AI Foundation System · Early Access
One session. Your AI trained, your prompts ready, your foundation in place. No tech background required.
I work with a small number of clients at a time.
Sound Familiar?
"You're not starting from this blank page. You're starting from something."CATRIONA · WEDDING CELEBRANT, DONEGAL · AI FOUNDATION SYSTEM CLIENT, APRIL 2026
Catriona's blog posts used to take a couple of hours. They now take 15 minutes.
That's exactly what the AI Foundation System does. You never have to start from a blank page again!
A Note on What to Expect
After our session, your AI won't need explaining to. You won't be watching tutorials, cobbling together prompts, or starting from scratch every time you open a new conversation. It will know your business, your tone, your style — and it will be ready to use.
What I can get you is ninety percent of the way there. The last ten percent is where it becomes yours — where you start using it in your actual week, and it begins to feel like a natural extension of how you think and work. No consultant can give you that part. It only comes from doing.
That's not a caveat. That's how it's supposed to work.
I'll Meet You Where You Are
We work with the tools you already use. I won't arrive with a stack of new software to learn or a workflow that doesn't fit how you actually operate.
If you want a recommendation, I'll give you one — but the starting point is always where you are right now, and how comfortable you are with technology. That's what we build from.

The tricky client emails she used to put off? Written in seconds. No blank page, no overthinking. Just done and ready to tweak.
The Process
Before we speak, you fill in a short form. No jargon, no tech knowledge needed. Just your business, your week, and what's eating your time.
A focused conversation — not a sales pitch. We look at how you actually work: the tools you use, the tasks that slow you down, and where AI could genuinely help. We also agree on which workflow we'll build together, so I can have everything prepped before the Workshop.
This is where it gets hands-on. In one 90-minute session, we train your AI on your business — your voice, your context, your workflow. You're not watching a demo. You're using it. And you leave with a foundation that's genuinely yours.
A short check-in after you've had time to use everything in the real world. Questions answered, anything tweaked, nothing left hanging.
Your Focus Area
During our session we build one workflow together — tested and ready before we finish. You'll choose your focus area during the Discovery Call, so by the time we get to the Workshop, everything is prepped and we can hit the ground running.
Choose one of the following workflows:
You pick one. We build it together. You leave with it working.
What You Walk Away With
Everything personalised to your business. Nothing generic. A foundation you can actually build from.
A bespoke document that teaches your AI assistant about you and your business — how you think, how you write, how you work. Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude once, and it knows your business.
Ten prompts personalised to your specific business and tasks — emails, content, client comms, admin. No blank page, ever. Just open it, copy, and go.
Built and tested together during our session, personalised to how you actually work. You leave knowing how to use it — not just what it is.
Plain-English instructions for everything we built together, written specifically for you. No assumptions about what you'll remember.
If you decide to switch tools down the road — from ChatGPT to Claude, or anywhere else — this prompt pulls everything relevant out of your current AI assistant and transfers it cleanly. You're never starting from scratch again.
Every client gets the same care, never the same setup. What we build is bespoke to your business — personalised to the week you actually have.

Who's Behind This
I spent twenty years in marketing and consumer research across retail and FMCG, the kind of work where you learn to cut through noise, read data, and find what actually makes an impact. I've also run a small family business, so I know what it feels like when every hour counts and there's nobody to delegate to.
When AI tools arrived, I was fascinated. I tested everything, broke most of it, and figured out how to make it genuinely useful — not in a techy, complicated way, but in a "this just saved me 2 hours on a Tuesday" way.
Now I help women running small businesses get set up properly, so AI actually fits into their week instead of adding to it.
Before You Decide
Yes — in fact, that's exactly who this is built for. You don't need any technical background or prior experience with AI tools. The whole point of the session is to get you properly set up from the beginning, so you're not building on a shaky foundation.
The Workshop itself is 90 minutes, max. Before that, there's a short questionnaire (10 minutes) and a Discovery Call (20–30 minutes). After the Workshop, we have a brief follow-up call once you've had time to use everything. All in, you're looking at around two and a half hours spread across a couple of weeks.
We decide together during the Discovery Call. You'll have the list of options in advance, but the conversation will help us identify which one will make the biggest difference to your week right now. I'll have everything prepped before the Workshop so we can hit the ground running.
It's a hands-on session — you're not watching a demo, you're using the tools. By the end of it, your AI Training Profile is live, your prompt pack is built, and your chosen workflow is set up and running. Nothing is left as homework.
You get your Toolkit Handover Doc — plain-English instructions for everything we built together. Then, after you've had time to use it in the real world, we have a short follow-up call to answer questions and tweak anything that needs it.
Yes. The AI Foundation System works for both. The workflow options — content planning, email, newsletter, proposals — apply across service and product businesses. We'll build the one that maps to how you actually work.
What you learn in our session isn't tied to one tool. You're building fluency — how to communicate with AI, how to get useful output, how to make it work for your business. That transfers no matter what the tools look like in a year. And if you do decide to move from ChatGPT to Claude or anywhere else, the migration prompt I include pulls everything across cleanly. You'll never have to start from scratch.
Ready when you are
Your foundation in place. So you can get on with running your business.
