Find
the oasis.
A year of building with AI every day, written up as a learning series: the tools that earned their keep, the traps, and where the water actually is. For developers and product owners who want to be happier using AI — not fewer of them.
Taught by Jason McMunn, who built the factory.

§ 01 Four ways to learn
Happier with AI, not fewer of you. Four ways to get there.
A learning series for developers and product owners, the method taught to partner teams on their own work, a free session for community groups, and a tutor that travels with you. Pick the one that fits the room.
Finding the Oasis
Four half-day modules for developers and product owners, shaped around what your team actually builds.
Train your team
The agentic method, taught to your agency or dev shop on its own work. By arrangement.
Community session
A free one-hour version for Women in Tech and similar groups. Ask, and we'll bring the map.
Learn on your own
Certification track coming
A tutor in the Oasis plugin for Claude Code: ask it to teach you the background of Oasis and how the method works.
§ 02 Finding the Oasis
Three areas. Four half-days. Your team's own work on the table.
A year of building with AI every day, written up: what earned its keep, what didn't, and where the water is. Every module is hands-on, and the examples come from what your team is building.
- 01
Quality across the lifecycle
For developers. Where AI raises the bar instead of lowering it, from the first requirement to the definition of done.
- Requirements refinement before a line is written
- Tests, docs and the definition of done, authored alongside the code
- Cost-effective agents for the bulk of the work, interlaced with stronger models for adversarial review
- 02
AI built into what you ship
For developers and product owners. Not one big model bolted on the side: small AI in many places, and a product that agents can use.
- Small AI in many places, each one earning its keep
- Agentic interfaces, beside the screens you already have
- Opening your platform to agentic consumers — MCP and A2A
- 03
The work worth changing
For product owners. How to spot the work AI should take, and how to carry the people around you.
- Repetitive work, and data that arrives in inconsistent shapes
- The art of the possible: what's real today, what isn't yet
- Meeting stakeholders on their own AI journey
Four half-day modules. The mix is set with your team beforehand and shaped around what they're building.
§ 03 Who teaches it
Taught by the person who built the factory.
Jason McMunn spent a year building Oasis Factory with AI every day — agents authoring, humans gating, skeptics attacking, receipts shipping. Finding the Oasis is the write-up of what he learned along the way: the tools that earned their keep, the traps, and where the water actually is.
He walked through the method, and what it changed, on the Tech Council.

§ 04 Train your team
The method, taught on your own work.
Agents author, humans gate, skeptics attack, receipts ship. We teach it to your developers and product owners on the project in front of them, by arrangement — and there are lighter ways in.
- For partner teams
- Your agency or dev shop learns the method on real work, with us beside you from the first story. By arrangement, as part of a partnership. For dev shops For agencies
- A community session
- A free one-hour version of Finding the Oasis for Women in Tech and similar groups: the map, the traps, and where the water is. Ask, and we'll come.
- Learn on your own
- The Oasis plugin for Claude Code ships with a tutor. Ask it to teach you the background of Oasis — how we build, why the gates sit where they do — and work through it at your own pace.
- Certification coming
- A track for people who have run the method and want it on the record. Not built yet; we'll say so here when it is.
§ 05 Plan a session
Bring the team. We'll bring the map.
Tell us who's in the room — developers, product owners, or both — and what they're building. We'll shape the four half-days around it, set up a community session, or point you at the tutor. Nothing on this page is a quote; that's the first conversation.
