I got caught up in the "second brain" hype but Brad quickly made me realise it's less about shoehorning someone else's system, and more about understanding what I'm trying to accomplish before building systems around that. I'm now building something that works for me instead of forcing something that would ultimately fail.

Jon B.
CMO, AgentAi

This is a well thought out and planned system. I have been using VS Code and Claude Code, I thought successfully. Brad provides the most powerful system and skills I have seen to get started on the right path to be more efficient and successful. Bravo Brad!

John G.
Founder, Cache Bench

I've followed a lot of people teaching AI, but Brad stands out because he makes complicated things feel practical and achievable. There's no unnecessary hype. I've taken ideas from his content and put them directly into my own AI workflows and business projects. You don't just finish thinking "that was interesting", you finish wanting to go and build something.

Alan H.
Founder, Bronte AI

Almost everyone watches the video. Almost nobody gets it operating.

Builders,

you've watched hundreds of videos, downloaded countless skills and spent months trying to piece together your own AI setup.

but every expert shows you a different "right" way to do it, and every video is more hyped than the last.

so now you're scattered between obsidian, notion, markdown files, chats, projects and half-built workflows. and instead of saving time, you're spending hours obsessing over the perfect setup and watching videos about the latest "game changer" tool.

you're not behind.

and you don't need another AI tool.

you need an operating system.

so let's build it.

Context that never sticks

Every new chat starts from zero, so you re-explain your business, your offers and your customers for the hundredth time.

Work that lives everywhere

Drive, Notion, transcripts, a folder structure that made sense two years ago. Half your day is hunting for the thing you already had.

A setup you keep rebuilding

Every video shows a new "right" structure, so you tear it down and start again instead of running your business from it.

See it in action.

The operators pulling ahead right now aren't smarter and they don't have better tools. They stopped rebuilding their setup and started working from it.

One live build. Everything you need to keep running it.

Who's running the build

I'm Brad Bonanno. I've spent years building integrations, automations and go-to-market systems for companies like Ramp, Fivetran and Humanforce.

I created this Buildshop so you can skip the months of trial and error and install the foundation properly the first time.

Who this is for (and who it isn't).

This is for you if

  • You're a founder, consultant or operator doing everything yourself, and you know your output should be 10x what it is
  • You've tried ChatGPT Work, Claude Cowork, maybe a half-installed setup from a YouTube tutorial, but it's patchwork
  • You want the simplest, most direct path to becoming an AI-augmented operator, built live with someone who works this way every day

This isn't for you if

  • You're looking for OpenClaw or Hermes Agent. This is not that.
  • You want a complicated, impressive-looking setup that doesn't work
  • You only open Claude occasionally to ask isolated questions

FounderOS™ adapts to your business. You will not be copying my exact folders. You'll use a framework to build a workspace around your own projects, responsibilities, customers, research and operations. A nonprofit founder, a coach, a practitioner and a solo consultant all end up with different structures solving the same problem.

And what the operators I've built for say.

Brad has one of those rare minds that cuts through complexity immediately. He turns that clarity into automation that actually drives outcomes. Not bells and whistles. Genuinely useful impact.

Kate C.
Global Director Customer Experience, HealthCare Logic

Working with Brad is like having a trusted mechanic for your business systems. He delivered exactly what he promised.

Andros W.
Director, Building Express

Brad is clearly very knowledgeable in AI. His insights were candid and driven by real hands-on experience. Our conversation saved me time by steering me away from a dead end.

Kilian
Writer, kilian.blog

I applied his advice on LinkedIn lead gen and used his Claude skills. We're seeing an improvement. I use the skills that he made and shared daily.

Win N.
Head of Growth, Agency Acquisitions

Brad is a top-tier operator: sharp, curious, and relentlessly focused on solving the right problems. He understands the human side of systems: what to automate, when to keep people in the loop. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again.

Scott B.
Co-Founder, Sapiant

Brad is the ultimate partner to work with: in designing solid solutions, balancing technical elegance with practical execution, and timely communication. Would recommend him for any project!

Sanil S.
Solutions Consultant, Ramp

Brad saved me hours of work each week. This time saved provides a significant return on the investment made in him.

Tony G.
Founder, INDEXED

Brad's content cuts through the noise around AI and automation. What stood out most was his willingness to jump on a call and walk through my specific use case. That's rare.

Spencer S.
Chief of Staff, Small Business Owner

Bradley brought structure and focus to what had been a very open-ended AI discussion. He helped us pinpoint where AI could create meaningful impact, while filtering out low-value ideas. The result was a clear, prioritised roadmap grounded in ROI.

Derek T.
Co-Founder, Amos IE

Brad turned our chaotic growth spurt into a smooth ride by streamlining workflows and freeing our team to focus on customers.

James M.
Founder, Crown Kickboxing

We are very pleased with the outcomes to date and will continue working with Brad to identify new initiatives across our network.

Mark G.
Director, Select Franchising

That Claude video repo that you made saves me hours.

James S.
Advertiser, Crack Ads On Social Media

I've got a lot of trust in Brad. Generous with his time, able to give clear explanations to ordinarily complex ideas. Cheers Brad, I'm a fan!

FAQ

Questions, answered.

I already set up your VS Code profile from YouTube. How is this different?
The video showed you how to set the VS Code + Claude Code system up. The Buildshop is about actually shaping it around your business and getting it running your ops. I've had 30 to 40 calls with people struggling with exactly that second part, installed but not operating, so that's the purpose of the workshop: design your OS and start using it in 90 minutes. You'll also get my /founderOS install skill, which I haven't shared publicly, and we'll go deeper on context management and connectors than the video did.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. This is built for founders, consultants and operators doing non-coding business work. You don't need to understand VS Code before joining, and you don't need to be comfortable in the terminal. I'll walk you through everything live.
Do I need another Claude subscription?
No. Claude Code is included with any paid Claude plan. That's the only requirement.
Is this one of those AI OS dashboards?
No. I don't see the appeal of putting another dashboard on top of Claude Code. A dashboard looks nice, but it creates another layer between you and your work. FounderOS™ keeps the actual files at the centre: you can see the folders, open the files, and understand exactly what's happening under the hood.
Is this only for consultants and content creators?
No. Those are the examples you see because that's how my business works. You won't be copying my setup, you'll use the framework to build an operating system around yours. A nonprofit founder, a coach, a practitioner and a solo founder will all end up with different structures solving the same problem: scattered context, and a Claude that keeps making you start over.
Can I access this on mobile or on the go?
Yes. With this setup you can use remote access in Claude Code to hand off to a remote session from your phone. I use it all the time.
What if I can't attend live?
The full recording, the /founderOS installation skill and the bonuses go to everyone afterwards, so you can attend live or catch the replay.
What will I actually leave with?
By the end of the session you'll have: VS Code configured as a clean AI workspace, Claude Code working across your live files, a FounderOS™ structure shaped around your work, context files that tell Claude who you are and how you operate, my /founderOS installation skill, and the full recording.

Still got a question? Email brad@solarisautomation.io

Ready to build?

You don't need more AI news, more prompts or another half-built second brain.

You need one system that knows your business and gives every future skill, workflow and automation somewhere reliable to live.

If you're ready to stop working on your AI setup and start working from it, let's build it together.
