You’re on my list. Now let’s get AI working for you.

New dates open every month, and you’ll hear about them first. Tell me what you do, and I’ll show you where to start.

Steal the routine behind 811K views.

Give it about 20 minutes a day for a week, and by Sunday your next week of posts is written and scheduled.

It’s free, it comes with 30 hook prompts, and it works in ChatGPT or Claude. There’s no sales call.

In September 2026, AI made and published 906 posts for me, and they got 811K views.

In my first month, AI made about 30 posts a day for me, and I didn’t post a single one myself.

Get an AI that knows your business.

The free starter gives you a dashboard that shows what’s stuck and what to fix next. Two short guides teach your AI your business and give it a weekly check to run.

It’s free, it opens as soon as you sign up, and there’s no sales call.

In June 2026, I trained PepsiCo’s designers to use AI in their creative work.

More than 12,000 people read my AI newsletter.

I teach people how AI runs my business. It saves me over 30 hours a week and helps me work with my ADHD, not against it.

Keeping up with AI has started to feel like a second job.

“keeping up with AI is becoming almost as much work as using it”

“I’ve tried stuff, watched videos, gone down reddit threads at 11pm... but nothing has given me a clear picture”

“It’s a lot to take in, and it’s hard to know who to trust.”

If that sounded like you, it isn’t your fault.

Let AI handle your back office. You design the process.

Business is hard as a solopreneur or a small team. You’re following up, posting, testing, and it’s hard to show up for everything. Now AI can show up for the parts that are hard.

That’s why it’s called Switchboards. AI handles the connections, and you manage the board.

Meet Danielle

I burnt out doing it the old way.

At my last startup, I always fell behind. I couldn’t keep on top of clients, or our network of over 10,000 designers. So I built a system that works for my brain, and now I help people build theirs.

2017 vs now

Work that took me months on my old Notion board, I now finish the same day.

Spain

My app downloads doubled, and I wasn’t even working.

Hospital

When I had a medical emergency, the business kept running.

Every morning

One message tells me what’s going on, including what I’d have missed.

With ADHD, that peace of mind has been a blessing.

Every workshop follows The Switchboards Method.

  1. A blue file box holding a client profile, an invoice and a schedule, with a green tick

    1Visualize

    AI learns your business, so you can see what’s stuck.

  2. A calendar date sent to a phone as a confirmed task, with a notification bell

    2Automate

    AI takes over a task you repeat. You approve what goes out.

  3. A magnifying glass over recurring receipts, beside a calculator and a coin

    3Optimize

    A weekly check shows what worked, so next week is better.

Most people never finish a self-paced AI course. This one is live, so you finish it, and it’s working by the end of the session.

Here’s the process you’ll have running.

The Social Machine

What you’ll set up

  1. Each week, AI drafts your posts in your voice, and you approve them.
  2. They go out on schedule, even on the days you’re busy.
  3. Every week, it rewrites its hooks from what got views, so the next week does better.

Your pick

Training for Teams

What you’ll set up

  1. Your team agrees on one shared way of working with AI.

  3. Every project starts with a ten-minute map, before anyone opens a screen.

Built for people with more ideas than hours.

You’d rather spend your hours on the ideas, and let AI handle the back office around them.

Questions

What’s free, and what’s paid?

The starter kits are free, and the workshops are paid. There’s no sales call.

Which AI do I need?

Most people start with the AI they already use, like ChatGPT or Claude. You don’t need to be technical, and each workshop page tells you exactly what you’ll need before you sign up.

Will it sound like me?

Yes. Every workshop starts by teaching your AI about your clients, your offer and the way you talk, and nothing goes out until you’ve read it.

When are the next dates?

New dates open every month, and people on my list hear about them first. The free starter below is the easiest way to get on it.
