What this session is
A tour of what’s possible, from real life
Renee shows how she uses AI across her own week: school emails that land on the family calendar with reminders, a parent’s prescriptions and appointments, the online returns it chases, the birthday party it plans. Real examples, so you can picture your own.
Connectors, explained
How AI links to your email, calendar and files, so it works in the background instead of you copying and pasting. What is worth connecting, and what to leave off.
Your first assistant, set up in the room
You set up one assistant on your own phone, with help right there, so you leave with something working.
A primer you can come back to
When something new comes up, like a diagnosis, a move or a new school year, you will know what is possible and how to start.
An honest account of the limits
What it gets wrong, what it should never see, and where it will waste your time.
What you will leave with
- Your first AI assistant, set up and ready to use tomorrow
- A clear picture of what’s possible, from real examples in a real household
- Which connectors are worth turning on, and how to do it safely
- What it costs to actually use, and which plan is worth paying for
- What it should never see, and why that matters more than people assume
How it fits with the series
- One assistant, built well. You set up one and learn to use it with confidence. That alone takes something off your plate this week.
- The series goes further. Get Your Week Back applies the same skills to several recurring jobs over four weeks, with help in the room.
- Your $39 counts toward it. Join within 72 hours of class and $39 comes off the $497 price. No pressure to decide that night.
School emails arrive. Your calendar takes care of itself.
One of the setups Renee runs in her own house, and walks through in the intro class. Once your email and family calendar are connected, the assistant works in the background. No copying and pasting.

What’s connectedYour email and family calendar, through the connectors built into apps like ChatGPT and Claude. You choose what to connect.
What runs on its ownIt spots school emails and sign-ups as they arrive, adds each one with the time, place, a reminder and what to bring, and builds your look-ahead.
What still needs youA look on Sunday night. Nothing gets signed, paid or sent without you.
Example with made-up details. What you can connect depends on the AI app and plan you use.

Questions
Is this for beginners, or for people already using AI?
Both. Whether you’re just starting with AI or already using it and know you could get more from it, we tailor the 90 minutes to the people in the room and answer your questions as we go.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just your phone and your questions.
I am not a parent. Can I come?
Yes. The material is administrative load, which lands on plenty of people who are not raising children.
Can I bring my mother, my sister, my friend?
Yes, and please do. They each get their own introduction.
Can I come more than once?
The intro class is one per person, because once you have built your first assistant you have the picture. The four-week series is where we go further.
What if I can't make it?
Move to the next date at no charge up to 48 hours before. They run monthly.
Why does it cost $39?
It keeps the room full of people who really want to be there, and it covers the venue. If you join the series afterward, it comes straight off your price.
Still deciding? Try one of these tonight
Open any free AI app on your phone and type one in. It takes two minutes.

Here are this week's school emails. Pull out every date, deadline and thing I have to sign, and lay it out day by day.
Paste them in or snap photos for now. In class we show you how to connect your email so you can skip this step.
-
Plan five weeknight dinners. Two need to be done in 20 minutes. One person will not eat tomatoes. Then give me the grocery list sorted by aisle.
-
Treat me like a sixth grader. I am overwhelmed.
Add that to any question you ask. It changes a wall of jargon into steps you can follow.
If those work for you, the class is the version where we do that with everything.
