You already use AI every day.

You use it to write first drafts at work or to search a topic online. But agents and automation aren’t something you’ve had the time to explore yet.

You’ve wondered if there was more it could own, and free you to:

• Multiply the good work you do, with no additional headcount

• Focus more on your highest-leverage work

• Equip your team to do the same

This course is for you if:

• you’re a founder or solopreneur building your own operating system

• you were handed “use AI or else” mandate at work, with no additional hours to learn

• you’ve wondered how to add Claude Code or Codex to the AI tools you use

You’re not technical - and you want the bridge from beginner to orchestrator with AI.

You’re in the right spot.

I built the class I originally needed.

I’m a business owner. I saw the promise of AI in operations - done well, it could quickly multiply good work in a cost-effective way. But, I quickly got frustrated. I was spending as much time coaching the tool - reminding it of key details, teaching it how I defined what good work looked like - that I could have just done the task myself in the same time.

I doubled down and coached it on anything it needed to perform at the highest levels in the business. I tracked everything required and a pattern emerged of what truly moved the needle. I turned that pattern into a repeatable framework for students — the Keystone™.

The bridge is your Keystone™

Before our first class, you take an assessment and build your Keystone™ - your AI’s instruction manual, defining the IQ and EQ of working well in collaboration with you. This is your AI’s foundation and spine. Unlike other tools, you don’t need to provide an archive of everything you’ve built and done to create this. In one hour, you will co-create the foundation.

As you work with your Keystone™ over time, it will only grow stronger and more capably reflect you. It goes with you to your AI tool of choice; it is tool-agnostic and portable. A COOPilots.io instructor will help you install it in a 1:1 session.

AI for Operations Program

Before Class

• Keystone™ Builder - in an hour, we create your “operating system” or “second brain” to teach AI how to work with you, how to reflect you well (including your voice) and how to be effective in your business.

• In that exercise, we also identify up to 5 AI use cases for your work that you could build in class. You come in primed with ideas.

• You have a 1:1 install of your Keystone™ with a COOPilots.io instructor. We’ll connect all your tools and make sure your settings are correct to safely build in class.

Class 1: Foundations (2 hours)

• We onboard your new AI colleague - and define key terms (tokens, context window, context rot) and concepts (prompt design, why longer chats will give you worse outcomes)

• Together as a group, we build one skill and one agent you can use in your work instantly

Class 2: Where to Use AI (2 hours)

• Common use cases, plus real builds from past students for inspiration.

• Model strengths, watchouts, and the pitfalls that trip people up. Determinism, explained.

• Workflow teardown: as a group, we take a real work process apart and rebuild it with AI where AI is genuinely capable.

• Lab (40 min): diagnose one of your own workflows and map AI into it.

Class 3: Designing Your Build (2 hours)

• Types of builds, triggers, and how to describe your ask well enough to get what you want.

• Estimating ROI and governance.

• Lab (50 min): your own build, coached.

Class 4: Verification and Automation (2 hours)

• How to verify performance and get production-ready

• Automatic triggers and scheduling — the build that runs without you

• Lab (20 min): practice hardening a build, or any final support needed

• Demos

• Wrap & celebration

After Class

• A credential for LinkedIn -- AI for Operations Graduate, with skills in AI, process automation, and agentic workflows.

• The Keystone Builders Slack -- alumni building the same way you are, plus continuing education.

• A 30/60/90 plan to keep the momentum going.

What You Get

• A 1:1 Setup before day one - your Keystone™ built, your tools connected, your settings calibrated

• A Keystone™ context layer custom to you. Portable across AI tools. The foundation for everything you build next.

• We identify 3-5 ideas for AI in your real work, buildable in class, custom to how you work

• Four live cohort sessions in Claude Code - a skill, an agent, and then your own builds

• Dedicated, coached build time on your real work

• The skills to keep building on your own for any workflow, well beyond the class.

• A 30/60/90 plan and ROI worksheets to keep proving and expanding the value after class ends.

• A community of leaders building AI just like you

• A credential for LinkedIn highlighting your new capabilities

• Real automations you’ll use Monday morning

Investment

• $1,000 for waitlist members and referrals. Sign up for the waitlist at the bottom of this page.

• $1,250 for public registration. Announced on LinkedIn.

The Case for Investment: One workflow saving 3 hours a week at a $100 hourly rate is $15,600 a year in recovered capacity. With one build, you can return >10x on investment — and you leave equipped to build working systems well beyond that.

Cohort Details

• 8 seats - we intentionally keep the class small.

• Waitlist and referrals get early access and special pricing

This class is unlikely to be a fit if you haven't yet interacted with any LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.).
