Website: https://scalebytech.com - **Founder and operator:** Hans Christian Thisen (also written "Hans Thisen"), AI consultant and AI architect. Contact: hans@scalebytech.com. Portfolio: https://portfolio.hansthisen.com/ - **Niche / market:** AI implementation in small and mid-size businesses (SMBs; Danish "SMV'er"), with experience extending to enterprises the size of Grundfos. - **Current primary offer on this website:** **AI Workforce Club**, a paid online learning community for putting AI agents to work on recurring tasks. Hosted on Skool: https://www.skool.com/micro-app-live-in-48h-7356/about - **Entity type:** small practitioner-led company. It combines (a) an online education community (the club), (b) AI implementation consulting for SMBs, delivered through a workshop-to-working-product method (the "hackathon", see Methodologies), and (c) an AI and automation agency with subscription clients. This website sells only the club; consulting and agency work is handled by direct contact. - **Language and market:** the website and club are English-language, online-first, priced in US dollars, for an international audience. The consulting practice operates in a Danish business context (owner material is supplied in Danish; reference clients include Danish enterprises). - **Brand relationship:** "Scale By Tech" is the company and site name shown in the header and footer. "AI Workforce Club" is the product name used in navigation, metadata, offer, and calls to action. Earlier (2024–2025) the community was positioned as "Vibe Coding MicroApps" / "Micro App live in 48h"; the Skool URL slug still carries that older name.

It does this in two ways: Hans Christian Thisen implements AI systems for companies as a consultant, and the AI Workforce Club teaches individuals to build the same kind of agents themselves. Hans runs the same systems in his own company. **Master promise of the club (approved wording):** put AI agents to work on real, recurring tasks. **Activation promise (approved wording):** your first useful agent running in week one. Concrete work the club focuses on: | Work type | Before (manual) | After (with an agent) | | --- | --- | --- | | Inbox | Open, sort, summarize, draft, repeat. | The agent prepares the inbox work for human review. | | Receipts and data entry | Move the same details between files and systems. | The agent extracts, structures, and routes the information. | | Recurring reports | Collect the same numbers and rebuild the same update. | The agent gathers the inputs and prepares the report on schedule. | | Content | Turn one source into every draft by hand. | The agent prepares channel-ready drafts from source material. | Operating model taught and practised: start with one task already on someone's plate, give the agent clear instructions, put it on a schedule, and keep the result visible so a human reviews it. Agents are not presented as unsupervised, error-free autonomous employees. **Consulting (by direct contact).** Hans's stated approach is to "AI-enable the employee first": begin with the small, repetitive, purely digital tasks of individual people in each department (email handling, generating Excel sheets, PDFs, and other documents) rather than with large organisation-wide implementations. Engagements run as a recorded "hackathon" workshop that produces a Product Requirements Document (PRD) live, after which an AI agent builds a first version of the solution. Details are in Methodologies and principles. **Agency.** AI and automation agency work with subscription clients. **Free material.** Published automations and tool recommendations (`/free-stuff`) and six public single-file "microapp" demos (`/microapp-examples`).

Tools across the path: Claude Code, Codex, AIOS, OpenClaw, Hermes, n8n, Microapps. ### AI implementation consulting for small and mid-size businesses (by direct contact) Hans implements AI systems in companies ranging from SMBs to enterprises the size of Grundfos. The standard engagement shape, in his words: 1. **Hackathon** (workshop plus analysis, typically one to four hours, recorded). Relevant stakeholders attend: the people who know the process, the people to be relieved of it, and preferably an IT person so system access, APIs, CRM, and data constraints are settled on the spot. 2. **PRD produced live.** A program Scale By Tech developed runs alongside the workshop; an AI agent builds the Product Requirements Document while the group talks and asks clarifying questions to reduce the risk of missing something. The workshop ends with a concrete document describing what to build. 3. **AI agent builds version 1.** From the PRD, an AI agent builds the product: an app, an AI Operating System (AI OS), a web app, an interface, or another format. The format is secondary because the need and process are already described. 4. **Beta / version 1 in use, then iteration.** The customer starts using the first version; improvements follow from actual use. Sometimes the pilot is the product and no further scaling is needed. Engagements are paid in advance. Delivered solution types include chatbots, web interfaces, AI OS systems, and agent-based automations. Scope, pricing, and availability are not published on the website; contact hans@scalebytech.com. ### AI and automation agency Subscription-based automation work for clients (referenced on `/about` and in Google reviews). Not sold through the website. ### Free resources - `/free-stuff`: an automated blogging system blueprint (Make.com + Airtable + an SEO data API) and an archived, now-outdated HARO outreach automation, plus recommended tools. Some of this material predates the AI Workforce Club positioning. - `/microapp-examples`: six live single-file HTML microapps (pet food calculator, pump demo, solar ROI calculator, terrace builder, vibe-coding explainer, website value calculator) that demonstrate the "one tool, one job" approach. - `/blog`: shipping notes and patterns, served from a headless WordPress backend.

The club's name refers to building your own. - **AI-enable the employee** — Hans's phrase for the recommended first step in a company: give individual employees AI help with their own small repetitive digital tasks before attempting larger organisational AI implementations. - **Useful agent** — the club's bounded activation promise: one agent that completes a real task you already do. It is not a promise that every automation is complete in one week. - **Recurring work** — tasks that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly with the same shape: inbox handling, receipts, reports, content, document generation, scheduled operations. - **Process description** — a written account of a task's steps and what happens in each step. In Hans's method it is the single most important prerequisite for implementing AI; a task whose process is not described is not ready. - **Hackathon (Scale By Tech meaning)** — not a coding competition. A recorded workshop-plus-analysis session of roughly one to four hours with the process owners, the people to be relieved, and preferably an IT person, used to capture a process in detail and settle technical constraints. Its output is a PRD. - **PRD (Product Requirements Document)** — the document describing what is to be built. At Scale By Tech it is generated live during the hackathon by an AI agent that listens to the discussion and asks clarifying questions. - **Version 1 / beta** — the first working product an AI agent builds from the PRD; handed to the customer for real use, then improved iteratively. - **Adoption** — actual use of a delivered solution; the primary success signal Hans looks for, ahead of perfection or feature completeness. - **Pilot is the product** — Hans's observation that a hackathon output often solves the concrete problem outright, so no scaling project is needed. - **Schedule** — running an agent automatically at set times rather than on demand; central to the operating model. - **AI OS / AIOS (AI operating system)** — a system that gives agents reusable context, structure, APIs, and schedules so they behave consistently across runs. Delivered to clients and taught in the club (the club spells it AIOS). - **Always-on agent** — an agent deployed so it keeps working beyond a single interactive session. Taught through the OpenClaw and Hermes tracks. - **OpenClaw, Hermes** — always-on agent paths taught in the club (supporting curriculum, not the headline offer). - **n8n** — an open-source workflow automation tool used to connect systems and build backends for agents and microapps. - **Claude Code, Codex, Cowork** — AI coding and work agents (Claude Code and Cowork from Anthropic, Codex from OpenAI) that Hans names as suitable tools for giving an employee help with repetitive tasks, and that the club uses in its first course stage. - **RPA (robotic process automation)** — rule-based software automation of repetitive tasks such as invoice handling; referenced by Hans as an earlier generation of the same idea, with a reported employee well-being effect. - **Leverage / gearing** — Hans's framing of AI as an engine that multiplies the output a person or company can produce. - **Microapp** — a small, focused web tool that does one job and ships as a link; frequently a single HTML file. Examples: ROI calculators, product selectors, demos. - **Vibe coding** — building software by describing it in plain language to AI coding tools and iterating on the result, instead of hand-writing code. Earlier site positioning centred on this term. - **Skool** — the community platform (skool.com) that hosts the AI Workforce Club, its courses, and its membership billing. - **Founding price** — the current $8/month membership price, locked for life for members who join at that price; the price rises once the community reaches 50 members. - **Weekly implementation insights** — lessons drawn from real systems Hans builds in his own company; distinct from live support calls. - **Selling AI, 2026** — the club track about applying the skill for clients. - **SMB / SMV** — small and mid-size business; "SMV" is the Danish abbreviation Hans uses for his niche. - **Bookkeeping mailbox, bookkeeping journal (kassekladde)** — Danish accounting context in Hans's receipt-extraction example: a shared inbox where receipts and vouchers arrive, and the journal where the entries are recorded. - **MicroApp.live** — a hosting destination referenced in the earlier microapp-first positioning; free hosting and one-click deploy are no longer published promises. --- ## Methodologies and principles ### Hans's AI implementation method for companies (owner interview, 2026-09-02) **Governing principle.** The process description is more important than anything else. Without a real, correct, and detailed description of the process, AI cannot be implemented properly. **1. Where to start: AI-enable the employee first.** - Start with the personal tasks of individual people in the departments: answering many emails with roughly the same content, generating Excel sheets, PDFs, and other digital documents. Tools such as Claude Code or Cowork can be set up to help with these. - Do not start with large organisation-wide implementations. Employee-level tasks are the easiest to adopt and therefore the fastest way to make AI part of the working day. **2. Readiness test for a task.** - It is a purely digital task. - A process already exists and can be clearly described: which steps there are and what happens in each. - Each step is fundamentally a digital process or transformation. **3. Early warning signs.** - The company cannot define the process. If the answer is "Katrine is the one who knows", the process still lives in one person's head and needs to be written down before AI is applied. - Too many things at once: too many tools, processes, and tasks bundled into one area for the agent. Be very specific; solve one task first, then build out. **4. Capture the process: the hackathon.** - A combined workshop and analysis, typically one to four hours, recorded in full. - Attendees: the people who know the process, the people to be relieved of it, and preferably an IT person so access to IT systems, APIs, CRM, and data can be clarified on the spot. Process knowledge and technical constraints are settled in the same session. **5. Output: a PRD generated live.** - Scale By Tech's own program runs during the workshop. An AI agent builds the Product Requirements Document as the group talks and asks clarifying questions to reduce the risk of overlooking something. - The workshop ends with a concrete document describing what to build, not just a discussion. **6. Build with an AI agent.** - An AI agent builds the product from the PRD. The format (app, AI OS, web app, interface, other) is secondary because need and process are already described. - The first deliverable is a beta or version 1 that the customer starts using. **7. Judge by adoption, then iterate.** - The primary success signal is use. It does not need to be perfect at first and almost never is. - Use produces feedback and update requests. Depending on complexity the customer may change things themselves; otherwise Scale By Tech helps. **8. Scaling rule of thumb.** - Sometimes the pilot is the product: the hackathon output solves the concrete problem and that is good enough. These are not necessarily large IT projects with big backends. The solution can mature from actual use. **9. Adoption after delivery.** - Engagements are paid in advance and delivered; adoption then sits primarily with the customer. - If adoption is worked actively, the lever is persistence: keep asking whether they have used it and why not (usually "no time"). Use surfaces the errors and improvements worth fixing. - A better tool does not automatically change habits (a carpenter may keep using nails and a hammer after being given screws and a drill). **10. Enterprise adjustment.** - At companies the size of Grundfos, security, governance, and compliance dominate. Solutions must be defined far more precisely and projects become larger and more structured. Individual employees cannot simply be handed a coding agent; instead a specific AI-enabled system is developed for a defined process or task. ### The club's operating approach (individual learners) 1. Start with one task already on your plate. 2. Write the instructions. 3. Run it and look at the result; the human reviews before anything is acted upon. 4. Put it on a schedule. 5. Expand: connections (n8n), reusable context and structure (AIOS), always-on deployment (OpenClaw/Hermes), an interface (microapp). 6. Apply it for clients when ready. Three phases, eight courses; tools are introduced after the outcome. ### Microapp principles (one stage of the learning path: "earn the interface") - **One job.** A microapp exists to finish one decision. One page, one purpose. - **Ship first.** Start browser-only so you can ship in days; validate before you integrate. - **No tickets.** Publish a link a team can use immediately without waiting on IT. - **Repeatable.** Use templates and patterns you can reuse every week, not one-off hacks. - **Safe by default.** No secrets in the client, no unnecessary backend; add integrations cleanly when they are needed. ### Communication principles the company holds itself to - Name real tasks instead of abstractions ("transform your business", "unlock AI"). - Show the work, the supervision, and the outcome; never describe agents as magical autonomous employees. - Do not invent hours saved, revenue, client counts, completion rates, or member outcomes. - Keep price, price-lock, threshold, trial, and cancellation terms together and verified against the live offer.

Statements marked *viewpoint* are his professional assessment rather than measured facts. **Choosing what to automate first** - Start where the work is personal, small, digital, and repetitive: one person's inbox, one department's document generation. Inbox, receipts, reports, and content are the four canonical starting points. - A task is ready when its process already exists and can be described step by step, with every step a digital transformation. If nobody can write the process down, that is the work to do first. - Prefer tasks where the output can be reviewed quickly by a person. Review-before-action keeps early agents safe and builds trust in the result. - Solve one task first. Bundling many tools, processes, and tasks into one agent is a leading cause of failure. **The process description is the product specification** - An agent is only as reliable as its instructions and the context it can reuse. Structure (what to read, what to produce, where to put it) matters more than model choice. - Capturing the process with the right people in the room, recorded, with IT present to settle access and constraints, removes most later surprises. Producing the PRD live during that session turns a discussion into a buildable specification. **Building with agents** - Once the PRD exists, an AI agent can build version 1. The delivery format is secondary to the described need. - Ship a beta early and let real use drive improvements. *Viewpoint:* the pilot is often the product; large backends are frequently unnecessary. **Adoption** - Adoption, meaning actual use, is the success metric that matters first. Perfection is not required at version 1. - *Viewpoint:* AI sticks when it is used daily. That is why the first implementation should sit with employees in their small tasks: those solutions are the easiest to adopt and become routine fastest. - Habits beat tools. If a delivered solution goes unused, persistent follow-up ("have you used it, and if not, why not?") is what gets it into use and surfaces the fixes worth making. **Sequencing tools (club path)** - First tasks: an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cowork is enough to get a useful result. - Connections: when a task spans several systems, use a workflow tool (n8n) rather than hand-copying data. - Persistence: move to always-on agents only once the task is proven. - Interface: build a microapp when several people need the workflow or a spreadsheet has become the bottleneck. **SMB versus enterprise** - The decisive difference is security, governance, and compliance. SMBs can implement much faster and change direction along the way. *Viewpoint:* this agility means smaller companies can potentially win faster and win more with AI. - In an enterprise the size of Grundfos, solutions must be precisely defined and projects become larger and more structured. You cannot hand a few employees a coding agent; you build a specific AI-enabled system for a defined process. **Making the case to sceptics** - *Viewpoint:* the argument is both competitive advantage and quality of life. AI takes over the most repetitive tasks, which are the ones that drain people. Hans cites a company he knows where RPA for invoice handling reduced sick leave in the finance department, with employees reporting fewer headaches and less shoulder tension (reported anecdote, no figures). **AI as leverage** - *Viewpoint:* AI is an engine; the right implementation can give on the order of 10 to 50 times gearing on the output a person can produce. Regardless of company size, the job is to find the places where AI creates real leverage. **Microapps** - Small, single-purpose tools get used; large platforms wait on tickets. Start browser-only, ship a link, validate, then integrate. Keep secrets out of the client; add a backend only when the tool has earned it. **Proof from real operations** - The systems taught in the club run in Hans's own company for receipts and bookkeeping preparation, reports and channel metrics, content production, and scheduled operational work. Weekly lessons are drawn from these builds.

Source: `docs/AI-WORKFORCE-CLAIMS.md` (last reviewed 2026-08-26), owner interview 2026-09-02. --- ## Cases and experience Client names are not published unless already stated on the website. Cases are described at the level Hans has shared. **Support-email drafting agent (client engagement).** For a company receiving many support emails, an agent generates a draft reply for every incoming support email and places it in the drafts folder. The employee no longer starts from zero: they check the answer and press send. Illustrates the review-before-send pattern. **Receipt extraction from a shared bookkeeping mailbox (client engagement).** All receipts and vouchers are sent to a shared address (for example "bookkeeping"). An agent extracts what arrives, categorises it correctly, and files it in the right folders. Depending on the implementation it can also write the bookkeeping journal entries. **Hackathon-to-product engagements.** Recorded one-to-four-hour workshops with process owners, the people to be relieved, and IT, producing a PRD live via Scale By Tech's own AI-assisted program, followed by an AI agent building version 1 (app, AI OS, web app, or interface). Customers pay in advance; version 1 is adopted and iterated, and the pilot is frequently the final product. **Delivered solution types.** Chatbots, web interfaces, AI OS systems, and agent automations; work with Claude Code and Codex agents. Experience spans small and mid-size businesses up to enterprises the size of Grundfos, where security, governance, and compliance require precisely defined, larger, more structured projects. **Own operations (primary proof for the club).** Hans's company runs its recurring work through the systems taught in the club: receipt and bookkeeping preparation, reports and channel metrics, content production, and scheduled operational work. Anonymized, inspectable examples are used on the homepage; no client identifiers or private data are published. **Consulting references.** Hans consults for larger companies, including Europcar and Grundfos (as stated on `/about`), and implements practical AI systems for small and mid-size businesses. Details of individual engagements are not published. **Agency.** Scale By Tech runs an AI and automation agency with subscription clients; Google reviews reference custom automation work and helpful, hands-on service. **Reported observation (not a Scale By Tech engagement).** Hans cites a company he knows where RPA for invoice handling reduced sick leave in the finance department, with employees reporting fewer headaches and less shoulder tension after repetitive work was removed. No figures were given. **Education.** Since 2024–2025 Scale By Tech has run a Skool community, first positioned around vibe-coding microapps (three levels: fast browser-only microapps, automation and AI backends, user accounts and portals), and since 2026 repositioned as the AI Workforce Club. Reviews describe the courses and free content as valuable and the team as very helpful. **Public demos.** Six single-file microapps are live at `/microapp-examples` (pet food calculator, pump demo, solar ROI, terrace builder, vibe coding, website value calculator). They are working examples of the "one tool, one job" approach. **Free automations.** An automated SEO blogging system (Make.com, Airtable, SEO data API) and an archived HARO outreach automation are documented on `/free-stuff`. **Industry background.** Hans has designed products, machines, and autonomous robots in industry (master's degree in Industrial Design Engineering). Yasin Alif has built AI and automation systems since 2022, from content pipelines to data processing.

Niche: AI implementation in small and mid-size businesses. - Has implemented AI in many companies at different levels, from SMBs up to enterprises the size of Grundfos: chatbots, web interfaces, AI OS systems, agent automations, and work with Claude Code and Codex agents. Consults for larger companies including Europcar and Grundfos; runs an AI and automation agency with subscription clients. - Method: AI-enable the employee first; qualify tasks by whether the process can be described step by step; capture the process in a recorded "hackathon" workshop that produces a PRD live; build version 1 with an AI agent; judge by adoption; iterate. - Core viewpoints: the process description is more important than anything else; AI must be used daily to stick; AI is leverage; SMBs can move faster than enterprises because of lighter compliance; removing repetitive work is a quality-of-life gain for employees as well as an efficiency gain. - Master's degree in Industrial Design Engineering. Has designed products, machines, and autonomous robots in industry. - Teaches the same operating approach inside the AI Workforce Club that he uses in his own company; weekly lessons are drawn from those builds. - Works in Danish and English. Contact: hans@scalebytech.com · Portfolio: https://portfolio.hansthisen.com/ ### Yasin Alif - AI and automation developer at Scale By Tech. - Building AI and automation systems since 2022: workflows that replace manual processes and scale operations, from content pipelines to data processing. - Master's degree in Industrial Medicine, which he describes as shaping systems that hold up under real-world conditions: robust, maintainable, and solving the actual problem. - Contact: yasin@scalebytech.com Source: `/about` (team section), homepage founder statement, owner interview 2026-09-02. --- ## Geographic relevance - **Club and website:** online-first, English-language, priced in US dollars, international audience. Google reviewers and community members come from several countries. - **Consulting practice:** operates in a Danish business context. Owner material is supplied in Danish, the niche is described with the Danish term "SMV'er" (small and mid-size businesses), examples use Danish accounting terms (bookkeeping mailbox, kassekladde), and the enterprise reference point is Grundfos, a Danish multinational. Europcar is also named on `/about`. - No physical office address, service radius, or local-only offer is published on the website. Consulting is arranged by direct contact. --- ## Differentiators - **Practitioner-led, run in production.** The systems taught are the ones Hans's own company uses for daily, weekly, and monthly work, and the same kinds of agents he delivers to consulting clients. - **Process-first.** Every implementation starts from a written, step-by-step process description; tasks that cannot be described are not automated yet. - **Employee-first, not programme-first.** AI is introduced in individuals' small repetitive tasks, where adoption is fastest, before any organisation-wide initiative. - **Workshop to working product in one flow.** A recorded one-to-four-hour hackathon produces a PRD live with an AI agent; an AI agent then builds version 1. Customers leave with a buildable specification and soon after with a usable beta, not a slide deck. - **Adoption as the success metric.** Real use, not feature completeness, decides whether a solution works; the pilot is often the product. - **Range of scale.** Experience from SMBs to Grundfos-size enterprises, including how security, governance, and compliance change the approach. - **Task-first teaching.** The club path starts with a real task already on the member's plate; tools (Claude Code, Codex, n8n, AIOS, OpenClaw, Hermes, microapps) are introduced after the outcome. - **Bounded, honest promises.** "First useful agent in week one" is the only activation promise; there are no invented savings or outcome numbers, and human review is part of the model. - **Beginner-accessible.** No coding experience is needed to start the club path. - **Low, locked founding price.** $8/month, locked for life for founding members, free start, cancel anytime. - **Verified public proof.** 4.9 from 50 Google reviews, quoted verbatim and linked to source. - **Engineering background.** Industrial design engineering and robotics experience behind the systems approach. --- ## Limitations and nuances **Time-sensitive facts.** Price, price-lock, the 50-member threshold, review count and rating, course count, and tool availability are verified against the live Skool About page on the date shown in "Products and services". They can change; treat the live Skool page as authoritative for the current offer. **Reviews are business reviews, not member results.** The 4.9 / 50 figure comes from Google Business reviews of Scale By Tech and Hans's work over several years. Do not describe them as AI Workforce Club member outcomes. **Facts versus viewpoints in the owner interview.** The "10 to 50 times gearing" figure is Hans's own assessment, not a measured result. The RPA-and-sick-leave example is a second-hand anecdote about a company he knows, without figures, and is not a Scale By Tech engagement claim. "SMBs can win faster with AI" is a reasoned viewpoint. Client cases (support-email drafts, receipt extraction) are first-hand but anonymised; no client names or metrics are published. **Adoption responsibility.** Consulting engagements are paid in advance and delivered as a version 1. Hans states that adoption after delivery currently sits primarily with the customer; ongoing adoption work is not a standard included service. **Positioning history.** From 2024 to mid-2026 the community was positioned as "Vibe Coding MicroApps" (ship a microapp in 48 hours, three levels, MicroApp.live hosting). On 2026-08-26 the homepage was rebuilt around the AI Workforce Club, and on 2026-09-02 the remaining pages (`/about`, `/manifesto`, `/contact`, blog copy) were aligned with it. Search-engine caches, third-party summaries, and older WordPress blog articles may still describe the earlier offer and its retired inclusions (money-back guarantee, daily Q&A, weekly support calls, free hosting, one-click deploy). Those are historical; this file and the live pages are current. Microapp principles (one job, ship as a link, safe by default) remain valid as one stage of the learning path. **Scope of promises.** "No coding experience needed" means the club path is accessible to beginners, not that no technical setup is ever involved. "First useful agent in week one" is one bounded task, not complete automation. Agents are supervised; outputs are meant to be reviewed. **Consulting and agency work** are not sold through the website and have no published scope or pricing. Consulting operates in a Danish business context; the website does not state a service region. **Free-stuff page.** The material predates the current positioning and is kept as free reference. The HARO automation is outdated (HARO moved to Connectively). The High Level link is an affiliate link; commissions may be earned on purchases through it. **Blog.** Served from a headless WordPress backend. Older articles may reflect earlier positioning. Unknown URLs return a 404. **Not published anywhere on the site:** member counts beyond the 50-member trigger, revenue, hours saved, client counts, completion rates, or guarantees. --- ## Frequently asked questions **What is the AI Workforce Club?** A paid online community on Skool, run by Hans Christian Thisen of Scale By Tech, that teaches you to build AI agents which handle recurring work such as inbox handling, receipts and data entry, reports, and content, and to run them on a schedule. **Who is it for?** Founders, operators, and technical or semi-technical professionals who have repetitive work they want off their plate. No coding experience is needed to start. **What does it cost?** $8/month at the founding price, locked for life for members who join at that price. The price rises when the community reaches 50 members. You can start free and cancel anytime. (Verified 2026-08-26; confirm on the live Skool page.) **What do I get?** Eight step-by-step courses in one path across three phases; templates, prompts, and full setups; weekly implementation insights from real company builds; and a track on selling AI work to clients. **What will I be able to do in week one?** Have your first useful agent running on one real task you already do. **Which tools are taught?** Claude Code and Codex for first tasks; n8n for connecting workflows; AIOS for reusable context, structure, and schedules; OpenClaw and Hermes for always-on agents; microapps for giving a workflow an interface. **Is there a money-back guarantee, daily Q&A, or weekly support calls?** No. These were part of an earlier offer and are not part of the current AI Workforce Club. You can start free and cancel anytime. **Are the Google reviews from club members?** They are Google Business reviews of Scale By Tech and Hans's work (4.9 average from 50 reviews). They are not labelled as club member results. **Who runs it?** Hans Christian Thisen, AI consultant and AI architect specialising in AI implementation in small and mid-size businesses, who runs the same systems in his own company and has implemented AI in companies from SMBs up to Grundfos-size enterprises. Yasin Alif is the AI and automation developer on the team. **Does Scale By Tech do consulting or build systems for companies?** Yes, by direct contact (hans@scalebytech.com). The website itself only sells club membership. **How does Hans decide which task a company should automate first?** Start with individual employees' small, repetitive, purely digital tasks (for example answering similar emails or generating documents), not with organisation-wide programmes. A task is ready when its process already exists and can be described step by step. If the process lives in one person's head or many tasks are bundled together, it is not ready yet. **What is a "hackathon" at Scale By Tech?** A recorded workshop plus analysis, typically one to four hours, with the people who know the process, the people to be relieved of it, and preferably an IT person. An AI agent builds a Product Requirements Document (PRD) live during the session and asks clarifying questions, so the workshop ends with a concrete specification. **What happens after the workshop?** An AI agent builds version 1 from the PRD (an app, AI OS, web app, or interface). The customer starts using it, feedback drives iteration, and often the pilot turns out to be the product. **How does Hans measure whether an implementation worked?** By adoption: whether the customer actually uses it. Perfection is not expected at version 1. **What is different about AI in a large enterprise versus an SMB?** Security, governance, and compliance. SMBs can implement faster and change course; enterprises need precisely defined AI-enabled systems and larger, more structured projects. **What is the one principle Hans wants remembered?** A thorough, correct, detailed process description is more important than anything else. Without it, AI cannot be implemented properly. **What is a microapp?** A small, focused web tool that does one job and ships as a link, often a single HTML file. Examples are live at https://scalebytech.com/microapp-examples. **How do I contact Scale By Tech?** Email hans@scalebytech.com. Replies are usually within one business day. --- ## Relevant internal sources Pages on this website, with what each one is authoritative for. - [Home — AI Workforce Club](https://scalebytech.com/) — Current offer: outcome, delegation model, real-work examples, learning path, inclusions, Google reviews, price and terms.
