Hire a trainer, not an assistant.
One-on-one AI coaching for CEOs, owners and executives in Cleveland and Akron. I teach you, personally, to use AI in your own work.
You could learn this yourself if you had the time. Eight weeks, ninety minutes at a time, in person, until you can.
Most AI advice is aimed at your company. You are the one who has to decide.
You hold the wide view of the business and less of the detail than you used to. The tools that would help you see it are the ones you have not had a spare afternoon to learn.
So you get the two usual offers. A consultant who installs something and leaves, or a seminar that teaches your whole company the same thing at the same depth. Neither one leaves you able to do it.
A trainer is in the room while you lift. That is the difference, and it is the whole design here. You do the typing. I sit beside you, and by week eight you do not need me.
Eight sessions, ninety minutes each. Every one ends with something working.
1What your inbox says about your week
We point it at ninety days of your mail and read it back to you. Where your attention actually went. The threads where someone asked you something and never got an answer. The same question arriving from four different people, which is a process problem you have not seen as one.
2An inbox that is only yours
Now we act on it. Anyone you have ever written to reaches you. Everything else lands in one place you check once a day. Nothing sends without you.
3The other five inputs
Slack, text, the calendars, the phone. Nothing goes near your calendar that could quietly drop something. One brief each morning that pulls from all of it.
4What the numbers actually are
The view of your business you keep meaning to build. Whatever it lives in now becomes something you can look at.
5The tool only you need
Every executive has one. A number they keep working out by hand, a document they keep rebuilding. We build it together, and it shows its reasoning rather than just its answer.
6The thing that draws itself
Built from your data instead of by hand, so it updates when the facts do.
7Your own project
By now you will have your own idea. Building it is the point. If you can scope and build something I did not suggest, this worked.
8What runs without me
What is live, what breaks, what you would take to your team, and an honest list of what you should not let this near.
The first three weeks take your day back. The last five build the instruments that give you the wide view. Some of it will not be AI at all, because sometimes a plain tool is the better one, and I will say so every time that is true.
This is for you if
- You could figure this out yourself and have not found the time.
- You want to understand it before it goes anywhere near your company.
- You would rather keep your system simple than make it clever.
- You lead a company in or around Cleveland or Akron (Cuyahoga or Summit County) and will meet in person.
It is not, if
- You want someone to run your inbox for you.
- You want a tool installed and handed over.
- You want a seminar for the whole company.
I build these systems. That is why I can teach them.
Twenty years building software, and now I build AI systems that run real work for businesses in Northeast Ohio. Agents that read incoming mail and draft replies, document handling that used to be retyped by hand.
So this is not a course someone wrote after reading about it. When we build your tool in week five, I am building the same kind of thing I ship for clients, except you are the one with your hands on it.
One rule holds throughout, in your work and in mine. Nothing goes out without a person approving it.
Read what I write about thisQuestions executives in Northeast Ohio ask
- Who can teach me, personally, to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude in my own work?
- I can, if you are in Cuyahoga or Summit County. I am Dave Kiss, and this program is one to one and in person: eight sessions, ninety minutes each, on your own mail, calendar and numbers. You do the typing. Which tools we use depends on the job, and sometimes a plain tool is the better one.
- Who offers AI training for executives in Northeast Ohio?
- AI Launch Partner does, from Brecksville, between Cleveland and Akron. This page is that program: in person in Cuyahoga and Summit counties, by video elsewhere. It is built for one executive at a time, because the work is your own inbox, your own numbers and the tool only you need.
- Is this a generative AI workshop for my leadership team?
- No. A workshop teaches a group the same thing at the same depth. This is one person, eight weeks, building things that work. If you want your team trained, that is a separate offer.See team training
- Do you also work as an AI consultant for the company?
- Yes. For small and mid-sized businesses in Northeast Ohio I work out where AI fits your operations, train your team, and build AI systems such as an AI receptionist.See AI strategy
- What is AI Launch Partner, and who runs it?
- An AI training and consulting practice in Brecksville, Ohio, run by me, Dave Kiss. I spent twenty years building software and now build AI systems that run real work for businesses in Northeast Ohio. One rule holds in all of it: nothing goes out without a person approving it.About Dave
One free call to find out if it fits.
No pitch. I will ask where your week goes and tell you plainly whether this would help. If it would not, I will say that too.
