Who we help
Three kinds of people we're built for
You don't need to be technical. You don't need to be ready. You just need to want a steadier way forward.
Small business owners
Practical AI and automation help without the jargon — save hours on the admin you least enjoy, one workflow at a time.
Workers in transition
If your role is changing as AI arrives, we help you build new skills and a plan — with a steady hand through the change, not a scare.
People finding their feet
Building everyday digital confidence — including older adults and people returning to work — through friendly community workshops.
Services
Ways we can work together
Simple, honest pricing. Everything can start small — one session, one workflow, one workshop.
AI Coaching
One-to-one, practical and personalised. Single sessions, a four-session pack to build real skills, or an ongoing monthly subscription.
Automation Setup
We build a real workflow and hand it over with training — from a single starter automation to multi-step business systems.
Business Retainer
Ongoing monthly support — workflow reviews, updates and a steady hand as your needs grow.
Workshops
Group sessions for teams, businesses and communities — from an intro for real people to half-day deep dives.
Workshops
An eight-part learning journey
Eight hands-on workshops, each in Intro, Business and Full tiers. Take them in any order — you leave having done something real, not just heard about it. Cultural-safety modules are led by our education lead under our Indigenising & Decolonising Framework.
AI Literacy
A friendly first step into using AI in everyday work.
Ethical & Safe AI

Check your AI tools and workflows for cultural safety.
Decolonising AI
Community-led, under our cultural framework.
Future-Proofing SMEs

Co-Designing AI
Design one real workflow with the people who'll use it.
Youth Safety
Helping young people run their online lives safely.
AI Year in Review
Turn a year of change into next year's plan.
Admin
Weekly AI Landscape control room
The AI Landscape import tools now sit behind an admin login. Use this area to manually import the latest weekly CSV or JSON update, review the dashboard, and keep the website's local data current.
| AI | Company | Category | Score | Strengths | Weaknesses | Opportunities | Threats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No data loaded yet. Import a CSV or JSON weekly update, or load the sample. | |||||||
Weekly update workflow: ask ChatGPT for the next dated AI Landscape spreadsheet, export the main data sheet as CSV, log in here, then import it. The site keeps the newest imported copy in local browser storage. For a live production site, connect the same schema to a hosted JSON file, CMS, Airtable, Google Sheet, or API.
Our values
An Indigenous-owned partnership, built on trust
PeopleForward AI is a 50/50 partnership. Our education and research is Indigenous-led, and cultural knowledge is always held with care — it belongs with community, and it never goes into an AI tool.
Beside, not above
We sit with you until it works. No talking down, no leaving you with a login and good luck.
Plain English, always
If a nervous first-timer can't follow it, we rewrite it. Clarity is the whole job.
Honest about AI
No hype, no fear. AI is a useful, fallible tool — and you stay the one in charge.
Culturally safe
Our Indigenising & Decolonising Framework guides how we teach, led by our education lead.
Who we are
Two people, beside you
Aaron Hayes
Leads client work, coaching and technical setup. A qualified trainer with a background in IT systems and a decade of community leadership.
Kate McGato
A Kamilaroi woman and Registered Nurse who leads our curriculum, research and cultural framework — grounding everything we teach in evidence and care.
