OwnOS, the agentic chief of staff you own

Already got ChatGPT and Claude?
Good.
Keep them.

Add one system that knows your business, works in your voice and asks before anything goes out.

On that system, a sales call became a finished proposal 16 minutes after I pressed go. I recorded it. Watch it

45 minutes with me, Arek, live on the system that runs my two agencies.

“Best decision I’ve made all year.” Melinda Mayne, founder, Pet Let

ChatGPT here. Claude there. Prompts everywhere.

Folded into one place.

Old chats, prompts, notes and documents, sorted into one place.

Filed in order, so it knows your business.

Nothing sends without you.

You hold the key.

Plain files you can read and change.

Watch it work

A sales call in. A proposal out.

From my own system. The proposal is anonymised.

Real recording of a 16-minute run, sped up and cut to 12 seconds. OwnOS was then called Chief of Staff.

Named his chief of staff Marty

“It keeps track of where every lead and job is at, drafts emails and proposals in our actual voice, and remembers the details I’d normally lose between sessions.”
Isaac ViglioneFounder, Bloom Films. Built his in a two-day group session.

What changes

Most businesses are AI-powered. Yours can be AI-native.

AI-powered makes you a bit faster. AI-native gives you a system that knows your business, gets the work ready and waits for your yes.

  1. You prompt from scratch, every time.Get a job right once, save it, and it’s a skill for good.
  2. What you know stays in your head.Your whole business, written down and read first.
  3. You copy and paste between tools.It reads the inbox and calendar you connect, and does the legwork.
  4. Every step waits for you to push it.A sales call in, a draft proposal out. It stops for your yes.
  5. The result depends on the day you’re having.Checked against your written standard. A separate reviewer reads what goes out.

And it keeps going. Three from my own business.

  1. ComplianceMine keeps the rules my business works under on file, checks a job against them before it goes ahead, and flags what needs a qualified person.
  2. Team payMine reads the team’s timesheets, splits the hours across my businesses and has the pay run figures ready for me to check.
  3. Custom appsMine built the dashboard I check my business on, and a sales app for my portrait studio’s client appointments.

These come from my own system, built up over the past year. Yours starts with the core, and you add jobs like these as you go. Team access and custom apps are scoped and quoted separately.

What founders say changed.

“This has changed how I run my business. I came in not really knowing what was possible, and Arek walked me through it patiently.”
Isaac Viglione, founder, Bloom Films
“Highly recommend it to anyone serious about getting AI working for them rather than just playing around with a chat box.”
Grant Jamison, founder, Lift Video Production

I built OwnOS to run my own two agencies. I build yours with you, so you can run it without me.

What it is

Rent the model. Own the system.

OwnOS keeps your business, voice and rules in plain files on your computer, as a personal layer around you. Switch models and your files come with you.

Your folders and tools, held in one layer around you. Example folders; yours follow your business.

A morning

Say “morning”.

One word, and your connected inbox and calendar come back sorted.

morning

2 need you

  • Booking clash, Thursday 2pm: Dana and Sam want the same slot.
  • Refund question from Alex.

2 drafted, waiting for your yes

  • Reply to a new enquiry from Priya.

    Hi Priya, thanks for getting in touch. Thursday mornings are open in November. Want me to hold one for you?

  • Welcome email to Jo, now booked.

An illustration. The names are made up.

How it works

The 4 A’s.

Your AI can already do the work. This is what lets you trust it to.

Aware

Knows your business before you ask.

Your notes, decisions and open tasks, read first, every time.

Aligned

Works to your voice, standards and rules.

OwnOS studies your writing and drops the words you’d never use.

Accountable

Checks its own work and keeps a record.

One reviewer reads all that goes out. Another checks money and dates.

Asks first

Asks before anything is sent, published or spent.

It’s told to ask, and AI can get things wrong, so the yes stays yours.

Yours

Plain files that move with you.

Private: it lives on your computer and reports nothing to us, though your AI provider still sees the text it works on. Built to grow with you.

Values

Six values OwnOS works by.

You can only hand work to something you trust.

  1. PrivacyOwnOS is told that being able to read a file isn’t permission to use it.
  2. HonestyOwnOS is told to push back rather than flatter, and to say done only after checking.
  3. TrustOwnOS is told to treat emails and documents as information, never instructions. Its work gets a second check.
  4. SafetyIt’s told to ask before anything that can’t be undone, and before anything goes out.
  5. Doing right by your clientsIt’s told never to help anyone look better than they are to the people relying on them.
  6. Being useful to youIt gets the work ready. You decide.

These are rules, not magic. AI can still get things wrong, which is why the yes stays yours.

What does OwnOS do without asking?

Tap one to see who decides.

Waits for your yes

Once sent, nobody can take it back.

What it costs

Built with me. Then yours.

Four sessions and two follow-ups with me. $5,500 + GST, in two halves. If it isn’t doing what we agreed and I can’t fix it, you don’t pay the second half, and you keep what we’ve built.

How that works. From two weeks after our first session, and before the second half is paid, tell me what isn’t working and why you think it can’t be fixed. I decide, reasonably and in good faith, after a real attempt to fix it. Beyond your rights under consumer law, the first half isn’t refunded.

You’ll also need a paid Claude plan, about US$100 a month, paid to Anthropic.

Rather set it up yourself? The OwnOS kit is $2,500 + GST, on your own, without the sessions or the guarantee.

For more than one person, I’ll scope it on the audit, then quote it in writing.

Questions.

What happens to my ChatGPT and Claude work?
It comes with you. Gather it in one folder and OwnOS sorts it. Projects that already work can stay.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You won’t write code. You need a Mac or Windows PC, a paid Claude plan and two free tools the setup walks you through.
What about my data?
Your AI provider sees the text it works on. Setup covers whether your plan lets them train on it. The OwnOS kit has no tracking and reports nothing back.
Which AI does it work with?
I build it on Claude, and a build with me needs a paid Claude plan. I also run it on Codex and Cursor myself. Your files are plain text, so they come with you if you change tools.
What if I stop?
Nothing switches off. The licence doesn’t run out, your data stays yours, and a build with me includes 12 months of updates.

Doubts welcome. Bring them to the audit.

You talk first: what you use today and what you’re unsure about. If OwnOS isn’t right for you, I’ll say so.

45 minutes with me, live on my own system. No slides, no pressure.
