# What is Bootcamp?

> Selfe's eight-week, hands-on programme: Selfe's own team working directly with a business to get its whole Selfe properly configured, on the business's existing systems.

## In short

- Bootcamp is Selfe's eight-week, done-with-you setup programme, run on a business's existing systems.
- It ends with a working, bookable setup and a business's own automation running it, not a fixed product it has to keep paying for immediately.

Good for: A business that wants its Selfe configured properly, hands-on, in eight weeks. Not good for: A business that wants to do it themselves at their own pace, self-serve Selfe is built for that instead.

It's the done-with-you version of setting up Selfe, not a separate product. A business keeps the booking or storefront system it already runs; over eight weeks, Selfe's team connects it, checks the result against a live buyability score, and hands over a business that's checkable and bookable by an AI agent, with its own automation running day to day by the end. Selfe itself is free to use for the eight weeks; a business continues on whichever plan fits once the programme finishes.
