Start here

Your AI should know more about your business today than it did last month.

It doesn’t, and that isn’t a prompting problem. Nothing you teach it is kept anywhere, so every correction you make dies with the session. CurioChat is where you learn to build the part that keeps it — or where I build it with you, live, on your own work.

This page takes about five minutes. It tells you what the problem actually is, who I am, and which of three ways in is yours — including the one that costs nothing.

Show me the three ways in

01What’s actually wrong

You keep teaching it the same thing, and it keeps not learning.

You fixed the tone in January. You fixed it again in March. You will fix it again in a few weeks, because the correction went nowhere — there was no place for it to go.

So Monday starts with ninety minutes of re-briefing before any real work happens. You pay for two AI subscriptions because neither one remembers. Your prompt document is on version seven and the filename says FINAL, twice. Drafts land at eighty percent and need the same three edits every single time, which means you can’t plan around them, which is why the Friday off is still theoretical.

The tool is exactly as sharp today as it was the week you bought it. It never got worse. It just never got better, and nobody ever measured the difference.

You were the only part of that arrangement doing its job.

You remembered. You corrected. You caught the errors before the client did. The machine kept none of it, and the industry answered by selling you a better way to ask when the thing that was broken was keeping. Four prompt packs on the shelf, two of them opened once. That’s not a discipline problem.

What the other version of your week looks like

Monday opens with the tool already holding everything you have ever told it. Drafts arrive in your voice, already checked against your own rules, so you read the three exceptions instead of all eleven pages. The fix you make this morning is still working in November, and in the January after that.

Thirty focused hours instead of forty scattered ones. And on Friday, the phone goes in a drawer, because nothing is waiting on you to remember it.

That is the entire difference between renting intelligence and owning it.

What you bring

Work you already do — this week’s emails, drafts and client decisions. Nothing invented for the exercise.
Whatever AI you already pay for. Nothing to migrate, nothing to rebuild.
The prompt packs and half-finished setups you already own, if you have them. Most of what’s in them turns out to be rules the system can finally hold on to.
About thirty minutes a day, at your own pace.
No technical background. You correct it in plain English; the complexity is my problem, not yours.

What you keep

The ninety Monday minutes. Every week, not once.
Corrections that stay corrected — taught in January, still holding in November.
Drafts pre-checked against your own rules, so you read the exceptions instead of everything.
Four numbers you can actually read, so “it’s working” stops being a feeling and starts being a figure.
Your voice and your judgment — sharper, because the system keeps what you learn too.

02Who’s behind this

I’m Pierre. For 36 years I built the systems two of North America’s largest banks were not allowed to get wrong — market-risk engines, trade reporting, the filings a regulator reads line by line. When one of those is wrong, it isn’t an inconvenience, it’s somebody’s pension. You learn to build things that cannot quietly forget, because forgetting is how people get hurt.

I retired in April 2026, on a date I picked, and then carried on shipping software every morning — building was never the job, it was the habit. I play chess. I’ve run ten marathons and qualified for Boston twice. I’ve co-written ten technical books and I’m late on the eleventh. My own practice runs on the systems I teach here, which is the only testimonial I currently have and I’d rather say so than dress something up.

What I’m actually in it for is small and hard to market: the silence of the mistake that didn’t come back.

03The three ways in

One thing before the list, so nobody loses an afternoon. If what you want is for AI to just handle it — a setup you do once, after which the emails write themselves — that isn’t sold here, and I think it’s a toy. It is sold on ten thousand other pages, and I’d rather say that now than after you’ve paid me. If that’s where you are today, read the blog for a few weeks instead and see whether the longer argument grows on you. It’s free, and it stays free.

How much of this do you want to do yourself?

Same system underneath all three. The only question is who does the building — and whether you want to spend money at all yet.

Option one

I’ll build it myself

Three courses, one method. Pick by what you actually do all day:

Agentic Coding Mastery — your AI writes code fast, and quietly makes design decisions you never signed off on.
AI-Powered Solopreneur — install AI inside your real workflows so the business keeps what it learns.
Stay Sharp — keep your judgment sharp while your output speeds up.

Enrollment is closed while the first installs are delivered. Every pitch page is up and every waitlist is open.

Option two

Build it with me, on my own work

An hour or two together on your actual workspace — not a report that lands in your inbox, a session you watch happen. Seven checks scored against the clock, one live test where we hand your AI a real draft of yours and see whether it will refuse bad work, and a written recommendation of what to build and in what order. Two of the four possible verdicts tell you to build nothing.

$750 USD, credited toward the $2,500 USD install if one is recommended. Booking opens once the founding installs are delivered — there’s a waitlist, not a cart.

Option three

I’m just reading for now

Sensible, and it costs you an email address at most. Three fixes you can make to your own setup, one a day for three days, and then it stops — there is no fourth email and nothing to unsubscribe from afterwards. Or the Saturday note, most weeks, on what I’m building and what it measured.

Both are free and both work today, which is more than the other two options can say this month.

The Saturday Reset

Find out whether I’m worth listening to first.

Most Saturdays I write up what I built that week, what it measured, and what I got wrong. You’ll know inside a month whether this is engineering or just a nicer font on the same old promises.

No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
