Most founders use AI like a search engine they can talk to. The serious ones build it into how their business actually runs. AI Brain installs the systems, skills, and connections that turn your Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini subscription into a compounding business asset, in two to four weeks.
You pay for Claude or ChatGPT. You have fifteen Google Docs and seven Notion pages. You still copy-paste context into every new chat. You still rewrite the same prompts every Monday. Your co-founder cannot pick up the workflows you have built inside your own head. When investors ask what the tech play is, you talk about agents and automation, but two questions deep, it is just you, typing.
The problem is not that you are using AI badly. You are probably ahead of most founders in your peer group. The problem is that nothing you build with AI compounds. Each chat starts from scratch. Each workflow lives in your own head. Each new model release breaks the prompts that used to work. You are running fast and standing still.
This is not your fault. The market is flooded with people selling AI workshops, AI courses, and AI consulting that all sound the same and none of which leave you with anything you can hand to your co-founder on Monday. AI Brain is built differently.
Three pillars, installed properly, in two to four weeks. This is the method behind every AI Brain engagement.
Your knowledge store (Notion, Google Drive, or Obsidian) connects directly to your AI. Documents, briefs, decks, and notes become available without you uploading them. The hour a day you currently spend re-pasting context disappears.
The three to five jobs you do every week become tuned project workspaces with reusable skills. Brand briefs, investor updates, customer replies, campaign strategy. One click, not one hour. They get better over time, not worse.
Written definitions of the AI colleagues your business needs. The sales development rep, the operations manager, the analyst. Each one with a clear job description, escalation rules, and quality bar. Your next hire starts with a system that already works.
Not another AI consulting offer that all sound the same.
Every Sprint and Starter includes an evaluation rubric that codifies the four or five things you check when you rewrite AI output. Tone, framing, audience respect, absence of buzzwords, whatever your specific markers are. Every future output gets measured against it. The system sounds like you, not like the internet.
The point of every engagement is that you can run the system without me afterwards. Documentation, handover sessions, clear maintenance instructions. If you reach the point where you do not need me any more, that is a successful engagement. Ongoing care is your choice, not a contract you cannot escape.
I will tell you which subscriptions to cancel. I will tell you when AI is not the right answer. I will not push you toward the Sprint if the Starter is the right fit for your stage. I do not work with companies whose product has net-negative social impact.
Twenty-five years of technical leadership. Co-founder and CTO at Unmind (Series C). VP Technology at Vault Platform (acquired by Diligent in 2025). AI Brain was built from the daily reality of running a one-person fractional practice through Claude. Every skill, archetype, and integration is one I have used on myself first.

Most founders start with the Audit and choose either Starter or Sprint from there. Exit at the end of any phase. No lock-in.
A 90-minute strategy session. I review your current tool stack and workflows, identify the three highest-leverage changes you can make this week, and send a short follow-up note.
Best for: founders who want to stress-test their setup before committing to anything bigger.
A half-day diagnostic with a written report. I review your tool stack, project instructions, knowledge stores, and top three workflows, then send a prioritised roadmap of what to fix, build, and decommission.
Fee credited against the Starter or Sprint if you proceed within 30 days.
Best for: founders who want a clear plan before investing in a build.
A two-week engagement that installs your single highest-leverage workflow properly. One tuned project workspace, supporting skills, one connected knowledge source, an evaluation rubric, and a written handover.
Fee credited against the Sprint if you upgrade within 60 days.
Best for: pre-revenue founders who want a real win before investing in the full build.
A four-week engagement that installs the full Founder AI Brain Framework. Three tuned project workspaces, a reusable skills library, one tools or data integration, written role archetypes, an evaluation rubric, a 30-day handover document, and a live joint session with your co-founder.
Best for: funded founders who want to move fast and ship the whole system in one go.
Engagement scope, deliverables, what's included at each tier, and the AI Brain Care continuation option (£2,500/month, available to Starter and Sprint graduates only). Drop your email and I'll send it across.
Three short scenarios from real engagements. Names and details changed, shape of the problem is real.
A pre-seed founder spends every Monday rebuilding the same campaign brief for a different brand. Two hours, every week, copy-pasting from old Google Docs. Two weeks into a Starter, that flow becomes a tuned project workspace with her tone, her frameworks, and her evaluation criteria. Monday now takes twelve minutes. A hundred hours a year back, from one change.
A founder has built her investor update workflow inside her own head. When her co-founder tries to run it, the output is off-brand and light on detail. In a Sprint we externalise her process into a skill with worked examples and an evaluation rubric. Her co-founder now runs the workflow to her standard. The founder reclaims her time, the business reduces single-point-of-failure risk.
Six weeks after their Sprint, a Care client messages on a Tuesday afternoon. A new model has shipped and their main workflow is behaving oddly. We review together in a 20-minute call, identify that the project instructions need two sentences updated, and ship the fix that evening. This is what the retainer pays for. Not sessions. Moments.
Investors increasingly ask early-stage founders how AI is built into the operating model. Most founders give a vague answer about agents, automation, and efficiency, then change the subject. The honest answer is that they have not had time to build a real system, and what looks like an AI strategy is actually one founder typing into a chat window on weekends.
After an AI Brain engagement, the answer is different. You can open the tuned workflow, walk the investor through it, show them the evaluation rubric, point at the archetypes that cover the roles you have not hired yet, and say: this is how we run lean now, this is how we scale to ten times the volume without ten times the headcount, this is the system. That is a real answer. It is also documented, repeatable, and survives the next model release.
The Sprint is not the cheapest way to make your business more efficient. It is the cheapest way to make your tech story stand up to investor scrutiny.
If that sounds like you, the Audit is the right first step.
Book a free 30-minute discovery call. No prep required. We'll spend the first ten minutes on what you're trying to solve, the next ten on whether the Audit, Starter, or Sprint is the right entry point, and the last ten on questions. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you that and point you at someone or something that is.
