CoS AI Buildathon Series: Build Your Personal AI Workspace | Part-1: Your First Two Skills
Jul 30

CoS AI Buildathon Series: Build Your Personal AI Workspace | Part-1: Your First Two Skills

A three-part series for the Chief of Staff who is done being the bottleneck for communications, strategy, and operations. Across July, August, and September you will build a personal AI workspace one layer at a time: reusable Skills, then connected Projects, then a single dashboard that runs them. Register for one session or all three. Each part builds on the last, and recordings are shared after every session so you can catch up if you miss one. By the end of September you will have a working system that is specific to your role and your principal, not a folder of saved prompts. Part 1 (July): Your First Two Skills Most Chiefs of Staff are still re-typing the same prompts and copying outputs back and forth. This 60-minute session ends that. You will build two reusable Skills that handle the work you repeat every day. What you will build: The Executive Voice Twin (Skill). A Skill trained on your principal's past emails, Slack messages, and board updates, so drafts come back sounding like them instead of like a chatbot. Cowork integration: use Dispatch to send each draft to your principal for a quick vibe check before it goes out. The Dispatcher (Skill). A triage Skill that reads your inbox and sorts what needs a reply, what needs routing, and what you can ignore. This becomes the front door to the Projects you build in Part 2. You leave with: two working Skills you can use the same afternoon. Before you join: a Claude account. We show every build in Claude; ChatGPT, Gemini, or Codex work too, with slightly different outputs. Registration includes a short setup checklist so everyone starts on the same footing. Homework before Part 2: pick one or two of your own recurring workflows and turn them into Skills using the same method. A quick intro to our event host, Clarinet. Clarinet helps organizations operationalize AI adoption, the people side as much as the tooling. This session is a small version of how they work: less theory, more building. Their team is made up of experts and technologists, and they’re a long-term Chief of Staff Network partner.

Join us for a 1-day gathering designed for leaders who don't just support strategy, but turn it into measurable outcomes. This year's focus is From Force Multiplier to Builder: the shift from amplifying leaders behind the scenes to owning the systems, programs, and operating models that move the business forward. We'll spotlight Chiefs of Staff delivering real results (revenue growth, cost savings, and organizational efficiency) while strengthening the power skills and judgment required to lead through complexity. Core Themes Architecting Systems That Scale: From Ad Hoc to Operating Model Design repeatable operating systems for planning, decisions, and communication that reduce friction and enable growth without constant intervention. The Launcher's Toolkit: Shipping Projects That Move Metrics Learn how top CoS leaders scope, resource, and deliver high-impact initiatives with clear KPIs, from AI implementations to new business units. Developing Leaders, Not Just Supporting Them Design programs that grow your executive team's capabilities and create succession depth across the organization. Engineering Intelligent Operations: The CoS as Chief AI Architect Take ownership of AI strategy execution—evaluating tools, designing workflows, driving adoption, and establishing governance that turns AI from experiment to competitive advantage. From Firefighter to Architect: Designing Organizational Resilience Stop solving the same problems repeatedly. Create early warning systems, decision protocols, and cross-functional structures that prevent crises and accelerate recovery. Who Should Attend This event is built for senior Chiefs of Staff who are ready to move beyond execution support and become the architects of how their companies operate. If you're driving strategic initiatives, building organizational systems, or leading transformation, this is your peer group.

I came across Chief of Staff Network when considering the CoS role for the first time and found the content about the role was so helpful, I immediately became a member when I officially started the position.

Launchpad has equipped me with a strong foundation for succeeding in the Chief of Staff role. The intimate cohort setting provided a safe environment to ask questions and learn from peers in similar stages of their careers. While the program introduces current Chiefs of Staff to practical skills and frameworks they can apply immediately, I’ve also found many of these tools relevant and valuable in my current role as an aspiring Chief of Staff.
The mental models and frameworks were fantastic! Having a practical resource that I can go back to is really helpful. It was also great to hear about the experiences of more seasoned CoS -- I found that to be particularly helpful for both new insights, and validation on my approaches/thinking.
This was a strong introductory course that contained a good overview of all the components of a Chief of Staff role. I also liked the collaborative feel of the sessions as opposed to sitting for lectures.

As a 4× Chief of Staff, it was genuinely refreshing to learn from such a diverse group of experienced practitioners. The speakers brought thoughtful, relevant perspectives, but what stood out most for me was the community. Being able to bounce ideas off others and sit in a space where you realise you’re not alone in the role made a huge difference. Tom and Scott have done an amazing job creating that kind of open, supportive environment.
