Collective Media Group · AI Foundations
You run the operation.
You should have an agent.
A three-week engagement for founders and operators running more than one thing. We map where your time actually goes, lay the AI foundation underneath you, and build your first agent before we leave.
3 weeks · 7 hours live · Slack throughout · you own what we build
If you run more than one thing
You are the constraint.
All of them share it.
01
Every venture routes through you
Three businesses, one bottleneck. Nothing moves without your read on it — which means your attention is the ceiling on all of them at once.
02
The switching cost is the real cost
Four inboxes, four sets of numbers, four contexts to reload every time you move between them. The work is not what is exhausting. The re-entry is.
03
You are the only one with the whole picture
It lives in your head, your notes, and eleven browser tabs. Nobody can take work off you because nobody else can see all of it.
Everything included
Two things, done properly.
AI stack audit and setup
What you are using today, what is worth keeping, and what is missing. Then we configure the right tools properly on your machine. Configuration is the part everyone skips, and it is what decides whether any of this runs cleanly.
Your first personal agent, built and handed over
We do not stop at the recommendation. One agent gets built during the engagement and it is yours — the prompts, the configuration, the data connections — whether or not we work together again.
The part most audits skip
Your own agent. Something already working.
A report tells you what to do. This one comes with something built. We take the highest-return item and make it during the engagement.
What most operators take
Chief of Staff Agent
Reads across your inboxes, calendar, and notes. Tells you what actually needs your attention today and drafts the replies for everything that does not. Built around how you work, not a template.
Or whichever the audit says is worth more
Daily brief across every venture
One message each morning: what moved, what is stuck, what needs a decision — from all of them, not just one.
Meeting-to-action capture
Calls turn into notes, decisions, and follow-ups already assigned without you writing anything down.
Inbox triage that knows your ventures
Sorted and routed by which business it belongs to, with the ones only you can answer surfaced first.
What to expect
Three weeks, not a meeting.
The workshop is day one, not the whole thing. Every session, and how long each one runs.
Day 1
1.5 hrs
The workshop
Your processes, your ventures, and what the agent needs to do. We scope everything here so nothing after it is a guess.
Weeks 1–2
4.5 hrs
Build, setup, and training
We come back with the recommended build and agree on it before anything gets made. Setup on your machine over remote access, then three 1-hour training calls where you are driving, not watching.
Week 3
1 hr
Check-in and optimize
One hour on what is working and what is not, tuned against how you have actually used it for a week rather than how we guessed you would.
Seven hours of live time with Van across three weeks, plus build work between sessions and Slack access throughout. At $2,500 that works out to a little over $200 per live hour before the build is counted.
Where it ends
What you own on day twenty-one.
Not a prototype. Not a report recommending one.
After the engagement
Two ways to take it further.
Neither is a condition. You finish with an agent you own and know how to run, and stopping there is a complete outcome.
Monthly AI support
AI Foundation
We stay on as your AI team across every venture: building, maintaining, and expanding the foundation as each business needs it.
Best when the ventures keep moving and new needs keep coming
Scope it on its own
One-time projects
Name the next thing you want built. We scope and price it separately. No retainer, no commitment to the one after.
Best when you want one specific thing solved properly
FAQ
Common questions.
What am I actually paying for — this looks like a 90-minute meeting?
It is not. The workshop is day one of a three-week engagement: seven hours of live sessions, the build work between them, remote setup on your machine, and Slack access throughout. You finish with a working agent, not notes from a call.
Which platform and tools will we use?
We decide that in the workshop, against how you already work — usually Claude or ChatGPT as the base, connected to your email, calendar, and communication tools. We name the exact platform and its cost before you spend anything on it.
What does it cost me on top of your fee?
A platform subscription billed directly by the vendor, typically $20 to $200 a month depending on the tier your setup needs. We tell you which tier and why in the workshop.
Is this for me or for my businesses?
You, first. You are the shared bottleneck across every venture, so the agent we build is yours — it works across all of them rather than sitting inside one. A specific business needing its own build is a separate project.
How proficient will I be at the end?
Proficient enough to run it and change it yourself. Three of the seven hours are training calls where you are driving, not watching. An agent you cannot adjust is one you stop using by month two.
Do I have to sign a retainer afterward?
No. The AI Foundation retainer and project work are there if you want them, and neither is a condition of this engagement. You finish with a working agent you own outright.
How long does it take?
About three weeks from kickoff to the check-in call, depending on how quickly we can get access to your systems.
