Layer Zero Studios — alive
For business owners and operators who want working AI capability — not noise, not theory, not another slide deck.
Layer Zero Academy
R1,399 per person — typically less than one day’s productivity cost. You leave with a working AI system you use the next morning. Half-day format, zero maths, zero slides, zero fluff.
What we offer
Selected work
Custom software for businesses that want to operate at a level their competitors can't match — plus products born from patterns we've proven.
“The operating system replaced three separate tools and cut our admin time by roughly 40% within the first month.”
Early build client, 2026
Why Layer Zero
We don’t port US tools to SA and hope. We build for ZAR, SA public holidays, Brevo deliverability, and the payment rails you already use.
We don’t deliver and disappear. We run the platform your business depends on — hosting, monitoring, bug fixes, and improvements, included in the license.
Website, bookings, payments, communications, admin, invoicing — one product, one point of contact. No patchwork toolchain that breaks when one integration changes.
Every client in the same category benefits from patterns proven elsewhere. Your OS gets better every quarter, included in the license.
The studio runs on AI tooling from pitch to production — faster delivery, lower cost, and quality a traditional agency can’t match at the same price point.
How it works
No long sales cycles. No procurement dance. Choose the path that fits, pay securely, and start operating on a better system.
Choose Academy, a build, or a product. We’ll map your current workflow in a free 15-minute call if you’re unsure.
Academy seats are R1,399 via secure checkout. Builds quote once — no hidden hourly creep. Products are listed with fixed pricing.
For Academy: arrive at 08:30, build from 09:00–13:00, leave with a system. For builds: we deliver in 2–10 weeks depending on scope. For products: instant access.
Pricing
Two parts: a once-off onboarding fee to build and deploy your system, and a monthly license for hosting, support, and ongoing improvements. Exact numbers depend on scope — book a call for a quote.

FAQ
You own your data — always. Layer Zero retains ownership of the platform and licenses you access, like a manufacturer maintaining the car while you drive it. Your data stays yours and is exportable at any time.
Hosting and infrastructure, uptime monitoring, bug fixes, security patches, minor copy/content updates, email support, and OS-wide improvements as they’re released.
New features, new modules, major redesigns, or custom development requests — those are scoped and quoted separately from the license.
Typically 2–10 weeks depending on scope, from a simple marketing site up to a full operational dashboard. We’ll give you a real timeline after a discovery call.
If your build isn’t delivering as agreed, we fix it within the license — no extra charge for remediation within scope. If it’s genuinely not working for you, we review the engagement before you commit further.
Platform access is suspended after a grace period, but your data always remains available for export — you’re never locked out of what’s yours.
We’ll map your current workflow in a 15-minute call and show you exactly where AI fits. No pitch, no pressure — just a plain plan you can take or leave.
