For founders who still run the business day to day
An AI engine for your business. Installed for you, one automation at a time.
The proposals, the follow-ups, the status updates, the invoice chasing: the work that keeps you running the business instead of growing it. We ship an automation a month until that work runs without you. All you do is approve.
Free 30 minutes. No pitch. You'll know where AI fits your business either way.

This business runs on the same AI engine I install. On a normal weekday, without me:
- 7:00 AM a daily brief lands on my phone: numbers, meetings, what needs me
- 20 researched LinkedIn connection requests go out, filtered and sent automatically
- Every metric that matters (YouTube, email list, outreach) collected into one database, daily
- One writing session becomes a blog post, an email, a Substack issue, and LinkedIn content each week
This is the business you are reading about right now. On the discovery call I will show you any of it running.
Who this is for
Is an AI engine right for your business?
Founders who still run the business day to day: a team of 2 to 30, and every decision runs through you.
This is for you if
- You have a team, and somehow everything still routes through you.
- Your week is mostly admin: proposals, follow-ups, status updates, invoice chasing.
- You have tried ChatGPT a few times and it never stuck, because it forgot your business every morning.
- You want the day-to-day handled without managing another system or making another hire.
- You can give it 30 minutes a week to approve what it drafts.
Probably not for you if
- You want a chatbot for your website and nothing more.
- Nothing in your week repeats yet. The engine runs recurring work; a brand-new business has little of it.
- You expect zero involvement. Someone still has to say yes to what gets built, and that someone is you.
- You need a software product built from scratch rather than your operations run.
Not sure which side you are on? The free 3-minute Task Audit puts a number on it.
The process
How does it work?
From first conversation to a business that runs without you, in four steps. You never write a process document. You record yourself doing the task once, and I extract the process from the recording.

Pricing
How much does a managed AI engine cost?
The roadmap recommends one of these three. Most founders land on Operator. Every tier keeps a real person in the room, two working sessions a month, with no per-use charges. What changes is who does the building, and how fast new automations ship.
The math worth doing first
$200 an hour × 5 hours a week ≈ $4,000 a month
That is what one automation is worth if it saves you five hours a week and your time is worth $200 an hour. Operator adds another every month. Want a faster pace? An extra build slot is $500 a month and stacks toward Partner. Always a rate, never a cap.
Advisor$1,497/month
We build your AI engine together, two working sessions a month, in your own workspace, yours to keep.
- Two working build sessions a month, plus questions answered between sessions
- Built together in your own AI workspace, so you learn it and own it from day one
- Your roadmap sets the order; the sessions set the pace
- Graduation is the honest goal: the fee is temporary, the savings are permanent
Most founders land hereOperator$2,997/month
Everything in Advisor, plus we ship a new automation for you every month.
- A new done-for-you automation shipped every month, forever: your roadmap names six, the first six ship in six months
- A full AI assistant in your phone, from quick answers to research-grade reports
- Hosted and watched for you: problems get fixed before you ever see them
- A business memory, maintained for you: meetings, decisions, and documents filed automatically
- A monthly Ops Review in writing: what shipped, what ran, and what it saved you
Partner$4,997/month
We run the whole back office: unlimited builds, your fractional AI Operations Officer, special projects included.
- Everything in Operator, with unlimited builds per month, one or two always in flight
- Your fractional AI Operations Officer: quarterly operations audit, roadmap, and advice before you buy any software
- Priority fixes and priority support: your requests go to the front of every queue
- Special projects included: custom software beyond automations, at no extra charge

The math
Why founders choose an AI engine over another hire.
Set the technology aside for a second. This is a spending decision, and the numbers are not close.
Replace the role you can't fill
Stop trying to hire for a position you can't find, can't afford, or can't keep filled. The engine handles the work, the proposals, the follow-ups, the reporting, the operations admin, at a fraction of the cost of a hire.
Works around the clock, costs a fraction
A fractional operations executive runs $5,000 to $12,000 a month at 2026 market rates and works maybe 15 hours a week. The engine starts at $1,497 a month, never stops working, and never calls in sick. And it is a swap, not a new bill: it replaces the slack across the VA, the agency retainer, and the tools nobody fully uses.
Connects to what you already use
Your email, your calendar, your CRM, your spreadsheets, all on your own accounts. No rip-and-replace: it makes the tools you already pay for work together and work harder. And you never pay a ransom to keep what was built; if we ever part ways, everything stays yours.
Results in weeks, not months
The base system is working in around two weeks: a daily brief every morning, drafted work waiting for approval, hours measurably back. From there, most businesses can hand the system 60 to 70% of their recurring tasks (our estimate from mapping founders' weeks in the free Task Audit), and the reclaimed time goes into growth.
In their words
Real founders. Real time back.
Three client systems in three unrelated businesses. AI adapts to the business, not the other way around.
Laura Di Franco
CEO, Brave Healer Productions
A full day back every launch month.
"Now I create tools that complete tasks for me in minutes. It's really a small miracle. This will completely transform your business day, and you can do it, even if you're 'low tech.'"

Melissa Henry
Branding strategist
Her marketing now runs on her own strategy, without re-teaching AI who she is every morning.
"I have what I can only describe as a full strategic brain on standby that knows my goals, my voice, and what's happening in the moment. It's helped me do more in less time."
Pipeline, email, meeting transcripts, and marketing copy all run through one system that already knows her brand.
Two guarantees
What happens if it doesn't work?
The First-30-Days Guarantee
Your base system is live within 14 days and your first automation within 30, or month one is refunded. Delivery speed is fully in my control, so I am happy to put money on it.
The Rebuild Guarantee
Every automation ships with a target we set together before we start. If it is not hitting that target in real use, I rebuild it, as many times as it takes, at no extra cost, until it does.
Both hold as long as you do your part: record the task once, provide access, and give feedback within a week of each build.

About
Hi, I'm Jonathan.
I help founders buy back their time by wrapping a layer of AI automation around the whole business.
I studied Computer Science and worked as a software engineer before I realised I wanted to work directly with businesses. For years I helped companies get leaner and faster with traditional systems, then AI made that far more powerful.
Now I build my own AI engine live and in public, on YouTube every week. Not theory, the actual thing that is working right now. When I set one up for you, you are getting a system I run myself, not a slide deck.

Questions
Common questions.
Everything founders want to know before they start. Still unsure? A 30-minute call clears it up.
Book a free discovery callAn AI Operating System, the AI engine I install for clients, is an intelligence layer wrapped around your entire business. It gives your AI deep context about how you work, connects to your data in real time, turns your meetings and messages into a single daily brief, automates the recurring tasks that eat your week, and lets you build custom tools when off-the-shelf ones don't exist. Think of it as the operating system your business runs on, working while you don't.
Founders who still run the business day to day: a team of about 2 to 30, and every decision runs through them. The proposals, status updates, follow-ups, and invoicing all still route through the founder, and the processes live in people's heads instead of in a system. The industry matters less than the shape: publishers, gyms, coaches, consultancies, agencies, and fractional executives have all fit. If your week is 80% must-dos and you can't step away without the business stalling, that's exactly who an AIOS is built for.
No. The whole system is designed to be operated in plain English, not code. If you can describe what you need, the AI handles it. Jonathan works with founders who have never written a line of code, and they use their AIOS every day without thinking about it technically.
ChatGPT is a tool. An AIOS is a system. ChatGPT doesn't know your business, your data, or your goals, so every conversation starts from scratch. An AIOS gives your AI full context about your specific business, connects to your real numbers, and runs work in the background. The difference is like comparing a Google search with a private advisor who already knows everything about your company.
You own it. Your AIOS is built on Claude, on your own workspace and your own accounts, so it isn't a subscription you have to keep renting to keep the lights on. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you in plain files, with a proper handover. We're here to set it up and help it grow, not to hold your business hostage.
The monthly tiers are $1,497 (Advisor, built together), $2,997 (Operator, plus a new automation shipped for you every month) and $4,997 (Partner, unlimited builds), and the path in is staged. It starts with a free discovery call. Then the Opportunity Assessment, from $747 (you plus up to two of your team; larger teams quoted on the call): your AI Strategy Blueprint plus a roadmap naming the six automations to build first. It's non-refundable because the Blueprint is the deliverable, and it's yours to keep whatever you decide. If you continue, the full $747 credits toward month one, so the first paid step was free. The roadmap prescribes the tier; most founders land on Operator.
Two. Your base system is live within 14 days and your first automation within 30, or month one is refunded. And every automation ships with a target we set together before we start: if it's not hitting that target in real use, I rebuild it as many times as it takes at no extra cost. Both hold as long as you do your part, which means recording the task once, providing access, and giving feedback within a week of each build.
