Everyone Can Build Now. Almost No One Gets Noticed.
Viltrum AI London Fellowship will back three people with £7,500 each in AI usage, plus 90 days of hands-on help from our team, to build an audience from scratch.
On 30 October at Zone29 in London, we’re running a one-day session on how attention works online and how to earn it with the help of AI. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear idea of what you want to be known for and your first pieces of content. Three people will be chosen to work with us for the following 90 days.
Entry is by application only, and seats are very limited.
Why this matters
A few years ago, building a website, an app or a month of social media posts took a small team several weeks. Today, one person with AI tools can do it in an afternoon. As a result, more products and posts appear every day than anyone could ever look at. In the first half of 2026, twice as many new apps launched on the App Store as a year earlier, while the number of downloads barely changed.
When everyone can make things quickly, people who already have an audience have a big head start. They can launch a product, find clients or attract sponsors because people are already listening to them. For a long time, building that audience took years and a marketing budget. AI now lets one person research, write, film and publish at a pace that used to need a team.
On 30 October, we’ll walk you through how we do this at Viltrum, and you’ll spend the afternoon doing it yourself with our team beside you.
The day
A five-hour session at Zone29, run with Viltrum AI.
1. Panel: AI for marketing intelligence
Three people who use AI inside real companies explain how it is changing the way they measure results, predict demand, run experiments and make decisions.
2. Workshop: how we build personal brands with AI
We show you how AI tools help us research a topic, write and produce content, and improve it based on how people respond. Then we turn one creative idea into a content and growth plan you could start on the next morning.
3. Hands-on time with Viltrum
You spend two hours working out your positioning (the topic you want to be known for, and who it’s for) and making your first content, with the Viltrum team in the room to help.
4. The competition
Everyone in the room takes part. We’ll explain the challenge, and how we pick the three winners, on the day. At the end, we announce the three people we’ll back for 90 days.

Who should apply
This day suits you if you’d like to build an audience from nothing, grow one you’ve already started, or see how AI can speed that work up. It also suits people who are curious about how attention works online and want to try it for themselves.
You can come without any followers, a fixed topic or technical skills. Many people arrive unsure what they want to be known for, and the workshop is designed to help with exactly that.
If you’re chosen as a Fellow, we’ll ask you to set aside real time each week for the 90 days and to appear on camera.
Please bring your own laptop, as you’ll need it for the competition.
How to get a seat
Every seat is given out by application. We read each application as it comes in and choose the people we think will get the most out of the day. You’ll hear back within 48 hours, or within 24 hours as the deadline gets closer.
Seats tend to go quickly, so it helps to apply early. Once every seat is taken, new applicants join a waitlist.
Applications close on 28 October.
