Cohort 01 · Applications Open

Stop using Claude like a chatbot.
Start running your business on it.

A one-day live workshop that turns Claude from a search-engine-with-manners into an operating layer for your business. You leave with three working workflows on your real data — not a to-do list, not a course library, not another PDF you'll never finish.

The diagnosis

You're not using AI wrong. You're using it at 10%.

The 5–10x productivity gain from AI does not come from better prompting, better models, or more subscriptions. It comes from treating Claude as a delegated operator with persistent context — not a chatbot you start from zero with every time. Most operators never cross that line. Here's why.

01

Every session starts from zero

You re-explain your business, your rules, your conventions every time you open a new chat. You're paying tokens to onboard Claude instead of getting work done.

02

You work in series, not parallel

One tab, one task at a time. Meanwhile, three sessions could be running in parallel on different parts of your business. You're using 20% of the available leverage.

03

You're asking instead of delegating

"How do I do X" instead of "do X." Claude Code can actually execute — read files, run scripts, hit APIs, ship work. Most people have never made the shift from conversation to command.

The method

Three shifts. One operating system.

The workshop is built around three shifts that change how you work. Each one compounds with the others. Skip any one and the math stops working.

01

Claude as operator, not chatbot

Claude Code lives in your terminal and actually executes. It reads your files, runs your scripts, hits your APIs, writes code that ships. You delegate to it the same way you'd delegate to a capable employee. You don't chat with it. You give it a task and it executes.

$ cd ~/my-business
$ claude
# Claude Code is now scoped to this business.
02

Context is an asset you build

A single file — CLAUDE.md — at the root of your project teaches Claude your business rules, pricing, conventions, and standing orders. Every future session starts fully briefed. You stop paying tokens to re-explain what your business does. This is the single highest-leverage habit you will learn in the workshop.

> /init
# Claude scans your project and scaffolds CLAUDE.md
# You add business rules. Every session inherits them.
03

Parallel sessions. Three workstreams at once.

Three terminal tabs. Three Claude sessions. Three different parts of your business working simultaneously. While session one processes product data, session two drafts client communications, session three runs your weekly metrics. You become the conductor. The orchestra does the work.

This is where the 5–10x actually lives. Most people never do this because every other app they've used is single-threaded. Claude Code isn't.

What you leave with

You don't leave with notes. You leave with a working system.

Most courses end with a notebook full of ideas. This one ends with three workflows running on your real data, live, by the time you sign off from the workshop. The 1:1 call 14 days later is where we debug, refine, and level up.

  • Your CLAUDE.md architectureDrafted with Tim in the room on your real business, not copied from a template.
  • Three working slash commandsLive on your data by end of day. Quote generators, intake workflows, weekly briefs — matched to your business.
  • Parallel-session workflowConfigured and tested on your machine. You'll be running 3+ sessions simultaneously by hour four.
  • 1:1 implementation call60 minutes with Tim, 14 days post-workshop. Debug what you've built. Unblock what's stuck.
  • Template and prompt libraryFull CLAUDE.md template library, slash command patterns, and production prompts from client work.
  • Lifetime workshop recordingsEvery session recorded. Re-watch as often as you need.
  • Alumni communityPrivate network of operators running the same system. Ongoing peer support and case studies.

The day

Six hours of working sessions. Not lectures.

This is not a webinar where you watch slides. Every block is a working session on your own business, with Tim coaching live. You'll be building for most of the day.

Hour 1
Framing & install check
The mental shift. Claude Code vs. Co-Work. Live walkthrough of Tim's actual setup running his portfolio. Install verification so every attendee is ready to build.
Hour 2
Building your CLAUDE.md foundation
Every attendee runs /init on their primary project and drafts a CLAUDE.md in real time. Breakout: refine the critical "do not do" section together.
Hour 3
The four core moves
Plan-then-execute. Slash commands. Scope discipline. Parallel sessions. Practiced live with real tasks from your business until they're automatic.
Hour 4
Custom slash commands
Build at least one working command for your business. Three universal patterns covered: quote generator, ingest-and-fan-out, weekly brief. Live showcase.
Hour 5
The portfolio operating layer
Three-tier context architecture. Monday brief design. Integration points with n8n, Google Drive, Stripe, WooCommerce, your CRM. This is where it becomes an OS, not just a tool.
Hour 6
Stuck problem solve + 30-day plan
Every attendee brings their worst bottleneck. We solve as many live as time allows. You leave with a committed 30-day plan and a scheduled 1:1 follow-up.
Qualification

This is for operators who will do the work.

Applications are reviewed manually. Not everyone gets in. This is not gatekeeping — it's protecting the room. A cohort of 10 committed operators produces better results than a cohort of 50 passive attendees.

Built for Fit

  • Founders and operators running a business — or several — doing $250K+/yr
  • Agency owners scaling delivery without scaling headcount
  • Technical solopreneurs building with AI-native tools
  • Anyone already using Claude or ChatGPT weekly and feeling the ceiling
  • People who will commit 10 hours between workshop and follow-up call

Not a fit Skip

  • Complete beginners who've never opened a terminal
  • People looking for done-for-you AI setup (hire Digital Boutique AI instead)
  • Hobbyists without a business to apply this to
  • Anyone expecting passive video content they'll watch later
  • People unwilling to do homework between the workshop and the 1:1
Who's teaching

Tim de Vallée runs 20+ businesses on this system. Alone.

I'm not teaching theory. I'm teaching the exact operating model I use every day to ship more output than teams of ten. If you can't see the math yet, it's because nobody's shown you the leverage.

Tim is the founder and AI Architect of Digital Boutique AI, a member of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network, and operates a portfolio of 20+ businesses across e-commerce, real estate, luxury goods, equipment rental, and AI services. He's spent three decades building systems that scale without hiring. The Claude Operating System is the methodology distilled from that work.

Real questions

Things people actually ask.

I'm not technical. Can I still do this?
If you've never opened a terminal, this isn't the right starting point. If you can edit a WordPress site, manage a spreadsheet, or follow a basic install guide, you're fine. The pre-work ramps you up. We're not writing compiled code — we're delegating to Claude in plain English.
Why $1,997 when there are $47 courses on this?
Because those courses teach you prompts. This one builds your operating system. The 1:1 implementation call alone is worth the price — you get dedicated time with an operator running this at scale, not a recording of someone who read the docs. And you leave with three workflows running on your real data, not a notebook.
What if I can't make the live date?
Apply for the next cohort. This is live for a reason — the working sessions and peer group are most of the value. If you need flexibility, wait for a cohort that fits your calendar. We run them regularly.
Is this for solo operators or teams?
Both. Solo operators get the most immediate leverage because you're the one doing all the work. Teams benefit from having one person attend and bring the methodology back — the CLAUDE.md approach scales to teams cleanly. We've priced it per-seat to keep it simple.
What if I apply and don't get in?
You'll either be waitlisted for a future cohort or pointed to a better-fit resource — sometimes that's the free PDF, sometimes it's a Digital Boutique AI done-with-you engagement, sometimes it's a specific tool we recommend. Nobody gets dropped without a next step.
Refund policy?
Show up. Do the work. If you don't have three working workflows by the 1:1 call 14 days later, full refund. The only way this refund gets invoked is if you don't implement — in which case you've self-selected out.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Two-payment plan available on request during application. Mention it in your application and we'll send the split-pay link instead of the full-pay.
Will this be outdated in six months?
The tools will evolve. The methodology won't. Persistent context, parallel sessions, and delegating execution aren't Claude-specific — they're how you work with any capable AI. The workshop is about building the operating pattern; the specific tool version matters less than you think.
