About this event

You didn't start a business to answer email or spend your time strapped to your computer screen. But that's the job now. Inbox, calendar, follow-ups, "did that client ever reply," the newsletter you keep meaning to write. Then the work you actually want gets pushed out over and over again. Hiring fixes it at $4k a month (if you're lucky). ChatGPT doesn't fix it at all — a chat window isn't an employee. It doesn't show up at 7 AM, it doesn't remember last week, and it doesn't know your clients. There's a middle path, and it takes an afternoon with us to put it into play. Join us inside Gevity, Austin’s private members club, for a hands-on AI session where we give you the employees and help you onboard them during the event. What you'll build Not prompts or talking about "an AI strategy." 3 employees with job descriptions, schedules, and boundaries — built live, on your laptop, connected to your real accounts. 1. Executive Assistant Reads your calendar and defends it. Knows your priorities for the season and pushes back when your week drifts from them. Notices when you've skipped your writing block three times and asks why. 2. Customer Service VA Runs your inbox to zero. Drafts every reply in your voice, and escalates anything with money or an angry client attached, with full context and a recommended move. Builds a client directory, flags who's gone quiet before they churn, and files a pattern report on what your clients are actually saying. 3. Content Manager & Studio Reads every call, post, podcast, newsletter and other content you've ever produced. Sorts it into a repository and brand bank, pitches you ideas, drafts in your voice, and can (sometimes) publish on your behalf. The best part? They talk to each other. Tell the EA "the refund policy changed" and the VA knows about it as well. Who this is for • Solo founders and owner-operators doing $150k–$2M who are the bottleneck • Consultants, coaches, agencies, and service businesses with a real inbox and real clients • People who've tried ChatGPT and thought "okay, but now what?" Not for you if you want a lecture, you're evaluating AI for a 200-person org, or you won't connect your actual accounts. We build on the real thing. What to bring • Laptop or a tablet • Gmail and Google Calendar logins (or Outlook) • Grok account, Notion account *Show up with these and you leave with employees. Show up without them and you leave with notes.

Frequently asked questions

Are we building from scratch?

No, you'll leverage our skills and instructions, including downloadable files we've curated to save you time and frustration. You'll be able to customize them further and understand how to build from scratch if you want to after the event.

I'm not technical. Will I keep up?

Yes. No code. If you can set up a Gmail filter, you can do this.

Which AI does this run on?

Grok bots for the always-on employees, Notion as the command center.

Will my AI send emails on its own?

Not until you say so. Every employee starts in draft-and-approve mode. Autonomy is unlocked by you, one category at a time.

What if I can't make October 10?

VIP includes the recording. Builder tickets don't. No refunds, but tickets are transferable.

Is there parking?

Yes free on the street and the lot across from Gevity.

Will there be a recording?

Only if you purchase the VIP ticket option (which you'll be able to during the event if you choose).
