IMPORTANT: You need this done BEFORE we meet next week
Hey Friend,
Holy badoodles.
We broke stripe. We broke thrivecart. We broke kit. We broke everything.
I'm sat here in complete and utter awe. I can't say anything but "I love you".
Your support over the last few days has been INCREDIBLE 🧡
Today's email is a bit administrative since so many of you have grabbed tickets to the 1 Hour AI Studio workshop next week. So here it comes:
On Tuesday, May 5th, 4PM UK time…we’re installing your AI Studio.
Think of it like opening a tiny restaurant - except the chef is an AI, the dining room is on the internet, and we’ll have customers walking in inside 30 minutes.
To make sure we don’t lose the first 20 minutes to admin, please do these 3 things before we meet.
1/ Make two free accounts
a) Cloudflare — cloudflare.com (https://cloudflare.com). This is the building your restaurant sits in. Free to sign up.
b) Anthropic — platform.anthropic.com (https://platform.claude.com/). This is the chef - the talent doing the actual cooking. Once you’re signed in, click API Keys, create one, and copy it somewhere safe (a note on your phone is fine). Then go to Settings → Billing and add $5 of credit - that’s the chef’s wage for the day. More than enough (optional for now).
2/ Install 2 things
a) Node.js — nodejs.org (https://nodejs.org/en). Click the big green "Get NodeJS" button. This is the kitchen - the space where the cooking happens. Without it, the chef has nowhere to work.
b) Claude Code — claude.com/download (https://claude.com/download). This is your contractor. You tell it what to build, in plain English, and it does the work for you.
3/ Download the workshop file (May 5th)
In the workshop. The first thing I’ll do is I’ll send a file called ai-studio-template.zip. This will also be sent with the workshop replay to any customers of the AI Studio workshop. Save it somewhere you can find it (Desktop is fine). We’ll unzip together LIVE. Think of it as the blueprints for your restaurant. We’ll roll them out on the spot.
That’s it.
If those names sound like some Black Magic Voodoo Shadoodles, ignore that feeling. You don’t need to understand any of them. Sign up, click install, and 'the contractor' handles the rest.
Here’s what May 5th looks like:
- Open the blueprints
- Hand them to your contractor
- Watch your restaurant get built on your computer
- Move it into the building on the internet
- Open the doors
- Send the address to whoever you want
Around 30 minutes, start to finish.
If anything on the prep list isn’t working, please wait for the Q&A at the end and we’ll be headbanging to some AC/DC tunes until the very end.
Can’t wait to see what you build.
If you haven't already and you want to join us, grab a seat here for $1:

Your biggest fan,
Jacob “planning” Pegs
ps. I promise this is the ONLY techie email you'll get. It just had to be done. From next week on we resume as normal:)
oh look, a hooman!
