Co-founder & Head of Product, SalesAi

Put AI to work inside your team's operating cadence.

I help founders and leadership teams build practical AI workflows, organize shared knowledge, and reduce repetitive coordination work. We start with one useful workflow and build it together.

Built for teams that run on a weekly rhythm, whether that's EOS, Scaling Up, Shape Up, or Agile.

See it work

My AI chief of staff
runs on three routines.

Sunday sets the week. Each morning plans the day, and each evening closes it and sets up tomorrow. It's the system I use every day, shown here on a fictional company so nothing private leaks.

What it reads

One source of truth. Every routine reads and writes the same notes: daily notes, active workstreams, and goals. Nothing depends on anyone remembering.

Weekly PlanSun, Sep 13 · 12:00 PM

Drafts only. Nothing changes a shared system without approval.

Work with me

One offer. One workflow first.

We build your AI chief of staff together, connect it to the tools your team already uses, and set up a repeatable way to choose what to improve next.

What your chief of staff does

Your day, briefed by 8 AMTop three, meeting prep, and the decisions waiting on you, pulled from your calendar, inbox, and team chat.

Nothing lost after a meetingDecisions logged and action items filed with an owner and a due date, straight from your meeting notes.

Every day closed outWhat moved, what's stuck, and tomorrow's short list, written before you log off.

A week planned against your scorecardLast week scored against your goals, one bottleneck named, and next week's top three set every Sunday.

Every workstream trackedAn owner, next action, and due date on everything in flight. Stale work gets flagged, not forgotten.

You approve what mattersIt drafts and prepares. Nothing goes out or changes a shared system without your OK.

How we workTwo 60-minute build sessions and a written review each month. We set a baseline and a success measure, then connect your tools in stages.

Not includedCustom software, a company-wide rollout on day one, on-call support, or guaranteed savings.

Works with EOS, Scaling Up, Shape Up, and Agile. Independent practice, not affiliated with or certified by EOS Worldwide.

Case study

I run my own week on this.
Here's what changed.

My first case study is my own operation. Client case studies will replace it as engagements finish.

// before

Every day started by rebuilding context.

Mornings went to scrolling channels, checking the board, and rereading yesterday's notes.
Decisions made in meetings didn't always reach the place I tracked the work.
Open workstreams lived in my head, so anything I didn't touch for a week quietly went stale.
Weekly planning happened when there was time, which meant it mostly didn't.

// after

The day is framed before I sit down.

The morning brief lands at 8:00 with my top three, active workstreams, and meeting prep.
The 5:00 debrief logs decisions, files commitments, and writes tomorrow's short list.
Every workstream has a next action and a last-moved date, and stale ones get flagged.
Sunday's plan scores the week against my goals and names the one bottleneck to fix.

Free

About

I've scaled a company. Now I build with AI.

I'm Brandon Poplstein. I built a software company past $500K in monthly recurring revenue and sold it. Scaling it taught me that growing companies run on a cadence: clear priorities, honest weekly reviews, and decisions that actually reach the people doing the work.

Today I'm co-founder and head of product at SalesAi, where we build AI agents for revenue teams. I run my own work on an AI chief of staff built from the three routines above, and I help other founders and leadership teams put the same kind of setup inside the system they already have.

What building actually looks like.
