Not a pitch. One real business needed its owner's time back. Five months of building followed: the Dojo where my AI ninjas work. I build the same for your business, and either you run it yourself or I run it with you. See yourself in it? The quiz at the end says where I would start.
Rick Tew, AI version
Good. That is who I build for. You press one button and I think about the rest: the tech, the AI, which model is best this month, the thing that broke at 2am. None of it is yours to carry.
Your website or small app, with the forms that bring work in. Built, hosted and kept running by me. Nothing for you to log into. For a lot of small businesses, this is all the system they ever needed.
I want this TewAll of that, plus your admin handled as a service. I manage the AI ninjas that draft every reply and file every payment. Your team checks it and presses send. Any number of people. The AI is in the price.
I want this TewYour team presses every send. Want the whole day run for you? That is a custom price, and we talk first.
Five words carry this page. A Dojo is the setup I build for one business. A ninja is one AI worker in it, doing one job. A seat is a job a few ninjas fill together, like marketing or the books. A belt is how much a ninja has proven, white to black. The sensei is me.
Most of what is on this page opens and runs: the app that runs my gym, a game on the Apple App Store, the sites in the row below. Some save time, some I wanted to exist, a few were fun. Five months. Scroll and look. Reading is not required.
People claiming to be multi-millionaires, even billionaires, or super marketing experts. The four below are made up, and you have seen every one of them anyway.
Five free sessions on YouTube, and on the second day a program for $1,995, or from about $166 a month on finance, with two $25 add-ons at the checkout and a $995 offer after it. The host said on day one that the paid offer is what pays for the free week. That is allowed. It is also worth knowing before you hand over a WhatsApp number for a workbook.
What the week taught can be done with what you already have: one person with one problem, the answer written from public sources with the references, a short guide, put where those people already gather. The gathering place is small Instagram creators with no product, found by hand; their way of reaching them is a $597 a month cold-email platform. The finale built nothing on screen, and the price never moved. I do not sell a course for any of this. If you run a business and would rather have the work built, the twelve questions further down say what that would be, and they do not ask for your email.
They saw an opportunity, and it is not your problem they want to solve.
It reminds me of the old seminar speakers who never built anything, taught you how to make money, and ironically the teaching is what made them the money.
The one reason: I wanted my evenings back. If that is your reason too, this page is for you. Every date below comes from the project history, in the order it happened.
I run NinjaGym on Koh Samui: martial arts for kids, seven days a week. It grew fast, and the admin grew with it. Bookings, memberships, belts, birthday parties, questions, payments. All of it landed on me.
I am a Ninja Nerd. I like learning AI and building with it. Most owners do not, and never will. That is the deal: I geek out on the machine, you get your evenings back.
One app now keeps every booking, belt, payment and member in order, on auto, while I teach.
It started as a little web page, enough to prove the idea. It worked, so I got serious: a real app with a database behind it, installable on a phone, check-ins, memberships. 685 rounds of changes later, it runs the gym.
Home, events and the shop, as they look on ninjagym.com today.
The flyers, the proposals, the blue ninja mascot the kids love: made with AI. So are the songs the gym plays all day, through a player I built and run from my phone.
Then the till. The POS I bought charged $5 per staff member per month just so they could ring up a sale under their own name. So I built my own: PINs, named sales, inventory, the books. A monthly fee became a system I own.
In my twenties I wrote small books for my students: a five book system, a memory method (Tew's Total Recall) and a vocabulary story (The Adroit Swordsman). They sat unfinished for twenty years because finishing them was a full-time job I did not have. In April they started becoming finished things: real books, then working apps.
Mine was a board game I drew on paper as a kid. It is being built for real now, under my TewBit Games brand, with the rest. Most I made for me. The pixel look was a choice, I built the characters myself, and I learned more than one way to make a game. One made the App Store. The rest are in beta, which means not finished.
Games are harder, not impossible; apps and websites show results on day one. I share this because it is what I love to do. You might not love this kind of work, and I can do it for you too. Bring yours either way.
Captures from my phone: three boards, each with its own music, made by me.
On the Apple App Store. Five in a row, two to capture.
One screen runs my working life, from my phone, my iPad or the couch. Every business, every build, every AI worker, in one place. Of everything I have built, this is the one I use most. Tap the buttons; they are real.
"Is everything running?" answered straight, including "no".
Every project is a card. Drop an idea in, watch it get built.
The daily work that gets done because the builds exist.
Type a mission, press GO, read what came back.
News scouted against my projects, not an algorithm's guess.
Flights, routes and rules researched while I sleep.
The five book system I teach became an app: one idea a day, practice it, prove it, build a streak. The full ACE method is free forever inside it.
WinJitsu's core rule runs this page too: your winning method must be your truth. If building with AI is not your truth, do not fake it. Borrow mine.
The books are finished. The app is live at winjitsu.com in its old clothes; this screen is its new look.
One friend wanted his team taught. Six-plus hours in, the request changed to "could you just do it for us?" Now his support desk drafts a reply to every customer mail and a person presses send. Another had run a factory on paper since 1998; front office and back, it became one system. A third wanted his members turned into authors, with an AI coach that asks questions but never writes for them.
Those requests are why this page exists. You do not have time to learn this, and you should not have to. I call it AI to HI: I run the AI, you get your time back for Human Interaction. The handshakes, the classes, the customers. The rest of this page is what that looks like for you.
The people stay unnamed on purpose.
Some for a business, some for a friend's, some for fun: games, a spa, a hostel, a gym, a console and a method.
Take SabaiSen, my spa app, as the example.
A customer opens it and sees treatments, prices and a booking button. If that were all it was, you could fairly say: my customers would rather call, we can do this by hand.
None of that is a website feature. It is the engine underneath, and it records, checks and adds up on its own while you work the room.
Even when every booking still comes by phone, it lands in the engine instead of a notebook: searchable, invoiced, in the books, in the bird's-eye view. The front is for your customers. The engine is for you.
Slow, done twice when it goes wrong, and no record, so nobody can compare this March to last. Worst of all, you are the system, and the business cannot run a day without you.
Once the engine exists, a second location is a copy of it, live on day one. By hand, a second shop doubles the chaos.
The website is the ten percent above the water. Buy only that and you bought a brochure. The engine underneath is where the time comes back, and running it is my job, not yours.
I learned this long before AI, teaching a memory method. Most students did not want the method. They had a hundred facts to hold for Friday's test and wanted someone who knew the method to hand them over in the shape that sticks.
Software is the same. You want the reply drafted, the invoice filed, the booking recorded, the evening back. Everything on this page exists so I can hand you that.
You want to learn to build with AI yourself.
I teach it hands on, on your own business, until you can run it without me. Rare, and I like it when it happens.
You want the job done.
I build your Dojo, train the ninjas on your own work, and hand you the outcome.
Most businesses that say they use AI mean this: a few people type into a chat box, each their own way, and what they work out stays in their heads. It helps a bit. The business owns none of it.
Everyone has their own trick, and nobody can see any of them.
One way of working, written down once, and every worker has it.
A dojo has always worked this way. Nobody trains a private form in the corner. The school trains one form, the sensei sharpens it, and the whole school gets sharper that week.
Your business, same thing: your best way of doing a job gets written down, handed to every AI worker, and owned by you.
I run my own shop this way first. Everything my ninjas know sits in one place. Sharpen one and they all get sharper the same day. A mistake I catch on one build becomes a rule the next build starts with, yours included.
I am Rick Tew: 25 years a martial arts sensei, about as many a nerd. Since March I have built the AI workforce that runs my own businesses. Now I build and train one for yours.
Replies drafted while you sleep, payments that file themselves, bookings with no back and forth. Each one hands you hours back. Each works alone or as part of the whole. You never need to like computers. I only build for you what I already run. These are the parts I build with. The audit decides which ones your business gets, and I manage them. See one you want? Tap the ninja.
An AI reads every support mail, day and night, and drafts the reply from your own written answers. You read, you press send. Runs in my business today.
I want this Tew"Money received" mails file themselves and match against what is owed. One press confirms and writes the books. No more "did that payment come in?"
I want this TewPeople book you without an account or email ping-pong. Reminders, reschedules and cancels handle themselves. It ran my gym while I taught the classes.
I want this TewAI workers with their own mailboxes. Ask the numbers desk a question from your phone; the answer comes back by mail. None of them touch money or the outside world. Mine work this way today.
I want this TewA brief goes in, three drafts come out in your voice. Only the one you approve goes out, and the day's numbers land in one glance. Live in daily use.
I want this TewIt works out what your ads must deliver, drafts the copy for your approval, and never spends a cent itself. You hold the wallet.
I want this TewA guided workbook, an editorial pipeline, and an AI coach that asks better questions but never writes for the author. Running in a real publishing house today.
I want this TewThe brain behind the chat box and the drafted replies. It answers only from facts you checked and says "I don't know" rather than guess. Every miss it logs makes your library smarter.
I want this TewYour AI gets smarter only by proposing notes you approve, and nothing is ever deleted, so you always know what it knows. On in my own agents today.
I want this TewA self-audit on your page. Visitors bring their own numbers, the math tells the truth, and the answer is never held hostage for an email. The quiz further down this page is it, live.
I want this TewVoice and video inside your own app: staff dial a member, a paid room opens when payment lands, a no-show refunds itself. Built, in human testing now.
I want this TewMost of what I build is the thing somebody asked for on a Tuesday: "could you make it so..." A few of them, from my gym, my studio and some unnamed clients. Every one runs today.
If one of these sounds like your Tuesday, 🥷 my Ninja takes it from here.
Tap the ninja on any row and your message lands with my Ninja Agent first, which is the Front Desk up there answering for itself. I take it from where he leaves off.
Nobody hires a reply drafter. They hire whoever runs the marketing, keeps the books, answers the customers. These are those seats: one job, one number it is judged on, the solutions above doing the work. Each one ran my own businesses first, or it is not for sale.
Owns: more customers.
Plans the campaign, drafts three angles in your voice, does the ad math before a cent moves, and reads the numbers back to you every day. You approve, you press, you hold the wallet. Run on three of my own businesses so far, nothing spent.
Runs: The Marketing Room, The Ad Room, The Quiz Funnel, The Letter Slot
I want this TewOwns: every question answered, every booking kept.
Reads every mail, drafts the reply from your own answers, keeps bookings from turning into ping-pong, and says "I don't know" instead of guessing. You press every send. Its Front Desk runs live in my gym today.
Runs: The Front Desk, The Booking Desk, The Answer Engine, The Notebook, Colleagues by Email
I want this TewOwns: is everything running, and who is doing what.
One view over every desk and a straight answer to "is everything running?". It routes the work and reports to you in one place. Runs my own shop today.
Runs: the view over every other seat, and Colleagues by Email for the handoffs
I want this TewOwns: the long things, written in your voice.
The book, the course, the manual, the newsletter that goes out. It asks better questions and drafts; the taste stays human.
Runs: The Publishing House, The Video Room (in testing)
I want this TewOwns: the money is right and on time.
The Money Desk files and matches payment mail on one press. The seat above it watches the month: what came in, what is owed, what is late, and says so before you ask. Every payment still waits for your press.
Runs today: The Money Desk
I want this TewOwns: the apps stay up, the gear stays current.
Watches your builds, flags trouble before you notice, keeps your tools from going stale. Behind it stands me, with my own Dojo, which is the service this page sells.
Runs: the Dojo itself, with the sensei behind it
I want this TewNinjas do the grunt work. Masters each own a number. The Sensei is still me, and every send, pay and post is still your press.
You will never need to touch the builder tools. Your strength is elsewhere. I use the AI so you can do your HI, the part only you can do. I build your Dojo, train your ninjas on your own work, and stay close, overseeing it. In the gym I am the Sensei. In your business, same job. It grows in three steps.
Your first hire takes the one task that eats the most hours, usually the inbox. It drafts, it files, it proposes. A person presses every send. That rule never bends.
I want this TewNinjas earn belts the way my gym kids do: by showing up and proving it. A trusted ninja gets more to do, and the desks start passing work to each other: support to bookings to money.
I want this TewA workforce with one view over all of it, and me overseeing it, reporting to you in writing. Every judgment call is still yours.
I want this TewGive every AI hire a 2015 job title and you get a 2015 org chart. Mine start at white belt: propose only, prove it, earn the next belt. Nothing sends, pays or posts itself until it has.
Monthly subscription. Cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid month.
Cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid month or year.
It is me doing the building, on the same stack my own businesses and my clients' run on. Nothing for you to log into, renew or fix, and your domain, your content and your data stay yours. Once it stands, your team runs the daily work and I stay close, overseeing it, in writing. I help you run it; I do not run it for you, and I am not on your payroll. Want the whole day run for you, something bigger than one Dojo, or the build inside your own accounts? That is a custom price, and we talk first. I take a limited number of clients at a time, because a sensei who takes every student teaches none of them. Already decided? Skip the back and forth and fill in The Intake: 20 to 40 minutes, a voice note and a short video, and the build starts faster. Smaller need? R2 Hosting: your site or small app, built and hosted by me, $222 to build, then $99 a month.
Salesforce put a big AI inside its CRM and called it Claudeforce. Good idea, and they are spending a fortune on TV telling you so. Before you sign, here is what it costs, in plain English, and the part the ad leaves out: you still do all the work.
You never wanted a CRM. You wanted the phone to ring, the mail answered and the customer remembered. Two ways in, one bill each, and the tech is my problem.
Your website or small app, with the forms that bring work in. Built, hosted and kept running by me. Nothing for you to log into. For a lot of small businesses, this is all the system they ever needed.
I want this TewAll of that, plus your admin handled as a service. I manage the AI ninjas that draft every reply and file every payment. Your team checks it and presses send. Any number of people. The AI is in the price.
I want this TewWant the whole day run for you? That is a custom price, and we talk first.
If three of you need a contact list and nothing else, buy their Starter at $25 a seat. I will not beat that, and I will not pretend to.
Or hire a person. Marlow sells one full-time assistant plus an AI trained on your business: $2,650 a month billed for the year, or $2,977 month to month. If you want someone doing your daily work all day, that is what they sell, and it is not what I sell. Mine is $2,222 a month, flat, for any number of people: my AI ninjas do the legwork, I manage them, and your team presses send.
Salesforce prices from salesforce.com/sales/pricing and salesforce.com/agentforce/pricing, read 13 September 2026, USD. Claudeforce facts from Salesforce's press release of 26 August 2026 and its Claudeforce page, read the same day. Marlow's prices from hiremarlow.com/pricing, read 27 September 2026, USD. All of these change; this was true the day it was written.
Twelve, on purpose: I am not qualifying you out in three taps, I am working out where I would start. It asks what you want to move, where the hours go, and how you feel about computers. The result comes from your answers alone. No email needed. The belt bar fills as you go, white through black.
No assumption that you run a company. Plenty of the best work I have seen started as somebody's side thing.
Tap everything that is true. This is the question that decides what I would build you, so do not be shy.
Yours or whoever does it. Wage plus the cost of them not doing something better.
Mine was a game with my name on it. It took me twenty years and one May.
There is no wrong answer here. It only changes who ends up driving.
Honest math: your number is the hours you reported, times a 60% draft-and-file share, times the hourly value you gave it. Estimates, clearly labeled as estimates, from your answers and nothing else.
This is for the owner whose strength is the room, not the screen. You get a working Dojo, not advice about one, and the first thing we do is the audit: where your hours go.
It is a subscription, not a project, because a Dojo keeps growing: belts advance, ninjas join, and I stay close.
Monthly subscription. Cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid month.
I opened my first martial arts school at 19. Today I run NinjaGym on Koh Samui, 1,000+ members. A sensei's job is taking someone from white belt to black without skipping the proving in the middle.
I am the nerd who enjoys the computer part, and I wanted my time back too. So I built the app that runs my gym, my own till, the console that runs everything, and the game I had wanted for twenty years.
The other door of this site, in one section. A few photos and four old tapes, so you can see the building did not start with the apps.
Real footage from the archive, standard definition. Tap a tape to play it here; tap it again to go back to the photos.
I like to build, and I avoid hype. First with the martial arts: a step-by-step system of my own, nobody's copy. Then with the mind: WinJitsu, written from scratch in half a year in Pai, Thailand.
Always a Ninja Nerd too. Games and computers as a kid, a word processor I begged my parents for, then teaching companies Microsoft Word one day and martial arts the next. When web design arrived I taught myself NetObjects Fusion, built the sites for my own businesses, and NetObjects hired me to write the tutorials.
I have lived all over the world doing this. NinjaGym is the latest goal finished; the build now is the Digital Dojo. If the martial arts or coaching brought you here, that world is behind the HI Ninja door.
Ten of the many, in order.
Every stop on that line was a thing that did not exist, and then did. The apps are only the newest. If you build too and want help, I have some time.
I am not a marketing expert and will not become one. I am a sensei who got buried in admin, refused to call that the job, and built his way out. The builds on this page are the trail.
Then a friend stopped asking me to teach it and asked me to just do it for his company. That request is the whole business. Most people have no time to learn this, plenty do not like computers, and your hours are worth more in front of customers than in front of a screen.
So that is the trade: I do the AI so you can do the HI. The handshakes, the classes, the room. If that sounds like you, the quiz above is the quick way to find out, and the mailbox below is the short way to tell me.
No. That is the point. I build and train the Dojo; you run your business. If you ever want to see under the hood, I will show you. You never have to.
Never. Every ninja starts at white belt: propose only. Drafts pile up for your review, and a person presses every send, pay and post. That rule does not bend at any belt or any price.
One exception, and it is mine: the mailbox on this page is answered first by my Ninja Agent, signed as the AI, from answers I wrote, because that is the demo. In your Dojo nothing sends without your press unless you choose the same for a lane of your own.
Your Dojo is $2,222 a month: I build it, host it, and help you run it; your team presses every send. The audit that comes first is free. Monthly, cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid month. Smaller need? R2 Hosting: I build your site or small app and host it on my stack, $222 to build, then $99 a month or $999 a year. Want the whole day run for you, or something bigger than one Dojo? That is a custom price, and we talk first. The AI is in the price: I run it on my accounts, and you never open an AI account or watch a meter. Not in the price: ad spend, software your business already pays for on its own, and building a product you sell, which is separate work agreed in writing first. The quiz says where I would start.
A desk is one AI ninja on one job, like the Front Desk drafting your support replies. And yes: that is how every Dojo starts. The free audit picks the one job that eats the most hours, usually the inbox, and one ninja takes it. More join once it has proven itself, and the price stays $2,222 a month, flat. One desk built on its own, without the monthly service, is a custom job, quoted in writing.
The audit first, and it is free: we map where your hours go, together, in writing. Then your first ninja takes the one task that eats the most, usually the inbox, at white belt: it can be up and running within days. It proves itself before anything widens.
You lose the window, not the room. The build is the window: the desk, the forms, the site I made so you can see the work and press. The room is yours: your domain, your mail, your content, your videos, your customer records. They are yours in writing, they leave with you, and I keep no copy. What ends with me is the window and the hosting, and nothing is charged after.
Anytime. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the paid month, or on a yearly R2 Hosting plan at the end of the paid year. Everything runs on my stack, so there is nothing to hand back or log out of. Your domain, your content and your data leave with you, and I do not keep a copy. The build and the hosting end with the subscription, and nothing is charged after.
No. Both plans are built on my stack and stay there: the hosting, the database, the mail plumbing, every setting that holds it together. It is the same stack my own businesses and my clients' run on, and it is why the price is flat. For you that means no dashboard, no console, no certificate to renew, no password to keep somewhere safe, and no bug that is yours to fix. When something needs changing, you tell me. Yours, always: your domain, your content and your data. Want it built inside your own accounts instead, as a thing you own outright? That is a custom job, quoted in writing, and it costs more, because every login and card approval on your side is an hour of the build.
A department head's job, run as a service: trained AI ninjas do the legwork, I manage them, and you approve what goes out. It works the way a fractional executive does, without the day rate. A Master is a seat: a job title, one number it is judged on, and the solutions on this page working under it. Six seats exist, all six have run my own businesses, and all six are for sale.
Yes. The solutions list and both prices sit in a tool an assistant can read, and the mailbox is a tool it can call. What it posts lands where a person's message lands, and the reply goes to the person it was sent for, not to the robot. Your own website can do the same; that is one of the things I build.
Safe the way I build it. The desk reads every message, sorts it, drafts the reply in your voice, and stops. Nothing leaves without a person's press. Its rules live in code, not in a prompt, so a clever mail cannot talk it into anything. Attachments are never opened. It ignores bounces and machine mail, it cannot touch money, and every draft it ever made stays on file. Whatever the AI companies change tomorrow, the press is still yours.
Same idea, and mine comes with the tech done for you. Claudeforce is Salesforce's CRM with a big AI inside: $195 to $550 a person a month for a seat, from $125 more for the AI on it, every job it does metered on top, and you still set it up, learn it and run it. Mine: R2 Hosting, $222 to build then $99 a month, is your website or small app, with the forms that bring work in, built and run by me. Your Dojo, $2,222 a month flat, adds trained AI ninjas so every reply is drafted and waiting for one press, any number of people, the AI in the price. If three of you just need a contact list, buy their Starter at $25 a seat. I will not beat that.
Yes, and not by me clicking around. Simulated players go first: hundreds of rounds, every button pressed, looking for stalls, dead ends and bad sums. Then a second pass in character, people of different ages and patience, reporting where they got lost. It walked this page before the chat box shipped.
Because trust is earned by showing up and proving it, which is how I grade kids at the gym. A ninja that has proven itself gets more to do. One that has not, does not.
Not in the list? Ask the ninja. It answers from what I wrote, and hands you to me when it cannot.
Client names stay out of it, and I will not invent a quote to fill a box. Here is what was asked for, and what shipped.
"Give me my evenings back."
ShippedThe gym app. 1,000+ members, bookings, belts, birthdays, on auto while the sensei teaches. That client was me.
"Teach us to do what you did." Then: "could you just do it for us?"
ShippedA support desk that drafts a reply to every customer mail for one human press, payment mail that files itself, and an overseer over all of it.
"Stop the till charging $5 per staff member for a PIN."
ShippedMy own POS. Staff PINs, named sales, inventory, the books.
"Bring a 1998 factory online."
ShippedThe whole front and back office for a commercial air-handling maker: website, backend, QR tracking on the equipment, service management and a CRM. A quarter-century of paper became one system.
The next visitor may not be a person but somebody's assistant, sent to find out what I do and get in touch. This page tells it what it needs, and the mailbox below is a tool it can call.
Early days, honestly: the standard is in the browser makers' trial and the big assistants are still learning to use it.
What somebody's assistant gets here today
If an assistant sent you here, or you are one: hello. Everything above is true for you too.
Tell me where your hours go. This will not open your email app, and my own address is not written on this page for the crawlers to eat. Drop it in my mailbox. Or try the ninja first: email aininja@ricktew.com and see what comes back.
My Ninja Agent has it and is already writing back: check your inbox in the next minute. I read every message and follow up myself.
