The Basics
What is Ask Patrick?

Ask Patrick is a library of ready-made AI assistant setups — built and tested by Patrick in his actual business, then packaged so you can use them in yours.

Most people know AI can help with business tasks, but they don't know how to set it up reliably. Ask Patrick solves that. You get the exact configs, playbooks, and instructions — not a tutorial on theory, but a working setup you can copy and run today.

Think of it like having a business-owner friend who's already done the messy trial-and-error and is handing you what works.

Who is this for?

Ask Patrick is built for small business owners and solopreneurs who are too busy to spend months learning AI from scratch — but ready to actually use it.

You're a good fit if you:

  • Have tried ChatGPT and liked it, but aren't sure how to make it do useful work every day
  • Want to automate repetitive tasks (emails, summaries, follow-ups, content) without hiring someone
  • Are willing to read a doc and spend an hour setting something up — if it actually works

You don't need to know how to code. You do need to be willing to try things.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a tool. Ask Patrick is the operating manual for turning that tool into something that actually runs your business.

When you open ChatGPT, you get a blank box. Every session starts from scratch. You have to re-explain everything, prompt it carefully, and do most of the thinking yourself. That's useful — but it's not automation.

What Ask Patrick gives you:

  • Pre-built identity files — your AI assistant knows its job before you say a word
  • Scheduled tasks — it checks your inbox, drafts your briefing, follows up on leads while you sleep
  • Reliable behavior — the same setup that does the job on Monday does it on Friday too
  • A library of working configs — not prompts you have to debug, but setups that have been tested in production

ChatGPT is the engine. Ask Patrick teaches you how to build a car with it.

The Library
What's actually in the Library?

The Library is a growing collection of AI assistant setups — each one documented, tested, and ready to use. Right now there are 40+ items and new ones are added every night.

What's inside covers the full picture of running an AI assistant in a real business:

  • Identity templates (the file that tells your assistant who it is and what it does)
  • Inbox triage and email management setups
  • Weekly summary and client report automations
  • Social media drafting and content repurposing workflows
  • Lead follow-up and CRM update patterns
  • Morning briefing configurations
  • Multi-assistant coordination (if you run more than one)
  • Cost optimization (how to get 80% of the results at 20% of the API cost)
  • Error handling and reliability patterns

Each item includes a plain-English explanation and copy-paste-ready files. Not theory — a working setup.

How often is it updated?

Every night. Patrick reviews what's working, what's changed in the AI landscape, and what members are asking about — and updates the Library accordingly.

You also get a Daily Briefing with your subscription: a short summary of what's new, what changed, and what to pay attention to. It lands in the Discord #daily-briefing channel each morning.

Do I need to be technical to use the Library configs?

No. Most Library setups are designed to be read, understood, and applied without writing any code.

You'll be working with structured text files (think: a very specific set of instructions you paste into a tool). The hardest part is usually filling in the blanks with your own business details — which is actually the point. It only works when it knows your context.

If you get stuck, that's what the Workshop tier is for. Post what you're trying to do, and Patrick will help you unstick it.

Pricing & Plans
What do I get for $9/month?

The Library + Briefing tier gives you:

  • Full access to every item in the Library (40+ now, growing nightly)
  • Daily Briefing delivered to Discord every morning
  • Access to #library-updates and #daily-briefing in the Discord community

It's the foundation. If you want to browse, learn, and implement at your own pace — this is the tier to start with.

What does $29/month get me that $9 doesn't?

The Workshop tier is for when you want Patrick's eyes on your specific situation — not just access to templates.

With Workshop you get everything in Library, plus:

  • Post your questions, setup files, or error logs in #workshop
  • Patrick reads your actual config and tells you what to fix
  • Same-day responses on weekdays
  • Config reviews — paste your setup, get back a specific answer

If you've hit a wall, or you want to move faster than trial-and-error, Workshop is worth it.

What's the Operator's Handbook ($39 one-time)?

The Handbook is an 80+ page written guide covering the whole philosophy of running AI assistants that actually work reliably.

It goes deeper than any single Library item — covering how to design an assistant's identity, how to manage memory so it doesn't drift over time, how to set up escalation rules, how to handle errors, and how to build a multi-assistant system if you ever need one.

You buy it once and own it forever, including all future updates. Best paired with the Library so you have both the big picture and the ready-to-use configs.

Is there a free trial?

No free trial — but there's a 30-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan.

If you sign up and decide it's not useful, just ask within 30 days and you'll get a full refund. No forms, no hoops, no "why are you leaving" interrogation. Just ask.

In the meantime, #free-tips in Discord is open to everyone and gives you a real sample of what's in the Library.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, from your account dashboard. Takes about 30 seconds. You keep access until the end of your billing period — no clawbacks, no partial months.

If you're canceling because something isn't working, consider posting in #support first. A lot of problems that feel like dead ends have a quick fix.

I subscribed but can't see the paid Discord channels. Help!

Check your welcome email for a link to connect your Discord account to your subscription. That step is what unlocks the paid channels.

If the email isn't there or the link didn't work, DM @Miso in the Discord server and she'll sort it out within a few minutes.
