Case study

About Cabal

Cabal is a member organisation for founders — a community of people building real businesses who learn faster together. We were invited to run two hands-on Practical AI sessions with their members: a morning cohort and an afternoon cohort.

The brief

Each founder came in with a problem they actually wanted to solve. Our job wasn't to show off AI — it was to get every single person from "idea I keep meaning to build" to "working MVP I can show someone tomorrow." No theory, no fluff.

The result

By the end of each session, every attendee had shipped something. Not a mockup — a working product they could click through, demo, and continue building on. The range was huge: internal tools, customer-facing apps, and personal productivity utilities.
