The Clanker Method

How John puts a clanker on it

You don't buy more apps and figure them out yourself. John comes to you, sets everything up, trains you and your team, and keeps it running. Here's exactly how, start to finish.

New to Grok? Grok is xAI's AI assistant; John sets it up as a team of helper bots for your business.

Part 1

Set it up

John does the building, so you don't have to. It happens in three moves.

Set the goal

First we get clear on what AI should actually do for your company. Usually that's four things:

  • Cut the repetitive, time-consuming tasks so you can focus on the work that matters (and maybe leave on time).
  • Automate data collection and management. We find your sources of truth (the spreadsheet, CRM or inbox where the real answer lives), how data flows between them, and what each person needs at every stage of a deal.
  • Streamline and update your tech. Fewer logins, fewer copy-paste jobs, tools that actually talk to each other.
  • Fix your specific pain points, whether that's accounting, marketing, or the thing you groan about every Monday.

Map the business

John sits down with you (and your team, if you have one) and interviews you about everything it takes to onboard, work and close a deal:

  • Where your info lives, who owns what data, and who does which job.
  • Every step of the process, from the first call to the closed deal.
  • What triggers an update. What an internal update looks like (your team moves something along) versus an external one (an email, a signed form or a lender's update shows up), and where that data comes from.

By the end, John knows your process well enough to draw it on a napkin. That's the point.

Automate, with checks

Then John builds automations that take human effort out of as much of that map as possible.

  • Less clicking. Data moves itself from where it shows up to where it's needed.
  • Built-in double-checks that catch human errors (wrong date, missing doc, typo'd email) before they become problems.
  • Custom bots, built and trained for your business when an off-the-shelf tool won't cut it.

Robots do the chores. Humans make the calls.

Part 2

Train your team

No manuals, no video courses. John trains you and your team hands-on, in person, on your own computers and phones, until the Grok account owner (usually the business owner) is a confident Grok power user.

  • A ready-made helper bot team on your Grok account from day one: Echo, Pixel, Hush, Loupe and Overheard (meet them below).
  • Your custom bot, built in part 1 for the chore that's unique to your shop.
  • Your team knows the new routine: what the bots do, what they hand back to a human, and what to do when something looks off.

Part 3

Keep it running

Tools change, businesses grow, and things break at the worst time. John sticks around with an optional monthly support plan, from $750/month.

  • Check-ins to see what's working and what still eats your week.
  • Fixes when a tool changes its settings, its prices or its mind.
  • New automations as the business grows: a new hire, a new service, a new headache.

Meet the bot team

Already built, already trained, ready to clock in. John sets them up and shows you how to use each one.

Echo

Listings checker

Checks that your business name, address, phone and hours match across Google, Apple Maps, Yelp, Facebook and the rest of your online footprint, and flags anything out of sync.

Pixel

Website & design advisor

Looks over your website and gives plain-English advice on design, speed, mobile and SEO: what to fix first and why.

Hush

Spam-call reducer

Finds your personal info on data-broker sites and works through removing it, so fewer spammers get your number.

Loupe

Fine-print reader

Reads your contracts and bills for hidden fees, sneaky price bumps and auto-renewals before they bite.

Overheard

Mention watcher

Watches the web and social media for mentions of your business, so you hear about the review, the shout-out or the complaint first.

Your custom bot

Built in part 1

Whatever chore is unique to your shop, John builds a bot for it and trains it on how you actually work.
