Most people are using about 5% of what AI can do
If yours still answers questions in a chat window, you’re using it the way we all did in 2023. What’s changed is that it now works your computer and your browser — taking over a great deal of what you still do by hand. For me, that has been at least 10 hours a week of tedious work, gone. This is my own setup, in short videos you watch one at a time — the same one I set up for my private clients.
$100, lifetime access. Both modules are recorded and ready to watch now, at whatever pace suits you.
Using AI like it’s 2023
Here’s the 2023 experience, and it’s still what most people mean by “using AI”: you open a chat, ask a question, get a decent answer, and copy it somewhere. Genuinely useful. Also about five percent of what’s now sitting there waiting for you.
What changed is that AI moved out of the chat box and onto your actual computer. It can automatically analyze the files you have, in whichever folder you give it access to. It can drive your browser. It can run a multi-step job overnight and tell you in the morning what happened. It can watch something on a schedule and stay quiet until there’s something you’d want to know.
However, the apps look about the same as they did two years ago — so most of us are still typing questions into the same little box, while the thing on the other side became capable of doing the work.
This course is designed for non-technical people.
The habit that unlocks the rest is simple: give it one folder that holds your business, and let it work from there. Once it can see your actual material, it stops asking who you are, it writes more like you, and whatever you build with it is still there next month.
One folder, a couple of settings, and a handful of habits. That’s the setup — the one I use every day, and the same one I walk my private clients through. It used to eat into time they were paying me for.
The other 95%
Think of a skilled assistant sitting at your computer — one who can do nearly anything you could do there yourself, and who never gets bored of the parts you hate.
Everything below is real work mine has done. Not demos, and not what it could theoretically manage — the actual jobs I’ve handed over, from the same setup you’ll build in Module 1.
It’s my list, though, at my scale, after a couple of years of practice. You won’t recognize all of it — I wouldn’t have either. So start with the box below. Everything after it is there to show you where this goes, not what you have to do.
Module 1 builds that setup. In Module 2 you start handing the work over — and you won’t have to invent your own list, because I give you mine.
Where it starts
Not the impressive jobs. The four below are the ones I’d hand over first, and they have something in common: each is a piece of the seven practices that almost every soulpreneur I know believes in, intends to do, and never actually gets to. Not because they’re hard. Because they take more reading than a person has hours for.
- —Finally name your own framework. It’s already in there — spread across years of posts, session notes, workshop handouts and half-finished docs, said slightly differently every time. Point your assistant at the whole pile (even if it’s hundreds of files or more) and ask about the recurring themes, or ask for a structured framework of 5, 7, 12 steps, etc. The AI can capably read all of it, in minutes, something that would’ve taken you months to read and analyze.
- —Do the hat manuals — not just write them. One process for each hat you wear: launching, hosting, onboarding, invoicing. Walk through it once with your assistant watching and it writes the manual. From then on it runs the manual — you say the word and the whole process happens. And the ones that come round on a schedule you can hand over completely: set it to recur, and it just happens, without you having to remember it was due.
- —Read the feedback you already collected. Every end-of-session form, survey reply, and thank-you note you’ve gathered for years... and never had time to fully read and find the testimonials and the most important next-steps.
- —Get your case studies out of your head. You know which clients had the transformation. The reason there aren’t five written up is the writing. Hand over the notes, the recordings, the emails from that engagement and let it draft the story — then you make it true and get their blessing.
None of these needs you to be technical, and none of them is a new practice to adopt. It’s the work you already decided mattered, finally getting done.
The chores that come back forever
- •Queue next week’s reminder emails from the calendar that holds your real commitments — and re-check the ones already queued, because dates move and a stale reminder sends people to a class that isn’t there.
- •Check that your sales page price still matches what the cart charges. A launch discount ends on its own; the page keeps advertising it. Almost every run reports “nothing to do,” which is what a good check looks like.
- •Sweep the spam and trash folder for the real message that got filed wrong. Mine reads about a hundred a run. In three months it rescued exactly one thing: a reader’s honest, critical reply, thirty days from silent deletion.
- •Make the unsubscribes actually stick. Thirty-eight people in the first week had already asked to be left alone and were still being emailed through a channel nobody was watching.
Things nobody could read all of
- •Every kind word you’ve ever received, gathered and counted rather than remembered. Mine found 341 verbatim pieces from about 230 people across fourteen years and six platforms.
- •The feedback nobody ever read. Eighty-two written responses had sat untouched since 2024. Four different people, across nineteen months, had independently asked for the same small thing.
- •Your back catalogue, checked for what would embarrass you now. Mine read 433 old videos for claims that had stopped being true and flagged 47 — each with the exact sentence.
- •Every link in your published archive. 386 posts, 51 dead links nobody had ever reported, all repaired.
Things you’d never have attempted
- •A whole publishing channel out of work you already did. Those same 433 videos became a weekly podcast that schedules itself a month at a time. About three years of runway.
- •One blog post becomes a ten-slide illustrated carousel — copy, visual style, every image generated, handed to me as two versions so I pick rather than brief.
- •An app for an audience of one. A paper workshop handout I liked became a working interactive tool in an afternoon. Nobody commissions software for one person.
- •A year, re-planned backwards from the teaching days I’d already committed to. It handed me back fourteen free weeks — and told me the scarce thing was Tuesdays, not weeks.
Things you had wrong without knowing
- •A number I’d been reading wrong for years. I thought my work had declined. Scoring each post against its own era turned a performance cliff into a measurement artifact.
- •Tests that never meant anything. Five months of email subject-line experiments, run properly through the statistics. Every “winner” sat inside the margin of error.
- •A silent breakage nobody would ever report. 424 people had been added to a list but never given the access tag, so two emails sent them to a page saying they had no access. Nothing errored.
- •An apology that didn’t need sending to everyone. The work of finding exactly who was affected took it from 232 people to 15.
The load you were carrying in your head
- •One morning conversation that replaces the notifications. Around fifty jobs run here while I sleep; the check-in tells me only the handful that need me. Most mornings, none of them do.
- •The idea you don’t want to start. I flag something “not now” and it gets filed into whichever project will use it, instead of becoming one more thing I feel behind on.
- •A dated ledger of the low-frequency things — the once-a-quarter, once-a-year, eight-weeks-before-the-trip ones. The goal is that you write down less over time, not more.
- •A single label that means “deal with this.” I tap one emoji on an email and overnight it gets read, routed, researched or summarized. No forwarding, no new app — the label is the instruction.
Looking after people
- •A visit cadence for aging parents, planned eleven months out around the birthdays we’d never move, written into my work calendar so work can’t quietly eat the trips.
- •Medical documents you can’t read. Lab reports photographed at a foreign-language clinic, translated and turned into three things worth asking a doctor.
- •A plan for the people you’d leave behind. Mine walks my wife through everything, one step at a time. She never has to read a manual — she just talks to it, and it knows what comes next.
- •Something to read when you wake up. A fresh reading written overnight and waiting on my phone, never repeating a source within ninety days.
At least 10 hours a week of tedious work, gone
That’s my honest estimate, and I suspect the real number is higher — I stopped counting a while back. The checking, the formatting, the chasing, the filing, the reconciling. Work that had to happen, and that nobody, including me, ever wanted to be doing.
I don’t work fewer hours than I used to. I spend them writing, teaching, and talking with people, instead of maintaining things. That’s the trade this setup makes, and it’s why I teach it.
And what stays yours
An assistant that can do all of that still isn’t doing the part you came for. Some things aren’t available to something that isn’t a person in the room — and a few more are worth keeping on purpose.
- —Your client calls, and every conversation where someone gets tender. Reading that moment and knowing to abandon the plan is the whole craft.
- —The making you actually enjoy. Whatever you’d be sad to hand over — the writing, the teaching, the thing you do because you like doing it — you keep. Handing over the parts you dread is what buys you time for it.
- —The topics you explore because you love them. Nobody needs a research assistant for the reading that isn’t work.
- —Deciding what’s good. Whether a draft is true to you, whether a piece of teaching is finished — felt before it’s nameable, and it decides everything downstream.
- —Sending. Mine drafts; I send. Anything arriving under your name asking for someone’s attention should have had yours first.
None of that list is taught video-by-video, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s what the setup makes reachable — and once you have it, you’ll start seeing your own.
Two modules
You get both. The first you do once, and you’re set up. The second you dip into for years.
Get set up
Get the app onto your computer, learn to let it troubleshoot itself, decide which folders it can see, make sure those files are really there, set two things, and run a 60-second check that proves it worked. With a privacy lesson before the folder decision, because what’s true there changes what you’d show it.
You leave with: an assistant that can see your actual files and describe your business back to you.Work with it
Where you stop asking it questions and start handing it jobs. Talking instead of typing. Teaching it your voice. The two places it remembers you, so a correction sticks instead of evaporating. Work that runs overnight, and the business admin that lives on websites with no export button.
You leave with: your AI doing jobs you used to do by hand — and my whole library, so it can keep finding you the next ones.What’s in it
Module 1 — Get set up
- 1Start here: what you’re about to have — an assistant that answers about your business rather than business in general. And why you’re not becoming technical.
- 2Download the AI desktop app of your choice — Claude or ChatGPT, both links, and which plan to be on. It downloads in the background while you keep watching.
- 3Your AI is your tech support — something in the next few lessons will go wrong. A folder won’t appear, a file will look empty, a button won’t be where I said. Don’t email me and don’t wait on a comment — the thing on your screen can see what I can’t. This is the lesson people tell me changed how they use all of it.
- 4Already comfortable? Take the shortcut — deliberately out of order. If your AI already works your computer, this one move is worth more to you than the rest of the module.
- 5Real talk about privacy — four things people believe, two of them true. It comes before you choose folders, because it changes what you choose. Plus two answers I recorded live when the room pushed back: what’s actually behind the headlines about AI learning to hack and lie, and how much access I give mine — including my entire email history since 2004.
- 6Which folders to point it at — nothing has to move and nothing has to be tidy. Both apps read several folders at once and let you add more later, so this is a decision, not a migration.
- 7Make sure those files are really on your computer — two ways it gets blocked, and one switch that solves both for most people in about thirty seconds. Including the trap that passes every check and still hands back nothing.
- 8The three doors — and the one we’re using — chat, work, developer. One of them is a dead end for people like us, and most people have been living in it.
- 9Two key settings — including the permission setting that’s easy to choose wrong.
- 10Chrome, and why it’s required — both companies say the same thing, so this one isn’t a Claude quirk. Plus a live answer: whether Chrome has to stay open, and the file of hard-won browser lessons I hand your assistant.
- 11The 60-second check that it really worked — proof that can’t be faked or half-finished, run against a demo business so you can see exactly what “working” looks like. Plus: a day in the life with mine — how the approvals, the playbooks and the morning check-in actually run.
There are three optional bonus lessons at the end as well, for anyone who wants to start on Module 2’s material early.
Module 2 — Work with it
Module 2 is a library you dip into for years. It ends by handing you everything I’ve written about running a business this way — a growing library of guides, free and public — and your AI reads all of it against your own situation, then comes back with the four or five jobs that would change your week. Most of those turn out to be admin. The recurring chores, the checks, the piles nobody could ever read all of. Then you bring me whatever came back, at the live Q&A, every month.
- 1Your first real session — how to start, how to interrupt, and where to put anything worth keeping.
- 2Talk, don’t type — the unlock. Your real voice lives in your speech, not your typing.
- 3Teach it your voice — the highest return of anything here. Build a style sheet from your own writing, and correct it out loud when it gets you wrong.
- 4Name things so you never have to remember — you’re not learning its vocabulary, you’re teaching it yours.
- 5The two places it remembers you — why a correction evaporates and you end up saying “didn’t we just go over this?” One file fixes it. It’s also how you stop it handing you the popular version of your field instead of yours.
- 6Your corpus — everything you’ve ever made, indexed and searchable. It will transcribe your audio and video too.
- 7Five ways to use it — thinking partner, research team, council of advisors. One run live, end to end.
- 8Hand it my whole library — a growing library of guides, free and public. You don’t read them; your AI does, against your own situation, and comes back with a shortlist you’d never have written yourself.
- 9Work that happens while you sleep — the one-time setup, the throwaway job you use to prove it fires, and what’s worth handing over first. Mine mostly reports “nothing to do,” which is what a good check looks like.
- 10The jobs that live on websites — your course platform, your email tool, the admin page with no export button. It works in the browser you’re already signed into, so nothing needs to build you an integration.
- 11Check what it says it did — “I didn’t find anything” is the answer least likely to be questioned and most likely to be broken. How I check work I can’t easily re-do myself.
- 12Keep it smart and affordable — the effort dial, checking your usage, and what to do when you hit a limit.
- 13When it goes sideways — what to say when it’s stuck, going in circles, or agreeing with everything, and why almost nothing here is unrecoverable.
Watch whenever you like
Both modules were taught live and recorded, and the recordings are arranged lesson by lesson so you can go straight to the part you need.
Start today and go at your own pace. Pause, rewind, come back to a lesson a month later when you actually need it. And if a question comes up while you’re watching, ask it under that lesson — I answer them there.
And you get me once a month after that. There’s a live Q&A session every month where you can bring whatever you’re stuck on — your setup, your folder, something that isn’t behaving.
What you need
A paid AI plan — ideally not the cheapest one, at least at the start
Plan on about $100 a month to begin with — Claude Max 5x, or ChatGPT Pro 5x. The $20 entry tier throttles the first time you work across a whole folder of your material, which is the entire premise here, so I’d rather tell you now than have you conclude the method doesn’t work. The work this takes off your plate — for me, at least 10 hours a week of it — would cost $1,000 to $2,000 a month in a human assistant. I want you going in with that math.
And you can drop down later. Plenty of people should. The heavy month is the one where it reads your whole body of work and sets things up. Once that’s done, a lot of the ongoing work is small, and the $20 plan — or less — carries it comfortably. Downgrade whenever it stops feeling worth it; go back up for a month when you’ve got something big to hand over. There’s a lesson on watching your usage and pulling that lever, and nothing about this course assumes you stay on the expensive plan.
A Mac, ideally
Everything is demonstrated on a Mac. Windows works — same steps, different keystrokes — but you’ll be translating a little.
A little lead time
One step has your files syncing in the background, and on a large drive that can run overnight. Start it the day you begin, not the night before you need it.
Claude or ChatGPT
Either works!
The demos on screen are in Claude, because one course with one cursor is clearer than two half-courses. The ideas underneath are the same in either app, and each lesson carries the ChatGPT equivalent in writing, right below the video.
Both apps now connect to real folders on your computer, with your permission, and work with what’s in them — which is the capability this whole course is built on. They’ve even priced it the same way: about $20 to start, $100 for the tier I’d recommend, $200 for the one you’ll probably want later.
What people wonder
“I’m not technical.”
That’s who this is for. It’s built for people who don’t know how to code, and I point out where the technical door is so you can walk straight past it. All of this is done by talking.
“What will this cost me every month?”
Nothing further from me — the $100 is once, and it’s yours for good. But you do need your own AI subscription, and you should plan on about $100 a month for whichever tool you choose: Claude or ChatGPT. That’s the real cost of doing this, and I’d rather you know it before you buy than discover it in module 2.
“Can I do this on the $20 plan?”
Depends what you end up using it for.
The way I run mine — handling all the admin in my business, ongoing — I need the $100 tier, and I don’t expect that to change.
But if what you mostly want is to get your knowledge organized and run a few big projects through it, like rebuilding your website, a month or two at $100 should be enough. After that you can drop to $20 for the simpler work, and move back up whenever the next big push comes. You can change plans whenever you like.
“Will it be out of date in a month?”
Some of it, yes — these apps change weekly, which is why the course is built the way it is. Every video says the same line: the current steps are written just below this video; if a button has moved since I recorded, the text is right and I’m wrong. I keep that text current, and I re-record the setup module every six months.
“I already use AI every day.”
Then the question is whether you use it in a chat window or on your computer. If your AI can’t open your own files, drive your browser, or run something while you sleep, that’s the gap this closes — and you’ll move through Module 1 fast. If it already can, skip to Module 2; nothing after the setup is sequential.
“I’m in your AI Training Group.”
Then you already have this. Please don’t buy it — it’s the same teaching, in the same sessions.
“Can I share it with my team?”
It’s one person’s license. But it’s lifetime, and if you’re setting up two people in one business, bring that to one of my Q&A calls.
Is this for you?
A good fit if…
- ✓You’re a solo business owner — a coach, healer, teacher, consultant, creator
- ✓You use AI already, and suspect you’re barely scratching it
- ✓You have years of material — writings, recordings, courses — that nobody, including you, can find
- ✓There’s a pile of computer work you still do by hand every week
- ✓You don’t know how to code, and you’d like to keep it that way
Probably not if…
- –You want to learn to code, or to use Claude Code — this course walks past that door on purpose
- –You’re not willing to spend around $100 a month on the AI itself, at least while you’re building this
- –You want someone to set it up for you — this is you doing it
- –You want AI to write for you without teaching it anything first
From people already doing this with me
These are members of my AI training group, in their own words.
“For me, using AI is like having a colleague or intern in my office who can carry out the business tasks I don’t like or am not good at, allowing me to focus on the creative ones that I do enjoy. I learned that you don’t have to be a ‘techie’ to use these tools. I’m 73 years old with a background in teaching English… I’ve never felt more creative and productive.”
Michael Williams“George Kao’s AI course is incredibly helpful, approachable, and human. I appreciate how accessible he makes the material and how responsive he is to members’ questions along the way.”
“I feel more confident, curious, and ready to keep integrating AI in meaningful ways.”
Joy Taylor“This course has enabled me to be more than just a ‘user of ChatGPT’. The greatest benefit I have gained is being able to create a coherent strategy of how to best use AI in my business… This has helped to decrease the level of overwhelm I experience from the presence and rapid changes happening with AI.”
Todd Gorishek“Honestly, I don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with all the nonstop changes happening in AI, let alone figure out what’s actually useful. So it’s been really helpful to have this group, and you as our fearless leader, help curate what matters for a business like mine.”
“It teaches a more thoughtful, creative, and integrity-based way of working with AI.”
Mike WangSet it up once
$100
Complete & lifetime access
(plus your own AI subscription — plan on about $100/month with Claude or ChatGPT)
Once you’ve set up your AI to know your business, you’ll have an assistant that would previously have cost you at least $1,000 a month. Mine gives me back at least 10 hours a week.
Short videos across two modules, the recordings from both live sessions, and a live Q&A with me every month after that. Everything recorded, everything yours for good, including the re-records.
