The Story Two moments that made this business inevitable.

There's a concept from MJ DeMarco's book Unscripted: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship called the "F This Event", the moment where the gap between where you are and where you can't stand to be anymore becomes so painfully obvious that doing nothing is the only thing that hurts more than changing. It's not a decision you make at a desk with a notepad, it's a thing that happens to you, and if you don't act on it, you stay stuck and the misery compounds.

I've had two of these so far, and the second one is the reason this business exists.

setOpen(open === 0 ? null : 0)} >

I was 18, working a job that paid me twenty bucks an hour AUD while the adult minimum wage was twenty-six, so I was already below minimum wage as a legal adult and didn't have the standing to do anything about it. Then my cat died, and the veterinary bill at the end of her life was bigger than anything I had in my account, and I had to ask for the money, which is the moment I realized that being broke isn't the worst part of being broke, the worst part is the position it puts you in when something you actually care about needs help and you don't have the resources to be the person who handles it.

The lesson wasn't "don't adopt pets." The lesson was: I never want to be in a position again where my financial situation forces me to ask for help on something I should have been able to handle myself. That was the first F This Event, and it was the moment I started looking at online business, not because I wanted to be an entrepreneur as an aesthetic, but because I needed a path to consistent cash flow that didn't depend on someone else deciding what I was worth.

 setOpen(open === 1 ? null : 1)} >

I needed cash flow to fund the build, so I went after a contracting role through a recruiter for some defence-adjacent government work. I went in thinking this was going to be the easiest job I'd ever interviewed for, I had a year of AI experience that almost nobody walking into that room had, I'd built systems that compressed weeks of admin work into hours, and I was confident the value I could bring was obvious. And then the other candidates walked in, and without being harsh about it, a lot of them looked like the bottom of the barrel, guys who hadn't done anything meaningful with the last few years of their life, and they got hired, and I didn't.

The lesson wasn't that the recruiters were wrong, the lesson was that in certain rooms, government, defence, anything where compliance and predictability outweigh capability, the AI experience I was bringing was actually a risk factor, not an asset, because it represented change and change is the thing that gets de-prioritized when stability is what's being optimized for. That was F This Event number two, and what crystallized in that moment was: I'm not optimized for those rooms, and I shouldn't be trying to fit into them, the value I can give to people in the rooms I am optimized for is exponentially higher than the value I'd ever produce inside a contracting seat I had to mask my edge to keep.

So I stopped trying. And that's when this business became the only thing.

I went all in on AI starting May 2025, and what happened over the next twelve months wasn't linear, it was exponential. Not just my own productivity, but the value of the workflows I was building, the same agent that took me a weekend to build in month one is now doing work that would have taken a senior operator a full quarter, and the gap between where someone who's been using AI properly for a year sits and where someone who's just starting sits widens every single week the system is running. It's like a stock that just keeps rising, except the floor underneath you also keeps rising, so even a bad week still leaves you further ahead than you were a month ago.

That's when I realized two things at once: first, that AI used properly is genuinely a superpower and not in a marketing sense, in the sense that the math of compounding actually plays out in your favor for once. And second, that the type of work I was doing was so unsaturated that almost nobody was doing it correctly, and the people who were doing it correctly were charging enterprise rates for it, which left a massive gap for someone willing to install it properly at a price point that small and mid-sized operators could actually access.

Brody Zwiers

I build AI systems that get installed inside the business and walk out the door with the owner, not with me, and not as another subscription on the bank statement.

I'm 20, I'm based in Canberra, and I'm building AI systems for business owners who know AI is the leverage point but haven't been able to find someone who'll install it properly and then leave them with the keys. Every system I build runs inside the client's own environment, their Notion, their Slack, their Gmail, and the whole thing is structured so that by the time we're done, they understand it well enough to keep building on top of it themselves, without me, forever.

{/* ── The Story ─────────────────────────────────────────────── */} {/* ── What I Believe ────────────────────────────────────────── */} {/* ── How I Work ────────────────────────────────────────────── */}
How I Work Three layers. No black boxes.

Every system runs on three layers, and the reason it's structured this way is that if you try to make AI do everything itself, errors compound, ninety percent accuracy per step turns into fifty-nine percent success across five steps, which is why most "agentic" setups fall apart the moment they leave the demo.

LAYER 01, DIRECTIVE

The What

SOPs, business logic, the way you actually want things done. Lives in plain Markdown inside your Enviorment. You can read it, edit it, hand it to a new employee.

LAYER 02, ORCHESTRATION

The Decision-Making

Claude agents that route work, ask clarifying questions, and choose which tool to use for which job. This is the only layer the AI is fully in charge of, because it's the only layer where judgment matters more than precision.

LAYER 03, EXECUTION

The Doing

Deterministic Python scripts and direct API calls that handle anything code can do more reliably than language. The AI never does what code can do better.

The result is a system where AI makes smart decisions on top of reliable rails, instead of being asked to do everything from scratch every time, which is what most setups get wrong, and why most setups fail.

{/* ── The Mission ───────────────────────────────────────────── */}
The Mission Give people back their time.

The mission isn't to make money off small businesses. The mission is to give people back their time, the ten-plus hours a week they're currently losing to repeatable work, because every hour you spend doing something a system could do is an hour you're not spending on the thing only you can do. Money is the byproduct of doing that well at scale; it was never the point.

The way the model works is simple: everything I figure out gets documented and given away for free, the frameworks, the breakdowns, the day-by-day record of building this thing in public, and the only people who pay are the ones who want the system installed inside their business directly, with 1:1 or 1:many implementation access. Free content for the people who want to do it themselves; paid implementation for the people who want it built once and built right.

The Enabler

The role I'm playing is The Enabler, not the hero of someone else's story, just the catalyst who provides the spark, the system, and the roadmap, and then watches what happens. Whether someone works with me directly or just uses the free content, the outcome I'm optimizing for is the same: they change their situation, they get the hours back, they build something that's theirs. The transfer of capability from me to them is the actual deliverable. Everything else is just the mechanism.
