Learn to assemble Claude
into a working setup * for your work.

Anthropic teaches you Claude. The Maxy Institute teaches you how to assemble it. Max 20X, Cowork, Projects, Design, MCP, fitted around the way you actually work. Foundations first, then assembly, then your own setup. You leave with a working operating system you own and maintain.

§ 01   The bridge
Why this exists

The Tan/Karpathy moment, for operators.

Garry Tan and Andrej Karpathy showed in April 2026 that personal AI memory works. Both shipped reference implementations within a single month. Both require you to be a developer.

Most knowledge workers are not developers. They have practices to run, businesses to manage, clients to look after, books to write, students to teach, decisions to make.

They have heard about what Tan and Karpathy did. They cannot reproduce it on their own.

The Maxy Institute is the bridge. We teach you what they did, in operator-language, with concrete patterns that fit the way knowledge work actually happens. You leave with a working setup you own and maintain.

§ 02   The curriculum
Five things, in order

Foundations, assembly, your own setup.

The Institute teaches Claude from the ground up. Foundations first (what Claude is, how to talk to it, what each Anthropic product does, when to reach for which one). Then assembly (how those pieces fit together for your work). Then your own setup (your archives, your voice, your workflows).

One place, one curriculum, one teacher. You leave the Institute with everything you need; you do not need to also study Claude separately.

01
Foundations
The assembly.
How to use Claude Max 20X, Cowork, Projects, Design, and MCP as a working stack. Which tool does what. When to reach for which one. How they fit together. How to live inside this stack daily without the seams showing. Foundation-level fluency for non-developers - no command line required.
02
Bring your archives in
The ingestion.
How to bring your own archives into Claude - LinkedIn export, Substack subscribers, email (IMAP), calendar (CalDAV), WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram. Where to put files. How to keep them current. Which signals matter and which are noise. How to write the import scripts you need, or wire MCP servers when you do not want to write them yourself.
03
Encode your judgement
The opinions.
How to write durable instructions that Claude follows session after session. How to encode your voice, your standards, your judgement. How to build a Project that knows how you work without you re-explaining it every conversation. How to debug when Claude drifts.
04
Ask better questions
The queries.
How to ask the questions that answer the questions you actually have about your work. "Which clients have I not heard from in 90 days but said something important last time we spoke." "Which of my Substack subscribers also appears in my LinkedIn graph." "Which of my open quotes have not been chased in two weeks." We teach you the patterns; you write the queries that fit your work.
05
Keep it current
The maintenance.
How to keep the setup current. Nightly graph hygiene. Monthly archive refresh. Quarterly review of what is working and what is not. The discipline of owning your own system instead of renting one.
§ 03   The formats
Workshops only - pick what fits

Live, scheduled, hands-on.

Format 01 · In-person

In a room.

Run in London · small cohorts · full day

Live sessions, mix of demonstration, hands-on building, and Q&A. Focused on a specific topic from the curriculum. You leave with a working setup and the cohort relationship that comes from a day in a room with other operators wrestling with the same problems.

  • "Build your private operating system in a weekend"
  • "Workflows that survive Sunday evening"
  • Cohort sized to keep the teaching hands-on
  • Lunch and a notebook included
Format 02 · Video

At your own desk.

Live on Zoom · same cohort sizes · recorded

Same curriculum as in-person, same cohort sizes, same hands-on approach - designed for operators outside London or who prefer to learn from their own desk. Recorded for cohort review afterwards.

  • Live and scheduled, not self-paced
  • Same teacher, same exercises, same pace
  • Cohort review recording for two weeks
  • Lower end of the price range
Real teaching, in real time, with other operators in the room.
No self-paced courses. No written guides. No video library to scroll through.
§ 04   The outcome
What you leave with

A working setup you own.

You do not need Maxy Pro afterwards. Most graduates do not become Maxy Pro customers - by design. The Institute is real education for operators who want full control, not a sales funnel for the substrate product.

Some graduates upgrade later when they decide they want the outcome without the maintenance burden. The conversion path matters, but it is not the headline.

01
Claude Max 20X configured for your work.
02
Projects with durable instructions and your imported archives.
03
Claude Design set up with your own visual style.
04
A workflow library you have written, tested, and own.
05
The skills to extend it as your practice changes.
06
The judgement to debug when something stops working.
§ 05   The student
Who the Institute is for

Knowledge workers running their own book.

Anyone whose output is a function of their own thinking. Consultants, solicitors, accountants, architects, estate agents, executive recruiters, financial advisors, talent agents, founders, writers, researchers, analysts, operators of small businesses, independent professionals.

The Institute is for technically curious knowledge workers who want full control of their setup and would rather invest the learning time than pay for the assembled product.

Consultants
Run a practice.
Solicitors
Carry a caseload.
Architects
Manage clients and sites.
Estate agents
Work a patch.
Recruiters
Hold a network.
Founders
Build a company.
Writers
Tend an audience.
Analysts
Make calls.
Marker 01
Already pays for Claude Max 20X.
Or willing to. The USD $200/month Claude Max 20X subscription is the qualifier across every Maxy product, paid directly to Anthropic. If that is not somewhere you want to be, the Institute is not for you - and we will say so plainly.
Marker 02
Willing to learn by doing.
You do not need to be a developer. You do not need prior Claude experience either - we teach the foundations. You do need to be willing to sit through a workshop, follow patterns hands-on, and put time into your own setup afterwards. The Institute is the start; the practice that follows is yours.
§ 06   The honest comparison
Why not just Anthropic Academy?

Anthropic teaches Claude.
We teach the assembly.

Fair question. Anthropic Academy is excellent. It is also general - Claude 101 teaches you Claude as a chat product, Claude for Personal teaches task automation, Claude for Work teaches organisational deployment. Each course is well-made.

None of those teaches you how to assemble Claude into an operating system for the way you specifically work, because that is not Anthropic’s job.

Anthropic Academy

General fluency with Claude.

Excellent introductions to Claude as a chat product, task automation, and organisational deployment. The right place to learn Claude itself.

  • Claude 101
  • Claude for Personal
  • Claude for Work
  • Claude Code · Build with Claude
Maxy Institute

Foundations + assembly, in one curriculum.

Foundations (what each Anthropic product does, when to reach for which one) and assembly (how to bring archives in, how to write durable instructions for the way you work, how to build the queries you actually need).

  • One place, one teacher, one cohort
  • Foundation-level fluency is enough
  • For knowledge workers, not developers
  • Operators who want more can go to Anthropic Academy after
§ 07   The pricing
Per cohort · set on enquiry

Pricing.

Per cohort.
Set on enquiry.

In-person workshops are typically £400 to £1,200 per seat depending on duration and depth. Video workshops sit at the lower end of that range. Cohort sizes are kept small so the teaching stays hands-on.

Email maxy@rubytech.llc to discuss which workshop fits and when the next cohort runs.
