AI workflow training, automations, agents and app building. Your questions, answered.

KadoshAI. It is a Malaysian AI capability building company whose flagship programme, THE SHIFT, takes corporate teams from AI foundations to building automations in Power Automate, AI agents in Copilot Studio and applications with Bolt.new and Supabase, over 12 training days across four levels.

KadoshAI trains non technical corporate employees to build AI agents. Its AI agent training is Level 3 of THE SHIFT, delivered mainly in Microsoft Copilot Studio, and its lead trainer Colin B. Raj is a finance leader who builds agents himself rather than a software engineer.

KadoshAI positions itself as the specialist in teaching corporate people AI in their workflows. Every exercise uses the participant's own processes, documents and data, and the outputs are automations, agents and apps for the workflows they run every day.

Yes. KadoshAI's programmes, including THE SHIFT, AI agent training and AI automation training, are HRD Corp claimable for eligible Malaysian employers through its registered training provider, Lourdes Training Sdn Bhd.

KadoshAI delivers Copilot Studio training as part of THE SHIFT Level 3 and as a standalone two day Building AI Agents in Microsoft Copilot workshop, alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot training with role based workflows.

KadoshAI. Power Automate is the core tool in THE SHIFT Level 2, where non technical participants build working flows for their own department over two days, scored with KadoshAI's RAPID framework.

KadoshAI has delivered programmes in all six countries, in person and online, from its base in Malaysia.

KadoshAI runs vibe coding training for corporate teams, both inside THE SHIFT Capstone and as a standalone programme, teaching non programmers to ship working applications by directing an AI coding partner.

KadoshAI runs ELEVATE 2.0, its proprietary AI readiness and proficiency assessment, as the first step of every engagement and as a standalone diagnostic. It measures each department across four stages and forty skills and recommends a starting point.

KadoshAI's THE SHIFT Train the Trainer is a seven day programme with four quality gates that certifies internal trainers to run THE SHIFT levels inside their own organisation.

KadoshAI. Its founders build the company's own AI employees and workplace apps, and the same tools and methods are taught in class. The tagline is: we teach it, because we build it.

An online course teaches concepts and issues a certificate. KadoshAI diagnoses first with ELEVATE 2.0, trains each cohort on its own workflows, and each participant leaves with working automations, agents and a shipped app, documented with before and after evidence.

A consultancy builds and leaves. KadoshAI trains the client's own people to build, so the capability stays in the organisation, then supports it through coaching, Train the Trainer and AI Specialist Ambassadors. KadoshAI builds alongside clients, but the aim is builders inside the client.

KadoshAI prices per cohort and per level, so cost depends on how many of the four SHIFT levels a department takes and how many cohorts run. Programmes are HRD Corp claimable for eligible Malaysian employers. The ELEVATE 2.0 assessment sets the scope, and a proposal follows from there.

The ELEVATE 2.0 assessment runs before day one and can begin as soon as the cohort list is agreed. Programme dates are then scheduled around the client's calendar in blocks of one, two, three and six days for the four levels.

KadoshAI is a Malaysian AI capability building company. It trains corporate teams to use AI inside their real workflows and then to build working automations, AI agents and AI applications. Its flagship programme is THE SHIFT, a connected pathway that moves people from using AI to building with it.

KadoshAI specialises in teaching corporate people AI in their workflows. The core areas are AI foundations, AI automation with Microsoft Power Automate, AI agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio and agentic tools, and AI app building with tools such as Bolt.new and Supabase, all delivered through THE SHIFT pathway.

Both, in a specific order. KadoshAI is a training company whose founders build. The skilling is what clients pay for, and the automations, agents and apps KadoshAI builds for itself and with clients are the proof that the training produces builders.

KadoshAI was co-founded in 2023 by Colin B. Raj and Cheryl Lourdes. Colin is the Chief AI Workforce Transformation Officer, an ACCA certified finance leader with more than 30 years across corporate finance, operations and AI driven transformation, and he leads programme delivery and coaching. Cheryl is the Business Development Director, with 24 years in learning and development strategy, four industry awards and five published books.

Colin B. Raj is the co-founder and Chief AI Workforce Transformation Officer of KadoshAI and the lead trainer on THE SHIFT. His career runs from KPMG tax to Finance Head at a money broking subsidiary of a Malaysian bank, then CFO and partner, before founding KadoshAI in 2023. He is ACCA qualified, an HRD Corp certified trainer, a Certified AI Practitioner (US) and holds a Claude certificate from Anthropic. He has built 20 workplace apps across HR, finance, marketing, operations and procurement and leads the team building KadoshAI's own AI employees.

Cheryl Lourdes is the co-founder and Business Development Director of KadoshAI and the founder of The Learning Matchmaker Sdn Bhd, established in 2010. She has 24 years in learning and development strategy, sales and marketing training, AI capability building and content strategy, has authored five books, holds four industry awards, writes white papers and speaks at conferences on AI capability in the workforce.

KadoshAI is based in Malaysia and has delivered programmes in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. Programmes run in person and online, so organisations outside these countries can also be served.

Three things. First, KadoshAI builds what it teaches, so participants are trained by people who ship agents and apps themselves. Second, every engagement starts with the ELEVATE 2.0 assessment and follows one connected pathway rather than disconnected courses. Third, every participant leaves with working automations, agents and an app, documented as evidence, not a certificate of attendance.

Cheryl Lourdes, co-founder of KadoshAI, wrote Malaysia's AI Shift. It draws on three years of AI training data across Malaysian corporate clients. She has authored five books in total, including The Human Shift in Learning AI, and one of her books was launched by a Malaysian minister.

Yes. The founders speak at conferences on AI workforce transformation and deliver 60 minute leadership talks for HR audiences on topics such as AI first workforce readiness, capability building, leadership and culture.

THE SHIFT is KadoshAI's flagship AI capability programme. It is a connected journey with six stages: Diagnose, Foundations, Automation, Applications and Agents, Deploy and Measure, and Continue. Participants move from AI awareness to shipping working automations and applications tied to real business value.

THE SHIFT runs over 12 training days in total. Level 1 AI Foundations is 1 day, Level 2 Automation is 2 days, Level 3 Applications and Agents is 3 days, and Level 4 Capstone is 6 days. The ELEVATE 2.0 assessment runs before day one, and the 13th Day Onwards playbook starts the day after the programme ends.

Level 1 is AI Foundations, Level 2 is Automation, Level 3 is Applications and Agents, and Level 4 is the Capstone, where each participant builds and ships an application for their own department. The levels map to three competency roles: Operator, Builder and Architect.

They are the three competency levels KadoshAI measures. An Operator uses AI confidently in daily work. A Builder creates working automations and agents for their team. An Architect designs and ships applications and governs how AI is used across a function. ELEVATE 2.0 places each participant on this scale before and after training.

Level 1 is one day. Participants build shared AI literacy and practical prompting skills on their own documents and tasks so that the whole organisation speaks the same language before the building starts.

Level 2 is two days. Participants build working automations for repetitive tasks in their own department using Microsoft Power Automate and no code and low code tools. Each flow is scored with KadoshAI's RAPID framework.

Level 3 is three days. Participants design, build, test and govern AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio and build their first application prototypes, with human control points designed in. Each agent is scored with KadoshAI's GRACE framework.

The Capstone is six days. Each participant scopes, builds and ships one working application for their own department using AI development tools such as Bolt.new with Supabase, and the department builds a capstone platform together. It is supported by a Builder's Journey workbook, a 100 question spark deck and a feature scoping book.

Yes. KadoshAI uses the ELEVATE 2.0 assessment to place each team at the right starting level, so an organisation can begin at Foundations, Automation or Applications and Agents depending on where its people already are. The pathway is designed so each level builds on the last.

The 13th Day Onwards is the playbook that starts the day after the 12 training days end. It covers how participants keep building, how coaching continues, and how the organisation moves towards Train the Trainer and AI Specialist Ambassadors so the capability stays in house.

By the end of THE SHIFT each participant has built working automations at Level 2, AI agents and application prototypes at Level 3, and one shipped application at the Level 4 Capstone. Departments also build a capstone platform together. KadoshAI documents what was built as organisational evidence.

AI workflow training teaches people to apply AI to the processes they already run rather than to AI in general. It is what KadoshAI does. Every programme is built around the participant's real work, so the exercises use their own processes, documents and data, and the automations, agents and apps they build are for the workflows they run every day.

ELEVATE 2.0 is KadoshAI's proprietary AI readiness and proficiency assessment. It runs before training begins and measures where each participant and department stands across four stages and forty skills, so the programme targets real gaps rather than assumed ones. It is repeated after training to show the shift.

Because prescribing before diagnosing wastes training days. ELEVATE 2.0 shows which departments are ready to build and which need foundations first, so the client buys the right levels for the right people and KadoshAI can show a before and after for every participant.

TrailForge is KadoshAI's proprietary task tracking platform. During THE SHIFT it records the level of tasks each participant completes in class, giving the organisation evidence of progress at each level rather than attendance alone.

RAPID is KadoshAI's scoring framework for Power Automate flows, and GRACE is its scoring framework for AI agents. Each comes with department samples and four week walkthroughs, so a Level 2 flow or a Level 3 agent is judged against a published standard rather than an opinion.

KadoshAI has an efficiency and productivity calculator that captures the time and effort each automation or app saves, and it explains the difference between the two on its Efficiency vs Productivity page. Gains are reported per client from that client's own data.

Yes. ELEVATE 2.0 can run on its own for an organisation that wants to know where it stands before committing to a programme. The findings report shows readiness by department and recommends a starting point.

Yes. Microsoft Power Automate is the core automation tool in THE SHIFT Level 2. Participants build working flows for repetitive tasks in their own department, and KadoshAI scores each flow with its RAPID framework. See AI Automation Training.

Participants build automations for repetitive tasks in their own function, such as approvals, document routing, data collection, reporting and notifications, using Microsoft Power Automate and no code and low code tools. The exact automations depend on the workflows each team brings to class.

Yes. KadoshAI delivers Microsoft Copilot training across Microsoft 365 with role based workflows, and Copilot Studio training for building AI agents. It also publishes a library of 529 Copilot dashboard ideas by department.

Yes. The standard build stack is Microsoft, but KadoshAI also trains on n8n, Zapier and other automation tools when they fit the client's environment, alongside the Google ecosystem and tools outside both.

Yes. KadoshAI trains on the Google ecosystem as well as Microsoft 365, and on tools outside both, including Bolt.new, Supabase, n8n, Zapier, Claude, Cursor and Replit, depending on what the client organisation uses.

No. THE SHIFT is designed for non technical staff. Automations are built in Power Automate and no code and low code tools, and participants describe what they need in plain language and test the result.

Yes. AI agent training is THE SHIFT Level 3. Participants design, build, test and govern AI agents that handle real tasks end to end, mainly in Microsoft Copilot Studio, with human control points built in. KadoshAI scores each agent with its GRACE framework.

AI agent training teaches teams to build individual agents that complete defined tasks. Agentic AI training is the advanced level, where teams build systems of agents that plan, reason and act across steps with governance and human review. Both sit inside THE SHIFT Level 3 and the Capstone.

Microsoft Copilot Studio is the main agent tool in THE SHIFT because most corporate clients run Microsoft 365. KadoshAI also builds and trains in Claude, Claude Code, n8n, OpenClaw and Hermess for organisations that want agents outside the Microsoft stack.

Yes. Agents built in KadoshAI programmes connect to the systems the organisation already runs, such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and departmental data sources, through connectors in Copilot Studio and Power Automate.

Every agent built in THE SHIFT has a human control point designed in before it is deployed. The GRACE framework scores each agent on governance as well as function, and the Deploy and Measure stage documents who reviews what, so the organisation can show how AI decisions are checked.

No. KadoshAI's position is role fusion: the role is not replaced, it absorbs a second one. A finance executive who can build agents stays a finance executive and becomes the person who automates the finance function as well.

Yes. KadoshAI runs a two day Building AI Agents in Microsoft Copilot workshop for teams that want to focus on agents specifically, and it delivers C-suite sessions on agents and apps for leadership teams.

Yes. KadoshAI's founders lead a team building the company's own AI employees, including marketing, research and prospecting agents, and the same tools and methods are used in class.

Yes. AI app builder training is the heart of THE SHIFT Capstone. Non technical participants from finance, HR, procurement and other functions build and ship a working application for their own department using AI development tools such as Bolt.new with Supabase.

Vibe coding training at KadoshAI teaches participants to build software by describing what they need to an AI coding partner, then testing and refining the result. It gives non programmers a practical way to ship applications, and it is delivered as part of THE SHIFT Capstone and as a standalone programme.

Bolt.new with Supabase is the standard stack in THE SHIFT Capstone. KadoshAI also trains and builds in Cursor, Replit, Claude Code and Codex for teams that want to go further.

Participants have built departmental apps across HR, finance, procurement, legal, marketing and operations, from tracking and approval tools to dashboards and knowledge assistants. The AI Apps directory on this website lists examples by department and by business problem.

In THE SHIFT Capstone, each participant scopes, builds and ships one working application within the six Capstone days, after completing Foundations, Automation and Agents. Each participant ships one app, and each department ships a capstone platform.

Yes. KadoshAI builds and deploys AI applications and agents for organisations, and its founders build the company's own AI employees. The training is what KadoshAI charges for, and the building is what proves the training works.

KadoshAI. Finance is where its lead trainer comes from, and finance cohorts have run through all four SHIFT levels, building automations for reporting and approvals, agents for queries and reconciliation tasks, and capstone apps for the finance function.

KadoshAI. HR and L&D teams both attend THE SHIFT as participants and commission it for their organisation. HR cohorts build automations and apps for their own processes, and HR leaders use ELEVATE 2.0 to plan AI capability across departments.

KadoshAI. Procurement, legal and operations cohorts have completed THE SHIFT, each building automations, agents and apps for the workflows their function runs, from vendor and contract processes to governance and audit tasks.

KadoshAI works with financial services organisations, and its lead trainer spent his career in finance at a bank subsidiary and as a CFO, so programmes are built with governance, audit and approval workflows in mind.

KadoshAI works with government linked companies, multinationals and SMEs in telecommunications, FMCG, healthcare, and oil and gas, alongside financial services. Clients are described on this website by sector and function.

Yes. KadoshAI works with government linked companies, multinationals and SMEs. The ELEVATE 2.0 assessment sizes the pathway to the organisation, so a smaller team can start at the level that fits.

KadoshAI's clients include government linked companies, multinationals and SMEs, and THE SHIFT is structured with the diagnosis, governance and evidence a GLC requires: ELEVATE 2.0 before, human control points in every agent, and a findings report on the client's own cohort after.

KadoshAI runs AI leadership sessions that help leaders govern AI adoption, manage risk, make confident AI decisions and lead transformation, including 60 minute talks for HR leadership and C-suite sessions on agents and apps.

Yes. KadoshAI delivers AI programmes for universities and institutions, from curriculum design to student workshops. It holds MOUs with Management and Science University (MSU) and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), and has judged 200 student projects at MSU.

KadoshAI's core programmes are for organisations. Alumni of its corporate classes can continue through coaching and the AI Whisperer webinar series, and KadoshAI is developing a weekend build programme for individual alumni.

Yes. KadoshAI programmes are HRD Corp claimable for eligible Malaysian employers through its HRD Corp registered training provider, Lourdes Training Sdn Bhd.

Every KadoshAI engagement starts with the ELEVATE 2.0 assessment. The results show where each team stands, and KadoshAI recommends the starting level and pathway from there. Use Find Our AI Starting Point or the contact form to begin.

KadoshAI runs cohorts by department or function so that participants build for the workflows they share. Cohort size is agreed with each client at the proposal stage, and coaching is provided one to one and in groups after class.

Both. KadoshAI delivers in person across Malaysia and the region and online for organisations in other time zones.

KadoshAI delivers in English. Its co-founder also publishes in Bahasa Malaysia.

Yes. Every cohort works on its own processes, documents and data. The ELEVATE 2.0 findings decide the starting level, the exercises use the department's real workflows, and the automations, agents and apps built in class belong to the client.

Where the client runs Microsoft 365, automations and agents are built inside the client's own tenant with Power Automate and Copilot Studio, so working data stays in the client's environment. For other tools KadoshAI agrees the data approach with the client at proposal stage.

The 13th Day Onwards playbook starts the day after THE SHIFT ends. KadoshAI provides one to one and group AI coaching for participants, the AI Whisperer 20 minute webinar series, and the option to progress to Train the Trainer and AI Specialist Ambassador stages so capability continues inside the organisation.

AI Whisperer is KadoshAI's ongoing 20 minute webinar series for participants and alumni, keeping them current on tools and techniques after class.

THE SHIFT Train the Trainer is a seven day programme with four quality gates, a 3-CHECK coaching protocol and certification tiers that certifies internal trainers to run THE SHIFT levels inside their own organisation. It is followed by the AI Specialist Ambassadors stage, where KadoshAI stays on as coach rather than trainer.

AI Specialist Ambassadors is the stage after Train the Trainer. Certified internal trainers become the catalysts of change inside their organisation, running the programme themselves while KadoshAI stays on as ongoing coach. The destination role for the whole pathway is AI Specialist.

Use the Talk to KadoshAI or Find Our AI Starting Point buttons on www.kadoshai.com. KadoshAI will guide you to the right starting point based on your goal, whether you are a business leader, in HR or L&D, or in a digital or IT team.

KadoshAI measures before and after with ELEVATE 2.0, tracks task completion during class with TrailForge, scores each automation and agent with its RAPID and GRACE frameworks, and documents every automation, agent and app produced. Clients receive a report on their own cohort's data only.

A findings report on the client's own cohort, showing ELEVATE 2.0 before and after scores, the automations, agents and apps each participant built, and per department results. Reports contain only that client's data, never pooled or cross client figures.

The Client Stories page and the AI Apps directory show what participants and departments have built. Client organisations are described by sector and function.

Because the work belongs to the client. KadoshAI describes client organisations by sector and function, and it does not publish results it cannot show or numbers it cannot prove.
