Production numbers, supplier chasing, dues reminders: an AI worker does them by the rules, and you approve.
An AI worker means an AI assistant set up for your job, with rules for how it works. Not hiring a person, and not a worker that appears in one click. Seven levels in three months, hands-on in your own work.

The cost of waiting
A worked example: if one of these fits your business, what does a year of waiting cost?
One worked example, per day
≈ ৳2,740
One worked example, per year
≈ ৳10 lakh
365 days
The twelve examples come from twelve kinds of business; added up they make ৳1.2 crore, but that is nobody’s own figure. The numbers are assumed, not a promise of income. Every example is open below: put in your own numbers.

Beyond the classes
Learning stops when the classes end, unless someone stays beside you. So four things come with the classes.
100+ founders in one group. Build together, become each other's customers, find partners. Nobody from outside gets in.
Stuck anywhere? Write it in the group. It sees where you are and tells you the next step right away. It does not stop when the classes end.
They run after the 12 main classes. Bring whatever problem you have and solve it in the session.
Step by step, for your work and your level, in one book.
After you apply, your plan shows what each of these would cost on its own.

Questions
The ERP keeps the numbers; an agent reads them, tells you, sends reminders, builds reports. You don’t replace the ERP; you connect to it.
You, at least for the classes: which jobs an agent does and where approval is needed is a rule only you can set. A manager alongside is good; that is discussed on the 15-minute call.
Yes. Nobody teaches you to write code here; you learn to explain work to AI and to check what it did. If you get stuck there are the weeknight sessions, Sunday office hours and the three days in Cox’s Bazar.
About 10 hours: the two-hour Friday class, one weeknight small-group session, and the rest hands-on in your own business. Class ends at 12:30 pm, before Jumma.
Submit the assessment and you see the full fee with your plan; instalments are available, and so is a company invoice. If you can give fewer than 8 hours a week, we say so plainly: not now. On top of that, AI tools, a domain and ads come to roughly ৳25,000 to ৳45,000 over three months, all in your own accounts. Some tools bill in dollars, so you need a dollar card.
Not an application alone. Places are counted in the order booking money arrives: whoever books first comes first. The first 30 get every Learning Bangladesh recorded course and every Shehzin ebook; numbers 31 to 50 get every recorded course. Both cover everything there now and everything still to come, for life.
The camp is at a five-star hotel in Cox’s Bazar. Which three days in December and the cost of stay are not final yet. Applicants hear first once they are, early enough to take leave. Meals at Day Zero and the showcase are included.
In class three you set the rule for what AI may and may not see. Agents are never left to decide alone on money, customer data or deleting anything; you approve.
Recordings arrive within 24 hours. Every Friday class is online. Day Zero is at Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden and the showcase at Pan Pacific Sonargaon; both in person; outside Dhaka, block the two days early.
No. They are worked examples, not a promise of income. The cost of waiting is the same twelve examples, divided by 365. Each class shows its arithmetic; put in your own business’s numbers and see what it comes to for you.
