Build your own AI Chief of Staff.
Eight weeks, in a room of non-competing peers, building an agent that knows you, chases you, reminds you and does the work for you, on request and on its own. Then the toolkit to build the next system, for any other part of your work or life.
A room of senior leaders, vetted to be non-competing.
Different industries, no competitors.
No two cohort members from competing companies. Vetted at application.
Director+ / function owner.
Real decision authority. AI is on your plate, not your team's.
90 minutes a week. 8 weeks.
One live session a week. How much you use the tools between sessions is up to you. No certificate.
Build the Chief of Staff first. Then learn to build the rest.
-
Weeks 1–3 · FOUNDATION
A Chief of Staff that knows you.
After a 1:1 interview with a founder, your inbox, calendar, to-do list and the things you carry in your head are connected to a Claude-based agent that knows how you work and starts taking things off your plate.
-
Weeks 4–6 · POWER
It chases, reminds and acts.
Skills, connectors and scheduled tasks so it works on its own: chasing you, reminding you and getting things done when you ask and when you don't, including while you sleep.
-
Weeks 7–8 · SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS
Use the method on everything else.
You learn how the system builds the system, then point it at other parts of your work or life. We close with a small-group working session, in London for those who can make it.
Four things you leave with.
A working agentic Chief of Staff
Built by you, on Claude, around your own inbox, calendar and commitments. It knows you, chases you and does work for you.
The toolkit to build more
The method behind it, so you can build sophisticated AI systems for any other part of your professional or personal life.
A personal AI operating model
Your systems working together as one, tied to what you are actually trying to achieve.
A peer network
Fellow senior leaders, vetted non-competing, who you can text.
For leaders who'll lead the AI conversation. Not be led by it.
Right fit if you…
- Run a function or business unit and own outcomes.
- Want to lead the AI conversation, not be led by it.
- Can commit to a 90-minute live session each week for 8 weeks.
- Are comfortable being challenged by peers.
Probably not for you if you…
- Need a certificate more than capability.
- Can't make consistent time week-to-week.
Within three weeks of working with the Accelerator X team, I began to feel genuinely excited about my business again for the first time in years.
The questions cohort applicants ask.
-
How much time does this take?
One 90-minute live session a week for eight weeks. Beyond that it's your call: how much you use the tools between sessions is up to you, and the more you put in, the more your Chief of Staff does for you. If your diary genuinely won't flex for a weekly session, apply for the next cohort when the timing is better.
-
Will my company expense this?
Most cohort members expense this or put it through professional development budgets. At £3,000, it sits under many L&D thresholds without board approval. We can provide an invoice addressed to your company and a one-page brief on what the programme covers.
-
What if a competitor of mine applies?
We vet every application with this in mind. If we identify a conflict at application stage, we'll flag it with both parties before confirming either place. Once a cohort is confirmed, every member has signed off on the non-competing composition.
-
Can my whole team join?
No: this is a director/function-owner programme designed for the person who owns the AI agenda, not their team. If you want to bring AI capability across a whole team or organisation, our Company Enablement track is designed for that.
-
What if I miss a session?
We ask you not to. Eight weekly sessions: that's the commitment. If something unavoidable comes up, we'll share the session recording. But the peer value is live, and you can't replay a room.
-
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes: no value, no payment. You get two full sessions and the resources are yours to keep; if it's not for you, tell us before the third and you owe nothing. There's also a pre-cohort interview (a 1:1 with a founder) before we confirm your place, so we only proceed if it's a genuine fit on both sides.
-
Do I need to be technical?
No. There's no code in this room. You build with Claude, in plain language, around your own work. We teach the system architecture underneath so you understand what you've built and can extend it yourself.
-
Do I have to come to London?
No. The weekly sessions run live on video calls. We're adding an in-person element in London for people who can make it, including a small-group working session at the end. It's an extra, not a requirement.
-
Do I need the latest agent tools I keep hearing about?
No. Many of those tools are a distraction if you don't understand the architecture underneath. Once you know how to use Claude properly, you can build a more capable personal agent, and a whole agentic system, that you control and can extend to any part of your work or life.
Next cohort starts early November 2026. Apply to secure your place.
If you've read this far, you should apply. Worst case, we say no, and you've spent a minute.
