01 · Speaking

Keynotes for rooms tired of AI hype.

Most rooms walk in skeptical, or sure they're already behind. I start there. Leaders walk out knowing where to start.

1

Hire Your First AI Employee

02 · Train your audience

I build it with your audience. Then they build their own.

"You don't have to know how to build the automation or the agent. You need to know how to think about it. I'll show you both."

Laptops open

Their own work on the screen. They leave with something running, plus the judgment to catch it when it's wrong, and one rule from me. Use it 30 minutes a day, minimum.

Hands-on build

Your audience leaves with one working AI system.

  1. Step 1

    Say the fear

    Your people keep the judgment. AI takes on the repetitive steps.

  2. Step 2

    Write the job

    If you hired an assistant, what would they need to know? That's where every AI employee starts.

  3. Step 3

    Build one

    Together, on real work from your own business.

Boot camp

A focused build around one role your business needs filled.

Want us to build it inside your company?

My team does the technical build, inside the software you already use.

What we've built ↓

Sound familiar?

  1. Everyone else is moving and we're behind.

  2. We tried AI and connected our apps. Nothing stuck.

  3. I know we could streamline it. I just don't know how.

  4. My team is scared of it.

  5. I don't know where to start, or who to trust.

1 / 5

Not sure where to start? We read the whole business first, then my team builds the fixes in order of return and stays to run them.
