Using ChatGPT but not getting much out of it?

I sit down with you for two hours, look at how your business actually runs, pick the two tasks worth automating, and set the first one up with you, live, on your own tools. You leave with something working.

Solutions

Real tasks, real numbers

No client names, no hype. Each one is a task I have automated, what it cost before, what it costs now, and how it stays accurate.

Video and podcast transcripts into finished content

Before
Recordings sat for weeks. Transcript, summary, titles, descriptions and social posts were all written by hand, 6 to 8 hours per recording.
After
Drop a recording in a folder. Transcript, summary, titles, descriptions and social posts are ready in minutes. What is left is a read-through.
Accuracy
Every output is read against the transcript before it goes out. Nothing publishes on its own.
6 to 8 hrssaved per week, at minimum

Research notes or voice memos into explainer videos, with the research

Before
A note or a voice memo became a researched, scripted explainer video only after about 4 hours of reading sources, drafting and checking each claim, and the checking was the part that slipped.
After
The note goes in. Sources are gathered, a script comes out with every claim tagged by how well it is supported, and the video is generated from the approved script. A five-reviewer pass flags anything overstated before a person reads it.
Accuracy
Medical content, so the bar was high. The owner signs off on every script. The system makes the review faster, not optional.
4 hrssaved per week, at minimum

A text message thread with Claude

Before
Ideas and small tasks came up on the road or between appointments, got texted to someone or to yourself, and were lost or retyped later at a desk.
After
You text a content idea or a task to a thread in iMessage the way you'd text a colleague. It is picked up, sorted, and added to the right list or started as a draft, with the original message attached.
Accuracy
Each item links back to the message it came from. Nothing is paraphrased without a source, and nothing is sent anywhere without you.
6 hrssaved per week

A daily market brief from 10 channels and 20+ videos a day

Before
Keeping up with 10 finance channels meant watching 20 or more videos a day, or not keeping up.
After
Transcripts are pulled twice a day and turned into one page: what was said, by whom, and what changed since yesterday. Read in ten minutes.
Accuracy
Every line names its source channel and time. Opinions stay labelled as opinions.

Also built

Different businesses, different problems, same approach: find the part that eats the week and build the smallest thing that fixes it.

  • A photo inventory of 34 storage bins, every item photographed and every bin numbered, on a searchable page so the owner can find anything from their phone.
  • A custom Claude setup for a senior healthcare manager, loaded with their role and key projects. They put the productivity gain at 25 percent. Their number, not mine.
  • 4 TB of family photos and videos deduplicated and organized onto one drive, so the family has a single copy that is actually findable.
  • Teaching school kids to use AI in their own voice: tone that still sounds like them, practice quizzes before tests, and a study guide built from what past tests actually asked.
  • A full week in PEI planned for a family: drive routes, stops and places to eat on the way, an itinerary with something for every age, and two printable versions, one for the adults and one for the kids.
  • A clinic website built from scratch with its own brand, fonts and video, on a stack the owner can maintain without a developer.
How a session works

Two hours. One thing running when we're done.

  1. 01 · 30 MINWalk through the weekYou show me how work actually moves: where leads come from, what gets written over and over, where time goes.
  2. 02 · 15 MINPick the two that matterThe two tasks where AI saves the most time with the least disruption. Usually emails, proposals, call notes, or posts.
  3. 03 · 60 MINBuild the first one, liveOn your tools, with your real examples, in your voice. We adjust until it sounds like you.
  4. 04 · 15 MINMap the second oneExactly how it would work, so you can do it yourself or have me back for it. A written summary follows within 48 hours.
Do I need to be technical?

No. You keep working in the tools you already use. Nothing gets installed that you have to maintain, and I will not hand you something only I can run.

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing. Bring a normal week. The examples we build from are your real emails, quotes and notes, not made-up samples.

Will it replace anyone on my team?

That is not what I am selling. The work this removes is the retyping and the chasing. Your people still do the judgement, and they still check what goes out.

About

Not selling hype

I have worked in digital marketing, brand strategy and content production since 1996. I have built websites, run campaigns, produced podcasts and finance shows, and spent the last 18 months as co-founder and head of communication at a medical science company, where I built the AI content and research systems myself. That work had to meet a high bar for accuracy, so I know how to make these tools useful without letting them make things up.

Most of what is marketed as AI right now is noise. The useful part is narrow, practical, and specific to how your business runs. That is the part I help with. I work best one on one, with owners who want something working, not a slide deck.

Pricing and booking

One session. One price. You own what we build.

No retainer, no subscription, no upsell during the session. If you want me back, a follow-up session is the same price, or a small monthly on-call option for questions and fixes.

Email patrick@patrickwagner.com or text 437-261-5456 with one line about your business and what you are hoping to fix. I reply within a day with a few times.
