AI training & implementation for operating businesses.
We train your team on AI.
In your office. On your real work.
Then we build the automations worth building. 30 days. Guaranteed.
Every team we train moves up a level in 30 days. Or the last invoice is void.
The AI Diagnostic
Where do you actually stand?
Two sliders, one for you and one for your company. Pick the level that fits. We'll show you what we'd work on next.
FOR YOU
Where do I stand?
Lv 2 · Prompter
"I use AI daily. I've gotten real value but it lives in browser tabs."
What we'd focus on
- →Stop tab-hopping. Move into a Claude Project or custom GPT for your top 3 tasks
- →Capture your context once, reuse it everywhere
- →Pick one decision you make weekly and codify the framework
→ Together we'd build your starter OS in a Thesis Sprint.
FOR YOUR ORG
Where do we stand?
Lv 2 · Sanctioned Tools
"We license Copilot, Glean, ChatGPT Enterprise. Adoption is uneven."
What we'd focus on
- →Audit what your $60K/year in licenses actually delivers vs. what a portable artifact would
- →Pick one workflow per team to rebuild — not retrofit — with AI
- →Train your power users into internal champions, not Glean admins
→ Together we'd run a Thesis Sprint to scope your next AI build.

The AI revolution is happening. Most people are watching it on a webinar.
Three things are true at once. The tools are getting better every month. The cost of building is collapsing. And the gap between people who use AI and people who operate it is widening fast.
Most of what's on offer doesn't help you cross that gap. Online courses you'll never finish. SaaS wrappers that lock your data behind someone else's UI. Big-firm consultants who hand you a deck and disappear. Vibe-coded prototypes nobody can maintain.
You don't need any of that.
You need a team that trains your people and builds what's actually worth building, then hands it over running, so your people own it and operate it. Your data, your prompts, your tools. Portable. Yours.
That's what we do.
“People worry AI means we stop using our brains. It’s the opposite — it lets us stop doing the things that don’t use our brains. Stop the tedium.”
What makes Fieldwork different
Own your AI. Or someone else owns your business.
01
Sovereignty.
We teach the fundamentals — prompts, context, agents, harnesses — not which SaaS vendor has "AI" stickered on the box. Models get smarter and cheaper every quarter. Teams that own their fluency compound. Teams renting it forever don't.
02
Capability, not dependency.
When something's worth automating, we build it and hand it over running. The goal is never to make you need us forever. We train your team to own the fluency: to operate what we build, push it, and spot the next bet themselves. Most vendors leave you renting a tool nobody can run. We'd rather leave your team more capable than we found it.
03
Operator-rooted.
We've been in the seat — built products, shipped to production, raised capital, sold companies. The guidance comes from scars, not slides.
The method
We show up in person, train your team, and build what's worth building.
Most AI consulting ships a chatbot and leaves. We do the opposite. We work on-site with your team, and three things happen. Often all at once.
Train your team, in person
We're in the room — with your exec and the people who actually do the work. Hands on keyboards, your real tools, your real workflows. The whole team levels up together, not just the person who signed the contract.
Map where AI pays off
As we train, we map your workflows and flag the highest-leverage places to apply AI and automation. You leave knowing exactly where the money and the hours are hiding — ranked, not hand-waved.
Build what's worth building
When a workflow is worth automating, we build it and hand it over running. The training makes your team fluent enough to operate it, push it, and know when it's working. The heavy engineering stays with us, so you get something production-grade, not a half-built prototype.
The AI-Native Guarantee
Your team moves up the AI-Native scale in 30 days — or you don't pay the final invoice.
One promise, and it's measurable. Train with us and your team moves up at least one level on the 0–5 AI-Native scale — measured the same way on Day 1 and Day 30. Here's how we hold ourselves to it.
01
The whole team, not a hero.
We measure the team — from the exec who signed to the people doing the work. Everyone we train moves up, or the guarantee isn't met. No leaning on one power user to carry the score.
02
Measured, not vibes.
Day 1, your team rates itself on the 0–5 AI-Native scale — the same one in the calculator at the top of this page. Day 30, same rubric, same questions. No moving goalposts.
03
Or we keep working, on us.
Haven't moved up at least one level by Day 30? The final invoice is voided and we keep coaching, free, until you do. The risk is ours, not yours.
The fine print: this covers training engagements. If you bring us in purely to build an automation — no training, no upleveling your team — the guarantee doesn't apply, and we'll both know that going in.
Haven't rated yourself yet? Scroll up — the calculator at the top of this page is the same one the guarantee runs on.
What we do
Three ways to work together.
All deliverables are yours to keep — code, docs, prompts, configs. No retainer required after handoff.
Selected work
Real artifacts. Real businesses. Yours when we're done.
Commercial real estate · ~1M sq ft office, Boise
Rafanelli & Nahas
Two-day, in-person AI enablement for a ~15-person commercial real-estate firm and its partners — bringing a mixed room, from skeptics to daily users, to a common, capable baseline. By the end the team was building their own Claude projects and skills on real work, including a live credit-card-reconciliation automation.
Our own venture · built in weeks, closed on the data
Rent A Pool Boise
Not a client. Our own bet on temporary pool rental in Boise, built end to end: brand identity, marketing site, interactive estimator with Google Maps service-area validation, early-bird pricing, partial-lead capture, GA4 funnel, and a Sheets back-office on Apps Script. Zero to operational in weeks.
rentapoolboise.comIntegrative health practice, Boise
Azure Health
A practitioner launching a new integrative practice — combining nervous system regulation, energy work, and medically guided care — needed a strategy and a credibility-grade web presence that could speak to both clinical and energetic audiences without losing either one.
azurehealthco.comWhat people say
“Gabe is the rare one who can do all three things that usually don’t live in the same person: coach a team through real change, build the systems himself, and roll them out so they stick. He closes the whole loop — from strategy to working system to adoption. The teams he touches come out faster and clearer than they went in.”
Luke Larkin
Owner, Larkin Systems
“We had a team spread all over the map on AI — from skeptics to daily users. Fieldwork brought everyone to the same capable baseline, building with skills and projects on their own work.”
Scott Schoenherr
Managing Partner, Rafanelli & Nahas
“I’m just laughing at the drafts that are created. They’re 1,000 times better than anything I could come up with — and in no time.”
Matt Arriaga
Owner, Arriaga Mediation
Who we are
We build with your team, not for them.
Fieldwork is an AI training and implementation firm in Boise, founded by Gabe Blanchet — MIT engineer, and an operator who has built and sold software companies for a decade.
Every engagement runs with two people on-site: a facilitator who trains your team, and an engineer who works the table. The coaching comes from scars, not slides.
