Build Your First AI Team Member
Most people use AI one of two ways.
Open a fresh tab, type a prompt, get an answer, close it — smart, but a stranger every time. Or keep a single thread alive forever because it's finally caught how you work — captured, but stuck in one place doing too many roles at once.
There's so much more.
You can build a dedicated space for one role — content, admin, research, whatever you most need help with — and load it with the context it needs: your business, your standards, your voice. That's the first layer: custom instructions. From there: connected tools (your calendar, inbox, CRM, docs). Then skills — workflows you run over and over, fired by a single command. Then scheduled tasks that just happen on their own.
I run all four across my own business. In 90 minutes, we'll build the foundation of one for you — custom instructions for your first AI team member, in your voice, ready to play with immediately. I'll also show you what's connected, what runs on command, and what runs on its own.
The exercise: about 15 minutes, guided by a prompt I'll provide. You bring your business context. You leave with a working AI team member.
Who it's for: Solopreneurs and small business owners ready to stop having a stranger in their AI tab. No technical background needed. Bring a laptop and an AI tool you can use today — Claude Pro is what I'll demo; the foundation works in ChatGPT and others too.
You'll walk out with one specialist built — and a clear map of what to build next.
