Training only counts if your team is still using it a month later.

That's the standard we train to: AI and marketing training, delivered in person, taught on the work you do.

Small rooms. Real tasks. Questions answered on the spot.

And every session ends with a plan for what your people do next.

What our clients say

I'm a developer who has dabbled with some AI here and there. The AI workshop that was held was an introductory workshop designed for users totally new to AI. What impressed me about the workshop (other than J's personable and entertaining style) was how it was able to introduce our newer users to AI effectively and still give me some insights and learnings to take away and apply. Would highly recommend.

Life-changing stuff. Quoting that took two hours takes twenty minutes. Thank you

Mark Johnston

Construction Manager, Scott Construction

J from Endevo ran a foundational AI workshop for our team. As a software company, we assumed we were already ahead of the curve — but outside expertise gave us a much clearer view of how these tools can support a range of roles. We now share a common language and understanding to build on. J's approach engaged everyone, from expert users to complete beginners, and we're confident every team member will have a practical use case within the week. Productivity gains from AI are about to take off.

Gail Murdoch

CEO, Nimbus ERP Software

We brought J in to train our team on AI. The difference from a typical course was that everything was built on our actual work. No generic demos: the team learned on our real processes and documents. Sceptical team members started using it the next morning and were using it confidently a few days later. Just as importantly, they understand the boundaries regarding client information. J' training is practical and security focused which is required for our industry and made us feel even more comfortable. If you want your team actually using AI rather than just talking at about it, get J in.

Directors, Redwood Insurance Brokers

J trained our team six months ago, and the training has held with the team picking up so many use cases and gaining efficiencies. Many were not confident enough to even start using AI, but after the training, everything changed. J has a way of making people feel safe in the workshops. His personable and entertaining style of presenting put our team at ease.
