Four live sessions starting June 15th, 2026 · Enrollment open
Buy back 20 hours of your EA's week.
Your EA builds an AI system to audit the team's calendar automatically, turn meeting transcripts into tracked tasks, and run logistics for your next offsite. Redirect those 20 hours of operational work saved to your next priorities.
— What your EA will build
Give us 4 hours. We'll change how your EA works for the rest of their career.
Four live sessions, one hour each. Every session starts with a demo, then your EA builds it themselves — so they leave with workflows running, not just notes.
Hit inbox zero by 9am — automatically
FoundationTheir calendar, email, and tasks wired into Claude; local vault scaffolded. By the end of the hour, AI is walking your EA through their morning — schedule prepped, briefings ready, inbox triaged. The 90-minute morning compresses to 20.
Recaps, action items, and digests that ship without typing
Their vault syncs to remote. Write paths to email, Slack, and tasks staged for inline approval; meeting capture and recurring triggers wired in. Outputs leave their hands without typing — auto-recaps to attendees, action items routed by owner, your Friday digest writing itself. 2–3× lift on baseline.
A system that gets sharper every week you use it
Run log instrumented; reflection commands and weekly ritual wired in. The system starts catching its own staleness — surfaces patterns your EA couldn't see on their own, ships one real fix in the room.
Bring you in — without breaking trust
Principal layerAI-safety conversation script in hand; your world loaded into the vault; staged write access to your inbox and calendar. Your EA runs in-voice inbox triage, calendar scrub, and a 'waiting on you' decision queue all on your real data. Every draft staged for approval before push.
Vendors, travel, and offsite prep — without the spreadsheet jungle
Bonus sessionTables, vendor lists, and time-blocked schedules loaded into the foundation. Your EA ships one end-to-end logistics workflow live — your offsite, a complex event, your family ops — running on a system instead of a dozen tabs.
The architecture
You stay in charge. AI does the rest.
The crucial design choice is treating your EA and Claude as a paired team. Your EA brings strategic judgment and human relationships. Claude brings 24/7 memory and the ability to act on connectors. Most failed AI rollouts assume one or the other can do the whole job. This works because each side does what it's good at, and the vault is the medium they collaborate through.

Your vault
The shared mediumA folder of plain text files on your EA's machine. Holds context, workflows, and learnings. Both sides read and write here. Survives any tool change because it's just markdown.
Your EA brings judgment · Claude brings 24/7 memory · the vault is the medium they collaborate through, and the part that survives turnover.
Simple and reusable
Your foundation outlives every AI tool.
Plain text files are as simple as a Google Doc — and every AI can read them. Your EA builds the foundation here, so when a better tool comes along, the system moves with them instead of starting from scratch.
Who you work with, what they care about
Stakeholders, last touches, recurring people. Loaded into every AI conversation so it starts already knowing the room.
How you ship outputs and route them
Recap templates, routing rules, recurring triggers. Encoded once, run on schedule. Each session adds the next.
What the system noticed about your week
Run log, surfaced patterns, friction fixes. Grows by one or two bullets per shipped task. Three months in: an institutional knowledge base.

Try it. If it's not working for them, we'll refund you.
If your EA decides it's not the right fit in week 1, full refund — no friction.
Our only ask: Your EA hops on 30 minutes of feedback so we know what didn't work and the next cohort runs better.
— Who built it
Built by world-class engineers, with support from the top EAs in the industry.
Curriculum tested with EAs at a16z, Athena, and other top firms before launch. Not a generic prompt course — every workflow came from an EA actually running a GP's, founder's, or CEO's day.
