ABOUT AI ALCHEMIST

Hi, I’m Kieron.
I teach small business owners
how to talk to AI.

Not how AI works. Not the theory. Not the tech. Just the plain-English method that makes it useful — for you, in your business, today.

From the boardrooms of Pepsi
to the back office of your café

For 20 years, I worked as a management trainer and coach — helping teams inside some of the world’s biggest companies communicate better, lead more effectively, and get more done.

The one thing I kept coming back to was this: most people aren’t bad at their job. They’re just never shown the right way to communicate what they need. Give them the right framework and everything changes.

When AI tools like ChatGPT arrived, I watched something familiar happen. Smart, capable people — business owners, freelancers, managers — tried it once, got something generic and useless back, and wrote it off as “not for me.”

I recognised that problem immediately. It wasn’t an AI problem. It was a communication problem. And communication problems are exactly what I’ve spent my entire career solving.

So I built the CRAFT Method — a five-part framework that tells AI exactly what you need, every time. The same structured thinking I used in boardrooms with FTSE 100 companies, adapted for the café owner, the salon manager, the freelancer, and the solopreneur who just wants to save a few hours this week.

That’s AI Alchemist. It’s not a tech product. It’s a communication course for the most powerful tool most small businesses have never properly used.

🏫

The lightbulb moment
Watching Small Business Owners Struggle With AI
Saw intelligent, hardworking people getting nothing useful from AI tools — not because the tools were bad, but because nobody had shown them how to brief them properly. Recognised the problem immediately: it was a communication gap, not a technology gap.
🧪
The solution
The CRAFT Method Is Born
Applied 20 years of structured communication training to AI prompting. The result: a five-part framework (Context, Role, Ask, Format, Tone) that works for any task, any business, any AI tool — and takes 60 seconds to apply.
