hey robot
FOUNDING COHORT · 3 SLOTS · WEEK OF 3 AUGUST

Swamped? Give me a week.

I set you up with a robot that knows your whole business — everything lands in one place, and each morning you get a short brief: what's due, what's stuck, what needs a reply. You stop holding the whole thing in your head.

“I'm serious guys anyone who can teach non technical people to use AI agents to take care of project management, messaging triage and business intelligence is going to PRINT”

“I was overwhelmed by my responsibilities and felt like I would never get on top … now my responsibilities feel digestible and I have spare capacity to take on more. ambitions are getting bigger. creative spark is back online”

Rich built his own setup. Most people running a business solo never will — that's what the week is for. This page exists because of that first tweet.

You take the robot over: how it works, and the one habit that keeps it alive. Done.

That's the default shape. The Monday call decides what we actually build — it's fitted to how you work, not a template.

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
ONE PLACE

Everything lands in one inbox-of-inboxes instead of four apps and a mental list.

THE BRIEF

Your robot's morning message: what's due, what's stuck, what needs a reply.

WRITTEN DOWN

Your business on paper — decisions, prices, people, promises — where your robot can read it. Outlives any tool.

THE HABIT

The 10 minutes a day that keeps it alive. This is what "tried AI, didn't stick" was missing.

PRIVACY
Your data goes to the robot — not to me.
YOUR SYSTEMS
inbox · calendar · numbers
THE ROBOT
it reads here, I don't
the line
ME
I see summaries and build the robot, not your raw data

I set things up so I don't read your inbox and I don't see your numbers.

If we ever touch money data, it goes through an aggregator you control — never credentials in my hands.

FOR

You run something real — a business, a practice, a freelance career, a pile of projects — and the work about the work is eating the work. No admin staff, no ops person; it's all you.

NOT FOR

Replacing people — if you want AI so you can cut staff, I don't do that work, anywhere. Pre-revenue ideas. Anyone who can't clear time for three calls in the week.

THE FOUNDING DEAL
