Ask. Bring your question.
What would you like to do? We use the free chat to find a starting point and see whether I can help. Your question can be half-formed.
PRACTICAL AI. ONE TO ONE.
It starts with
a question.
- “How do I sort these files?”
- “Could I write a book?”
- “Could AI help with my business?”
Bring something you’d like to do. I’m Alistair. I’ll help you work out where to start and teach you how to use AI to make progress. One to one, by video, at your pace.
I explain. You do every click. You keep what you make.
Book a free 20-minute chatYou don’t need the perfect question. We can work it out together.
I’ve got about ten years of holiday photos in different folders. Can you help me work out a simple way to sort them?
Yes. Don’t sort them by hand. Nearly every photo has the date it was taken stored inside the file, so we can use that to put everything into folders by year and month. First question: are they on a Mac or a PC?
A Mac.
Good. Three steps, and you’ll do each one yourself. Ready for the first?
This is what a session looks like. You type. I explain. You keep the result.
Not sure what this actually is? That’s normal.
Claude is an assistant you write to, in ordinary words, the way you’d write to me. You ask it something, it answers, and you carry on from there. It opens in your web browser in about thirty seconds. Nothing to install.
You can try it for free before you spend anything. In our first chat I’ll open it with you and we’ll ask it something real, so you can see what it does before you decide anything.
Book a free chatYou ask. You try. You make.
We work on your computer, together by video.
Ask a question. Check the answer. Try a step.
02
Try. Work through it together.
In your session, I explain and you try. We ask follow-up questions, check what AI gives us and work through the steps. We can repeat them as often as you need.
03
Make. Keep your progress.
An organised folder, a draft or a plan for your idea. Every session ends with useful progress you keep, and a next step you understand how to take yourself.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
What people say.
He made a vast and complex subject feel simple and accessible. Today, I feel genuinely AI-fluent and confident using AI in both my career and personal life.
I went in completely overwhelmed by AI and not knowing where to start. One session changed that! He made it simple, relatable and most importantly doable. I walked away excited rather than intimidated and feeling like a whole new door had opened for me!
Alistair helped me get genuinely fluent with AI tools in a creative production environment — practical, hands-on, and focused on what actually ships. Anyone looking to bring AI into a design team properly should speak to him.

Alistair JamesonYOUR GUIDE, FROM DUBAI
AI-assisted teaching scene. All sessions are by video.
YOUR TEACHER, LIVE BY VIDEO.
Hello, I’m Alistair.
Let’s see what you can do.
For twenty years, I led creative and content teams. Now I help people make something that matters to them, one to one from Dubai.
I’ve taught family members and mentored colleagues with different levels of experience. I’ve helped people use AI to create books, work on their businesses and take the first steps towards starting something of their own.
I often tell people: it starts with a question. You don’t need special wording to begin. We work out what to ask, look at the answer and try a useful next step. I’ll explain things plainly and help you learn a way of working you can keep.
See you soon,
Alistair
You’re always in control.
Your computer. Your accounts. Your say.
- I never ask for your passwords.
- I never take control of your computer.
- You do every click yourself.
- We go at your pace, and we can stop any time.
- You learn to carry on without me.
BEFORE WE SAY HELLO
A few things
you might be wondering.
And if your question isn’t here,
you can always ask me.
What is AI, and do I need to know anything about it?
No, you don’t. It’s a program you talk to in plain English. You type a question the way you’d say it out loud, and it answers. Claude is the one I teach. You don’t need to understand how it works to use it, any more than you need to understand an engine to drive.
What if I don’t know what to ask?
That’s a fine place to start. Tell me what you’d like to do, or what’s getting in the way. We’ll work out a useful question together. You don’t need special wording or anything prepared for the free chat.
What can we work on together?
Your digital life, a creative project or an idea for your work or business. That could mean organising files and photos, starting a book, making a simple website or improving an everyday task. Bring something you want to do. We’ll agree a useful starting point on the free chat.
Can you help with a business idea or 3D printing?
Bring your idea to the free chat. We’ll discuss what you want to achieve, what I can teach and any tools or equipment you’ll need. We might start with an outline for an offer, a draft for your website or a plan for a creative project. We’ll agree the scope and cost before you book.
What computer do I need?
For the computer-sorting lessons, I recommend an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS Sonoma or later, or a recent Windows PC with virtualisation enabled. These give us a practical starting point for local work in Claude Cowork.
Claude's requirements can change. Writing and website work run in any up-to-date web browser. I'll check your machine on our free chat.
Does Claude cost extra?
Yes. You'll need your own Claude Pro subscription, currently about USD 20 a month when paid monthly. It's separate from my fees. You own and control the account. Prices can vary by country and tax. Check Claude's current prices.
What about time zones?
I’m based in Dubai, with good overlap for the UK, Ireland, France and Australia. If you’re in New Zealand, the US or elsewhere, we’ll check our diaries together before you book.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you're not happy with your taster session, you can have your money back. Just tell me.
Do you do the work for me?
No. I teach you. You do every click. That's the whole point. We use Claude and Claude Cowork as tools you learn to use yourself. You make the decisions, try the steps and keep the work.
THAT THING YOU’VE BEEN MEANING TO DO?
Bring your question.
Let’s find a start.
