AI is the easy part. Judgement isn't.

Leverage AI for the work only you can do.

The goal: systems that do the work for you. I help you unlock them — with 1:1 coaching, on-demand calls, and a battle-tested Chief of Staff system.

We'll look at one real decision you're sitting on. No deck, no pitch.

What you get

Four things. Built around your week, not a curriculum.

Coaching that sits where the actual work happens — your calendar, your inbox, your team, your decisions. Not a course you fit in on Saturday.

01

One-to-one coaching

Weekly 60-minute working sessions, recorded, with clear next actions. Built around the decisions you are actually making this quarter — not a generic AI curriculum. By the end of every call you have something to ship, not something to read.

02

On-demand support, all week

Stuck mid-week, prepping for a hard meeting, debating whether to send an email? Text or Slack me. Response inside two hours during the working day, with a real call inside the same day if you need one.

03

A curated library of what works

Every pattern that survives real use, written down — prompts, workflows, agents, integrations. The signal, not the LinkedIn noise. New material added weekly; everything you have access to was used in the wild first.

04

Your personal Chief of Staff

The same Chief of Staff system I run daily at Groupon — wired into your calendar, inbox, docs, and team ops. You leave with it running, not slides about it. Detailed below.

What you're actually getting

A personal AI system, wired into your tools.

Not a chatbot. Not a course. Not a tools tour. A system that runs alongside you — that learns who you are, compounds over time, and survives the rollout to the rest of your team.

01

It runs your work daily.

Mail triage. A calendar that defends your focus blocks. Document drafting in your voice. Cross-tool search across Slack, Gmail, Drive, Linear, and your CRM — one query. Meeting prep auto-assembled the night before. Boring on purpose. Invisible by week two.

02

It learns who you are.

Every interaction makes it sharper. Patterns you repeat get encoded as reusable skills — your hiring rubric, your board-update structure, the three questions you ask every Monday. After three months your AI knows your voice and your team better than a new hire would in a year.

Chief of Staff your operating system

03

It runs without you.

The four-hour rituals become workflows you supervise. The recurring decisions become specialist agents — an ops analyst watching dashboards, an inbox triager, a meeting-prep agent, a personal CFO. They run while you sleep; you wake up to the digest.

04

It survives IT — and your team.

OAuth scopes, MFA, data residency, audit logs — done right the first time, in a language IT and legal can say yes to. Plus the rollout plan: what to introduce when, how to handle the skeptic on your staff, what "good" looks like at 30, 60, 90 days.

What it looks like over time

  1. Month 1

    Setup.

    Tools connected, first agent wired in, first repeatable workflow running. The IT conversation done. You can already feel the foundation.

  2. Month 3

    Compounding.

    A hundred small pieces of you in the system. A hundred fewer things to start by hand. The Monday brief writes itself; the inbox triages itself.

  3. Month 6

    Self-sustaining.

    If you renew, it's faster than you on the work you've stopped thinking about. New skills compound on top. Your team starts using pieces of it.

From basic AI chat to autonomous workflows.

Why this coach, why now

I built this for myself first.

I'm not a consultant. I'm an operator. I run GTM Strategy & Operations at Groupon — Chicago today, Prague before that — and I built the Chief of Staff system because I needed it to survive my own quarter. Four promotions in two years, an H-1B sponsorship, a multi-region transformation program where every meaningful decision touches AI before it leaves my desk.

The library isn't theory — it's what survived production. Deal alerting across 330,000 live deals with $100K in quarterly direct attribution. Market analysis cut from 40 to 8 hours per category. Automated reporting that saves 20 managers 15 min/day, built on Claude Code and GitHub. A capitalization process tracking $100M+ in annual engineering labor that passed a Deloitte audit with zero major findings and 99.92% reconciliation accuracy. Every pattern you'll use was used in the wild first.

And not just by me. Ten Groupon colleagues now run pieces of their daily work through it. I run internal AI webinars across teams. The patterns survive a hard rollout — which is the bar that actually matters, because most AI coaching collapses the moment the working hour ends.

What I sell isn't tools. It's a system that still holds its shape three months after the last call. You're getting the operator's version, not the consultant's deck.


How we start, week by week

Setup, then one new thing every week.

Week one is setup. We get the foundation in place: tools connected, your first agent wired to your calendar and inbox, the first repeatable workflow encoded, the IT conversation handled. Boring on purpose. Fast. Done.

Then every week we add one thing together. One automation. One skill. One workflow. One agent. Small enough to ship inside the working hour. Big enough that by the next session, you've used it three times.

By month three, your AI has a hundred small pieces of you in it — and you have a hundred fewer things to start by hand. By month six, if you renew, it's faster than you on the work you've stopped having to think about.

A pause before the rest

Still curious? Let's spend thirty minutes on one decision.

No deck. No pitch. We pick something real you're sitting on, work it down to a defensible call by the end of the hour, and figure out fit while we're at it.

What changes

Ninety days in.

Outcomes shaped by where you start, but the precedents are real — pulled from the system running at Groupon today.

Hours reclaimed per week, over 90 days

Time you stop spending on rituals you used to run by hand
12h 8h 4h 0h Wk 1 Wk 4 Wk 6 Wk 9 Wk 12 ~10 hrs/wk

Illustrative shape; actual reclaim curve depends on which rituals we automate first. Setup happens in weeks 1–2; compounding accelerates from week 4 once the system has enough context.

5–10 hrs / week reclaimed

Stop starting weekly rituals by hand.

The metrics review, the inbox triage, the meeting prep, the status update — whatever you do every week becomes a workflow you supervise. You're editing, not writing from scratch.

Precedent: the market-analysis system I built cut category analysis from 40 hours to 8. The Groupon reporting system saves 20 managers 15 min/day.

Bottleneck → leverage

Drafts ready before you open them.

Decision memos, board updates, performance reviews, hard emails — produced in your voice while you sleep. By month three the system delivers most artifacts to your inbox already 80% there.

Precedent: reporting cycles cut from 2 hours to 15 minutes using AI tools (Groupon Transformation, 2024).

Search box → teammate

Specialists holding context for weeks.

Not chat windows. Agents — an inbox triager, a meeting-prep agent, a pricing analyst, a personal CFO — that know your team, your priorities, your style, and your last twelve weeks.

Precedent: deal alerting across 330,000 live deals, 10 alert types, $100K quarterly direct attribution.

One hard call / week

The decision you've been putting off.

The shape of every Monday session: pick the decision you've been deferring, work it down to a defensible call by the end of the hour. By month three you have a track record of moving on the hard ones — not the easy ones.

Precedent: $10M+ in expansion opportunities identified via an analysis framework built end-to-end with AI (Groupon GTM, 2025).

Common questions

A few things worth asking up front.

How is this different from a typical AI tools course?

A course gives you skills you might use. Coaching gives you a system that's already running, configured around the decisions you're actually making this quarter. Courses scale; this doesn't, and that's the point.

What if I'm not technical?

Most leaders I work with aren't. The Chief of Staff setup is on me — you don't write code, you make decisions. You'll come out understanding the architecture well enough to maintain and extend it, but I do the building.

How much of my time will this take, weekly?

One 60-minute working session plus whatever you choose to send me during the week. By design, the system reclaims more time than the coaching takes by month two. If it doesn't, we change something.

What tools do I need? Will my company allow this?

We work with whatever you have — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, Linear, your CRM. The security and access conversation with IT is part of the setup. Most teams approve faster than expected once they see the architecture, the OAuth scopes, and the audit trail.

Is this a fit if I'm not at a Groupon-scale company?

The patterns transfer. They were built for me — one operator — before being deployed across teams. The scale on the page is to show that they survive scale; the practice itself is one person at a time. If you make decisions in a job with real stakes, it works.

From people who've worked through it

What the system feels like to live with.

Lukas helped me build the exact workflow I'd been trying to design for months. We went from "I should probably automate this" to a working system in two sessions — and the system still runs eight months later, with me adding to it, not babysitting it.
P Preethi Senior Product Manager
Before working with Lukas I used AI like a slightly smarter Google. Now it drafts my weekly review, screens my inbox, and runs the prep for every cross-functional meeting I'm in. He doesn't sell tools. He builds you a working system.
L Laura Marketing Lead
Setup was the part I'd been dreading — connecting calendar, inbox, and our tools to AI without breaking IT's afternoon. Lukas just handled it. By the end of week one I had a Chief of Staff running on my OAuth, my permissions, my audit trail. The conversation with IT was already won before we had it.
J Jiří Executive
I'm not a fast adopter. Lukas's coaching is the first AI thing I've done where the working session itself delivers something I take to a real meeting the next day. Three months in, I run my function on a Chief of Staff agent I trust.
