A static ebook
One generic file. Examples that may not sound like your business. When a tool’s menu or price moves, the PDF stays wrong until someone emails a new file.
A living members program, not a PDF ebook
Not an ebook. A living AI program built for your type of business.
Pick your kind of business — a nail salon, a CPA, a restaurant, a painter, and others — and you get a customized 15-minute daily track with copy you can paste and links to click. We review and update the guide as tools change. Each step shows a last-reviewed date. This is not a static PDF that goes stale.
Ebook vs. a living program
This living program
A customized track for your business type, with scripts, setup links, and illustrations. Reviewed and updated as tools change. Twelve months of updates are included with a purchase. After that, an optional Stay Current plan (not final) would keep them coming.
Tailored to your business type
When you open the guide, you pick a category and, if you want, a named type. Scripts, tool notes, example scenarios, and illustrated hours-back figures follow that choice. You can change it anytime. Progress is saved in your browser.
Home Services & Trades
The AI Work Boots edition. Painters, landscapers, tree trimmers, paver and concrete crews, pressure washing, pool service, HVAC / plumbing / electrical, roofing, and cleaning.
Construction & Contractors
General contractors, remodelers, framers, builders, and specialty subs.
Personal Care & Beauty
Nail salons, hair salons and barbers, spas, and lash or brow studios.
Health & Wellness
Personal trainers and gyms, massage, chiropractic, and therapy practices — with a HIPAA caution, and no protected health information in consumer AI.
Professional Services
CPAs and bookkeepers, insurance agents, real estate agents, and attorneys — with confidentiality cautions, and no client files in consumer AI.
Food & Hospitality
Restaurants, cafes, food trucks, and caterers — with a caution not to invent allergen or health claims.
Retail & E-commerce
Local shops and online, Etsy, or Shopify sellers. Missed-call text-back is swapped for an inbox and DM auto-reply when a shop phone isn’t the main leak.
Pets & Animal Care
Groomers, dog walkers, sitters, and trainers. No veterinary advice from a chatbot.
Other / any small business
The general track, if your work doesn’t fit a category above — you can switch later.
The problem
You already know AI could help
The advice is usually vague: “use ChatGPT more.” That does not text a missed caller back, follow up a quote, or ask for a review the same way every time — and a generic ebook rarely sounds like your kind of business.
You don’t have hours to tinker
If you run the business yourself, a 40-page ebook you’ll “get to later” does not get set up. You need one 15-minute step you can finish before lunch, or before the first job, written for the work you actually do.
Tools change, PDFs don’t
Menus move. Prices change. A static file goes stale. A living members program can be reviewed and updated as tools change, with a last-reviewed date on each step.
How the 15-minute track works
One setup a day, for 19 steps (Start here, then Days 1–18). After the first setups, Week 3 walks you through building a business AI assistant, giving it repeatable jobs, and connecting a draft-only automation you approve before anything is sent. Each step has a checkbox, copy-and-paste scripts, links to official tool pages, a last-reviewed date, and a short “check it works” list. The examples, tools, and even the suggested step order follow the business type you picked. You can stop after any step and still keep what you built.
What a day looks like
- Open the step. Read the goal, the time it should take, and the “for your business” examples.
- Follow the numbered setup. Click the vendor links. Paste the script with a copy button.
- Check that it works (a test call, a test booking, a scheduled post).
- Mark the step complete. The illustrated “hours back” total adds that step’s example figure.
What’s inside
19-step track
From first contact and review requests through booking, email drafts, a month of posts, receipts, and SOPs, then a Week 3 where you build a business AI assistant, give it repeatable jobs, and connect a draft-only automation — plus a weekly routine, with order or swaps that fit your type of business.
Copy you can paste
Texts, emails, prompts, and booking-page language, with placeholders instead of invented facts, written for your category and named type.
Reviewed as tools change
A last-reviewed date on each step, a What’s New page, and 12 months of updates included with a purchase. We review and update the guide as tools change — not a claim that every tool is “the newest” or “the best.”
AI Work Boots
The branded trades edition of the same program: painter, landscaper, concrete, paver, and other home-service examples. Other categories (salons, CPAs, restaurants, and more) live in AI Before Lunch.
Illustrated hours back — an example, not a promise
Working prices — not final
Sales are not open yet. These are draft tiers for discussion. Founding prices would apply to the first 100 buyers only, with a real end date still to be set. Every tier is planned to include 12 months of updates. We do not offer lifetime updates. If you want to be emailed when early access begins, join the waitlist.

After 12 months: Stay Current (placeholder, not final)
When the included 12 months of updates end, an optional Stay Current plan would keep reviews and updates coming. Working range: $9–$19 a month, not final — the exact price and billing start have not been set. Stay Current is also the planned path toward a future done-for-you option, which is not for sale yet. If you don’t continue, you keep access to the guide as it stood at the end of your 12 months; new updates would stop. This is not a lifetime-updates promise.
FAQ
Is this a PDF or an ebook?
No. When sales open, buyers will get a login to a members page with a track tailored to their business type, copy buttons, links, illustrations, a last-reviewed date on each step, and updates. A printable companion can come later. The paid guide is not on this public site. Join the waitlist to be emailed when early access begins.
What does “tailored to your business type” mean?
You pick a category (for example, Personal Care & Beauty or Professional Services) and, if you want, a named type such as nail salon, CPA, or restaurant. The guide then shows example scenarios, copy-and-paste scripts, tool notes, illustrated hours-back figures, and — where a step doesn’t fit — a swap or an optional skip. Home Services & Trades is the AI Work Boots edition.
Do I need to buy new software?
Most days start on a free plan or a tool you already pay for. Where we mention a paid plan, we say so and link to the vendor’s pricing page. Prices and menus change; confirm them there before you subscribe. We review and update recommendations as tools change; that is not a claim that a listed tool is “the newest” or “the best.”
What is AI Work Boots?
The trades edition of the same living program — for painters, landscapers, concrete and paver crews, and other home-service shops. It is a branded landing and tailoring of AI Before Lunch, not a separate 15-day system. Which purchase tiers include which packs is not final. Other business types use aibeforelunch.com; the trades edition lives at aiworkboots.com.
What’s included in the 12 months of updates?
A purchase is planned to include 12 months of updates on every tier, with priority updates for Complete. We review and update the guide as tools change and post notes on the What’s New page. After 12 months, an optional Stay Current plan (working range $9–$19/month, not final) would keep updates coming. We do not promise lifetime updates.
Are the “hours back” numbers guaranteed?
No. They are illustrations, not promises and not typical results, and they adjust slightly by business type. After 30 days you should replace them with your own rough estimate. If a setup is not saving you time, pause it.
Is this legal, tax, or compliance advice?
No. The guide is educational. You are responsible for how you use any tool and for the laws that apply to your business, including texting, calling, recording, privacy (including HIPAA where it applies), confidentiality, advertising, food claims, and hiring. Read the disclaimer. A lawyer should review these pages before the first sale.
How do I join the waitlist?
Email support@aibeforelunch.com and ask to be added. There is no checkout on this site yet, and joining the waitlist is free.
Refund policy
Sales are not open yet, so there is nothing to refund today. When purchases begin, we intend to offer a simple 30-day money-back window if the program is not a fit. Read the refund policy.
Disclosures
AI disclosure. This site was prepared with AI assistance and then edited. If later videos use an AI avatar or AI voice, they will be labeled “AI-assisted.” An avatar will only say facts the founder has approved.
Affiliate disclosure. Some tool links may later be affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That will be disclosed next to the link, under the FTC Endorsement Guides. No affiliate links are live on this site.
Results. We make no guarantee of any result, including any “hours back” figure, revenue, or lead volume.
Updates. “Includes 12 months of updates” is the planned offer, not a lifetime promise. Stay Current pricing is a working range, not final. Tool recommendations are reviewed and updated as tools change; that is not a claim that any tool is the newest or the best.
About
