Cohort 1 · 2-Day Live Online Workshop · Zoom

In one weekend, turn AI from a toy you play with into a skill that pays you.

This is Cohort 1 by TechWithGul — a hands-on, 2-day workshop for people who aren't techies. Learn to create with AI, automate the boring work, and earn from it — no coding, no prior experience. Walk out with working systems, cheat sheets you keep, and a plan for your first paying client.

2 evenings hands-on 8 modules, zero fluff No coding needed Cheat sheets you keep

The shift this weekend

Most people keep AI in a browser tab — one question, copy the answer, close it. You'll leave knowing how to make AI create, automate, and earn — on repeat.

The transformation

Same you. A completely different Monday.

Concrete before-and-after — the kind of change you feel the first week you get home.

Before this weekendAfter this weekend
Stare at a blank caption box for 30 minutes, then post something you don't love. Feed one idea in, get a week of captions, hooks, and hashtags back — in your voice.
Pay a designer (and wait 3 days) for a logo, thumbnail, or product photo. Generate on-brand images and studio product shots yourself, in minutes, for free.
Answer the same customer questions by hand, all day, every day. An automation replies instantly in your tone while you sleep.
"I use AI" means asking ChatGPT one thing at a time. "I run AI systems" means tools that research, write, design, and follow up together.
20 half-baked ideas for making money with AI, none of them started. One clear service, a price, and a message ready to send your first client.

The honest comparison

Why not just learn it free on YouTube?

You can — and you should keep watching. Here's what a room, a weekend, and a plan give you that a playlist can't.

The free route · Rs 0

Endless tutorials

  • Great starting points — YouTube, free ChatGPT, Canva basics
  • 47 tabs open, tutorial paralysis, "which tool do I even use?"
  • Watch someone else do it; never actually ship your own
  • No one to unstick you at the exact moment you're stuck
  • "I'll start the side income someday"
Cohort 1

Cohort 1 by TechWithGul · Rs 3,000

One weekend, real systems

  • One tool per job, not fifty — the exact stack that works, curated
  • Live, hands-on on Zoom — you build alongside me and get unstuck in real time
  • Walk out with working prompts, an automation, and an income plan
  • Cheat sheets, prompt library & tools directory — yours to keep forever
  • A WhatsApp cohort that keeps you accountable after Sunday

"If your AI course is still just a list of tools, it's a bookmark folder. This is a workshop where you actually build."

The weekend blueprint

Day 1 you learn to create. Day 2 you learn to earn.

Eight modules, built to stack: Saturday makes you fluent in AI, Sunday turns that fluency into automations and income you can start on Monday.

Day 1 · Saturday · Speak AI Fluently

Create with AI

Stop guessing at prompts. Learn how AI actually thinks, get the one formula that fixes 90% of bad answers, turn Claude into your daily co-worker, and master the tools that make content, images and video.

M2
Prompt Engineering — the RTCF formula
Why prompts fail, the Role · Task · Context · Format template, adding an example (few-shot), and how to push back to get answer #2, #3, #10.

The one formula you'll use forever

RTCF — the difference between "meh" and magic.

Ninety percent of bad AI answers come from vague prompts. Give AI four things and it stops guessing. You'll drill this until it's muscle memory.

Copy-paste template →
You are [ROLE]. Your task is to [TASK].
Context: [CONTEXT]. Give the answer as [FORMAT].

Never accept answer #1 — just say back:

"Make it shorter" "Give me 3 options" "Warmer / more casual" "Add a real example" "Explain like I'm 5" "Put it in a table"
R
Role — who AI should be
"You are a social media manager for a clothing brand."
T
Task — what you want
"Write 3 Instagram captions for our Eid sale."
C
Context — what it needs to know
"Young families in Pakistan, warm & playful tone."
F
Format — what good looks like
"Each under 20 words, ending with a CTA."

Day 2 · Automation

Every automation is just three pieces.

Once you see the pattern, you'll spot automatable work everywhere. We build one together live — then you get a stack to steal.

Trigger — the "when"

Something happens

A new email, a form reply, a set time, a new row in a sheet.

Action — the "do"

AI does the work

Draft a reply, add a row, send a message, publish a post.

Connection — the glue

Tools talk to each other

Zapier or Make links your apps together. No code, ever.

Automations you can steal on Sunday

Day 2 · The payoff

What to charge — and how to get your first client in 7 days.

The part most courses skip. Real starting rates and a plan you can act on before the weekend's even sunk in.

Freelance services
$50–300 /project
≈ Rs 14k–85k · start at $15–40/hr
Digital products
$9–49
≈ Rs 2.5k–14k per template, guide or mini-course
Automation setups
$100–500
≈ Rs 28k–140k per workflow + monthly care
Content & audience
$0 → deals
brand deals from ~5–10k followers

Price the outcome, not the hours. Raise your rate every 2–3 clients. (PKR figures are a rough guide — verify the day's rate.)

Your first client in 7 days

  1. List 10 people or businesses with the exact problem you solve.
  2. Message them — offer ONE clear result, not a menu of services.
  3. Do the first one at a discount for an honest review. That review sells the next five.
Steal this DM

"Hi [name] — I set up a little AI tool that answers your DMs in your own voice. I'd love to do it for you free this week in exchange for a quick review. Want to try it?"

Your instructor

Gul Jabeen

Director of Engineering, Hyly.ai · Founder, TechWithGul.ai

I teach AI to people who were told they "aren't technical" — and watch them build things they never thought they could. By day I lead engineering at Hyly.ai; every day I share practical AI on @techwithgul.ai — the exact tools, prompts and automations that save real hours and make real money.

This isn't theory from a slide deck. It's the same stack I use to ship real products and content — distilled into two focused evenings, taught in plain language, with me live on the call to unstick you.

Practical, not hype Beginner-first Pakistan-based

What people say

Empowered, not overwhelmed.

Pricing

One weekend. A completely different way to work.

Less than most people spend on tools they never learn to use — and you leave with systems, not slides.

FAQ

Questions you're probably thinking.

Do I need any tech or coding background? +
None at all. This is built for non-techies — we start from the very basics and everything is done in plain language. If you can use WhatsApp and a browser, you're ready.
I've barely used ChatGPT. Will I keep up? +
Yes. Day 1 begins with foundations, so complete beginners and daily-AI users start from the same page. By the end of night one you'll be prompting like a pro.
Is it online or in-person? +
100% online — two live, hands-on sessions on Zoom. You build alongside me and get unstuck in real time, and every session is recorded so you can rewatch anytime. The Zoom link is shared on registration.
What will I actually walk out with? +
A set of working prompts in your voice, at least one live automation, your own Claude Skills & connectors, a certificate, the full resource kit, and a concrete plan to earn — plus your capstone AI system built live.
What do I need to bring? +
A laptop with stable internet, and a free Zoom account. Free versions of the tools are enough to complete the workshop; we'll clearly flag the few that are worth paying for and when.
Will the AI tools cost me money? +
Almost everything we use is free or free-to-try. In the tools directory each pick is badged free/paid, and I only recommend paying for a tool once it clearly earns its keep.
What's the refund policy? +
Seats are limited and the group is small, so seats are non-refundable — but they're transferable. Can't make it? Send a friend in your place.
Can my company pay for this? +
Yes — an invoice is provided for reimbursement. It's an easy L&D expense to justify for the time it saves your team.
Sign-ups go to your live Notion form. Every Register button opens your Cohort 1 Notion form — worth submitting a test entry once to confirm it flows into your database. Still to confirm: the dates — search for 19–20 July 2026.

After the weekend

The workshop ends Sunday. The momentum doesn't.

Every cohort becomes a class, and every class joins a private WhatsApp community — a group of people who now think about AI the way you will after this weekend. Share what you built, ask for help on your next project, and stay sharp as AI keeps moving.

Show & tell

Post what you built. Get feedback. Steal ideas from the room.

Get unstuck

Hit a wall on a real project? Drop it in the group and get help.

Stay current

AI moves fast. Your cohort keeps you a step ahead of it.
