Recently had a call with a $50M CEO who thought that AI "couldn't do anything for him".
Meanwhile this same guy said he's spending 6-8 hours a day on email.
Realistically his time is probably worth $5K/hour (maybe more).
So if I charged him $10,000 to build an email triage skill that took me 5 minutes to build it would be such a laughably good deal for him he'd be crazy not to take it.
The skill would read every incoming message and drop it into one of 5 buckets:
-needs his decision
-needs a reply
-needs awareness only
-can be delegated
-can be ignored
He told me that roughly 90% of what hits an his inbox is FYI. Zero action required. This skill would surface the 10% and draft the responses (never auto send).
That's 4 to 5 hours a day handed back to someone whose time is worth $5,000 an hour or more.
Thinking through this as I write this out I should probably charge double.
