AI integration · In person in La Jolla · Hablamos español
Get your time back with AI.
You already use AI. We set it up properly: on your laptop, built around your business, connected to your real email and files. One-on-one at our La Jolla studio, and working before you leave.
You talk to me, not a call center. — Oz Riveros, your coach
Sound familiar?
Where your time goes.
One sitting
How the workshop works.
Step 1
Set it up.
AI on your laptop, in your name, with the skills, plugins and privacy safeguards your work needs. You see where everything lives, so you can do it again without us.
Step 2
Make it yours.
We teach it who you are, who you serve and how you sound. Then we build one real task, start to finish.
Step 3
Build your own.
Open floor. You learn to build your own tools, for your business and your life. Anything we can't finish today goes on a written list, whether or not you hire us.
Before you leave
You walk out with.
- AI on your laptop that knows who you are, who you serve and how you sound
- The skills and plugins your work needs, installed
- Privacy safeguards, set up and explained
- The know-how to build your own tools, for your business and your life
- A written recap within 48 hours and a check-in at 30 days
You already use AI
So why does it still sound like anyone?
Most people use AI as a chat tab. Every chat starts from zero, so you explain your business again, get something generic back, and rewrite it yourself.
AI works when it's set up: it already knows who you are, it works on your real email and files, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
Where your AI lives
Not in a chat. In your business's own folder.
Chat history isn't memory. Your files are. In the workshop we build one folder for your business, and your AI reads it before every answer.
- 01
Your rules, on top
A short file every chat reads first: how you work, and what it should never do.
- 02
Who you are
Who you are, who you serve and how you sound, in your own words, taken from things you actually wrote.
- 03
Your real work
Past quotes, price sheets, review replies. It learns from your work, not from a description of it.
- 04
Connected
Email, calendar and files, plugged in one at a time and used within minutes.
- 05
Skills
Repeatable jobs, like a quote writer or a morning dashboard, that run when you ask.
- 06
What stays out
Client addresses, gate codes, anything confidential or regulated. We draw the line for your kind of business.
- 07
You approve
AI drafts and sorts. You approve and send.
We usually set this up in Claude, in your name, on your own account. The same layers exist in ChatGPT, if that's what you use.
What you can build on it
The foundation is the hard part. Then you build.
New AI tools ship every month. None of them know your business. The folder we build in the workshop does, and everything you add starts from it instead of from zero.

1
Apps & tools
“Build me a job tracker my crew can use on their phones.”
ClientTwo weeks after his workshop, Chris had connected it to his own proposal builder, something we hadn't even scoped.
-
2
Your website
“Add a spring promo to my homepage, in my voice.”
OursThis page was built this way. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
-
3
Video
“Cut this into three 30-second clips with captions.”
OursBoth videos on this page were made this way.
-
4
Social & marketing
“Plan two weeks of posts from these photos.”
ClientA clinic owner turns photos she never posted into captions in her own voice.
-
5
Pricing & proposals
“What are my three closest competitors charging?”
ClientChris's proposals went from three to four hours to minutes. Feed it your real numbers: its own price guesses run low.
-
6
Books & taxes
“Get my quarter ready for my accountant.”
Straight answerIt gets the books ready and flags what doesn't match. Your accountant still signs.
-
7
Investigation
“Here's a year of invoices. Are we being overcharged?”
ClientChecking one client's public listings found a directory still showing her old out-of-state phone number.
By business
If one of these is you, that's where we start.
- 01
Contractors & trades
Every quote, written by hand, at night.
We set it up with your pricing logic, your scope language and how you talk. You give it your site notes; it drafts the proposal. You check it and send.
- 02
Clinics & wellness practices
The inbox wins every day.
Scheduling replies, follow-ups and the same questions every week, drafted for you to approve. And we say plainly what should never go near an AI system.
- 03
Restaurants & hospitality
Reviews, inquiries, schedules, all on you.
Review replies in your tone, event and catering inquiries answered fast, and the week's numbers summarized on one page you'll actually read.
- 04
Agencies & professional services
Reports and follow-ups eat the week.
Meeting notes turned into tasks and client emails, reports drafted from your data, and research on new leads done before the call.
Proof
What clients say.
Proposals that took three to four hours by hand now take minutes.
Chris, commercial painting
Two businesses, one AI setup built around his voice.

Who runs the room
AI drafts and sorts. A human approves and sends.
I'm Oz Riveros, and I run every one of these myself. I facilitate the way I'd run a table, not a lecture: your business is the world, and I set the scenes and ask the questions. It gets far more honesty out of a room than a slide deck does.
Nothing goes to a client, a donor or a bank without your eyes on it. And I'll tell you when AI isn't the answer. If your files are chaos or your process is broken, wiring AI into it just gets you a faster mess. Sometimes the honest deliverable is "fix this first."

Why this, not a free class
Built with you, not for you.
Free AI classes
Teach what AI is.
Useful background. You go home with notes and nothing running on your own work.
AI agencies
Build it for you.
Then they're gone. When something breaks or your business changes, you're paying someone again.
Lead Wolf
Builds it with you.
On your laptop, on your real work, in your name. You learn to run it yourself. And if the real problem isn't AI, I'll say so.
Hablamos español: the whole process, in Spanish if you prefer.

Ask Oz
Not sure which? Text me. I'll give you a straight answer and a straight price.
Before you call
Straight answers.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can use email and a web browser, you're fine.
What do I bring?
Your laptop, your logins, and one task you'd pay someone to never make you do again. We work on that task.
Whose account is it?
Yours, in your name, on your card. We set it up with you and you own it. We don't resell software, and there's nothing to cancel if we stop working together.
Is my client data safe?
We only connect the tools you choose, and we say out loud what should never go near an AI system: anything under a confidentiality obligation, and anything regulated. If you're in healthcare or education, ask me directly. There are real limits, and I'll tell you what they are rather than guess.
I already use ChatGPT. Is this for me?
Yes, that's who it's for. Most people we work with already use AI and get generic answers back. We set it up so it knows your business and works on your real files. We usually use Claude, and the same ideas carry over to ChatGPT.
Can we do it in Spanish?
Sí. The session, the setup and the follow-up can all be in Spanish.
What if my team doesn't stick with it?
That's the real risk, and it's why the format works this way: everyone builds something for their own job, on their own machine, and leaves with an owner and a date attached. We check in at 30 days.
What if I need more than a workshop?
Some businesses need a bigger system: reporting, quoting and follow-up wired together. That's the Business Diagnostic, a written 90-day plan of what to fix first. Some of it you can do yourself, and we'll tell you which.
