Bring your laptop. Leave with a working AI assistant.

one hour of prep at home, 3.5 hours hands-on with me. You are interviewed about your business and your AI assistant is built from your answers, on your computer, under a name you choose. Then it starts work.

Who this is for

People who run things, not people who code

Freelancers, consultants, accountants, solicitors, letting agents, builders, designers, business owners, household managers. You do not need to know what an API is. You need to know your own business and how to give an instruction and check the result.

What you go home with

An AI assistant with a name and 6 things already working

An AI assistant with a name

It knows your business, your people, your software and your voice, because it interviewed you for an hour and wrote it all down.

Email and calendar connected and proven

It reads your inbox, tells you what actually needs you and drafts every reply in your voice. You read, you press send.

Your files reachable

Photograph the letter, the bill, the contract. It tells you what it says and drafts the answer.

A memory that carries between sessions

It keeps a diary and reads it back. Correct it once and it does not repeat the mistake.

8 skills installed free

Including the morning brief, follow-up push and the token diet that keeps your Claude plan inside its limits.

The 20 minute Claude intro

The 4 places Claude lives, the models and the three prompting habits, before we build anything.

How the day goes

one hour of homework, one session, one short follow-up

  1. Before the day, about one hour of homework.Choose your main Gmail account, sign up to Claude Pro, install Claude on your laptop, browser and phone, name your AI assistant, answer the interview questions. 7 steps, none technical, all written down for you.
  2. The session, 3.5 hours, face to face or online.Accounts and apps, the folder your AI assistant lives in, the interview, the build, connecting email and calendar, the first real tasks, then the test: it drafts a real reply to a real email in your inbox.
  3. Day 7, 20 minutes.We read its diary together, tighten one thing and decide what is next.
The boundaries

4 things it will never do

  • Send anything without your yes. Every email ends as a draft you approve.
  • Touch money. No payments, no purchases, ever.
  • Delete anything. It moves things to a "To sort" folder and tells you what moved.
  • See your passwords. They stay in your hands, never in a conversation.
What it costs

one fixed price, paid once

£950
one session, 3.5 hours

Your only running cost is your own Claude plan, from $20 a month.

£795 if you complete the 7 prep steps yourself before the day. The steps are the same either way; the lower price is for arriving with them done.

"Really useful, hands-on workshop on setting up Claude as a personal AI assistant. Eldi explained everything clearly and I walked away with a fully working setup I actually use every day, highly recommend."
