The AI Makeover. Five days, one business, and on the last day you build something while we sit on our hands.
Five consecutive days inside your business, where AI stops being a browser tab somebody opens and becomes the way a piece of your week actually runs.
Think of three things you’ve already got. A staff handbook, except this one’s written somewhere a machine can read it. A set of templates that fill themselves in from your own systems. And a job sheet that quietly records who approved what. The makeover is those three, built by your people, in an account with your name on it.
It’s a week with a date on it rather than a project with a timeline. Starts on a Monday, finishes on a Friday, and you’ll know by the end of it whether it worked.
Machines set up, access sorted out, and the accounts created by you while we’re on the call rather than handed over later. We settle the ownership split and get version control switched on before anything gets built. Nothing visible comes out of Monday, which is precisely why most people skip it, and everything else stands on it.
What a skill actually is, and building your first few against real work rather than a demonstration. This is the day the whole thing starts sounding like your business instead of like everybody else’s AI, and it’s usually the day the room relaxes.
Wiring the skills into a routine and connecting it to the tools you’re already paying for. The work moves out of a chat window and into something that finishes a job on its own.
The routine that’s currently eating your week, built end to end with your hands on the keyboard and ours close by. You ship one with help before you ship one alone, which is the whole reason Friday tends to go well.
You pick the job and you build it. We watch, and we don’t touch the keyboard. If it goes well then the week worked. If it doesn’t, we’ve found the gap while everyone’s still in the room, which is rather better than discovering it on a status call three weeks later.
Most AI engagements spend the first month deciding what to do. A makeover spends the first day getting the boring infrastructure right and then starts building, so you’re looking at working systems by Wednesday afternoon.
The compression isn’t a trick and it isn’t a shortcut. We’ve done the setup enough times now that the kit carries it, so the days you’d otherwise spend discovering what breaks have already been spent by us, on somebody else’s build.
On the last one, an hour a lead became one approval a morning.
Your organisation account, your billing, your keys. You create it on Monday, so there’s nothing to transfer at the end and no handover to negotiate.
Personal accounts stay personal. Anything the business would miss the day somebody left belongs to the business.
What the business knows, gathered up once, somewhere the AI can read it. Every skill you build afterwards is better because it’s there.
Built against the jobs you actually named rather than a generic toolkit. The list grows once people can see what’s possible.
AI wired into the tools you’re already paying for, instead of another window to copy and paste between.
Built for the business and for each person in it, so what comes out actually sounds like you.
Written out of the week’s own work. The documentation’s a by-product rather than a project you have to run afterwards.
Every skill versioned, every change dated and attributed. It keeps itself, because version control went on during Monday.
The one that matters most. A system built for you is one you ring somebody about. A system you built is one you can change on a Tuesday.
Five days is a lot of your people’s time, and that’s the cost nobody puts in a quote. Two of your team need to be genuinely available all week rather than dipping in between meetings. A week where they’re half present produces a system nobody feels they own, which is the exact thing this is meant to prevent.
The other one is Friday. Some people won’t be ready to build on their own by then, and we’d far rather find that out with everybody still in the room than have you discover it later on your own. If Friday doesn’t go the way we hoped, we’ll say so and we’ll tell you what would fix it.
If you can’t give the week the people it needs, we’d say wait until you can. It’ll still be here.
An hour, virtual or in person. Tell us what your week actually looks like and we’ll work out together whether a makeover would fix it. What’s the job you’d want built on the Thursday?
