Your AI forgets you. Every single morning.
You open a chat. You paste in who you are, what the project is, how you like things written. You get a decent answer. Tomorrow you do it all again. That is not an assistant, it is a stranger with a good vocabulary. In three live hours you build a co-pilot: something that already knows your context, runs your methods on command, and keeps working when you close the laptop.
The gap nobody warns you about
The model got smarter.
Your setup didn’t.
Every release is more capable than the last, and almost nobody changes how they work to match. You still start from a blank chat, still paste the same background, still explain your standards from scratch. The capability went up; the plumbing stayed at zero — and the gap between people who fixed that and people who did not is now visible in a week’s output.
One question, one answer, close the tab. You've never handed it a whole task and stayed in charge of it.
ChatGPT here, a doc there, a spreadsheet, an email. The AI never touches the actual system your work lives in.
The AI built into your Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace can do far more than the one thing you occasionally ask it for.
You re-explain your role, your clients, your context every single time. Nothing you tell it ever sticks or compounds.
So you double-check everything and save no time — or you paste it raw and quietly become part of the AI-slop problem.
Everything is manual, every time. Not one workflow that does the boring 80% while you're in a meeting.
The pressure is real, not hype ↓
Why this is urgent
The cost of starting
from zero, daily.
Stop re-explaining yourself to a chatbot.

This is not an AI-101
You don’t need another tool.
You need one that remembers.
Build Always-On Co-Pilots uses the tools already on your laptop and changes what sits behind them: context it always reads, methods it keeps, connections to the things it needs to see, and a schedule so it runs without you. No new subscriptions. No theory dumps. Three live hours on your own work, with a coach catching the fumble in the moment.
The shift
From a chat box
to a co-pilot.
The difference is not the model, and it is not the prompt. It is what the thing already knows before you type, and what it can do without being asked twice.
A chat box where almost everyone still is
- Starts from nothing, every session
- You paste the same background in again and again
- A good method lives in your head, or a note you lose
- Cut off from your files, your calendar, the live web
- Nothing happens unless you are sitting there
A co-pilot where you'll be by the end
- Reads a file about you before it answers anything
- Methods saved as skills, called by name
- Skills that call each other, so one fix improves everything
- Connected to real services, files and the live web
- Runs on a schedule and hands you the result
The objectives
What you'll be able
to do by the end.
Six outcomes you'll walk away owning — not concepts you'll have heard about once.
Give it the facts, once
Build a context file it reads before every answer — who you are, what you are working on, how you want things written. Stop paying the explaining tax every morning.
Save a method as a skill
Anything you have done twice is a method. Write it down once, name it, and call it with a slash instead of describing the job from scratch again.
Make your skills call each other
Small blocks that hand work to each other, so fixing one improves everything downstream. This is the difference between a prompt and a system.
Reach the outside world
Connect it to your files, your services and the live web with connectors and MCP, so it stops guessing at things it could simply go and look up.
Put it on a schedule
Chain the blocks, give them a time, and open one page with your coffee. The work happens whether or not you felt like starting it.
Keep your judgment and credibility
Spot confident nonsense, know when not to reach for AI, and keep your own voice on anything that goes out with your name on it.
How it runs
Live. Hands-on.
Not a webinar.
Three hours online, presentation-led and fully interactive — you're doing the reps, not just watching.
Each move demonstrated end to end, with the exact steps on screen.
You do the reps live on worked examples — a workshop, not a lecture.
Compare approaches in a small group, coached in real time.
Ask anything, then keep the 30-day replay to run it again on your own.
What's included
Everything you take home.
One session, and a kit that keeps working long after it ends.
- The live 3-hour session — hands-on throughout, with open Q&A.
- A keep-forever prompt pack — written for real deliverables, not "10 mind-blowing hacks."
- Your one-page AI playbook — built in the room, yours to keep.
- The four red lines — your guardrails card for staying credible.
- A 30-day session replay — run every move again in your own time.
- A seat in The Crest Club — the nudges keep coming so the habit sticks.
Three hours. A different Monday.

Be honest with yourself
Who this is for.
Book it if you…

- Use ChatGPT or Copilot but suspect you're barely scratching it
- Work somewhere on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Want reps and outcomes, not another webinar to half-watch
- Are a little sceptical — good, that's the point
Skip it if you…
- Already ship your work through AI agents daily
- Want a passive lecture you can nod along to
- Are looking for a certificate, not a changed habit
- Won't turn your camera on or join the breakouts
- Believe AI is a fad you can wait out

The house rule
Change how you work by Monday, or it's free.
Show up, do the reps — and if your Monday still looks exactly like last Monday, tell us, loudly, and we refund the session. We train on feedback, same as you will. Scepticism encouraged.
Before you ask
Fair questions.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can use email and a browser, you can do everything in this session. We start from exactly where you are.
Which tools does it cover?
ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Claude — plus the AI built into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The moves transfer across all of them.
Do I need a paid AI subscription?
No. Free tiers are enough to follow along. If your workplace already has Copilot or Gemini, even better — we'll get more out of them.
Is it really all online?
Yes — live on video. Presentation-led with hands-on exercises, breakout rooms and open Q&A. You'll want a laptop and a quiet three hours.
Will there be a recording?
Every seat includes a 30-day replay, so you can run the moves again in your own time.
What if it's not for me?
Change how you work by Monday or it's free. Do the reps, and if your week looks no different, tell us and we refund it.
Can my whole team come?
Absolutely. And if you want it tailored to your team's actual workflows, ask about a Squad.
What cohorts say
Real reviews.
Earned in the room.
“It opened our eyes to agentic AI. I'll use it to schedule meetings and emails, and automate the repetitive changes in my spreadsheets.”
“Highly informative, practical and technically enriching. My biggest takeaway was how context-driven interaction makes AI far more effective.”
“An engaging session from start to finish. I'll be using AI agents — a genuinely new concept, and one worth the practice.”
“This finally pushed me to explore the paid tools. As a frequent AI user, I realised what I'd been missing — going from novice to power user.”
“It's always fun to learn and explore in these sessions. I'll definitely organise my files far better now.”
“For organising and manipulating your data, it's perfect.”
Use it
properly.
Drop your email and we'll send you the seat link, the calendar invite for Saturday 29 August, and a short primer so you show up ready. Seats are $89 and the room is deliberately small.
