Come for the conversation. Stay for the connections.

Stop paying for four tools and using one badly. Inventory, cut, choose one, and set the workspace up right.

Most business owners are paying for four AI tools and using one badly. In this class we inventory every tool you are already paying for, cut what is not earning its place, and pick the one primary AI tool everything else routes through. Then we set the workspace up properly: projects, folders, where your documents live, and how to open a conversation so the AI knows what business it is working on.

### You Leave With

1. A written stack map of what you keep and what you cancel
2. One primary AI tool chosen
3. An organized, working AI workspace

### Homework

Cancel one subscription. Run one real task through the new setup before next week.

Join us for our Thursday Lunch & Learn, held 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM MDT via Zoom. Register now to reserve your spot and bring your questions, your lunch, and your curiosity.

Build an AI Assistant for Your Business
A Hands-On Workshop with Don Murray, Owner of Ascent AI Labs

Learn how an AI assistant can support everyday business tasks, such as drafting emails, organizing files and preparing forms. Don Murray will guide you through installing, configuring and testing an assistant using your business information and writing style.

The workshop includes:

• A website and competitive visibility audit with recommendations.
• Tools to prepare your business brief and writing style.
• Guided practice on your own laptop.
• Instruction on reviewing responses and refining your assistant’s instructions.

You’ll also take home a reusable “My Business Assistant” folder containing:

• RULES.md: Your business context, communication style and working boundaries.
• TODAY.md: Current notes, decisions and active work.
• ARCHIVE.md: Searchable history of earlier work and decisions.
• WORKSTREAMS.md: Your projects, next actions and owners.
• MORNING_START.md: A startup routine to help your assistant pick up where you left off.

During the workshop, we’ll test this routine in a fresh task so your assistant can identify your business and an active workstream, then ask what you’d like to work on.
