My last update before I go on holiday tomorrow and properly disconnect in the forest in Lithuania. Don't worry, I will be back in early August if you have any questions or need support. In just the last two weeks I designed and built the foundations of a full AI-enabled business system: - A complete masterclass sales funnel - A custom CRM - Automation sequences - An official Markitect business website connected to the funnel - My personal brand website, finally (but still needs some tweaks when I get back) - A public speaking trailer on my personal site (created by Claude Code) - The MVP of my Steady Sleep app, now live as a PWA on my phone for beta testing Alongside the building, my AI brain and Claude Fable helped pressure test my offers, business plan for the next 8 months, scalability plans, AI agent strategy, websites, app, privacy/data choices and more. One of my favourite side builds was Steady Sleep: a local-first morning recovery and nightmare tracking app, based around gentle check-ins, pattern tracking and Imagery Rehearsal Therapy. It still needs more beta testing, but it is a brilliant learning project and a very meaningful one for me personally. The bigger build was the Markitect AI sales organisation: from a diagram to a tested funnel, locked-down CRM, email engine with human approval gates, booking pipeline, dashboard, automation workflows, documentation and a realistic 9-month plan. Plus a weekly scheduled prompt that checks the security across all of my systems. Very nice. **Check out the picture - a demo dashboard of my funnel! This has been a huge amount of work, but also one of the clearest examples I’ve experienced of what’s possible when AI becomes a real thinking and building partner. Now I’m off to rest, reset and spend time in the forest. I hope you are having a great summer! Keep chasing your dreams ☺️ Architect Anna

I get a lot of questions about sales and I've been designing an optimised sales funnel for a while now and I'm hoping I can push myself to start testing it out soon, but I figured why not give you guys a sneak peak into how it would work in case it will be helpful for your business. Okay first off sales funnels are only really useful if you are starting to or wanting to sell at scale, so if you're not at that stage yet, don't stress yourself out. I started my business over three years ago and only feel like maybe now is the time to really push things to the next level. My special sales funnel (currently in theory, testing soon) Step 0 - Be constantly present on social media building my trust and authority (in progress) Step 1 - Create/advertise a highly engaging, high value, curiosity driven live masterclass (30-60 minutes) This will be for free, targeting my ideal clients, they are the top clients I want all the way at the end of this funnel, but you will get a lot of other people coming through that might not be as much of a qualified lead. Sales is a numbers game. I will use organic reach and paid ads to get people signed up to the masterclass and reminders to have them show up. I have not been great with email marketing in the past, but that is also something I want to improve this year. Step 2 - Run the masterclass and tell people there will be a bonus gift for people that stay to the end (and also need to be on the live call, this will help in the messaging ahead of the call to increase show up rate) The bonus gift will be an AI diagnostic prompt to help them identify their personal and business weak points and where AI could be most valuable as well as identifying the opportunity cost of what would happen if they were to delay taking action (this will create a bit of urgency which will be important later) Step 2.5 - At the end of the masterclass along with the AI diagnostic prompt, give them a second bonus (always trying to overdeliver) and invite people to book a free 30 minute AI diagnostic call with me (this is a sales call, but there are lots of names for sales calls now because people do not want to be sold to, but they do want their problems solved and are willing to pay for the solutions. Other names for sales calls you might have heard of; A discovery call, a strategy call, an intro call, a consultation etc)

I absolutely love where I live, but my balcony is not a place I spend any time because it's gross. One downside to living in a penthouse is there is a lot bird poop from the birds that perch in the roof. So I decided as a birthday gift to myself to get the balcony cleaned up and give it a makeover! I used AI to help redesign the space, research items in my budget and render out visuals of the designs as they progressed. It only took a few hours from start to finish when I ordered new flooring, a divider, plant pots, and a furniture set. I'm on my way to B&Q now to grab plants and then we will see how it turns out. AI can help you do amazing things, but in this case, it's just a balcony :) I hope you're having a lovely weekend! Architect Anna

I have a copilot training scheduled. The company wants to use Teams instead of Zoom. My presentation is created in Canva. I spent—I kid you not—4 hours trying to figure out how to share the presentation via Teams. I finally figured out it only works to share my Canva presentation if I connect with the desktop version and not the browser. Am I missing something? Would love to know if you’ve experienced this too
