WARPAI talent development and agent implementation

An organisation that runs on AI,
built from the front line

Engineers become AI engineers. Business teams build their own AI agents.
Taught by the developers who build and ship our own AI products, from training through to implementation.

Is your AI training hitting these walls?

Tools are live. Training happened. Yet the floor still does not move — WARP is built to unstick that “stopped midway” state with practice and continuity.

Illustration of a team stuck with AI tools due to a skills gap
  • Tools are in, but the floor cannot use them

    ChatGPT or Copilot exists, yet there is no pattern to drop into real work — it is left to individuals.

  • Classroom energy dies the next week

    The day feels great, then hands freeze and nothing sticks.

  • Unclear who to train first

    Company-wide vs core team. No design that matches goal and headcount.

  • Content goes stale fast

    AI moves so fast that materials feel obsolete in months.

  • Policy limits which AI you can use

    You need training that still works when only Workspace or Copilot is allowed.

Assessment → plan → practice → use at work, end to end

Understand where you are, choose intensive (NEXT) or continuous learning (BASIC), then train hands-on until people can actually use AI. We do not stop at lectures.

After training, how work gets done changes

Prompts and workflows become shared language. Teams try, improve, and share on their own. That is the talent outcome WARP aims for.

Three tracks

Who, and how far you take them

What people call "AI training" means completely different things depending on the audience. We design three distinct paths.

01Engineers

From engineer to AI engineer

For people who already write code and need to move to AI-first development. Not autocomplete tips, but delegating design and implementation to agents while a human reviews. The shift from "AI takes my job" to "AI works for me".

  • How AI-driven development actually runs
  • Delegating implementation to agents, and reviewing it
  • Applying it to your own products

02Marketing, finance and HR

Business teams that build their own agents

We do not hand out tools and leave. Agents go into the real work of each function, and the people doing that work end up able to modify them. Once the person who took the training automates their own department, the organisation starts moving without outside help.

  • Mapping the work and picking what to automate
  • Building and running the agents
  • Getting staff to the point they can change them

03Audit and compliance

AI-era security, updated every month

The wider AI use spreads, the harder it is for auditors to keep up. WARP BASIC delivers AI-era security and compliance training as video, refreshed monthly. Last year's knowledge cannot measure this year's risk. That refresh rate is what audit teams tell us they value.

  • Security risks that come with AI use
  • Compliance training included
  • Content updated monthly

Why WARP

What makes WARP different

Designed so that something stays implemented on the ground, not just delivered as training.

01
AI Dev Experience

Active AI Developers as Instructors

The same company that builds and ships AI agents such as ZEROCK and TRAFEED runs the training. Not textbook knowledge, but how the people who actually build and operate them go about it.

02
Latest Info

Monthly Content Updates

AI moves fast enough that six-month-old material is unusable. We fold in current model and tool behaviour every month, and the security and compliance content is refreshed on the same cycle.

03
No Extra Charge

Customized for Your Environment

If your environment is Google Workspace only, or Microsoft Copilot only, we rebuild the content around that constraint. No extra charge.

What Our Graduates Say

From zero coding experience to a live business. Hear from founders who completed WARP.

ShelterMate Inc. Erika Oguro

ShelterMate Inc.

Animal-shelter management SaaS

Honestly, I was about as far from tech-savvy as you can get. But thanks to the WARP lectures and patient one-on-one support, I built the SaaS mockup I had been picturing, by myself. The concept I had struggled to communicate finally led to concrete conversations and sales meetings with customers, and we are now in a proof-of-concept phase.

Vibe Coding / MRR over ¥5M in six months

During WARP I launched three services, including the Markdown-sharing tool MD Now!. By graduation I had gone from zero revenue to over ¥5 million in MRR within six months, and as a one-person company running purely on Vibe Coding, ¥100 million in annual revenue is now within reach. Being able to run everything from customer discovery to product development and operations on an AI-first basis is entirely down to my experience at WARP.

Tokyo Startup Gateway 2025 finalist

Joining WARP opened everything up. It is not just a place to gain knowledge. It is where you commit to building a product with your own hands and bringing it into the world. With the TIMEWELL team's wholehearted support my business accelerated, and I was selected as a finalist for Tokyo Startup Gateway 2025.

From no coding experience to shipping an MVP

Before WARP I had no development experience at all. I had things I wanted to build but no way to make them real. WARP taught me AI-driven development from the ground up, and through trial and error I became able to build our landing page and internal efficiency tools on my own. After the program I kept building for real work, and now I can develop MVPs for complex products.

Meeting engineers and preparing to launch

The biggest gain was meeting fellow engineers and building relationships where we could say, let's do something together. The incorporation-fee support (subject to review at application) is a reassuring system for anyone aiming to start a company. I learned the latest tools, and my mental barrier toward AI came down.
