Scale yourself first: get started with Agentic AI
I gave this talk at She Scales at the NatWest Accelerator in Newcastle. If you were in the room, thank you. If you found this on LinkedIn or Google, hello and welcome.
This page is where the prompts live. Three agents, three free downloads, and no Google Drive folder to hunt through.
Quick bit about me. I'm not a developer. My career has been proper squiggly: museums, archaeology, marketing, comms. I've never written a line of code. What I do have is curiosity and a problem I wanted gone. That turned out to be enough.
Start with the problem, not the tech
If you only remember one thing, then it's this: don't start with the AI. Start with the annoying thing.
Before you build anything, ask yourself three questions:
What's blocking me right now?
Where is the bottleneck in my week?
What keeps slipping because I'm busy doing everything else?
If the answer is a task that's repetitive, draining or easy to forget, you've found a job for an agent. If it isn't, you might need an alternative solution.
Agent 1: Busy Lizzy, the new business scout
The problem: when you're busy delivering work, finding the next piece of work is the first thing to slide. Then you look up and the pipeline's empty.
The agent: it scans for new business opportunities every morning, so I'm not relying on remembering to go looking. I get a short list. I decide what's worth following up.
How it adds value: it doesn't replace the conversations. It just stops the finding part from depending on how my week went.
The download gives you the prompt and a list of the bits to swap for your own business: who you help, where they hang out, and what a good lead looks like.
Agent 2: Mic Drop, the speaker scout
The problem: speaking gigs don't land in your inbox. Someone has to spot the call for speakers, work out if it's a fit, and write the pitch. That someone is usually you, at 10 pm.
The agent: every week it searches LinkedIn for organisers, podcast hosts and conference producers asking for speakers or guests. It checks each one against my topics, the format and the location. Then it sends me the link, a one-line reason it fits, and a pitch drafted in my voice.
How it adds value: I still send the pitch, and I still edit it. But I'm starting from a draft and a shortlist instead of a blank page and a scroll.
The download includes the prompt and a short guide to feeding it your own bio, topics and no-go list.
Agent 3: Ada Flow, the scheduler that works with my biology
The problem: most calendars treat every day as identical. Female biology dictates otherwise. Some days I'm ready for a big pitch. Some days I'd rather hide at home with a blanket.
The agent: Ada Flow knows where I am in my cycle and helps me plan around it. The idea is simple. Put the right work in the right week, so I can show up as my best self wherever I am in my cycle.
How it adds value: it's a performance and wellness tool, not a period tracker. It's about working with your body instead of pushing against it and wondering why you're knackered.
The download is the simple version. You give it the date your last period started and your average cycle length. It works out which phase you're in and helps you plan your week and answer questions through that lens.
Remember, it's a planning aid, not medical advice. If something feels off with your health, talk to your GP.
Download your prompts
Pick the one that solves your problem. You don't need all three.
Busy Lizzy (new business scout):
Mic Drop (speaker scout):
Ada Flow (cycle-aware scheduler):
How to use them
Open Claude and paste in the prompt.
Swap anything in [square brackets] for your own details.
Run it, see what comes back, and tweak. The first version won't be perfect. Mine weren't.
Start small
Pick one problem. Build one agent. Give it a couple of weeks before you judge it.
If it's useful, brilliant. If it isn't, you've learned what you actually need, which is also useful.
And if you build something, I'd love to hear about it. Drop me a message on LinkedIn and tell me what problem you picked.
Want a hand building yours?
Some people read this and think, "Great, but I'd rather not do it on my own." Fair enough.
I run Power Hours where we pick one problem in your business and work out the agent for it together. Book a Power Hour

Coming soon. We're just busy editing it.
