A practical guide to working with an AI assistant every day, based on months of real experience, not theory
Most AI courses teach you how to write clever prompts. This one teaches you how to work with an AI assistant that handles real tasks in your business, every day.
What you’ll learn
- Set up an AI assistant that knows your business, your preferences, and how you work.
- Delegate real tasks — email, research, content, websites — and get useful results back.
- Build your assistant’s memory so it stops asking the same questions twice.
- Turn repeating workflows into permanent skills your assistant follows consistently.
- Automate routine tasks like morning reports, monitoring, and data processing.
- Spot when AI is guessing vs. when it actually knows — the confidence problem is real.
- Manage costs so your AI assistant pays for itself instead of surprising you with bills.
- Decide what to automate, what needs your approval, and what should stay human-only.

Requirements
Most AI courses teach you how to write clever prompts. This one teaches you how to work with an AI assistant that handles real tasks in your business, every day.
I’ve spent the last several months with an AI assistant managing my email, writing marketing copy, maintaining my websites, running ad campaigns, publishing books, compiling newsletters, and posting to social media. Not as a demo. Not as an experiment. As part of how I actually run my business.
This course is everything I’ve learned about making that work.
What makes this different?
Every lesson comes from real experience. When I teach you about giving your assistant memory, it’s because I went through the process of figuring out what it needs to remember and what it doesn’t. When I talk about automation, I’ll show you the actual tasks my assistant runs on a schedule. When I cover mistakes, they’re mistakes I actually made — including one where my assistant accidentally emailed 2,800 people.
You won’t learn prompt engineering tricks. You’ll learn how to build a working relationship with an AI that saves you hours every week.
What you’ll walk away with:
After this course, you’ll know how to teach an AI assistant about your business, delegate work to it effectively, build its knowledge over time, and automate the tedious parts of your day. You’ll also know exactly where AI falls short, so you don’t waste time on tasks it can’t handle.
This course is platform-agnostic. The principles work whether you’re using ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, or whatever comes next. AI tools change fast; the skills for working with them don’t.
