“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.
The tools are not the problem. They are genuinely good now. The problem is what happens between the demo and Wednesday morning, when you have to do it yourself. That is what we work on.
- 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. Until AI can see all of that together, you are basically asking it to guess. And it will, confidently.
- III
No daily workflow, so it never sticks.
AI without a routine just sits there. The owners getting real lift have two or three habits they run every week. Everyone else is still talking about it.
§ 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 / 02
Five workflows that pay back in week one.
The exact things to set up on Monday. Inbox triage, proposal drafts, meeting prep, customer replies, and a weekly Xero read. Each one demoed end to end.
OUTCOME / 03
How to feed your data in safely.
What to share, what to redact, who sees what. So you stop second-guessing every time you paste something into a model.
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.

Welcome and framing
How the next two hours work. Plus a quick read of who is actually in the room, so the demos can hit closer to home for you specifically.
5 min - 0:05
Why AI matters now for NZ business
What genuinely changed in the last twelve months. Where AI gives a small NZ business an honest edge against a larger competitor, and the places it absolutely does not.
15 min - 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 - 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 - 1:00
Five daily workflows that pay back in week one
Inbox triage, proposals, meeting prep, client replies and a weekly Xero read. Each one demoed end to end with the prompts and the guard-rails.
25 min - 1:25
Live demo: building an AI assistant on real business data
Claude Code, a fictional but very real-feeling 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 - 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 - 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.

Building cohort 01est. 2018
Hosted by someone who actually ships this stuff.
Donovan runs Enderon from Auckland, building AI-integrated systems for New Zealand businesses. Shopify stores where the product pages write their own copy. WordPress sites with custom plugins that handle the boring admin nobody wants to do. Internal tools running on Claude Code all day.
This is the workshop he wishes existed two years ago, before he worked it out the slow way. Plain-spoken, opinionated, with demos run on real NZ businesses rather than hypothetical ones.

§ 06 · What is included
One ticket.
Six things in it.
- 01
Live, two-hour session
On Zoom, fully interactive, with open mic Q&A so questions actually get answered.
- 02
Recording, yours for 30 days
Watch it back, share with a co-founder or business partner. After 30 days the link expires.
- 03
Take-home worksheet
The 30-day implementation plan template you fill out during the workshop. Yours to keep.
- 04
Prompt and workflow library
The exact prompts used in the demos, formatted for copy-paste. Updated quarterly.
- 05
Follow-up email at day 14
Halfway through the 30 days. A nudge with the most asked questions, plus what other attendees in the cohort actually got running.
- 06
The Workshop community
Private Slack of NZ owners running these workflows. Fortnightly host AMA, shared prompt library, somewhere to ask the question you didn't get to on the night.
§ 07 · The first cohort
Small. Private. Then we open up.
The first cohort runs small and private, with people from the early list. The point is to make sure the workshop actually delivers what it says before opening publicly. Early-list members hear the date before anyone else, get first pick on seats, and hear about pricing before it's posted.
Early list · Open
Free to joinGet on the list.
We email you when the first cohort opens, before public announcement.
- ●First pick on seats and dates
- ●Early-bird pricing if we run one
- ●Help shape the agenda before cohort 1
- ●Zero commitment now, just an email
§ 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. This is built for owners and operators, not developers. If you can use a spreadsheet and a browser, you have everything you need. Anything that looks technical is shown step by step on screen, and we pause if anything is unclear.
- 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 will 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 does it cost?+
Pricing isn't set publicly yet. The first cohort runs small and private with people from the early list. Early-list members hear pricing before it goes public, so the answer is, you'll know soon, and you'll know first. Joining the list is free with no commitment.
- Can I get my whole team on the list?+
Yes, just add each person as a separate signup so they each get the email when the first cohort opens. Group bookings of three or more from the same business will also get a private follow-up call with Donovan after the workshop to plan team rollout. Email hello@enderon.co.nz to flag a team interest.
- How is this different from a YouTube tutorial?+
It is live, with open Q&A, so questions specific to your business get answered in the room. The back half is structured so you leave with a written 30-day plan for your own business, ready to run on Monday morning.
- When is the first cohort, and how often will it run after that?+
The first cohort runs once we have enough of the right people on the early list. Currently planning sometime in mid-to-late 2026. After that, the cadence is fortnightly cohorts. The early list hears the date before it's posted publicly, so the easiest way to find out first is to add your name above.
- Will my business data be safe if I share it during Q&A?+
Honest short answer: do not paste anything you would not put in an email to a new contractor. We cover the full framework on the night, including a one-page redact-or-share decision tree you can pin on the wall. Your call on what you share, always.
§ 09 · Help us shape the first cohort
Get on the list before anyone else.
The first cohort is small and private, with people from this list. When the date is set, the early list hears it first, gets first pick on seats, and hears about pricing before it goes public. Adding your name now is zero commitment, just an email.
