One clickable page that gets you ready for an interview, a sales call or a first date.

Sheets are written by AI from what you give it, so read yours before you rely on it.

Cheat Sheet: demo

Cheat Sheet turns a few answers into one clickable page for an interview, a first date, a sales call, a business meeting, a presentation, a negotiation, a difficult conversation or networking. It is highly customizable, so it works for almost any event. The Job Fit tab lines up every requirement against your resume and flags your gaps up front. Many companies don't want live AI help in the interview room; this is a cheat that follows the rules, because you prepare in advance. It runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Kapp Tech Studios: the film

An independent studio building games and apps with a very small team: Austyn (creative director and lead play tester), Kapp, and Claude, the AI that writes the code and runs the tests. This is how we work, and what we have made so far.

Role-specific interactive sales training

Hands-on, scenario-based training built for each role, so reps practice the conversations they actually have.

LMS setup and content

Setting up and configuring a learning management system, and building the courses, paths and certifications that go in it.

Sales onboarding and ramp programs

Clear 30-60-90 style paths that get new hires productive faster.

Slide presentation manager

One governed place for the approved decks, with the right version in the right hands.

FAQ bot

Answers for reps and customers from your own approved material.

Conversation intelligence and sales coaching

Turn call recordings into practical coaching for reps and managers.

Playbooks, battlecards and sales content

Short, usable guides for discovery, objections, competitors and next steps.

Enablement program design and measurement

Programs tied to the outcomes sales leaders care about, with simple ways to see if they work.
