Work with LightWork · For founders

Your personal command centre, set up with you

For founders and people who run their own show. In two weeks you have an AI workspace that knows how you work, handles three to five jobs you do every week, and only sees what you have chosen to share.

Before you ask

Is this for you?

  • You have tried ChatGPT or Claude a few times and got generic answers, or you have not started because everyone explains why and nobody shows you how.
  • You own your email, calendar and files, so you can connect them without asking anyone.
  • You want it working on your real week, not a course about AI.

It is not the right fit if you work on an employer’s email and laptop and would need permission from an IT department.

Example

What yours could look like

A plan for the day, the decisions only you can make, and one list of everything you have promised, with the numbers that tell you where you stand. The example below is for an invented founder, Bongani, who runs a 14-person freight company.

This is an illustration with invented data. Your command centre is built around your own week and the tools you use, so it will not look exactly like this.

01

What happens

Discovery call
45–60 minutes, by video		We map your week: the jobs that repeat, the ones you dread, where your work lives and what must stay private. You get a one-page brief of what your command centre will do.
Set-up session
About 2½ hours, on a shared screen		You drive and we guide. We set up your workspace and standing instructions, connect only what you approve, then build and test three to five routines on your real work until each is good enough to use the next morning.
Your one-page card
Sent after the session		Your routines, how to run each one, what the AI can see, how to disconnect it, and the rules it works by.
30-day check-in
45 minutes, by video		We keep what you use, fix what you don’t, and add one more routine.

02

What it can do for you

You choose three to five of these to start with. Each is built and tested on your own work.

  • Morning brief. Today’s meetings, what each one needs, and anything urgent from your inbox.
  • Meeting preparation. Who you are meeting, what was last agreed, what to decide and the questions to ask.
  • Inbox triage. Sorts and summarises your email and drafts replies in your voice, for you to send.
  • Write like me. Proposals, follow-ups and posts in your voice, from rough notes.
  • Decision memo. The options, risks and a recommendation for a decision you are stuck on.
  • Weekly review. What got done, what slipped, and the three priorities for next week.
  • File jobs. Tidy a folder, turn a spreadsheet into a summary, or draft from your documents.

03

The rules we work by

  • Model training is switched off, and you know what the AI company can still see.
  • It connects only to what a routine needs. Every connection is written on your card, with how to remove it.
  • It drafts and you send. Nothing is sent, deleted or booked automatically.
  • We never log in as you or hold your passwords. You drive; we guide.
  • We work with Claude or ChatGPT, whichever fits the tools you already use.

04

What you need

  • Your own Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus subscription, paid to that company and not to us. ChatGPT Plus is R399 a month; Claude Pro is billed in US dollars, at about R325–R370 a month.
  • That company’s desktop app on a Mac or Windows computer you control.
  • Your own email and calendar, on Google or Microsoft.
  • About 4½ hours across the two sessions and the check-in.

05

Price

R5 000Founding price for the first three founders. The normal price is R8 500.

The price covers the discovery call, the set-up session, your card and the 30-day check-in. In return for the founding price, we ask for your honest feedback at the check-in.

Would you rather do it yourself? A free guide to building your own command centre is in preparation.
