Second Nature · AI set up around your business

Make AI second nature.

I learn how your business actually runs, then set up an AI system on your own computer that already knows it. You leave knowing how to use it.

$3,500 · working sessions with me · yours to keep

Peter Walters is the AI Whisperer. I enjoy our sessions immensely and leave them feeling more superhuman. In my capacity to leverage the modern tools, I am happy he is helping me reskill in my mid-40s.

You can tell this matters.
There’s never a good week.

You’re sharp, you’re busy, and everyone keeps talking about agents while you’re still copy-pasting into a chat window.

  • Every AI chat starts from scratch, so you keep re-explaining your business.
  • Your files live in five places, plus your head.
  • The thing you keep meaning to automate is still happening by hand.

You don’t need to become a tech person. You just need to stop introducing yourself to a chatbot every morning.

⇔

Before: a busy Monday morning on a computer desktop at Mon 8:47. A browser with nine tabs open and a mail inbox with 143 unread, including a note from your business partner asking about Q3 numbers before Thursday, and a message from your assistant that Monday 2:00 has three things on it. Behind it a calendar shows three meetings overlapping at 2:00. A sticky note reads find the latest deck. A notification reads Did you get my email? After: the same desktop, calm. One window with two tabs holds a document, Morning brief · 6:30. Three things need you today. Reply to your business partner about Q3. Draft ready. Your 2:00 can move to Thursday to protect your focus time. Want me to? Latest board deck: Q3 v7, in Decks. Inbox sorted. Four drafts waiting for you.

Example. Drag to see Monday with Second Nature.

Where do you begin?

Seven yes-or-no questions about what you actually do with AI, not what you think you should be doing. Two minutes. You get your level, what the next step looks like, and one thing to try this week.

No email needed. Your answers stay in your browser.

One prompt, a session or two.
Then it’s yours.

You start with five minutes for the prompt, then our working sessions. I do the rest.

  1. 01

    Run one prompt.

    Before we meet, paste a prompt into the AI you already use. It reads back how you work and where AI is letting you down. Send me what it says.

  2. 02

    Working sessions with me.

    Usually one or two, depending on how involved your setup gets. We meet in person or on a call. I set up the tools on your computer and ask a lot of questions about your business, starting with what’s slow and what you’d hand off tomorrow. With your OK, I record it so nothing gets lost.

  3. 03

    Your system, a day or two later.

    I go away and build it from what you told me: 10 to 12 agents, each one tested on your real stuff. You start with three. You also get one page that shows what everything does and exactly how to ask for it, and a short video walking you through it. For the first week, you can text me anything.

  4. 04

    Two check-ins.

    Two weeks later we spend an hour on what’s working and turn on the next few agents. At three months, about how long a new habit takes to settle, we do a short one and switch on the rest. You retake the quiz at both, so we can see how far you’ve come.

Works in any AI chat. Nothing here is sent anywhere.

I'm meeting with someone who's going to set up a personal AI system around my work, my files, and how I run my business. Write a complete briefing they can read before we meet.

How to work:
- Pull from everything you can reach on me: memory, past chats (search them if you can), projects, custom instructions, uploaded files, and connected tools. Use real examples from our conversations.
- Tag every claim: [Known] if I told you or you saw it, [Inferred] if you're reading between the lines, [Unknown] if you can't tell. Never guess to fill a gap. Turn the gap into a question for me.
- Be honest, not flattering. If I'm doing something the slow way, say so.
- Leave out passwords, account or card numbers, health details, and anything private about other people. Describe people by role (my assistant, my business partner), not by name.

First, a quick check. Tell me which sources you could actually see (memory, past chats, files, connected tools) and roughly how much you know about me. If it's thin, say so plainly. Then skip the sections you can't fill honestly and interview me instead: ask me the most useful questions one at a time, at most ten, and write the briefing from my answers.

Start the briefing with a five-line summary: who I am, what I want, where I am with AI, the biggest time sink, and the one thing to fix first.

Then cover:

1. Who I am and what I do. My role, my businesses or clients, how I make money, and what a normal week actually looks like.

2. My priorities right now. What I'm trying to grow or fix, and what a good next three months would look like.

3. The people around my work. Who helps me (assistant, team, partners, outside help), what they handle, and who would keep an AI system running day to day besides me. Roles only.

4. My tools. Which AI I use (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, others) and which plan. Any projects, custom instructions, memory, connectors, skills, agents, or automations I've set up. Then the rest of my stack: email, calendar, documents and file storage, notes, CRM or client tracking, messaging, and my computer (Mac or PC).

5. Where I am with AI. Place me on this ladder at the highest rung I clearly do today, not something I tried once. Give two or three real examples as evidence, with how confident you are in each.
   0. Not yet: I rarely use AI on purpose
   1. Curious: I ask it questions, like a smarter search box
   2. Conversational: I use it to think things through and push back on weak answers
   3. Informed: I give it my own material first (past emails, notes, files) so the work sounds like me
   4. Making: I use it to make finished things I actually send or share
   5. Delegating: it takes real actions in my tools, with me approving
   6. Systemized: at least one AI workflow runs on its own schedule
   7. Second nature: my AI tools share memory of my work, and I mostly review

6. How I actually use AI. The tasks I bring to it most, what works well, where it keeps falling short, and what I've given up on.

7. What I keep asking for. Requests, tasks, or questions I come back to again and again. Quote my own words where you can. These are the best candidates to automate.

8. Recurring workflows. Anything I do weekly or repeatedly. For each: what starts it, the steps, which tools it touches, roughly how often, and which parts are manual.

9. Where my files live and how they're organized. My computer, Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, email, wherever. Naming habits, and what's a mess.

10. Pain points. Where I lose time, repeat myself, re-explain context, or let things drop.

11. Goals. What I've said I want, things I've tried and abandoned, and ideas I keep circling back to.

12. Boundaries. What I'd never want AI to do without asking me first, and anything I'm uneasy about it touching (certain accounts, people, money, or topics).

13. Blind spots. What am I not asking AI to help with that I probably should be?

14. Your candid assessment. The five tasks or workflows that would save me the most time if they ran on their own or with one click from me. For each: what would start it, what it would do, what should wait for my yes, and a rough guess at hours saved per week (marked as a guess). Then the three changes that would make the biggest difference, and the one thing you'd fix first.

End with two lists:
- Open questions for me, the ones only I can answer.
- Things to check before I send this: anything in the briefing that might be too personal or sensitive to share.

Plain language, no filler, under about 2,000 words. Use the numbered headings above so it's easy to scan. If you run out of room, stop at the end of a section and tell me to say "continue". Format it so I can copy the whole thing and send it to the person I'm meeting.

Throw me what it says. I’ll bring it back with a few ideas.

Throw it to me

Your words stay on this page until you choose to send them.

Built from what you told me.

You walk away with 10 to 12 agents shaped around your actual work. You start with three, and we turn on the rest together over the first three months, so every one of them actually gets used.

Well trained.

I run my own work on a system I’ve built and use every day. For you, I start from that and take away everything you don’t need. What’s left fits you and nothing else. Then we start with three, because a dozen new things on day one is how good tools end up unused.

The AI gets trained on your business. You get trained on the AI. Both matter.

Under the hood.

You don’t need any of these words. I do. Open one if you’re curious, or none. Your system works the same either way.

InstructionsA file that tells your AI who you are, how you work, and your rules, read at the start of every conversation

In your setup “Never book anything before nine. Keep emails under five sentences.”

MemoryWhat your AI keeps between conversations, so you stop explaining yourself from scratch

In your setup It already knows your clients, your projects, and who your assistant is

AgentsAn AI with one job, the tools to do it, and rules about when to stop and ask you

In your setup Your morning brief, your inbox drafts, your meeting prep

SkillsA written recipe your AI follows for anything you do the same way every time

In your setup How you write proposals, how you like a board update laid out

ConnectorsSecure links to your email, calendar, and files, built on MCP, the open standard most AI tools now share. Each gets only the access it needs

In your setup Your calendar can be read. Your email can be drafted in. Neither can send

PluginsA bundle of agents, skills, and connectors that install together

In your setup Everything for your board updates, in one package you can switch on or off

Schedules and loopsAgents that run on a timer or when something happens, without you starting them

In your setup The brief at 6:30 every weekday, new leads sorted the moment they arrive

ApprovalsThe checkpoint where an agent stops until you say go

In your setup Every send, post, payment, or delete

The app it lives inWhere your AI works on your Mac: Claude (Code or Cowork) or OpenAI’s Codex, matched to the AI you already use

In your setup If you live in ChatGPT, you stay there. Same for Claude

Built on open formats, so your system isn’t locked to one company. Every agent and skill can be custom-built for the way you work.

Is this for you?

For you if

  • You run something real and you’re the bottleneck.
  • You’ve been meaning to get serious about AI for months.
  • You’d rather have it done well with someone than half-done alone.
  • You took the quiz and landed somewhere between Level 1 and Level 4.

Not the right fit if

  • You’d rather learn it yourself. Start with the free prompt.
  • You’re already at Level 5 or above. You don’t need a setup. You might want a builder in your corner: see Keep building.
  • You need enterprise IT, like compliance reviews and rollouts across a big team.
  • You can’t give it a session or two of focus.

Peter Walters, laughing while seated in front of a wooden wall

A teacher’s patience.
A builder’s curiosity.

I’ve spent fifteen years helping people try something unfamiliar. These days that’s as likely to be a first real conversation with AI as a first yoga class.

Nobody has this figured out, me included. I just use it every day, I build real things with it, and I’m good at sitting with someone while it stops feeling foreign.

More about me

A few fair questions

Before
we begin.

Something else on your mind?
Just ask.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. Knowing your business and what drives you nuts is enough.

Mac or PC?

Mac, for now.

Which AI does it use?

Whichever one you already use. If you live in ChatGPT, I build on that. If you use Claude, or nothing yet, I’ll usually set you up with Claude.

Do I need GitHub, or anything technical installed?

No. I handle all of that. You get a folder that works.

What happens to what I share?

It’s used to build your system and nothing else. Recordings and notes are deleted or handed to you when we’re done, your choice.

How long does it take?

Usually one or two sessions, depending on the person and how involved their setup is. We find out together on the first call.

How many agents do I get?

Usually 10 to 12, all built and tested before you get them. You start with three and we turn on the rest at the check-ins, once the first ones are part of your day.

Can my assistant or EA join?

Yes, and it often helps. They’re usually the ones who keep it running. Add them as a second seat.

What if it doesn’t help?

Then I keep going. See the guarantee above.

Is this a course?

No. It’s working sessions and a system built for you.

Let’s make it second nature.

Thirty minutes on a call tells us both whether this fits.
