A week without the system vs. a week with it

The hours go somewhere. Right now they go through you.

Built for owner-led marketing, creative, design, and digital services agencies with clients to serve and no room left in the founder’s calendar. The pipeline is not the problem. The problem is that proposals, recaps, reviews, pricing, and client updates still run through you.

Your week today

  • You still write or edit every proposal that goes out. 2 to 3 hours each. Then revisions.
  • 45 minutes per meeting turning notes into a recap email.
  • Status updates eat your Friday. Or your Saturday.
  • Scope creep is caught at invoice time, not the day it happens.
  • Pricing decisions are guess-based. Retainers bleed margin.
  • Account leads cannot send anything without your rewrite.
  • The agency slows down when you take a day off.

Your week with the install

  • Recaps drafted from raw notes, verified, then sent.
  • Proposal first drafts pulled from discovery notes in minutes.
  • A Status Cadence clients actually read. No more "where are we" emails.
  • Scope creep flagged the day it happens.
  • Price Sanity Check before you send the SOW.
  • Account leads run client comms inside guardrails you wrote once.
  • Onboarding docs that make a new hire useful in week one, not week six.

You are not broken. Your systems are.

The Agency AI Operating System

Install the core AI workflows your agency runs on.

Most AI training hands you prompts and hopes you remember to use them. This masterclass installs repeatable operating components into your agency with names, owners, templates, verification steps, and automation-ready workflows. Drafts get faster. Client communication gets cleaner. Pricing gets sharper. Quality control gets safer.

The point is not to automate random tasks. The point is to stop making every proposal, recap, status update, scope call, pricing decision, and quality check run through you.

01

The Prompt Recipe

One structured prompt pattern your whole team can use on every AI-assisted draft. Saved, named, and calibrated to your agency's voice so nobody starts from scratch.

02

The Quality Gate

A 5-minute verification pass every draft runs through before a client sees it. Names, dates, numbers, promises, scope, and client risk checked before anything goes out.

03

The Status Cadence

A repeatable client update rhythm that reduces the "where are we?" emails. Account leads get a clear template they can run without waiting for your rewrite.

04

The Scope Control Routine

A simple scan that catches scope creep while it is still small. Spot unclear asks, extra work, missing boundaries, and change-order moments before margin disappears.

05

The Proposal Engine

Turn discovery notes into a stronger first-draft proposal in minutes, with clearer scope, stronger value framing, cleaner next steps, and a Quality Gate before it goes out.

06

The Price Sanity Check

A floor-rate, margin, and fit check before a retainer or SOW goes out. Catch underpriced work and bad-fit leads before they enter the pipeline.

07

The Weekly Owner Summary

A 25-minute weekly review that surfaces what changed, what to stop, what needs a decision, and where the agency is leaking capacity. Your agency stops running only in your head.

Capstone

One Signature AI Helper, live in your agency by Day 30

You choose one repeated workflow your agency actually runs: Client Recap Assistant, Proposal Draft Assistant, Status Update Assistant, or Weekly Owner Summary Assistant. Then you build it with guardrails, test it on real agency work, document it in a run book, and identify what can safely be automated with tools like Zapier, Make, or your existing workflow stack.

What you actually take home

Real results on day one. Not theory.

The curriculum

Six modules. Real Labs on real agency work. 30 days.

Plan to invest 2 to 4 hours per week. Most owners pace at 20 to 40 minutes per day or three focused sessions per week. Every module ends with a Lab on your real agency work, and every Lab requires logging time saved in the Time Saved Tracker. That tracker is the receipt that proves the system is paying for itself. It is also what supports the Install Guarantee.

What 5+ hours per week is actually worth

Run the math against your effective rate, not minimum wage.

Default: $100 effective hourly rate, 5 hours per week reclaimed. That is a conservative starting point for an owner-led agency where founder time still drives sales, delivery, review, and decisions. Slide to your actual numbers. The math gets bigger, not smaller

This estimates capacity value reclaimed by reducing manual admin and rework. Results depend on your role, your team, and whether you actually ship the Labs. We do not promise outcomes you do not earn.

$50 to $500 per hour

1 to 20 hours per week


Monthly capacity reclaimed $2,165
12 month capacity reclaimed $26,000

Assumes 4.33 weeks per month. Estimate, not a guarantee.

About the founder

Built by a systems person. For agency operators.

Vladimir Gundorin, founder of Simplify AI Academy
Vladimir Gundorin
Founder, Simplify AI Academy

Every AI course aimed at agencies was built for people who wanted to start a new AI agency from scratch. Nothing existed for owners who already had clients, a team, and real delivery work and just needed their time back.

My background is systems. For years my job was taking processes that depended on the smartest or most senior person in the room and turning them into workflows that ran without them. When AI became practical, I watched agency owners collect prompts, get occasional wins, and then go right back to personally writing every proposal, recap, and status update. The problem was not capability. It was the absence of a repeatable system.

We install the AI operating system your agency should already have.

Credentials, briefly

  • 10+ years building systems that work when the owner is not in the room.
  • Master's in IT Management. AWS & CompTIA certified.
  • Former IT Systems Analyst — built workflows where reliability was the only option.

I am not a coach. I do not sell a "lifestyle." I build systems that install once and run on rails you trust.

Frequently asked, honestly answered

Questions agency owners actually have.

Is this for me if I run a 2 to 4 person creative shop?

Yes. If you run an owner-led creative, marketing, design, or digital services agency with real client work and too much still running through you, this was built for you. A 2 to 4 person shop is a strong fit, but the real qualifier is not headcount. It is whether founder time is still the bottleneck.

Why is the free preview the actual Module 1?

Because most "free intro" courses are not the real product. We do not bait-and-switch. The free Module 1 is the same Module 1 you get when you buy. When you upgrade, you continue, you do not restart.

I have tried ChatGPT and got random wins. How is this different?

Random prompts produce random wins. Random wins do not change how a business operates. We install named, repeatable components inside your agency: a Prompt Recipe, a Quality Gate, a Status Cadence, a Proposal Engine, a Price Sanity Check, a Weekly Owner Summary, and one signature helper. Each one installs once. Then it runs.

I do not have time for another course. How is this different?

You do not have time for the agency you are running today. That is the problem this fixes. Plan 2 to 4 hours per week across 30 days. The Labs are done on real client work, so the time you spend on them replaces the time you would already be spending on those tasks. Most students net positive on hours by Week 2.

How much time do I need to invest?

Plan 2 to 4 hours per week. Most agency owners pace at 20 to 40 minutes per day or three focused sessions per week. Completable in 30 days if you ship the Labs.

Do I need a specific AI tool to take this course?

No. The system is tool-agnostic across both layers. The Prompt Recipe, Quality Gate, Status Cadence, Proposal Engine, Price Sanity Check, and Weekly Owner Summary all work in any of the major 4 AI chatbots: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini. The Module 6 capstone includes one importable automation blueprint for Zapier or Make. We demonstrate workflows on the tool that best illustrates each lesson and show you how to run the same workflow in whichever you already pay for.

What about confidentiality, NDAs, and client data?

Module 1 includes the Owner Safe Use lesson and a customizable Agency AI Policy template. The Quality Gate in Module 2 installs the verification habit at the workflow level. AI drafts, you decide. Every promise, date, number, and scope line goes through a human read before it leaves the agency.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can use Google Docs, a project management tool, and at least one paid AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar), you can do this. Module 6 offers a Make or Zapier path if you want it. It is optional.

How much does the paid course cost?

Founder's Cohort is $797 for the first 15 seats only, with 4 weekly async video critiques and a live Demo Day. After Founder's closes, Launch Promo opens at $1,197 for the first 100 seats or 14 days. Standard runs evergreen at $1,497. Free Module 1 stays free regardless of tier.

What is the Install Guarantee, exactly?

Days 1 to 7, unconditional refund, no questions. Days 8 to 30, conditional on completing Modules 1 to 3 Labs and logging in the Time Saved Tracker. If you did the work and the system did not deliver, send us the Tracker and we refund in full. We document everything.

I am not in the US or Europe. Is this still for me?

Yes. The course is self-paced. Founder's Cohort uses async video critiques, so you submit your Loom on your own time and receive the founder's Loom critique on the standard cadence. The only synchronous moment is Demo Day on Day 30, 12pm ET, which is recorded for anyone who cannot attend live.

What if my pipeline is empty?

Fix the offer first. AI will not save an unwanted service. Come back when clients are coming in and time is the bottleneck. We will be here.
