​In this free, hands-on workshop, you'll build your own AI Chief of Staff, designed to help you think, prioritize, plan, and execute.

​No coding required. No technical experience required.

​Just bring your laptop and your actual workload. We're building something you can use immediately.

​WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

​Build Your Chief of Staff

​Learn how to:

• ​define exactly what your Chief of Staff should help you with

• ​decide what it should and shouldn't handle

• ​give it clear responsibilities

• ​create instructions that produce consistent, useful results

​Give It The Context It Needs

​We'll cover how to:

• ​teach it about your role, goals, priorities, and responsibilities

• ​give it the context it needs without repeating yourself constantly

• ​share examples of how you like to work and communicate

• ​organize the information it should reference regularly

​Put Your Chief of Staff To Work

​Use it to help you:

• ​prioritize competing tasks

• ​plan your day or week

• ​prepare for meetings

• ​turn brain dumps into action plans

• ​organize projects and next steps

• ​draft emails and follow-ups

• ​pressure-test decisions

• ​identify what you may be overlooking

​Make It A Thinking Partner

​Learn how to:

• ​tell your Chief of Staff to challenge you instead of automatically agreeing

• ​identify gaps and weak assumptions in your thinking

• ​improve its instructions when the results aren't strong enough

• ​entrepreneurs

• ​executives

• ​freelancers

• ​consultants

• ​anyone who constantly feels like they're keeping too much in their head

​You don't need an actual Chief of Staff to start working like you have one.

​WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

​By the end of the session, you'll have:

• ​your own working AI Chief of Staff

• ​personalized instructions based on how you work

• ​a framework for giving AI better context
