AI solutions and training, South Africa

AI that does real work,
for real people

I design and build AI systems that illustrate books, prepare learners for exams, assemble formal document bundles and keep busy families organised. Then I teach people to do the same.

The story behind 2xtwo

Built by someone who needed it first

I am an engineer by training, a parent by calling, and a hands-on AI practitioner by habit. A few years ago I started building small AI systems to carry the repetitive parts of my own work and family life: study materials the night before an exam, paperwork that had to be perfect, projects my sons dreamed up at the kitchen table.

What I learned is that the hardest part of AI is not the technology. It is the gap between capable, busy people and tools that could give them hours back every week. Most people do not need to become AI experts. They need someone who has done the work to build the system around them, and to teach them just enough to stay in control.

That is 2xtwo: bespoke AI systems built for how you actually work, and training that meets you where you are.

What I do

Two services, one promise: it has to work in real life

Bespoke AI solutions

You describe the finicky, repetitive, multi-step work that eats your week. I design and build an AI system that carries it: connected to the tools you already use, documented, and yours to keep.

You stay in charge of the decisions. The system does the legwork, and checks its own work along the way.

Let's discuss your context

AI training and workshops

Hands-on sessions built as stories, not slideshows. Learners step into a narrative and solve real problems with AI, guided by simple named methods they take home and keep using.

Delivered to senior professionals, parents, teachers and high school students.

What I've built

Real systems, for real households, classrooms and businesses

Exam prep, overnight

A workflow that turns a subject's exam scope into colour-coded wall posters, progressively harder mock tests with full memos, and a two-page study guide. CAPS-aligned, in Afrikaans and English, print-ready in one sitting.

A book illustration studio

An entire children's book illustrated in one consistent style. The client approves the look once, approves the finished pictures at the end, and the pipeline handles everything in between.

Letter bundles that assemble themselves

One command turns a formal letter and its supporting documents into a finished bundle: annexures labelled and stamped, a contents page that matches, and page numbers that run straight through.

Calmer co-parenting

For parents raising children across two homes: both enter updates, the system rewrites everything to be child-focused and neutral, and both receive the same clear reports. Less friction about tone, more time solving actual problems.

Beast City, a video game

Designed on paper at the kitchen table with a twelve-year-old, then built with AI. The lesson: when the thinking is done properly, the building is the fast part.

A sweet stand's first books

A young trader's spreadsheet that separates money taken from money made, and answers the question every kid asks: how much goes to the tax man? Business sense, one sweet at a time.

AI in education

Guided beats unguided, every time

AI is already in South African classrooms, whether anyone planned for it or not. I help schools and families make its use guided, honest and genuinely useful, instead of unmonitored and feared.

Parent information sessions

What your children are already doing with AI, and how to guide it at home.

Teacher workshops

Practical lesson planning, marking support and study material creation, hands on.

School AI policy

Help drafting a sensible acceptable-use policy before the term ends, not after the incident.

Student sessions

Honest, effective AI use for high school learners: a tool, not a shortcut.

Training centres on the tools schools already have: Google Classroom, NotebookLM and Gemini for Education.
