Why pay when I already have ChatGPT?
Bring the attempt that stalled. We’ll compare it with the result you need, question the approach and check a revised answer together. If you can already get a useful result yourself, you may not need a session.
One-to-one AI help
Still arguing with ChatGPT?
Show me the task. We’ll work through it together, with something useful to try next.
Tell me where you’re stuckOne 60-minute remote session, fixed price
Includes up to 15 minutes of preparation and follow-up notes. The price is confirmed before you book, and I check that your task fits first. No payment is taken on this page.
Sound familiar?
You’ve explained it three different ways. The answer still isn’t useful.
Bring the result you wanted, what you tried, and where the AI went off track. We can work on a prompt, a document, or a practical task in ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot.
What’s included in the agreed scope
- Work through one agreed task over a remote call.
- See how to give context and check the answer.
- Leave with follow-up notes and a next step.
Who it suits
A good fit, and the limits.
A task you can show on a call. If you need an app repaired or a larger system built, I’ll flag that before you book.
What this does not promise
- No guaranteed fix. A session can end with a clear diagnosis and a next step rather than a solved problem; I’ll say what we established and what a separate scope would mean.
- Not an emergency or unlimited helpdesk. App repairs, builds and coding lessons have their own scope and price.
- Your AI tool subscriptions and any private data handling are not included; start with a redacted example.
No surprise booking
What happens after you enquire.
- 01
Tell me the situation.
Your email and a few sentences are enough to start. No files or account access needed.
- 02
I’ll check the fit.
I’ll reply by email about the task, scope and price. If it isn’t a fit, I’ll say so.
- 03
Decide whether to go ahead.
We arrange the work only after agreeing what is included. Sending this form does not book or charge you.

The same rules on every job
How I work.
- One agreed scope, in writing, before work starts.
- Reproduce first. A finding I cannot reproduce is an opinion, and I label it as one.
- I say what I did not check. A passing screen does not prove the data was saved.
- No credentials in messages. We agree the minimum access needed.
- I use AI tools in my own work where they help, and I check their output the same way I check anything else.
Who you’ll work with
I’m Calvin.
I’m a software developer based in Newcastle, Australia. You’ll work with me directly. Newcastle, the Central Coast and Sydney, and remote everywhere.
Start with your task. I’ll check whether it fits my experience and explain the scope before you decide to go ahead.
Check whether my task fitsWork you can inspect
Open-source tools I built and maintain for working with AI coding agents. Public repositories you can read before you decide whether I know this well enough to help.
- skill-harness 15
Installer and agent harness for a suite of skill packs across Claude and Codex.
- frontier-agent-playbook 7
Doctrine and skills for getting reliable work out of frontier agents.
- prompt-language 4
A runtime for Claude Code with persistent state, control flow and verification.
These are my own open-source projects, not client work, and I am not claiming they have a user base. They are MIT licensed and documented so you can read the code and judge the standard of it before you trust me with yours. There are 57 more in the open.
Worked example · AI support
A proposal you can check against your notes.
Suppose AI keeps inventing details in a proposal. Here is the kind of task we could work through together.
- Bring
Your redacted notes, the draft, and one example of what the proposal needs to say.
- Work through
Separate agreed facts from missing details. Ask for a draft that leaves unknown dates or prices for you to confirm.
- Check
Compare each promise with the notes. Mark unsupported details before you use the draft.
Illustrative session, not a customer result. We agree your actual task and what can reasonably fit before booking.
What the follow-up notes could contain
The context that helped, the checks to repeat, details still needing your input and a next attempt. The aim is a method you can use again.
The practical details
Scope, preparation and next steps.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. Tell me which tool you use and what you want it to do. We’ll start from there.
What does the session fee cover?
One 60-minute remote session on an agreed task, up to 15 minutes of preparation, and follow-up notes. It does not include building an app, ongoing support or your AI tool subscriptions.
Why pay when I could keep asking ChatGPT?
You can. This session is for when you want another person to look at the task with you, question the approach and help you check the result.
What should I bring?
A short description, an example of the result you want, and what you have tried. Use a redacted example if the task involves private work.
Can you work with confidential information?
Start with a description without private data. Do not send passwords, API keys, customer records or confidential documents in the enquiry. We’ll agree what access is appropriate before any work.
What if it isn’t something you can help with?
I’ll say so after reviewing the enquiry. A session is only arranged after we agree the task and scope; a particular AI result is not guaranteed.
Tell me where you’re stuck.
You don’t need a polished brief.
