For busy professionals. Live online with Josh Cross
Set up an AI assistant that actually works, by noon.
A live 3-hour online workshop with Josh Cross. Thursday, November 19, 9 AM to noon Mountain. You build it with your own work and email, in your own Claude.
If your AI assistant isn't working by noon, I keep helping you by email until it is.
$97 now. $147 after Friday, November 13, at 5 PM Mountain.
Plus two courses, the full replay, and Kai Link to keep.
Works by noon or I keep helping. Full refund through Thursday, December 3.
You need Claude Pro, $20 a month. The setup step checks your plan first.
“You may have just saved my quality of life.”
“The future is already here. It’s just not very evenly distributed.”
How this is different
Why this is unlike any AI workshop you've been to
Some people already have AI doing real work for them every day. On Thursday, you get yours. Claude can do almost anything. Out of the box, most of it comes out just okay. On Thursday we set it up for your work, so a few jobs come out really well. We cut the noise, so you only set up what you'll use.
1
You build on your own work and your own email.
You bring your real work, so what you build on Thursday is what you use on Friday.
2
A coach inside your Claude keeps your place.
It's called Kai Link, and you type “next” to get each step. If you get lost, it knows exactly where you are.
3
You leave with it working, or I keep helping.
I stay with you by email until your AI assistant does its job.
Sound familiar?
Does this sound like your week?
“My inbox is a pile I never finish.”
“I can't remember who I owe a reply.”
“Claude gives me answers that could be for anyone.”
“I don't have time to learn one more tool.”
“I'm afraid of what AI might send in my name.”
“Everybody says AI saves time, and I'm still answering email at 9 PM.”
Your AI assistant does the paperwork, so you get your evenings back.
What you build
Five jobs your AI assistant does by noon
Your AI assistant lives inside your own Claude. Each job below is a real step on Thursday. Once it's set up, you hand it the work.
1
It knows your work.
You answer seven questions out loud or in writing, and Claude builds you a journal it reads first in every new chat.
“Josh helped me build an AI system in Claude, that is trained on my past, my current state, and my goals.”
2
It knows who matters.
You give each sender one, two, or three stars, so it learns which emails deserve you first.
3
It briefs you on your inbox.
Any morning you ask, you see what came in, what you owe, and what's on your calendar today.
4
It drafts your replies in your voice.
You read each one and decide, and nothing is ever sent for you.
5
It keeps its own notes up to date.
You add a small helper, called a skill, that keeps your journal up to date as your work changes.
How Kai Link works: you type “next” and Claude does the rest
Kai Link is like a coach you connect to Claude. It walks you through each step and keeps your place.
1
Add Kai Link to your Claude.
It's one small box and you type two things.
2
Say you're at the workshop.
Claude finds your plan, your tools, and your step.
3
Type “next.”
Claude hands you each step and checks it with you before moving on.
There are no slides to copy from, so nobody falls behind.
A look inside
What you'll see on Thursday
Example business: Jordan Lee, Lee Family Chiropractic. These screens come from the real steps, with made-up information.
Talk for one minute and Claude writes it all down.
Pick one, two, or three stars, and Claude learns who matters.
Claude writes the reply and you press send, because Claude never does.
Open a brand-new chat. It already knows you.
Your starting point
Wherever you are with AI, you leave with a system that keeps getting better.
Whether you're new, you've dabbled with it, or you're a power user, it's useful for you. You leave with a setup your Claude uses in every chat, and that gets better as you use it. The setup step checks your plan and your tools, then picks your path. Gmail or Outlook, with or without a calendar, it fits you.
New to AI
You start at the very beginning, one small step at a time, and Claude does the clicking.
Dabbled with AI
You bring over what it already knows about you, so you don't start from zero.
Power user
You skip the basics. You add the journal, the senders list, and a skill of your own, so your Claude knows you in every new chat.
Kai Link to keep, and email help through December 3
If you change your mind
No refund
A full refund for any reason, through Thursday, December 3

What people say about working with Josh
In their own words.
Is this too hard for me?
“I can’t express enough, how easy Josh made the process.”
“From this review, I'm hoping you can see he works well with people who are older and/or need extra patience in the process!”
If you can answer questions about your work, you can do this.
A real result
“You may have just saved my quality of life and I won't forget it.”
“Kaizn AI has completely changed the way we execute our business.”
Your teacher
Why I teach this
I'm Josh Cross. Teaching is the thing that gives my life purpose, and that's why I built the Kaizn Academy. I started using Claude heavily in February and I've made nearly a billion words with it. A lot of those were wasted, because I was learning by doing.
I run my own company with Kai, the AI assistant I built in Claude. I don't know anyone with an AI assistant that does what Kai does. On Thursday you build the first piece of your own.
I built software for a company in two months without being a developer.
Kai is the mascot you'll meet inside Kai Link. Danica put it this way: “Whatever your AI needs, Josh and Kai can help you.” Danica

Be honest with yourself
Is this for you?
This is for you if
You run a business or work in one, and your email takes too much of your day.
You have Claude Pro or higher.
You're happy to read each draft before it goes out.
Skip it if
You want Claude to send mail for you. It drafts and you send.
You plan to stay on the Free plan. This workshop needs Claude Pro.
Answers
Questions you might have
Do I need to know how to code?
Nope. You type, or you talk.
Which Claude plan do I need, and what does it cost?
You need Claude Pro. It costs $20 a month, or $17 a month if you pay for a year. If someone has to approve it, ask before Thursday. The setup step checks your plan first.
Gmail or Outlook?
Both work. The setup step checks which one you use and picks your steps.
My work email won't let Claude connect. Now what?
Some work accounts need your IT person to say yes. If they say no, you skip the email steps. You still get the journal and the skill. The setup step shows you which path fits. If your company pays for Claude on a Team or Enterprise plan, the plan’s owner may need to add Kai Link for you first.
Is my data safe?
Your email stays between your own Claude and your email account. Kai Link never opens it. The memory step tells you to leave out anything private. Claude drafts, and you press send. If your work has health or legal records, leave them out.
What does Josh see?
Which steps you finished, and a log of each time Claude uses Kai Link. The log keeps the first 500 characters of what Claude sent, with card, Social Security and birth-date numbers taken out. Kai Link never opens your email. It only sees what Claude sends it, and never the rest of your chats.
What if I miss it live or the stream drops?
You get the full replay, and Kai Link knows your step, so you pick up where you left off.
How long do I get access?
You keep Kai Link. There is no end date. If your AI assistant isn’t working by noon, I keep helping until it is. Other email help runs through Thursday, December 3.
Mac, Windows, or phone?
Build on a Mac or Windows computer, because you switch between two tabs. You can also watch on a phone.
I'm not techy.
Good, that's who this is for. Claude does the clicking and you answer questions.
Is there a pitch at the end?
Yes, a short one at the end. I tell the room about a small group I run. You can say no thanks, and everything you build is yours either way.
Why is it so cheap?
I want you to try it, and I want the price to be easy.
Set up an AI assistant that actually works, by noon.
“Josh builds with us, not for us.”
“I recommend his services any chance I get and would love to work with him again!”
P.S. This is for busy professionals who want their email under control. The price goes to $147 after Friday at 5 PM Mountain. If your AI assistant isn't working by noon, I keep helping you until it is.
P.P.S. If you've been meaning to fix your inbox since last spring, this is the morning. Bring coffee.
