THE PROBLEM ↘

Tools are easy to get.
Building takes practice.

Your team may already be experimenting with AI, but knowing what to use and where to start can be difficult. Guided practice helps people move past the intimidation, try useful ideas within agreed boundaries, and share what works.

THE PROCESS 02 / 07

From a real workflow
to a working prototype.

Two kickoff workshops, three weekly support calls, and a final demo day. Bring your everyday work; leave room to explore between sessions.

Week 1: explore what’s possible

The first two-hour workshop introduces your approved tools and practical examples. Ask basic questions, try things out, and get comfortable with what AI can help you do.

Week 1: pick a problem and build

In a second two-hour workshop, brainstorm useful workflows and start a prototype, on your own or in a small group. Begin with a manageable task: a department recap, inbox triage, or recurring reporting.

Weeks 2–4: build with support

Explore and build between sessions. Three weekly group calls give you space to share progress, understand problems, and work through blockers with RaidGuild mentors and each other.

Finish with a demo day

A separate final session celebrates the work. Show your prototype, share what you learned, and capture what’s useful and what to try next. Unfinished experiments are welcome too.

WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY 03 / 07

More than a demo.
A way to keep building.

Make something useful and make it understandable. Your team leaves with prototypes, practiced skills, and experiments that others can learn from and build on.

01 / 03

Working prototypes

Small, testable tools for daily work, whether they help one person or could be useful across a team.

02 / 03

Practiced skills

Experience choosing a useful problem, building with approved tools, evaluating the result, and explaining how it works.

03 / 03

A shared playbook

A record of what each prototype does, the tools and data it uses, who it could help, and the next steps.

WHERE THE FORMAT COMES FROM 04 / 07

Built in our
own community.

This format grows out of RaidGuild’s own community cohorts: learn new tools, build a project, and share what you discover. In October 2026, Arcade Alchemy participants built six playable games. This pilot brings that shared-building approach to your team’s workflows.

WHO RUNS IT 05 / 07

Guided by people
who build.

Dekan is a RaidGuild core contributor and summoner with more than 20 years of experience building products. RaidGuild brings builders together to turn practical ideas into working software.

A lead host guides the month, with a second RaidGuild mentor joining selected sessions. We help people get started, work through questions, and learn from each other.

PILOT FORMAT 06 / 07

One month.
A useful place to start.

THE GROUP4–8 participants

THE MONTHSix guided sessions

STARTING PRICE$5,000 per team

Includes preparation, two two-hour workshops in week one, three weekly support calls, and a separate demo day at the end of week four. Allow time to explore and build between sessions.

Remote by default; in person where it makes sense. We agree on call lengths and the schedule up front. Extra sessions, travel, and production development are scoped separately.

THE DETAILS 07 / 07

Before we
get started.

We begin with a consultation with your team lead: what tools, assistants, and data connections people already use, what’s available, and what’s allowed. Together, we identify promising workflows and prepare the workshops so participants can start building quickly.

START A CONVERSATION ↗

Let’s find the right
thing to build.

Tell us who would take part and what their day-to-day work looks like. A rough idea is enough; we’ll explore useful starting points together on an intro call.
