The proposals you send to clients
- Inyour notes from the meeting and your earlier work
- Outthe proposal laid out in your template, ready to check
Today you build it yourself, on Sunday night.
AI on the jobs your business does
Pick a job you do by hand every week.
The aim is to save you time, or money. We leave it built with AI inside your own accounts and I teach you to run it yourself.
One job or several, if they are small and fit together.
How? 1 scoping report, 4 sessions, 6 weeks.
More than fifteen years in startups, in Madrid and San Francisco. Seven of them running Tiendalista: more than 5,000 online shops in the hands of people who were not technical.
- I adapt to how you already work
The jobs
Examples of jobs we can work on
These are examples. We prioritise your job or jobs together in the first session, working out which tools, what for and how.
Online shop
Product descriptions
- Inthe supplier's spec sheet
- Outforty descriptions written in your shop's voice
Today the admin person does it, in gaps between other work.
Practice or small firm
The inbox that arrives every morning
- Inthirty client messages
- Outsorted, each with a draft reply underneath
Today you do it first thing, before you can start.
Every business is run differently. Together we look at the jobs that weigh on you most and work out how they could be automated, or whether they can. I start from how you do it today, not from a template.
- We can start with something simple and go as far as it makes sense.
- If it also needs connecting to your management software or your shop, tell me in the form so I can take it into account for the report.
- Once you have the report, you decide how you want to carry on.
The first step is $150: an hour with me and the report in writing. It comes off in full if we carry on. See the full price
How it works
Four sessions, and you leave each one with something in hand
Four sessions in six weeks. Between sessions you try things out and you can ask me questions.
I arrive at the first session having read your form.
- I see the tools you work with and the jobs weighing on you before we meet.
- If a different tool fits your case better, I tell you then.
- So the first session starts on your case, not on introductions.
THE SCOPING REPORT SESSION 60 min
You leave with the jobs chosen and ranked
With everything you have told me we start with the specifics: we choose the job, and if they are small and they fit, it can be more than one. Then Guide 1: what to switch on and what to prepare.
SECOND SESSION 90 min
You see it run on your own material
We check access, lock the scope and do the first run on your own material. Then Guide 2, with what to try before the third session.
THIRD SESSION 90 min
The job, working
It ends up built in your account and we test it on real cases. Then Guide 3, so you can use it that week without me.
You keep the job built inside your account and one written guide for every session held. It is not a new program to maintain.
FOURTH SESSION, OPTIONAL 90 min
You do it without me
You use it and I only correct what needs correcting. The last twenty minutes: what you do next week without me. You keep Guide 4, the reference sheet.
Outside the sessions
- A written guide after every session, so nothing depends on remembering the call.
- WhatsApp only when something is blocking the next session. I reply the next business day.
- Six weeks from the first session. If I am the one who moves a session, the window stretches to match.
- The sessions and the WhatsApp end with the kickoff. You keep the guides and the job as it is built, and a new job that does not fit with this one is another kickoff at the same price.
How I work
I work inside your accounts and I do not keep your data
You pay for the tools
We start with what you already use. If a different one fits better, I tell you which and you buy it yourself.
- Whatever they cost: it depends on the tool and what you use it for, from a few euros a month per person to a good deal more. We work out which ones you need, and what they give you, before paying for any.
- That cost carries on afterwards, and it is yours.
- I never subscribe in your name, resell licences or take commission.
Your accounts, your data
Inside your accounts, on a shared screen or a temporary invitation you remove at the end. No passwords kept, no data taken, anonymized samples for testing.
I work the way you already work
I work with your processes and your product as they are. I do not redesign them or weigh in on how you run the business: the job gets built on top of what you already do.
If I spot something along the way that could work better, I mention it in case it is useful. The decision is yours.
What I do not promise
I do not promise you more clients. I promise that job ends up built in your account and documented, and that you know how to use it and change it. You check what the tool produces before it goes to a client.
Pricing
The work is the same; size does not change it
Size does not change the sessions or the guides. What moves the price is how many people it has to keep working for after I leave, not what you bill.
You work alone
Freelance or self-employed
from $790
You and me. The job ends up built inside your own account, with your examples and your format, and you are the one who reads the guide.
- You build it, I guide youfrom $790
- I build it for youfrom $1,790
You have a team
Up to fifty people
from $1,120
The job ends up inside the company account, and the guide also works for whoever inherits it the day that person is not there.
- You build it, I guide youfrom $1,120
- I build it for youfrom $2,120
More than fifty
The price comes from the report
Quoted
When the job crosses several departments I will not put a price on it blind. We start with the report, and your price comes out of it in writing.
Both ways of building are open to you. Which one, and what it costs, comes out of the report.
"I build it" is $1,000 more, at any size.
- I do the building between sessions, inside your account, up to three hours off call. Each session you find it already there.
- At the lower price you build it on your own material with me guiding you, and you come out knowing how.
- Same four sessions, same guides, same WhatsApp either way.
- The $1,000 does not depend on there being a fourth session: that building is already done before it.
No hourly rate, no monthly retainer, no discounts that expire. A second kickoff is the same pack at the same price.
First I understand your business: the scoping report, $150
An hour over Zoom looking at your actual jobs, and the report in writing. If it is not worth doing, I tell you and we stop there.
- It is the only payment made from this site.
- If we carry on afterwards, the $150 comes off in full: one payment before the second session, covering sessions 2 and 3, and the fourth one only if it is needed.
- It is not a sales call: you pay for it, and you leave with an answer to your case, in writing.
The money, step by step
When it leaves your account, and what happens if you stop
-
Today: $150, I prepare your report and we meet to start the kickoff
It is the only payment made from this site. You book the hour in that moment. If we carry on afterwards, it comes off in full.
-
No commitment until the fourth session
You can stop after the second or the third session, with no explanation owed. The payment for the fourth only happens if it is needed.
-
Then: $640, and the fourth only if it is needed
Before the second session you pay $640 working alone, or $970 with a team, and that covers sessions 2 and 3. The fourth is separate, $310 or $480, and only if it is needed: if you are already using it on your own at the end of the third, there is no fourth session and nothing to pay. Doing all four, the total is $1,100 or $1,600. I email them at least a week ahead and I do not store your card.
-
If you cancel in time
I refund any payment in full if you cancel within 48 hours of making it. After those 48 hours the work is already under way, so there is no refund.
Secure card payment
- Credit
- Debit
- Encrypted

FAQ
Before you pay
How is this different from an AI workshop?
A workshop shows you what is possible. Here you finish with one of your own jobs working, and the guides to use it and change it.
And from an automation agency?
With an agency, every change goes through them. Here it is built inside your accounts and the documentation is yours.
I could learn this on my own online
Yes. The information is public and it is all out there. What takes time is applying it to your template, your clients and the way you work. That is what the sessions are for.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. You need to know your own work, which is the part I do not know.
What if I do not know which job to pick?
You do not need to know in advance. We choose it in the first session, from what your week actually looks like. If I cannot find one worth doing, I will tell you there.
Can I switch jobs halfway?
It depends on how much is already built. Tell me as soon as you see it and we will work out how much has to be redone, or whether we can simply change course.
Can I stop?
Yes, after the second or the third session, with no explanation owed. The payment for the fourth only happens if it is needed. You have 30 days to pick it back up where you left it.
What exactly do I keep at the end?
The job set up inside the tool you use, with your own examples and your own format, and one written guide for every session held: three, or four if there is a fourth session. It is not a new program to maintain.
I pay today. What if I back out?
Any payment is refunded in full if you cancel within 48 hours of making it. After that it is not: by then the work is already under way.
