For the person at a small company who decided to pay for AI and wants it to actually stick.
You probably landed here from one of my plan comparisons. Picking the plan is the easy part. The hard part is the boring setup nobody does, and the first three chores you hand over so the seats stop being an expense. ChatGPT teams too: the setup is the same, only the plan changes.
I run my own company on this stack every week: 8 articles, 14 shorts, and a long-form video, with the post-production automated. Before that I spent years inside a bank's operations team doing the manual work by hand. I know what a Monday looks like.

Three ways in
$1,500
Which plan each seat actually needs, the boring setup that stops Claude forgetting your work, and the three chores your team should hand to it first. Live, on your screens, recorded so the people who missed it can catch up.
from $2,500
One weekly manual loop, built with you: requests come in, get sorted and entered where they belong, and a draft report lands for review. Running inside two weeks, with the handoff doc so nobody depends on me.
from $750/mo
Tools change their APIs, limits move, a step breaks at 2am. I watch it, fix it, and ship one improvement a month. Cancel any month.
Most teams start with the workshop. If the setup makes sense after it, the workshop fee comes off the setup price.

Who this is for
Straight answers
No. Everything runs inside your own accounts: your Claude or ChatGPT seats, your n8n or Make instance, your Google or Microsoft workspace. I build in there with you and leave with nothing but the handoff doc. I never hold your credentials.
Yes. The setup is the same shape on both. I pay for both stacks and I'll tell you honestly which one fits the chore, which is sometimes the one you're not on.
No. The whole point is that the people who do the work every Monday can run and change it. If a piece needs real code, I say so before we start, not after.
Within a day you get two questions from me by email. Then a 20-minute call to scope it. Then a written plan with a fixed price. You decide. No deck, no drip campaign.
