You're good at what you do. Like, genuinely good. You run the strategy, the execution, the client work, the creative work — and honestly? You make it look easy.

But behind the scenes, you feel like the duck furiously paddling to keep up - everything runs through you. Every project, every decision, every open loop — it's all living in your head or in scattered systems. And while you've absolutely made that work (because you're that person), there's a cost to being the one who holds everything.

• You want to be in your creative energy — the thinking, the building, the work that actually lights you up — but half your day gets eaten by operational stuff that just... has to get done.
• You've got ideas you're genuinely excited about, but the bandwidth to execute them keeps getting squeezed by everything else on your plate.
• Your best thinking hours go to admin, follow-ups, and context-switching instead of the work only you can do.

You're probably using AI everyday. But it's more like a chatbot than an operational partner. And until now.. you thought that was all it could be. And as good as it is at that level - every conversation starts from scratch. You re-explain your business, your projects, your context... every single chat.

And the stuff that should be easy — prepping for meetings, planning your day, following up on things — still falls to you.
Not because it's hard. But because it feels heavy. It's just alot of context to hold and pull together with everything else you need to do.

You've probably never had a Chief of Staff. Most people haven't. So you don't actually know what it feels like to have someone holding that operational context for you — prepping your day before you even open the laptop, knowing what's on your plate without being told, keeping the threads together so your brain is free for the work that actually matters.

That's about to change....

The Problem Isn't You. It's Just Modern Work

Here's what's actually going on.

Every tool, system, and framework you've tried still relies on you at the centre of it all. Better apps, better prompts, more discipline — they all assume the answer is becoming a more efficient version of yourself.

But the real issue is simpler than that: modern knowledge work is more complex than ever - more than one person can actually hold. That's not a personal failing — it's just maths. We have more information coming at us, more meetings, more emails, more stuff that we are trying to keep organised and keep all the plates spinning.

It's not slowing down. And re-structuring your folders for the 10th time isn't going to solve it.

Which is why the cycle keeps repeating. Something feels off → you assume you need a better system → you rebuild → it fades → you try again.

The underlying issue never changes: you're still the one doing all the holding.

Which is where your AI Chief of Staff comes in... finally a system that has the capacity to hold it all for you.

So Imagine this instead... opening your laptop and your day is already laid out. Meetings prepped. Priorities clear. Follow-ups surfaced. Not because you planned it last night — because your Chief of Staff already handled it.

That's not a fantasy. That's Tuesday for me.

This course teaches you to build that system. A genuine operating partner for your business, taught by a real chief of staff (that's me in my former life for over 10 years)

Introducing Build An AI Chief Of Staff

Turn a generic a chatbot into YOUR Chief of Staff.

This isn't a passive course. It's a build sprint — short video lessons, prompts, and templates. We build together, step by step. By the end, you don't just understand how this works. You have a working Chief of Staff. Built. Running. Yours.

Here's What We Cover:

Module 1: From Generic AI → Your Very Own AI Chief of Staff
This is where your Chief of Staff comes to life. You'll set up your environment, build the brain, and give it enough context about you and your business that it stops being a generic AI and starts becoming yours.

Set up your environment — Get Claude or Cowork ready to go. No fluff, just the setup you need to start building.
Build the architecture — Structure your Chief of Staff's home base so everything has a place — context, skills, knowledge, tools. This is what makes the system portable and scalable.
Build the brain — Give your Chief of Staff a name, a personality, and teach it who you are. Your goals, how you work, what matters to you right now. So every conversation feels like picking up where you left off.

Module 2: From Starting From Zero Every Conversation → Your Chief of Staff Knows Your World
This is where the magic happens. Your Chief of Staff gets connected to your actual knowledge system — so it can reach into your projects, your notes, your decisions, and work from real context instead of guessing.

Connect your tools — Get your Chief of Staff plugged into the tools you're already using so it can actually reach into your world, not just talk about it.
Map your system — Your Chief of Staff learns how your workspace is structured — your projects, how everything connects — so it knows exactly where things live and how to work with them.
Map your context — Surface what matters right now: goals, focus areas, current projects. So your Chief of Staff always knows what you're working on without being told.

Module 3: From Doing Everything Yourself → Your Chief of Staff Handles It
Now your Chief of Staff starts running your day with you. You'll install real workflows across the parts of your work that eat up the most time and energy.

Your day, handled — Your Chief of Staff briefs you every morning, lays out what's ahead, and wraps up your day so nothing falls through the cracks. You stop spending your mornings figuring out what to do and just start doing it.
Your meetings, handled — Walk into every meeting already prepped. Your Chief of Staff pulls up who you're meeting, what you discussed last time, and what needs follow-up. Afterwards, it captures everything so you don't have to.
Your communication, handled — Tell your Chief of Staff what you want to say and it writes it in your voice. Emails, Slack messages, whatever. No more staring at a blank screen trying to find the right words.

Frequently asked questions

What AI tool do I need?

The course is built around Claude (via Claude Code or Cowork), but the system and methodology are tool-agnostic. If you're using ChatGPT, Gemini, or something else — the principles apply and the system is portable.

How long will the course take to complete

Each of the video lessons are under an hour to watch. You'll need to factor in some build time as well. Most people spend a couple of hours on each lesson.

Some people have claimed to get it setup in a couple of hours.

Is this just AI prompts or are we building actual systems?

We're building a complete system. You'll walk away with working AI commands, voice workflows, and automated processes—not just a collection of copy & paste prompts. I want you to understand the building blocks of building AI workflows so you can continue to build yourself.

Do I need to be using Tana?

Nope not at all. The course is designed to plug into whatever knowledge base you already use.

Do I need any coding or technical experience?

None. The AI handles the technical side. Your job is to bring the knowledge of your business and how you work — the course shows you how to translate that into a system.

About Me (Ev, Your Teacher)

I spent a decade as a Chief of Staff — the person behind the person. I've sat in the seat, designed the systems, onboarded executives into workflows they didn't know they needed. I know what this role actually does. Not the buzzword version. The real thing.

Now I help knowledge professionals — coaches, consultants, CEOs, anyone who runs on what they know — build AI systems that give them the kind of leverage that used to require a team.

I've spent the last year building my own AI Chief of Staff (his name is Chad, he's an ENTJ, and he's annoyingly good at his job) and helping clients build theirs. This course is everything I've learned, packaged into a course you'll actually finish.
