One offer · installed in an afternoon

Talk to the rock. Don't hit it.

Redefine your relationship with work.

Most people use AI like a faster search bar. What actually takes work off your desk isn't better prompting or a course. It's memory.

Two minutes of an actual install watch

A chief of staff that knows your business: your people, your inbox, your calendar, your files.

That's what "talk to the rock, don't hit it" means. Stop hammering at the work by hand. Hand it to a system that already holds the context and tell it what you need. I build it in one afternoon, sitting next to you.

A few of the tools it plugs into, not a full list.

One afternoon. Then it knows you.

I sit with you for an afternoon and connect it to your email, your calendar and your files. Then I build the part that matters: what it knows about your business, your people, and how you talk. Then I name three jobs it does for you every week, and all three are running before I leave.

  • It's me in the room, on purpose. I watch what you hesitate over, and that's what I build in.
  • Your accounts, your login. I don't hold a copy of anything. Revoke my access the day after and it all keeps working.
  • Nothing to learn. If you can use email you can use this. You won't type a command during the install, or after.
  • Don't tidy up first. Everyone's files are a mess, and the mess is information. It's how you work. Tidying would delete the thing I'm there to read.
  • Intake: fifteen minutes. Five questions about how you actually work.
  • The install: ninety minutes. Connections, then the memory layer, then three named jobs running in front of you.
  • One page: how to add the fourth job yourself.
  • Day seven: twenty minutes on the phone. We'll fix whatever broke.

Commands you'll ever type

You do 10%. The system does 80%. You keep the last 10%.

The gap between AI that helps a little and AI that runs your operation is context. I build what it knows, what it owns, what "done" looks like, and when to bring something to you. That's how it carries the heavy middle instead of autocompleting. You set the direction and make the calls. It does the work in between.

On your own, or with generic AI
You · 40%
AI · 20%
You · 40%
With proper context engineering
You 10%
The system · 80%
You 10%

The goal. The actual split varies with your setup.

Talk to the rock. Don't hit it. You hand the work over the way you'd hand it to a good employee: give it the context and a clear goal, and it comes back with the work done. You stop typing and start directing. That 80% only works because it knows things. A tool that starts from nothing every morning can't carry the middle.

Everyone is on one of four rungs.

Almost nobody is where they think they are. Read them honestly and find yourself. Most people stop at the second one and assume that's what AI is.

01
The search bar

You ask it things you'd otherwise have googled. It answers. You close the tab. Useful, occasionally impressive, and it changes nothing about your week.

02
The rewriter

You paste something in and get a better version back. You still explain the background every time, and you still edit what comes out. This is where most people stop.

03
Memory

It knows your business, your people, your voice, your calendar, your files. It stops rewriting and starts drafting, and what comes back sounds like you. It's read a hundred things you've written.

04
It holds jobs

Named work it does every week without being asked. It triages your inbox before you open it, sends the follow-ups, and has your brief ready when you sit down.

"But mine already remembers me." A little. That memory is reactive: scraps it picked up while you were asking about something else. It has never seen your inbox, your calendar, or one of your documents, and it's locked to one tool on one account, so nobody else on your team can use it. It remembers you the way a colleague who's overheard you in the hallway for six months remembers you. I give it the version that's read the file.

Built once, on purpose. Then it compounds. The system is worth more in month three than on the day I install it.

Memory is the whole job.

I'm Rooks.

Rooks Pliner

I think almost everything that goes wrong between people is a misunderstanding nobody caught in time. That's a strange reason to build software. It's the real one.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and I've spent my career on the last mile of hard technology: not building it, but getting it to work for the person who has to use it. I delivered autonomous drones to oil fields in Texas as a solutions engineer and program manager. Then I led post-sales for an electronic faucet manufacturer selling into more than seventy countries. That's the department that finds out whether the thing works once the salesperson has gone home.

Both were the same job: someone hands you a piece of technology and a person who never asked for it, and you make them get along. That's what an install is.

I built campaign tracking for a media company that used to eat six or seven hours a week. It takes twenty to thirty minutes now, and better than 95% of it runs without anyone touching it. I also built a chief of staff, the same thing described on this page, for a friend running a finance business in Israel. It briefs him, and he makes real decisions off what it tells him.

Outside work I play flag football. I won the Israeli league championship. It's the only trophy I own and I mention it more than I should.

What this isn't.

I install one thing, properly. That's it.

Twenty minutes tells you whether this is worth it.

I’ll say so if it isn’t.

The questions I get asked.

Why is it only $500?

Because I want the first ten done properly more than I want the money, and because I learn something from every install that makes the next one better.

After ten, the price goes up. What you get doesn't change.

My ChatGPT already remembers me.

A little, and only what it caught in passing. It has never opened your inbox, looked at next week, or read one of your documents. It also lives in one tool on one account, so nobody else on your team can use what it knows.

Think of a colleague who's only ever overheard you in the hallway. That's the version you have. I build the one that sat down and read the file.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Tell me within fourteen days and I'll refund you in full. No argument, no exit interview. You keep everything that was built.

I ask for the money up front because I'm confident enough to hand you an easy way to take it back.

Which AI does it run on? Am I locked into one company?

No. I build on whichever engine fits the job, and I don't resell any of them or take a fee for pointing you at one.

What I build is the memory itself, and it travels. When something better comes along, the system moves and everything it knows about you moves with it. You're not tied to one company.

How is this different from hiring a fractional COO or ops manager?

A fractional COO runs operations day-to-day. I build the infrastructure that makes operations runnable in the first place. After the install, your team, or your future COO, owns the systems and runs them without me.

If you already have an ops person and they're drowning, I'm the right call. If you don't have one and don't want one, I build to that constraint.

What size business is this for?

If you're the person everything routes through, it pays off. Size matters much less than that. What matters is that you have enough real, repeated process for a system to learn.

If you're big enough to have a full operations team already, you need something bigger than an afternoon. I'll point you at people who do that work.

What happens to my data?

It stays in your accounts, under your login. I don't hold a copy. I build on business-tier accounts where your content isn't used for training, and I'll show you that setting during the install. You can revoke my access the day after the install and everything keeps working.

If your counsel wants the architecture in writing first, ask on the call and I'll send it.

My files are a mess. Should I tidy up first?

No. Everyone's are, and the mess is information. How you work is in it. Tidying first would delete the thing I'm there to read.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can use email you can use this. You won't type a single command during the install, and you won't after.

What tools do you build in? Do I have to switch platforms?

I build inside whatever stack you already use: Gmail, Notion, ClickUp, Slack, your calendar, your drive. I don't sell software and I don't collect referral fees for steering you toward platforms.

If your current stack is genuinely the wrong shape for what you need, I'll say so. Otherwise we work with what you have.

Do you sign NDAs and handle confidentiality?

Yes. Standard NDA available before we talk if you want one. The install touches sensitive parts of your business: financials, client lists, internal process. I treat all of it as confidential without being asked.

Let's talk.

Twenty minutes. No deck. I'll tell you by the end of the call whether this is worth your $500, and I'll tell you if it isn't.
