AI Operator Day

Live in-person seminar | Houston, TX

You don't need to learn AI. You need it doing the work.

One day. You and the person who runs your office bring laptops and one job you are sick of doing. By 4pm an AI agent is doing it, inside rules you wrote.

Counted from his own machines and from GitHub on 2026-09-13. How each was counted is on the numbers page.

You tried ChatGPT. It wrote an email. Nothing changed.

You open it most days. It does a paragraph, a summary, a draft. Then you close it and go back to running the place by hand.

The work that eats your week is still yours. The follow-ups. The reports. The chasing. Nobody else knows how it runs, so nobody else can do it.

That is not an AI problem. It is an operating problem. In one day you fix it for one job, on your own laptop, with your own files.

What you walk out with at 4pm

Six things you did not have at 9am.

  1. 01

    One job running on its own

    Something you did by hand this morning, running without you by the afternoon, and telling you what it did.

  2. 02

    The one page that runs it

    How your company works and what the agent may never do without you. In your words.

  3. 03

    Your red lines

    Money, other people's records, anything permanent. It stops and asks you, every time.

  4. 04

    A memory that lasts

    Your vendors, your customers, your decisions. Written down once, so you stop explaining them.

  5. 05

    The thirty-second check

    Done is proof, not a claim. You learn to tell the difference before you trust anything.

  6. 06

    A person who keeps it running

    Your second seat leaves holding the keys, with a checklist for the next thirty days.

Thursday, November 12, 2026

The day, hour by hour.

No talks about AI. In every block you and your operator do the thing on your own laptop while Michael walks the room.

The kind of job people bring

  • Chasing the lien waivers and insurance certificates that hold up a payment.
  • Turning a week of delivery notes into invoices.
  • Answering the twenty emails a week that all ask the same question.
  • Getting a quote out the day it is asked for, instead of on Friday.
  1. 9:00

    Your laptop already works

    Set up with you on a call before the day. You open it and it is ready.

  2. 10:00

    It does your job in front of you

    You point it at one folder of your own files and hand it the job. You watch it work.

  3. 11:05

    You write the page that tells it how you work

    What it may do on its own. What it has to ask you first. Short, in your words.

  4. 12:00

    You learn to check its work

    Three questions, every time. You never take "done" on its word again.

  5. 12:40

    Lunch in the room

    Everyone says the job they came to get rid of.

  6. 1:30

    You give it a memory and some rules

    What went wrong once does not go wrong again.

  7. 2:35

    One job runs without you

    Then your operator runs it, with you watching, so it does not leave with you.

  8. 3:20

    What you take home

    Your files, the thirty-day checklist, and Michael's email address.

  9. 4:00

    One job off your desk for good.

This room is for owners.

It is for you if

  • You run the place. Owner, founder, president, principal.
  • Something in your business is already on a computer. A shared drive, spreadsheets, a customer list, accounting software, email. One is enough.
  • You can name the person who keeps things running when you are out, and they can come with you.
  • You can decide to spend on this without asking a committee.

It is not for you if

  • You want to build agents for a living. There are better rooms for that.
  • You want it done for you. You do it, with Michael next to you, so you can do it again.
  • Everything in your business is on paper and there is nobody to bring for the second seat.

Two seats, on purpose. You, and the person who keeps things running when you are out. They are the one who keeps it running afterwards.

Portrait of Michael Griswold

Your host

Michael Griswold

Michael ran crews before he ran software: demolition, construction, manufacturing, a dairy farm, then private credit and family-office work. Then he built a software company, and he runs it on AI agents. The numbers above are what that looks like.

He is not a programmer by trade and he does not write the code. He directs the agents that do, the way you direct people. That is the job he teaches, because it is the job you already do.

He hosts the Accredited Capitalists room in Houston every month, for investors and family offices. This seminar is that kind of room, with owners in it.

Nothing is charged when you apply.

Companies in the room

When the tenth company confirms, applications close. The next room does not have a date.

The 4pm guarantee

By 4pm one job in your company runs on its own. If it does not, you get every dollar back before you leave the room.

Running on its own means it starts without you, it does the work, and it tells you what it did. No forms.

Three steps to a seat.

  1. 1

    Apply. Two minutes.

    Your name, your company, what you run, and who you would bring. Nothing is paid.

  2. 2

    AI reads it in a minute. Then Michael does.

    An AI agent drafts his reply. He reads it and sends it: a yes, a no with the reason, or one question. That agent is the kind of thing you come here to build.

  3. 3

    A fifteen-minute call. Then you are in.

    You pick the job you bring and set up both laptops. You get the date in writing. Then you pay.

FAQs

Something else? Email contact@michaelgriswold.com. Michael answers it himself.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Nobody writes code. If you can write an email and open a folder, you can do everything in this room.

What is an AI agent, in plain words?

A program you give a job to. Not a chat box you type questions into. You point it at a folder of your real files, you tell it how you like things done, and it does the job and reports back. It works while you do something else.

Is this the same as ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT answers a question and forgets you. An agent does a job, remembers how you like it done, and does it again next week without being asked.

When and where is it?

Thursday, November 12, 2026, 9am to 4pm, in a private boardroom in Houston's Galleria area. The exact room comes with your confirmation. Lunch is in the room.

What does it cost?

$5,000 for the company, both seats, lunch included. You pay after the call, once you have the date in writing. Nothing is charged when you apply. The whole $5,000 counts toward Michael's $9,500 two-day read if you ever book it.

Does my company information go into an AI, and who can see it?

Your files stay on your laptop. Nothing of yours is sent to Michael, and nothing goes on a screen in the room unless you choose to show it. When the agent works, it sends the part of a file it needs to the company that makes it, the same way ChatGPT does when you paste something in. You pick the folder, so you pick what it can see.

What does it cost to keep running after the day?

The agent runs on your own laptop on a paid plan in your own name, with the company that makes it. We set it up together on the call. You own the account and Michael makes nothing from it. Prices move, so we check what it costs that week.

What do I bring?

A laptop you use for work, and one job you are tired of doing yourself. Before the day we set the laptop up with you on a fifteen-minute call.

Who should I bring?

The person who keeps things running when you are out. An office manager, a controller, an operations manager, a dispatcher, a general manager. If you have two, bring the one at a computer all day.

Does this mean I let someone go?

No. The job you hand over is one nobody wanted. The person you bring leaves with more authority than they came with.

Is it recorded, or can I join online?

The day is recorded, so you can rewatch a part you missed. You also leave with the files on your own laptop, which is the part that matters. The room itself is in person.

What if I cannot make it, or it does not work for my business?

Tell Michael seven days or more before and you choose your money back or a seat in the next room. And if you did the work and one job is not running on its own by 4pm, you get every dollar back before you leave.
