For solo consultants
Meet the three I'd hire instead of working Sundays
Set each one up once. They just run. One person cannot do the work and the work around the work. Two can.
Waiting on you
Send the three check-ins? Each one references the work you actually did for them. It is the cheapest new business you have and it takes you one click.
Written downso far
In your words
Things people actually ask.
No workflow to build. You say it the way you'd say it to a new hire.
Write up Thursday's session from my notes in the format I use for Ardent.
Who have I not spoken to since March, and what did I do for them last?
Invoice everything delivered this month and tell me what is still outstanding.
The staff
The three I'd hire first.
Hire one, or all three. They hand work to each other, and each is the same Hand with a different brief and different accounts attached. You name them.

The jobs
The jobs they do here.
Each one is a brief, not a feature. Open it for how it goes, where it stops, and what it needs.
These three charges are wrong. Get them refunded.
What am I paying for every month that I have not opened since January?
Do September's expenses from the receipts in this folder.
Go through this morning and tell me only what actually needs me.
Unsubscribe me from everything I have not opened in six months.
Who have I emailed in the last month who never replied?
I have been away since Thursday. What did I miss?
Get the four of us in a room next week, an hour, not Monday.
Book the dentist, the car service and the eye test. Any time except Friday.
Questions
The ones that come up first.
My notes are messy and half of them are voice memos.
That is the normal case. It reads what is there — typed notes, a document, a transcript — and writes up what it can support, marking what it could not. It does not invent the middle. If a memo is unclear it asks you one question rather than guessing.
I work under NDAs. Where does the client's material go?
Into your own Hands account, in one company per client so nothing crosses between them. That separation is enforced in the data rather than by convention. What a turn needs is sent to the AI model doing the work, and nothing is used to train one. You can export all of it, any time.
