You don't need to be a tech person to build with AI.
I'm not one. This is what I found out.

Seven years as an Executive Assistant — mostly emails, calendars, and keeping other people's plans from falling apart. But watching a founder build a business from the inside convinced me of one thing: most of what I did manually could run on autopilot.

I've already made the expensive mistakes: $275 on ads before I understood what I was doing. Twenty courses bought, almost none finished. A planner designed to 90% and abandoned because I thought it needed to be perfect first. I'm not hiding any of that — I'm offering it as protection for you.

My goal for 2026: earn my first dollar with AI. I'm documenting every step, every cost, every thing that doesn't work, so you can see exactly what this actually takes — not the polished version people usually post.

Outside all this: I'm teaching my dog Tofi six commands, one at a time. That's about where I am with patience.

I'd rather do the bare minimum on promises. Whoever hires me will get someone who actually digs into their specific problem — because I've wasted enough of my own time and money to know exactly what that costs someone else.
