Look, we get it

You've been burned before.
By hires, freelancers and agencies.

The freelancer who disappeared

You were one client of many. The work stopped when their attention did.

The agency that built it and left

The project ended. The maintenance didn't. It broke, and it was yours to fix.

The hire who couldn't keep up

Good at tasks, lost with AI. You ended up doing the building yourself.

That's why an AI Operator is one certified person on your team, chosen by you, trained every week, and replaced fast if it's ever not right.

Why founders choose us

AI follows prompts. Your AI Operator writes them.

  • Lead follow-up that never forgets
  • Call notes straight into your CRM
  • A Monday KPI report, written for you
  • Internal tools, dashboards, landing pages and quizzes, built with Claude Code

Example of an automation an AI Operator builds and runs.

How it works

Activate. Build. Run.

Day 1

Pick your operator

Within 24 hours of your call you meet 3 certified AI Operators. Interview them and choose. If none fit, your placement fee comes back in full.

Activate

Your AI Activation call

We map how your business actually runs, decide where AI goes first, and build your business a second brain, so your operator knows how you think from day one.

Build

They build it

Automations, internal tools, dashboards and pages, built with AI on your real tools. Your first build is live by day 14.

Run

They run it

They watch every run and fix what breaks before you notice, and run your day-to-day when nothing needs building. Every Friday: what shipped, and the next ideas. You reply yes or no.

The risk is on us

Two guarantees. You never get stuck.

Questions founders ask

Before you apply.

Isn't this just an assistant with a new title?

No. An AI Operator's job is to make AI actually happen in your business. Every operator we certify finishes 40+ hours of training, then a 5-day final project where they build a full funnel with AI, scored on a 25-point rubric, plus an interview.

Can they build apps, not just automations?

Yes. Every AI Operator is trained on Claude Code. They build internal tools, dashboards, landing pages, quizzes and simple web apps, the kind of thing you would otherwise hire a developer or an agency for.

What if they can't build what I need?

That's what the Replacement Guarantee is for: we replace them fast, at no cost. For builds beyond one person, senior builders and the Leverage School community stand behind your operator.

What do you need from me?

Access to your tools, one AI Activation call, and a yes or no on the Friday Note.

What about security and my data?

Everything your operator builds is yours. Every account stays in your name, you control access, and everything is documented in your Ownership Binder. If you handle sensitive or regulated data, tell us on the call and we set clear data boundaries before your operator touches anything.

Who owns what they build?

You do. Every account, workflow and prompt stays in your name. If we ever replace your operator, the work is handed over.

Is there a long contract?

No. Month to month at $3,600, or save with the quarterly or annual plan. The one-time placement fee is $3,000, paid when you start matching and fully refunded if none of your 3 matches fit.

How is an AI Operator different from a Pareto Right Hand?

Same bootcamp, same vetting and the same full-time, US-hours model. An AI Operator is certified on a full AI build and their main job is to build and run the AI in your business. A Right Hand's main job is running your day-to-day operations. Not sure which you need? We'll tell you on the call.

What exactly is an AI operator?

A full-time person who builds, runs and maintains the AI inside your business. Our guide explains what an AI operator is, what they build, what they cost and how we test them.

Where are AI Operators based?

Latin America, working your US hours. They come through our 10-day live bootcamp with 40+ hours of training, then a 5-day final build project, scored on a 25-point rubric, plus an interview. And they keep training with us every week.
