20yr enterprise tech → helping small business owners free up time and get in front of new opportunities using AI and automation.

Saturday morning. My assistant's brief is three lines: no meetings, two follow-ups due Monday, one email worth answering.

That's the whole point. Not more AI. Less chasing.

Two ways to get the assistant: join the next small cohort and build it with a room and help, or follow the self-serve guide and start today.

Both start here: https://t.co/eZOAHxMw4O

Same assistant either way.

The assistant workshop caps at 12 so I can screen-share and actually help. Cohorts fill.

If running your day instead of chasing it sounds good, grab a waitlist spot before the next one closes:

Don't want to wait for the cohort?

The whole build is also a self-serve guide. Cowork if you want the simple path, Claude Code if you want it in local files you can inspect.

Start today: https://t.co/uaETgHBD4j

The "what you build" list from my assistant workshop:
- morning brief (meetings + open loops + priorities)
- per-meeting prep from contact history
- post-meeting capture and follow-up
- high-priority email filtering
- business memory in plain text files

Honest question for anyone in back-to-back meetings: how many follow-ups did you promise this week that you have already forgotten?

That gap is the whole reason I built a daily assistant. Building your own with a small group: https://t.co/eZOAHxMw4O

[Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude @builtwithjon]

Three things my assistant does every day, in order:

Morning brief. Today's meetings, what's open, what actually needs me.
Meeting prep. Who I'm seeing, what we last talked about, what I owe them.
Capture. The follow-up gets written down before the next thing starts.

It runs under my review. It does not act on its own.

I built an AI assistant for myself because I kept walking into meetings cold and forgetting what I promised an hour earlier.

Not a chatbot. A morning brief, prep before each meeting from past history, and capture after so follow-ups stop dying.

Building it with a small group in two sessions: https://t.co/S00AxPCmu2

People ask what an "AI assistant" actually does once you strip out the hype. Here is the honest version, the same one I use daily. Six parts, two sessions to build. Swipe through.

Prompt - clarifying questions or dialogue - plan - defacto goal

@thsottiaux Prompt - correcting questions or dialogue - plan - defacto goal

@MatthewBerman Make more paperclips is the goal

@Adam__Allcock Good one! I built a similar skill this week. Annoying the web UI uses subscription and the API is at cost.

[Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude @builtwithjon]

Today's Claude says "This is important — my earlier "30-day" claim was wrong, and the plan proves it. Let me confirm exactly what the live shared service actually contains.". That is all.

[Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude @builtwithjon]

@MatthewBerman @DaveShapi Just a ploy to slow down competitors.

[Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude @builtwithjon]

@kr0der It’s going to take a lot more than that to be really good memory for agents

@Teknium How do you pick a profile?

[Jonathan Malkin 🦊 | Building with Claude @builtwithjon]

@thsottiaux Only if you change your name to TurboChad.
