An AI community for Australians who actually build.
Every Wednesday, noon AEST — a room of Australian solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and microbusinesses shipping real agents, workflows, tools and AI-native businesses, together. Information isn't the problem anymore. Applying it is.
Australian-run · Australian hours · Australian-English spelling
A community, not a course.
Hosted on Skool. Small on purpose. Australian by design.
One live hour for chatting, connecting, sharing, exploring, troubleshooting, building — whatever the room needs that week.
A deep build session. Bring a real project; leave with it working.
Async channels for shipping what you've built, asking what's stuck, and showing what's working. No lectures. No recycled YouTube.
Information is free. Application is the moat.
Whatever actually moves your business forward.

Because 3am Zoom calls aren't a strategy.
Most AI communities run on US hours and US context. If you don't live there, you're watching livestreams at 3am and building a network that can't actually refer you work.
Wednesday noon AEST. Not 2am your time.
Built for Australians. In Australian English.
A network of people who might actually refer you work.
Built here. For here.
In one lunch hour, you build an AI agent that handles your inbox.
Free, one Tuesday at noon AEST. A taste of what we build inside the community — not a demo, not a toy. By the end of the hour your inbox is triaging itself: categorising, drafting replies, flagging what matters.
Replay sent if you can't make it live. Questions answered between sessions.
Kyle Behrend.
A builder before a teacher.
In the last two months, with Claude Code as a collaborator, I shipped three fully functioning online directories, rebuilt my personal website as a living CV, started an app, spun up a range of internal dashboards, and deployed two agentic systems — small teams of agents that handle research, community management, and the repeating work of running a business. All while working full-time supporting nonprofits across four continents with AI implementation, automation, and training. AI Mates exists because I want more Australians building this way — not watching from the sidelines while the story happens overseas.

Pull up a seat.
Two ways in. Join the community now and you’re in the room this Wednesday — or take the free workshop first and decide after.
Hosted on Skool. One quiet email per week, never more.
Who's this actually for?
Australian solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and microbusiness owners who are intermediate-or-beyond with AI — already using ChatGPT or Claude, ready to move from “I’ve watched tutorials” to “I’ve shipped something that works.”
What do I need to show up?
A paid ChatGPT or Claude subscription, an inbox you’d like to stop drowning in, and an hour at noon on a Tuesday for the workshop. That’s it.
What's the free workshop?
Tuesday 16 June 2026, 12:00–1:00pm AEST. We’ll be in touch closer to the date with prep details; on the day we build an AI agent live, together, using Make.com. Free, and the cleanest taste of what we do inside.
When does the community launch?
We're live. Every Wednesday at noon AEST for an hour-long live build, plus one Saturday a month for a longer deep-build session. Plus the between-calls channels on Skool.
Do I need to code?
No. Comfort with tools like Zapier, Airtable, or Notion is plenty. Some of us write code, most of us don’t. You’ll choose your own track.
How do I join?
Click Join — it takes you straight to the AI Mates community on Skool. You can join anytime; no waitlist, no cohort gates.
What does it cost?
The workshop is free. Community membership uses founding-member pricing — the price steps up as more people join, so the earlier you lock in, the lower it stays. No tier numbers to memorise; your price is whatever the going rate is when you join.
