↳ story

The brand has a backstory.
Where the name comes from.

The display typeface is Bricolage Grotesque, designed by Mathieu Triay. Bricolage is French for tinkering.

A bricoleur, in Lévi-Strauss's term, walks into a room, takes stock of what's there, and starts building. If a plan exists, it changes by step 3.

Tinkering is the philosophy at The AI Burrow. We're tinkerers at heart, practitioners first.

We run workshops and implementation for teams and people who want to build things that work. If you're non-technical, we'll get you from 0 to 1.

The goal is confidence. The kind that comes from doing.

what we do

Tinker out loud. Document the wins and the dead-ends. The dead-ends are more useful anyway.

who it's for

Lawyers. Founders. Ops leads. Marketers. Parents. Anyone whose day-to-day could use AI doing the boring parts. We work with teams and individuals. Same room, no jargon flex.

▲ spark

Help for teams who want AI doing the real work.

For SMEs, business owners, and teams stuck at "we know AI is important, but what do we actually do with it?" I've made enough mistakes to help you avoid yours.

The Build

A one-time AI implementation. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, shipped. We audit your workflow, propose the system to build, then build it with you.

Team Workshops

Private AI workshops for your team. Half-day to two-day, on your stack and your real workflows. Hands-on, scoped to your team's real tools and workflows.

The Retainer

An ongoing AI partnership, billed monthly. We stay with the system we built, extend it, and keep it working as the tools and models shift.

▼ case studies

Some of the things we've built.

Three of the systems The AI Burrow ships and runs daily. Each one solves a real operational pain. The same craft goes into the systems we build for clients.

Cobrokely

A Telegram-native viewing coordinator for SG property agents.

~10s compile-to-shortlist · In daily use by SG property agents.

See the case study →

Burrow Pantry

A family pantry app with receipt scanner and a daily 7am Telegram brief.

Daily since 26 Feb 2026 · ~94 morning briefs delivered.

See the case study →

KiasuMiles

An AI card recommendation skill for SG cardholders playing the miles game.

3,308 SG merchants · 48 SG cards · open source on GitHub.

See the case study →
■ making

Hands-on sessions.
Small rooms. Real builds.

One-day workshops for teams and individuals who'd rather build something than sit through a deck. Every batch gets into their batch group chat after, so the learning keeps going.

60+ builders have set up their first OpenClaw AI employee with us so far, across 4 sold-out cohorts in 2026.

* voices

What people say after they build with us.

Workshops are small on purpose. The receipts below are what the rooms produced: words from builders, lawyers, business owners, dealers.

❝
Absolutely mind-blown. Basically learnt the 101 on how to get started — even in high-level business, the first thing we learn is foundations and vocabulary. This course blew the gates open to agentic building and integration. Stay curious, stay hungry.
Josh Business & Markets · Workshop #03 participant
❝
I came in curious, left knowing how to build. We deployed a working AI employee on Telegram — it handles client queries, troubleshoots issues, generates reports. It's solving real problems on demand across my personal and business workflows. Didn't expect that ROI from a single workshop.
Christopherson Ho Car Dealer · Workshop #01 participant
❝
Really wanna thank you and Nat for running this course. It was so good — honestly I didn't expect much of myself, I knew my tech limitations. But now I have my own agent running tasks for me. So excited to see what more it can do for me. Thank you for being so patient and going the extra mile to troubleshoot. So glad I joined — will definitely be coming for more.
Vanessa Business Owner · Workshop #02 participant

❝
The process of setting up an artificial intelligence agent was more complex and in other ways simpler than I'd anticipated. Before the workshop, I wouldn't have known how to set up a virtual private server or deploy an AI agent. Thankful for the practical introduction to the risks of agentic adoption, tips for risk mitigation, and actual use cases.
Hui Min Lawyer · Workshop #01 participant
❝
Had little to no technical background and yet it was very easy to follow. Insightful class and can't wait to see where I can go from here!
Praveen Chandra Workshop #03 participant
❝
Of all the AI courses I've been to, this is easily one of the best. Most courses just have people blah-blah-blah for hours — this one is the real deal.
Sukaimi Sukri Creative Agentic Engineer · Workshop #03 participant

INVITE ONLY

Teaches what he builds.

No theory. Just the things that actually worked. And the ones that didn't.

Hosan Swee · Founder

Hosan is the founder of The AI Burrow, a community for AI-curious beginners and experienced builders alike, documenting what actually works, what breaks, and what to do differently.

One of the earliest adopters to run OpenClaw as a daily-driver personal AI agent, integrated across Telegram, WhatsApp, calendar, and custom automations.

The AI Burrow works with specialists across law, marketing, engineering, and finance. Hosan co-founded DeFi Singapore, spoke for UOB Asset Management's Learn@UOBAM series, and judged the NUS × TinyFish SG hackathon with OpenAI.
