Announcing FM Labs

From 631 Clicks a Day to Under 100

One operator was clicking 631 times a day to get through their work. Today it's under 100.

That's an 84% reduction, and it came out of an engagement FM ran for a client. The software was custom. The thinking behind it wasn't. How to spot the repetitive work. How to hand the mechanical part to an agent. How to keep a person in the loop where judgment actually matters. That part is teachable, and we have been teaching it.

Today we're making it official. FM Labs is live.

What FM Labs Is

FM Labs teaches individuals how to use AI in their own work.

One person, one real problem, one working tool at the end of it. Ryan, an early-stage founder who came through a session, built an image recognition workflow for his daily inventory count. It used to take three hours. It now takes five minutes.

That's the product. Not a certification. Not a theory dump. Not a webinar you half-watch while clearing your inbox. You bring a problem from your actual job, and you leave with something that runs.

Six Months, A Thousand People

I've been running these sessions in the open for six months. Where it stands:

• 120+ sessions, all free
• 1,000+ attendees
• 110+ automations built by attendees, in the room

Sessions run every week in Peachtree City. Beginners on Wednesdays, more advanced builders on Fridays. One hour, hands-on the whole way, capped at 25 people so it stays a workshop instead of turning into a webinar.

Why It's Free

Because we already did the work, and somebody else already paid for it.

FM builds custom software and AI agents for businesses. Every engagement teaches us something specific: which patterns hold up under real volume, which ones quietly fall apart, where an agent can be trusted to run unattended, and where a human has to stay in the loop or the whole thing goes sideways.

That knowledge has been tested against real money and real consequences. Publishing it costs us very little. It's worth a great deal to somebody trying to work it out alone on a Saturday.

So the workshops are free, and the material in them is not watered down. It's the same thinking we bring to paid client work, vetted by businesses, handed to whoever shows up.

The Library

The workshops aren't the only free thing.

FM Labs publishes prompt frameworks, tool breakdowns, and walkthroughs for applying AI to specific business problems. Same source, same standard: written by people who do this work for paying clients every week.

You don't have to wait for a Wednesday. Browse the library and start today.

Where Labs Ends and FM Begins

This line matters, so I want to be plain about it.

FM Labs is for individuals. A founder, an owner, a manager, a team lead, anybody who wants to be better at this. The engagement is with you and the work in front of you.

FM is for companies. If you want your whole team trained, your operations rebuilt, or custom software that becomes part of how your business runs, that is a different problem and it needs a different engagement. That's FM.

Going Deeper Than a Workshop

For people who want more than the free hour, we work one on one.

Since late April, five business owners have gone through it. Each is getting back three to four hours a week. Small numbers, deliberately. We would rather report five people we actually measured than a number we projected.

At company scale the ceiling looks different. Through agent-operated leadership work, we returned 52 hours a month to ProCivica. That's what an organization gets when it commits.

Three to four hours a week is what one person can start reclaiming now, without a budget cycle or anybody's approval.

Why We Do This In Person

The numbers are the easy part to write down. The part I care about is harder to count.

We ran a day of training with the team at Trilith Studios, and we did the same with GSU Perimeter College. Two very different rooms. The same thing happened in both. People walk in braced for a lecture about the technology that's coming for their job, then somewhere in the middle they build something that actually works, and you can watch the room change its mind. AI stops being a threat and turns into a tool they own.

That shift is hard to manufacture over video. It needs a room, and somebody sitting next to you when the thing breaks on the first try. It's why sessions are capped at 25 and why we've kept them free.

We've also been hitting that cap, which is a good problem to have. Online courses are coming so more people can get to the material, though I'll say plainly that the room is still the best version of this.

Where FM Labs goes next depends mostly on who shows up. That's how the last six months went, and it worked out better than I expected.
