Your filesYours to keep
When every department depends on you

You know what needs doing.
It still waits for you.

The lead that needs a follow-up. The post you meant to publish. The client handoff sitting in your notes. You have the tools, but you are still the person holding the work together.

We start by choosing one recurring job, giving AI the context it needs, and building a workflow you can run, review and improve.

Example build: outreach

From a prospect list
to a follow-up ready to review.

A department is a connected workflow with a clear result. Here is what an outreach build can look like.

1

Give it the input

A prospect list, your offer, who you help and examples of how you write.

2

Prepare the work

Research each prospect and draft a relevant message using your company knowledge.

3

Review and approve

Check the research and wording. Edit the draft and approve what gets sent.

4

Keep the record

Save the approved output, update the connected CRM and log the run so you can see what happened.

Pick your first department

Choose the work you want
off your plate first.

If your answer is "all of it," we help you choose one bottleneck in Session 1. Start with work that repeats often and has a clear output you can check.

What keeps waiting for youWhat you build toward
Outreach and follow-up
Research prospects, prepare relevant messages and follow-ups, and keep your CRM up to date. You review before sending.
Consistent content
Turn your ideas, calls and existing work into drafts for the channels you use. Review them before publishing.
Client delivery
Organize onboarding information, prepare project updates and make the next handoff clear.
Admin and reporting
Prepare invoice records and recurring reports, with exceptions flagged for your review.

Your build is scoped to your business, the tools you use and the connections available. Start with one department, then use the same method for the next.

Who this is for

You do not need to be an AI expert.
You need real work to build around.

You run a business, deliver client work or keep an operation moving, and too much still depends on you. You may be new to AI or already using several tools. The cohort gives you a guided path from "where do I start?" to one department you can run and review.

What to bring

  • A Mac or Windows laptop and a Claude account, paid separately to Anthropic. Your plan and usage determine the cost.
  • Two hours, three times a week, for two weeks, plus time to complete the setup and practice between sessions.
  • A real business and examples of the work you repeat: a proposal, call notes, content or a process you can explain.
  • Willingness to follow the guided setup, connect your tools and check the work your agents produce.

Give it the context
you keep having to repeat.

During setup, Claude interviews you about your business. Your answers and existing files become a company knowledge base that you can check and edit.

Then every agent plugs into that brain. They know your offers, your clients, your voice. That is the difference between an AI org that knows your company and a folder of generic prompts.

1

Set up together

Follow the guided Mac or Windows setup and open your SkillTree workspace in Claude Code.

2

The interview

Claude asks about your offers, clients, and voice. Type it or voice-note it for as long as you want.

3

Your second brain is built

Everything you said becomes your company knowledge base, the brain at the center of the tree.

4

Your AI org is live

Every agent plugs into your second brain and does its job in your company's context, with new drops landing every month.

The two weeks

Six sessions. One department, end to end.

September 21 to October 2. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern. Six live sessions, recorded the same day.

Week one21 to 25 Sep
Session 01Mon 21 Sep

Foundations

Watch a finished department run, then follow the guided SkillTree setup on your laptop. Use the onboarding interview to start your company knowledge files and choose the first bottleneck to tackle.

You leave with: SkillTree installed, your context built, your department chosen, and homework: the ten things it will do for you.
Session 02Wed 23 Sep

Your workspace

Set up the editor (Mac or Windows) and GitHub. Unlock the department library. Choose your runtime. Learn what the agent reads first and what lives where. Turn your ten things into the roles and skills of your department.

You leave with: your workspace ready, the library unlocked and a plan for the jobs your department will handle.
Session 03Fri 25 Sep

Encode your business

Drag in your site, a proposal, your pricing, a call transcript, the work you already do by hand. The system reads it, drafts your company files, reads them back and asks what it got wrong. Your department learns from your real examples.

You leave with: your business knowledge saved and your first real run logged.
Week two28 Sep to 2 Oct
Session 04Mon 28 Sep

Deploy your department

Your department running end to end in the terminal. See it on your SkillTree. Put a dashboard on it, connect your real tools (CRM, inbox, calendar, sheets), and click through your own data. Review what it produced and fix the gaps together.

You leave with: a department running on your machine, on your data, on your tools.
Session 05Wed 30 Sep

Put it on a clock

Turn the repeat work into workflows. Schedule them. Assign jobs from your phone, approve them in the morning. Agents draft, you send. Work starts running while you are not looking.

You leave with: repeat work scheduled where appropriate, with approval steps and a record of each run.
Session 06Fri 2 Oct

Demo day

Show your department running end to end. We stress-test it live and fix what breaks. Then you learn exactly how to do the next department yourself.

You leave with: a working department, or the guarantee applies.

Before the cohort: Free live training, September 10 at 10 a.m. ET. Private community and WhatsApp group throughout. 90 days of support every two weeks after demo day.

Who teaches it

Learn it from the founder companies pay to build it.

Ahmed Alassafi, founder and CEO of Altari

Ahmed Alassafi

Founder & CEO, Altari
Creator of SkillTree
Previously at Relevance AI, Deel & Red Bull

Ahmed runs Altari, the AI growth partner shipping production AI systems for companies like Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Deel and PPS. Every engagement starts the same way the cohort does: audit how the business runs, put a number on what each process costs in hours and dollars, rank what to automate by payback, then build. The cohort is that method, taught live, on your business.

Behind the work: 600+ businesses consulted, close to 10,000 people trained to build with AI (including teams at AWS), and systems shipped across dozens of industries on several continents. Before Altari he was a certified expert and founding GTM at Relevance AI, the AI workforce platform, after two years in sales at Deel finishing well over target. He builds SkillTree in public, and 14,000+ businesses have taken its broader business audit.

The Flights Club · Webinar excerpt
Client reviews

What those companies say.

The same method the cohort teaches, delivered by Altari for its clients. In their words.

“Twelve years of points knowledge lived in my head. Now it lives in one company brain the whole team can ask. It answers from our own files, turns call notes into finished follow-ups, and runs 24/7 without us touching it.”
Steve HuiFounder · The Flights Club
“Five years of institutional knowledge and project history lived in files we had to manually search. Now it’s a single system the whole practice draws on. It answers from our own work, holds our standards, and never forgets a thing.”
Brett Roake-BarefootPrincipal · Ministry of Architecture + Interiors
“As an executive recruiting firm, we needed outbound that felt strategic and relationship-driven. Altari built us an AI-driven outreach engine, adaptive and repeatable. In the pilot, we built real pipeline and closed a new client.”
Sarah TelgarskyPrincipal & Sales Lead · Impact Partners
“Lead research & qualification used to manually take hours each day, and now it’s done in the background. Altari has completely changed how we do this. Research quality is better too, less errors.”
Nick RooseSales Manager · Deel
“Our team was buried in spreadsheets and manual campaign matching. Now, Altari handles everything from pairing creators to repurposing content that actually performs. Engagement rates have never been higher.”
Paul Ryan JonesFounder & CEO · Oriri Marketing
“We had revenue leaking across accounting, invoicing, and our CRM, with no clear view of it. Altari built dashboards that surface it in real time and automated the reconciliation behind them. We’ve recovered over $100k that was quietly slipping through the cracks.”
Divjot SahniDirector · EZYE Consulting Services

Questions

Read this first.

Do I need to be technical?
You do not need prior coding experience. We guide you through setup on Mac or Windows, including Claude Code, your workspace and the tools your department needs. You will follow the steps, practice between sessions and review your agents' work.
Mac or Windows?
Both.
Is this replacing my team?
No. It is giving you departments you do not have. Agents do the jobs, you manage them. Nothing is sent, posted or paid without a human saying so.
What do I actually own?
The files. The kit, your company files, your departments, your roles, your map. They stay on your machine after the cohort and after the 12 months. Library access and updates run for 12 months and can be renewed directly. Cohort support runs every two weeks for 90 days after demo day. Downloaded files remain yours to keep.
Is this a subscription?
The cohort is a paid enrollment, not a monthly SkillTree subscription. Your Claude account is separate, and optional tools you connect may have their own fees. Library access and updates are included for 12 months.
What if I miss a session?
Recorded the same day. Missing sessions does void the build guarantee.
Is there a one to one option?
Yes. The SkillTree VIP seat includes everything in the founding seat plus three private 1-on-1 build sessions. The VIP seat is $5,000 USD, with 5 VIP places within the 50 cohort seats. Reserve your VIP seat using the checkout button above.
Why not just hire Altari to build it?
You can. That is the agency, it is done for you, and it starts at five figures. The cohort exists so you can build your first department yourself, with Ahmed live, at a fraction of that. Same method, your hands on the files.
Can I bring my team?
This cohort is built for one person: you, on your machine. Your files live in a private repo, so a teammate can be added later. If you need a shared, multi-user setup for a whole company, that is what the agency does. Ask us.
