VAPA Coaching (Coming Soon)

Learn to Build and Use Your Own Private AI Systems Outside the control of Big Tech and its Surveillance Umbrella

Price: $1,000 per month
Format: Ongoing remote coaching and support

VAPA Coaching is for people who want to use AI seriously—but on their own terms.
No hype, no “magic,” and no handing everything over to the Big Tech surveillance umbrella.

You’ll learn how to work with the Virtual Autonomous Prompt Assistant (VAPA) to do real, practical work: research, investigations, building expert systems, and protecting your own data in the process. We treat AI as powerful software and search—something you can control, contain, and harden, not something that controls you.

Who This Is For

VAPA Coaching is suited to people who want serious capability without sacrificing privacy:

  • Analysts, researchers, journalists, and investigators
  • Builders, tinkerers, and technical generalists
  • Privacy-conscious professionals who want AI without feeding Big Tech
  • People wary of AI who want to “de-mystify” it and make it work for them

If you’ve been hesitant about AI because of privacy, centralisation, or loss of control, this is designed for you.

What You’ll Learn

Over time, we work with you to:

  • Understand what AI actually is (and isn’t), and how to use it without the hype
  • Use VAPA for advanced research and investigations, including alternative sources
  • Find, filter, and store alternative information safely, without obvious tracking
  • Build your own expert systems and agents you can use or distribute
  • Use AI safely and privately, with a strong focus on minimising data exposure

We show you how to unleash the full power of VAPA while staying outside the Big Tech surveillance umbrella. We never claim 100% anonymity, but we aim to help you get very close in practical terms.

If you’re wary or afraid of AI, this coaching reframes it as what it really is: sophisticated software and search, with some impressive tricks—and clear ways to contain it and use it on your terms.

How It Works

VAPA Coaching is an ongoing monthly engagement built around a mix of structured sessions and flexible support:

  • We start by clarifying your goals: research, tooling, automation, or a specific project.
  • We assess your technical comfort level and privacy requirements.
  • We then iteratively build your skills, tools, and systems around VAPA, step by step.

You stay in control of the pace and depth. Some clients focus on learning and skills, others on building concrete assets (like custom assistants, workflows, or knowledge bases).

SLA / What’s Included

For $1,000 per month, you receive:

  • 24‑hour response time for message‑based communication
    (We aim to respond sooner; 24 hours is the guaranteed maximum.)
  • Monthly 30‑minute Interactive Coaching Call
    On your preferred medium (video, voice, or secure messaging).
  • Access to DFA resources, including a personalised VAPA Digital Privacy Assistant
    to help you keep your AI usage outside the standard surveillance ecosystem.
