Free: The Her AI Edit Playbook — 10 AI workflows every female entrepreneur should steal.

Run It Smarter. Scale It Faster.

Custom AI built around how YOU actually work — not generic prompts.

"Custom AI built around how I actually work — not generic prompts."

I help female entrepreneurs running service-based businesses install custom AI — so the work that doesn't need you runs without you, and you focus on what only you can do.

Problem block

You didn't build a business to become its bottleneck. But here you are — answering the same emails, prepping the same meetings, writing the same proposals from scratch, chasing the follow-ups nobody else remembers. You've tried ChatGPT. It doesn't sound like you, doesn't know your business, and creates more cleanup than it saves. The problem was never you. It's that no one built AI around how you actually work.

What I help you fix

What I help you fix with AI (without the hype)

If you're a female entrepreneur stuck in the bottleneck, the answer isn't more hours — it's AI built around the work that doesn't need you.

  • Inbox triage that eats your morning

  • Pre-meeting prep that consumes your day

  • Proposals that take 90 minutes when they should take 20

  • Client recap and follow-up that nobody owns

  • Decision-making bottlenecks that pull you into every meeting

  • Content repurposing that never gets done

  • Onboarding documentation that lives in your head

  • Recurring client communications that sound robotic when delegated

Meet Cheryl

I'm Cheryl James — Google AI Certified Fractional COO with 27 years of Fortune 100 operations leadership. I build AI systems configured around how you actually run your business, so you stop being the bottleneck and start operating like the CEO you already are. If you've tried ChatGPT and it doesn't sound like you, your business, or your standards — that's the problem custom AI solves.

How it works

  1. Book your AI Brief: Pick a time that works. You'll answer 5 questions about how you actually run your business so we focus on the right workflows.

  2. Build live, together: In our 90-minute session, I'll build three custom AI workflows on your screen, in your tools, configured to your business.

  3. Walk away operational: You leave with three AI workflows running, a 30/60/90-day roadmap, and a 14-day check-in scheduled to refine what we built.

AI built around your business — not bolted onto it

Generic AI gives you generic output. Custom AI is configured to your voice, your clients, and your standards — so it produces work you'd actually send, not drafts you have to rewrite. You walk away with AI handling the work that doesn't need you: the triage, the prep, the recaps, the follow-up, the first drafts. Your hours go back to the work only you can do.

  • AI that sounds like you — trained on your voice, not pulled from a template

  • Installed in the tools you already use — nothing new to learn, nothing new to buy

  • You leave with running AI, not a strategy deck
