Founding rate · $4,500
Save $497 if you book before the AI giants catch up.
Right now, ChatGPT and Claude can sort of remember you between chats. Soon — probably within a year — one of the big AI vendors (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google) will ship an assistant that remembers you continuously, like a coworker who’s been with you for years. When that lands, having YOUR work already organized in YOUR own brain becomes more valuable, not less— those AIs are racing to learn what you’ve already organized. The $4,500 rate holds until I’ve completed 25 installs OR until one of those products ships, whichever comes first. After that it’s $4,997. Founding-rate buyers keep $4,500 on renewals.
Personal path · volume bands
Personal Brain Install — per-employee.
| Volume | Per-employee |
|---|---|
| Solo (1) | $4,997 |
| Small (2–9) | $4,997 each |
| Mid (10–19) | $4,497 each |
| Growth (20–49) | $3,997 each |
| Org (50–99) | $3,497 each |
| Enterprise (100+) | Custom |
Why $4,997 — ~20 hours of skilled work at $150/hr effective, marked up for the productized infrastructure (Workers / D1 / Vectorize / Workers AI / Access deploy, branded subdomain, MCP server, capture surface), 30-day support, and the productized risk premium. Sub-year payback for any knowledge worker saving 5–10 hours/week.
Ongoing care
Personal Brain Retainer.
