SI1 is Christian Ganaban's applied AI practice, built in public. Every method is proven on a live case first: a personal reputation search engines understand, a new business built with AI from day one, and AI inside a working venue group.
SI1 is taking on a small number of early engagements while we build in public.
SI1 works in three areas. Each has a live proof case, documented as it happens, so the methods are ones already in use.
Build and protect a person's digital identity, authority and reputation. Search engines, AI assistants and people now form a view of you before you meet.
How it worksProof case. Case Study Zero: Christian Ganaban and ganaban.com, documented publicly as the method is applied. Case study
Use AI to research, conceive, launch, market and grow businesses. AI changes the cost of starting something.
How it worksProof case. Domestic Robot: an AI-enabled review and comparison business for home robotics, launched on 28 September 2026 and built with this method. Case study
Bring AI, automation and agents into organisations that are already running. Established businesses have the most to gain and the least time to experiment.
How it worksProof case. A multi-venue Melbourne hospitality and entertainment group, where these methods are tested daily in marketing, search and operations. Case study
We develop a method, prove it on a live case, then turn what works into a repeatable system: playbooks, templates, agents and training. Every case is documented in public, with dates and real numbers.
Practical articles for owners and leaders, published in order: the philosophy, the method, then the proof.
The official Grok Bot changelog has caught up, with four new entries from 3 to 6 November. The headline items are everyday ones: asking for a refund, finding a gift that arrives on time, reordering the usual list with one approval, and clearer phone call results.
Read the article →The Mac app has moved to 0.79.2, but the official changelog has not caught up. Early community reports point to a tidier interface and per-bot voice controls. That is useful for anyone running more than one assistant.
Read the article →The official Grok Bot account has announced that Grok Bot can now make phone calls. The details are thin so far, but a bot that can pick up the phone is a real step for anyone running AI assistants in a business.
