Human-centered AI workflows
We set up AI workflows for small businesses, nonprofits, and education teams: assistants that know your voice and your rules, scheduled briefs and reminders, marketing and sales drafts, a shared team hub, and hands-on training so your people use it well. AI takes on the repeat work. Your team makes the calls.
Set up in the tools you already use, documented in plain language, and handed over to your team.
What we set up
We suggest starting with two or three workflows, chosen with the people who will use them. Each one has your voice and rules written in, and a clear point where a person reviews the work.
MARKETINGA voice and brand guide your AI assistant follows (often called a skill), so drafts for emails, newsletters, posts, and web pages start out sounding like you.
The work can includeVoice and brand guides, content calendars, draft-and-review workflows, and turning one piece into several.
SALES AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTProspect research, outreach and reply drafts, and call prep, with a person approving anything before it goes out.
The work can includeOutreach and reply playbooks, call prep briefs, CRM updates, and a weekly pipeline review.
PRODUCTIVITY AND PLANNINGScheduled tasks that read your email, calendar, and task board and tell you what needs attention, plus meeting notes turned into to-dos.
The work can includeDaily or weekly briefs, meeting follow-up, recurring reports, and reminders.
TEAM HUBSA shared hub with your offers, brand, processes, and decisions, kept current, so your team and your AI tools work from the same facts.
The work can includeA team reference site or shared folder, a decision log, and how-we-work guides.
TEAM TRAINING AND LEARNINGShort, hands-on sessions where people practice with real tasks, plus simple guidelines for what to use AI for and when to check its work.
The work can includeHands-on sessions, practice examples, usage guidelines, and support for the people who maintain the workflows.
GUARDRAILSEach workflow says what information it can use, what it must never send or share, and which steps need a person, so everyone knows where AI stops.
The work can includeReview steps, privacy and data rules, a short AI use policy, and a plain-language record of what each workflow does.
Human-centered by design
A workflow only helps if people trust it and use it. Every setup follows the same three steps.
01We look at where your team’s time goes, ask what they would gladly hand off and what they want to keep, and pick two or three workflows to test first.
02AI drafts, sorts, and reminds. A person reviews anything that reaches a customer, partner, or funder, and the team decides what AI takes on next.
03Set up in your accounts, documented in plain language, and your team trained to run and change it. Fractional support can keep it current as the tools change.
Why work with Gina
Gina uses these workflows every week across her own small businesses, and she brings more than twenty years of building learning programs to the training side. Your team gets workflows that fit, and practice that helps people use them.
Try this first
You can do this on your own before a call. Bring your list, and we will start there.
List the tasks your team repeats every week. Emails you write again and again, reports you rebuild, notes you turn into to-dos.
Mark the ones that follow the same steps each time. Those are the easiest to hand to AI.
Circle one where a mistake is easy to catch. A draft someone reviews before it goes out is a safe place to start.
Write down what a good result looks like. One example of your best version gives the AI something to match.
Try it with one person for two weeks. Keep what saves time, fix what does not, then add the next one.
If two or more of those sound familiar, sales follow-up is a good first workflow.

We suggest a focused project first: two or three workflows, set up and tested with the people who will use them, plus training. A focused project usually runs four to eight weeks. Fractional support can follow, to add workflows and keep them current as the tools change. The scope note sets the work, the timeline, and the fee before you commit.
Common questions
Short answers about tools, people, and rules. If yours is not here, ask on the call.
No. We set the workflows up in the tools you already use and write the instructions in plain language. Training covers how to run them, how to check the results, and how to change them when your work changes.
We start with what your team already has. Gina’s own workflows run on Claude, connected to email, calendar, documents, and task boards. If your team uses another AI assistant, we look at what it can do on the first call.
We design workflows to take repeat work off people’s plates, so they have more time for customers, partners, and the work that needs a person. Your team decides which tasks AI takes on, and a person reviews anything that matters.
Each workflow has rules written in: what information it may use, what it must never send or share, and which steps need a person to check. We can also write a short AI use policy with your team, so everyone works from the same rules.
Yes. Training is part of every setup: short, hands-on sessions where people practice with their own work, plus simple guidelines they can keep. If your team already has the tools set up, training can be its own project.
