A guide for solo founders

Your inbox drafted and your subscriptions found, without handing over the keys.

Two AI systems for a solo founder: one finds every recurring charge the business pays, one reads your inbox and drafts replies in your voice. Both draft and report. Neither sends, cancels or spends.

Opens instantly · works with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini · 14-day refund, no questions

This is for you if

  • You do the client work and all the admin, and the admin has become a second job
  • The inbox has more unread than you can face, and the replies you owe are the ones you are avoiding
  • You are paying for tools you cannot name, and a trial converted last month without you noticing

Probably not for you if

  • You have a team or an assistant who already runs your inbox and your subscriptions
  • You want something that sends replies for you. Nothing in this guide sends anything, by design

What's inside

Ten workflows, each with the full prompt, a worked example on a fictional business, and two or three ways to bend it to yours.

Plus: a 20-minute setup that gives the AI your context once, the rules that keep client contracts with commercial terms and everything else sensitive out of it, a weekly 15-minute routine, and what to do when it goes wrong.

One of the prompts, so you can see the goods

Your voice profile, so drafts sound like you

Read my last 30 sent emails to clients and suppliers [EITHER "from my connected sent mail" OR "pasted below, with names and any figures removed"]. I want you to learn how I actually write, so that drafts sound like me and not like a template.

[PASTE here]
--- END INPUT ---

Tell me:
- My usual greeting and sign-off.
- My average sentence length, and how formal or casual I am.
- Any recurring phrases that are clearly me.
- A short phrasing library, using my real words, for the situations I write about most: following up a quote, chasing a supplier, chasing a late payment, saying something is running behind, saying no to extra work.

Give it to me as one block of plain text I can save underneath my context document. Under 250 words. Do not invent phrases I did not use. If you cannot tell something from the sample, say so rather than guess.

You get back a block under 250 words, in your own phrases, that every reply draft reads before it writes anything.

Who wrote this

Kate Herbert, Air Kick

I built a seven-figure ecommerce business and sold it, and I run my current company on AI agents. I coach Australian small businesses on where AI actually fits. These guides are the setups I'd walk you through on a call, written down so you can do them yourself.

If you'd rather someone did it with you: the AI Audit and AI Concierge exist for that.

Fair questions

Before you buy

Do I need to be technical?

No. Every step is paste a prompt, answer some questions, read what comes back. There is nothing to install and nothing to code. If you can write an email you can do chapter 1 in about 20 minutes.

Which AI tool do I need, and does it cost money?

Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The prompts work in all three, and Claude is the one I would pick. A free account is enough to start. Connecting your inbox and running on a schedule may need a paid plan depending on the tool, so check its current pricing page before you decide.

Is my client information safe?

Chapter 2 is the rules. Four things never go in: client contracts with commercial terms, bank and card numbers, other people's contact details in bulk, anything under NDA. Every prompt tells the AI to note that a contract or a bank detail exists and not read it out, every prompt has a paste-in version so you never have to connect your inbox, and there is a two-minute de-identify routine for anything you paste by hand.

What exactly do I get?

One guide. A setup chapter with an interview prompt and a fill-in template for your context document. The safety rules. Ten workflows covering both systems, each with the complete prompt, an example run and tweaks. A weekly 15-minute routine. A chapter on what to do when it goes wrong. Updates for 12 months.

What if it's not for me?

14 days, full refund. Email hello@airkick.co. No proof needed.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

Asking ChatGPT to sort your inbox gets you a generic answer, because it does not know your business, your clients or how you write. This guide builds that context once, then gives you prompts that read it every time, with the never-send and never-touch-money rules written in. The difference is not the tool. It is what the tool has been told.

Will it send emails or cancel subscriptions for me?

No, and it is built so it cannot. The Spend Sentry reports. The Inbox Assistant drafts. You read, then you send or cancel. The scheduled versions carry the same rule, because a system that runs while you sleep is the one that needs it most.

Does it work if I do not want to connect my inbox?

Yes. Every prompt has a paste-in option. You copy the emails or statement lines in by hand, after the de-identify routine, and the prompt reads those instead. Slower, safer, same result.
