attend, the recording link is sent to you and remains valid for thirty days.

  • Can I book seats for my whole team?
    +

    Yes. Group bookings of three or more get a private follow-up call with Donovan two weeks after the workshop to plan implementation. Email hello@enderon.co.nz before booking and the seats are reserved together.

  • How is this different from a YouTube tutorial?
    +

    Two things. First, it is live with open Q&A, so questions specific to your business get answered in the room. Second, the back half is structured around you walking out with a written 30-day plan, not a list of things to investigate later.

  • When is the next session, and how often does it run?
    +

    The next session is Wednesday 4 June 2026, 7pm to 9pm NZT. After that, sessions run every fortnight. If the date does not work, the one after that is two weeks later, then two weeks again. Pick the one that suits your week.

  • Will my business data be safe if I share it during Q&A?
    +

    The session covers exactly this question, in detail. Short answer: do not paste anything you would not put in an email to a contractor. The redact-or-share decision tree handed out in section four is the framework used throughout.
