Stop reading about AI.
Ship one. Frai is a 4-week hands-on AI program in Nigeria where SME owners build and deploy a real AI tool on their own business data.

A 4-week, build-with-you cohort where you leave with a working AI system trained on your own business data, deployed, and answering customers from day one. You will also learn how to properly use everyday AIs like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up your operations.

No payment now. Waitlist seats convert first, before public.

01 The difference
Most AI courses

Sell you information.

  • × Generic use cases that aren't your business
  • × Hours of video you'll half-finish
  • × A certificate, not a working tool
  • × You're on your own to actually build
Frai

Sells you an outcome.

  • + We pick the automation from your real workflow
  • + You build live, with us, on your own data
  • + A deployed assistant customers can use
  • + You keep the system and the skill to extend it
02 What you walk out with

Pick the one your business actually needs. Build that.

Day one of week 5, it's live. Not a prototype in a notebook, but a tool with your name on it.

OUTPUT_01

RAG chatbot

Answers questions from your FAQs, policies, and inventory, accurately, with sources, in your brand voice.

Trained on your knowledge base
OUTPUT_02

Document assistant

Drop in contracts, invoices, manuals, and it reads, summarises, extracts, and drafts replies so your team stops digging.

Reads what your team can't keep up with
OUTPUT_03

Support agent

A WhatsApp or web-widget agent that handles repeat customer questions 24/7, and hands off to a human when it should.

Lives where your customers already are
+ the skill you keep for life

You'll learn to actually use ChatGPT, Claude & the rest, properly.

Most people poke at AI and get mediocre answers. You'll leave knowing how to prompt, instruct, and direct tools like ChatGPT and Claude to do real work, draft, analyse, research, and decide, so every day after the cohort runs faster, with or without the tool you built.

03 The 4-week build

A ledger, not a syllabus. Every week ends in something shipped.

Week01

Diagnose

We sit with your actual workflow and pick the one thing AI should automate first: not a textbook example, but the bottleneck costing you money.

Week02

Build the brain

Stand up RAG on your business docs, FAQs, and inventory. By Friday it answers real questions about your business, with citations.

ends witha working brain
Week03

Build the interface

Wrap it in a WhatsApp bot or web widget your customers actually touch. The part that turns a model into a product.

Week04

Deploy + ROI

Go live. Then a teardown of what it saved or earned: measured, not vibes. You leave with a tool and the numbers to defend it.

Bonus

Office hours + alumni group

Private office hours and a Frai alumni circle, so when you extend the system after the cohort, you're not stuck alone.

This is a RAG assistant on a sample Naija store. Yours will know your business this well.

05 Why ₦100k is the cheap option

Cheaper than hiring it out. And you keep the skill.

Hire a freelance dev
₦300k–500k+

A custom RAG chatbot built once, by someone else. You can't change a thing without paying them again.

No-code SaaS subscription
₦ forever

Monthly cost with no end. No ownership, no understanding, and your data lives on their terms.

FOUNDING · COHORT 01 Frai
₦100,000

You build it, you own it, and you learn to maintain and extend it yourself. Cohort 02 will be ₦150k+, so this price locks in now.

“I've spent years building real systems and teaching people to build them with their own hands. Frai is that, pointed at your business.”

The robotics wins weren't about trophies. They were about getting a machine to actually do the task under pressure, then teaching a room of students to do it themselves. That's the whole method behind Frai.

Most people who run AI courses have never shipped anything you can touch. I'd rather sit beside you for four weeks and make sure you ship, on your real data, for your real customers, than sell you another playlist of videos.

Cohort 01 is small on purpose: 30 seats so I can actually be in your build, not broadcasting at a crowd.

07 Apply for a seat

It's an application, not a checkout.

30 seats, founding price. We read every application and take the founders we can genuinely help ship. Tell us what you'd automate first, and it becomes real material in your build.

08 Straight answers

The questions you're actually asking.

Do I need to know how to code? +
No. Frai is built for business owners and operators, not engineers. You'll work in friendly tools with step-by-step guidance, and Lawal is in the build with you. By the end you'll understand your system well enough to extend it, and that's the point.
What exactly do I leave with? +
A deployed AI tool running on your own business data (a RAG chatbot, document assistant, or support agent) that your customers or team can actually use. Plus the knowledge to maintain and grow it.
Will I also learn to use ChatGPT and Claude? +
Yes. Beyond the tool you build, you'll learn to properly use everyday AI like ChatGPT and Claude: how to prompt, instruct, and direct them to draft, analyse, research, and make decisions. That skill stays with you and speeds up your work long after the cohort ends.
Why only 30 seats? +
Because this is built with you, not broadcast at you. A small cohort means real attention on your specific build during office hours. When the 30 are claimed, Cohort 01 closes and the next intake is ₦150k+.
What does ₦100k cover? +
The full 4-week live program, the build sessions, private office hours, and the alumni group. It's the founding-cohort price, locked only for Cohort 01. Hiring a developer to build the same tool typically runs ₦300k–500k+, and you wouldn't keep the skill.
Is the waitlist a payment? +
No. Joining the waitlist or applying costs nothing. Accepted applicants get a private 48-hour window to claim a seat at ₦100k before seats open to the public.
Remote or in person? +
Cohort 01 runs live and remote-friendly so founders across Nigeria can join, with Lagos-based sessions where it helps. Details go out to accepted applicants.
