AI is supposed to save you time. So why does it still feel like you're doing everything yourself?That's the difference between "using AI" and having AI systems. This course gets you there.In five weeks, you'll build custom voices, AI projects, and automation workflows you'll use every day. I used these systems to go from 40 to 20 hours/week on marketing work while growing from $18k to $25k MRR.Here's what you'll gain from this course:→ Know exactly when to use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini - and which other tools are worth your time→ Stop rewriting AI drafts - get content that sounds like you out of the gate→ Create content and campaigns faster with AI projects that have your briefs, audience research, and brand guidelines→ Stop losing afternoons to follow-ups, meeting notes, and reporting - build workflows that handle repetitive stuff automatically→ Turn transcripts and research into clear customer insights in under 1 hour→ Give your team an AI system to work from so you're not fixing everything yourselfYour AI tools will know your brand, audience, and how you like to work. What used to take half a day will take an hour. And the time you lost to execution will finally be free.

Stop drowning in execution. Build AI systems that save you 5-10 hours per week.

Reclaim 5-10 hours weekly by systematizing the executional work that drowns you

Stop wondering if you're using AI the right way - and get ahead of it

Finally cut through AI tool FOMO and build your focused tech stack

Ship customer-centric content that actually sounds like your brand (not ChatGPT)

Get customer insights & strategy feedback you couldn't get on your own

Build delegation systems so others execute at your quality level

You should be able to apply your projects to the day-to-day work you need to save time on

Active work to apply AI systems to

In-House Startup Marketerswho are doing the work of a full team, and leadership assumes AI can fix that. You need systems to make it true.

Consultants &amp; Fractional Executiveswith clients who want faster &amp; cheaper work because "AI can do it." You need systems to make it happen.

Solo Operators Wearing Multiple Hatswho handle everything with no team to hand off to. You need infrastructure that works when you're not.

This is not a theory session. You will design and prototype real AI-native workflows for investments.

Build your fund's Investment OS in a single 4-hour live session. Sun Aug 23, 9am–1pm PT

You arrive with an empty folder. Four hours later you have a screening agent that knows your thesis, a command that drafts cited IC memos in under a minute, and a package your partners can install with one line. Not slides about it. It, on your laptop. Most investors use AI as a faster intern. It summarises. It drafts. Then the tab closes and everything it learned about your last hundred deals evaporates. A system is different: it remembers, it runs without being asked, it reaches into your stack, and it shows its work. That is the gap this workshop closes, in one sitting.<ul><li>AI-first funds screen and evaluate 3–5x more deals</li><li>Associates who structure AI workflows, spend time on judgment, not formatting</li></ul>The Before/After transformation you can expect<ul><li>Before: You spend 20+ hours/week manually triaging emails, parsing data rooms, and drafting memos that miss critical signals</li><li>After : You run one command that extracts data, simulates an IC-style debate, and drafts your first memo while you focus on final judgment</li></ul>

Cohort 12

This course is for AI-curious professionals who are tired of LLMs hallucinating about their own business data. You’ve used the big bots, but you’re ready for a tool that stays grounded in your specific files, not the entire internet.You should pull up a chair if you are:<ul><li>An overwhelmed researcher or lead sitting on a pile of unread PDFs and half-baked notes.</li><li>A solutions-oriented builder who needs to turn raw data into interactive podcasts, briefing docs, and infographics without the usual tech headache.</li><li>A busy professional who has played with NotebookLM but wants a structured way to master the non-intuitive interface and see what else it can actually do.</li></ul>We are looking for active builders who already have a basic handle on how to talk to a bot. We won’t be covering "Prompting 101" here, we are diving straight into building a Knowledge Engine that actually talks back.This is not for the AI absolute beginner or anyone looking for a tool to browse the web for generic answers. This is for the person who wants to tame information chaos and turn their personal library into a competitive advantage.

AI-native builder helping you become one

I take AI from pilot to production — strategist, operator, builder.

Every day you bookmark something because it sparked something — a post, an article, a role that felt like your next move. Each is a small intention: one you meant to come back to.Most weeks, you don't. A low-grade anxiety sets in — that quiet sense of unfinished business. Not because you don't care, but because you have no system to turn intention into action. And the more intentions you leave behind, the less you trust yourself. Your confidence erodes.The Lightning Session was where this started: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://maven.com/p/be8554/turn-linked-in-saved-posts-into-your-weekly-action-system">https://maven.com/p/be8554/turn-linked-in-saved-posts-into-your-weekly-action-system</a>This workshop is where the one-time fix becomes a system. In four hours, live, you'll build a personal AI operating system in Claude Code — a multi-agent system that:<ul><li>Remembers you and learns from you</li><li>Follows up and keeps you honest</li><li>Helps you research, think, and write</li><li>Tracks what works and what it costs</li><li>Shows you're becoming who you want to be</li></ul>You'll own every design decision — the why, the how, the technical build. Not just use AI, but build with it.Welcome to the system you're building — one that learns you and moves you toward who you want to become. All you have to do is begin.

Same saves. Different you — someone who acts with intention, builds toward what they want, and can speak to every decision they made.

Stop collecting ambitions. Start building toward them.

Build a personal learning system that compounds.

Learn the method, not just the use case.

From why to how — design, build, and own your personal operating system.

Know what works, what it costs, and how to improve.

Earn a resume line. Build a portfolio piece. Own the room.

Install Claude Code or Codex before the session. Build live, leave with a working system. Set up first so you hit the ground running.

Claude Code Pro subscription or equivalent (ChatGPT Codex)

LinkedIn saved posts via Chrome extension is easiest. Browser bookmarks, Medium & Substack exports work too. Bring whatever you have saved.

Saved content you can export — LinkedIn, bookmarks, or reading lists

Career reinventor: Reimagining what's next, inspired and ready to move. Needs a system that turns saves into a path forward

Expert seeking visibility: You have the depth. Ready to be seen for it. A POV, a portfolio, and the habit of showing up in your own voice.

Independent operator: LinkedIn is your pipeline. Every save is a potential client or collaborator. You need a system that follows through
