Where most people are with AI.
Everybody I talk to is talking about AI. Almost nobody knows where to go for help with it.
NowAfter the workshop
ChatGPT, used like a search engine.
A Claude project that knows your business, so you stop explaining yourself every time.
Generic answers, so you gave up or put up with them.
You know how to give AI the context it needs, so the answers are specific to you and worth using.
You don't know where it fits your job.
You've seen it handle the inbox, the quotes and the follow-ups, and you know which parts of your job to hand it first.
AI in a browser tab. Your work in Outlook, Xero and the quoting sheet.
Claude in your inbox, your calendar and your files, doing the work where it sits.
No time to work it out.
Four years of me working out what to hand to AI and what to keep, in three hours.
Look at this. It's what my voice-to-text app says I am, worked out from nearly 700,000 words of me talking to AI. Its take on how I approach everything.
That's four years of working it out. Save yourself the four years and come for three hours.
You will learn how to.
01
Set up a project for your business
So Claude knows who you are, what you sell and how you talk to customers, and you stop explaining yourself.
02
Build your first skill
A job you explain once, done your way every time after. Built from something you did this week.
03
Talk instead of type
I dictate at 156 words a minute, in every app I use. On its own, about 10% of your week back.
04
Connect your email and calendar
So it can read what's come in and draft what goes out, with a few limits I'll explain on the day.
05
Run your projects the way I do
The two free tools I run my business on, and how to pick the one that suits you. This is where most of last year's 50% came from.
06
Turn a meeting into actions
A conversation recorded on a phone becomes a task list and the follow-up email, in the time it takes to make a coffee.
07
Triage your inbox
Sorted, with replies drafted for you to approve, before you open it.
08
Size up a new enquiry before you quote it
What was asked for, what it's worth, whether to take it.
Tim put me onto Wispr Flow, a tool that never crossed my mind and probably wouldn’t have without his recommendation. I use it daily now, whether I’m drafting a work email, logging progress notes, or spitballing film essay ideas out loud. Typing has started to feel obsolete. It works really well on both computer and phone, and it’s been a genuine game changer.
Who it's for.
Anyone who works at a computer, whose week has repetitive work in it, and who's allowed to change how it's done. If you want to check first, read who it's not for.
The person who gets handed everything 
No experience needed Ever set up a skill or a project? If not, you're exactly who this is for.
If the answer is no, you're using AI as a chatbot, and that's where nearly everyone in the room will be starting from.
Any industry Built for every kind of business.
Everyone in the room runs something different, so we work on what every business has: the inbox, the calendar, the quotes, the follow-ups. The 90-day engagement is where it gets specific to yours.
The bottom line
20% more productive by the time you're back at your desk.
That's the goal, and what I'll be asking you about afterwards. Ten percent is the low end of what I've seen, and that's half a day a week. Twenty is a full day. Drag the slider to what your time is worth and see what that comes to.
What your time is worth $80,000

The guarantee.
If the first half hasn't been worth the money, leave at the break and I'll refund you in full.
You don't have to explain. Say so on your way out and it's back on your card that afternoon. Ninety minutes is long enough to know whether this is for you, and I'd rather refund you than have you sit through the second half out of politeness.
Questions.
When is it?
There's no date yet. Once enough people have registered I'll email everyone on the list with a date and a time, and you decide then. Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
What do I get for registering?
The early bird price and first look. When the date goes out, people who registered buy a seat for $97, and anyone who hears about it afterwards pays $197. Numbers are limited and registered people hear first, so you're far less likely to miss out. If you don't register, you get neither.
What if I can't make the date when it comes?
You stay registered. You keep the early bird for the next one, and you'll hear about it the same way.
Do I need to bring anything?
No. Nothing to bring and nothing to install beforehand. Afterwards, a paid Claude plan is about $30 a month, and the tools you'll keep using come to about $50 a month all up. If that's a problem, this isn't for you yet.
What if I get there and it's not for me?
Leave at the break and I'll refund you in full. You don't have to explain. The guarantee.
Doesn't it make things up?
When it does, that's on you. You haven't given it the context it needs to be specific, and you haven't told it to check its own work. Both are things you'll be doing before the break.
I don't want it reading my email.
Fair, and the privacy worry is justified. There are settings that stop Claude training on your information, and we turn them on. Beyond that it's the same deal as your phone, Siri or Google Home: convenience costs some privacy, and you decide how much. If you don't want the convenience, don't connect it. But the gain is in the connecting.
Won't it lower the quality of my work?
Not if you give it good context. Emails, research, instructions, video: with the right context it produces good work, and without it, generic work. If your results are poor, the fix is your inputs, and that's most of what the day teaches.
I can type. Why would I dictate?
Because you type at about 50 words a minute and you talk at three times that. I dictate at 156 words a minute, which puts me in the top 0.1% of the app's users, and I've put 665,000 words through it so far: six books' worth, across 13,000 prompts, 2,800 emails and 228 different apps. It's how I write everything, texts included. That on its own is where the first 10% comes from, and you give better context because you're not labouring over the words.
Isn't this for big companies?
No. I'm a one-person business and AI added close to 50% to my revenue last year, through communication and project management, and I'm saving more time this year than last. This works for anyone who spends their day at a desk.
Isn't AI just automation?
Some of it. AI is good at rigid, step-by-step jobs, and you'll set one up on the day. The bigger gain is in the work that isn't rigid: writing, sorting, deciding, quoting. That's where most of your week goes.
Will there be a point where it feels like a waste of time?
Yes, and I'll tell you so on the day. Everyone I've helped has hit a patch where it felt slower than the old way. The florist did, my brother the landscaper did. It passes, you get better at asking, and the people who push through are the ones who end up upgrading their plan because it's earning its keep. The people who stop drift back to how they worked before. That's the real risk, not the tool.
Why is it so cheap?
Because the workshop is how people find out whether they want to work with me. If you leave with something running and want it across your whole team, we'll talk about an engagement. If you don't, you've still got Claude set up and a few skills for the price of a dinner.
Is this the same as working with you one-on-one?
No. The workshop is generic and it's a room. The engagement is three months inside your business, with the people who have the most to gain, measured against a baseline. Most businesses that engage me have someone come to a workshop first.
Why Claude and not ChatGPT?
Because the point is connecting AI to your actual work, and Claude's tools for that are the best I've used. It reads your email, your files and your calendar, it runs skills you write in plain English, and it does what you tell it without wandering off. I use it all day. I'm not going to teach you something I don't use.
I'm not technical. Will I keep up?
The room is built for non-technical people. If you can write an email you can write a skill. The technical bit at the end is optional.
Can I send a staff member instead of coming myself?
Yes, and it's often the better choice. Send the person who'd actually use it every day. Then come to the next one yourself.
Is it online?
Not this one. The first workshops are in person in Clare. If it works, I'll run them in Adelaide and regional towns, and online for the people who can't get to either.
Register.
Numbers will be limited. No date yet and nothing to pay. Once enough people have registered I'll email a date and time, and registered people get two things: the $97 early bird price instead of $197, and first look at the seats, so if it books out you're far less likely to miss out. Can't make that date? You stay on the list for the next one.

The guaranteeNot worth it by the break? Leave, and I'll refund you in full.
You're registered. I'll email you a date and time once there are enough people, and you'll get the early bird price when you do.
