AI Bear guide on setting up personal AI-enabled OS or benefiting business with AI
You bought the engine.
Nobody sold you the car.
"I have to explain again and again..."
"The answers are generic…"
"We bought AI. Nothing changed…"
If this is relevant - the guide is for you.
I’ve put it together, based on my set up.
My name is Ev Garde.
I live and work in Manchester, UK.
For more than 10 years I’ve been rolling out, scaling and implementing SaaS (software as a service) across small and large businesses.
Building up on this experience, I now write about Applied AI in the AI Bear newsletter.
I've put the guides below together for those, who want to get more out of AI.

For yourself
Build your own AI system
From a generic chat to a system, that knows your work, your decisions, and does job while you’re away.
No developer skills required, but a proper set up which you establish over a weekend:
Set up your ‘vault’ - give space and memory to your AI, so you can work together on something.
Decide what it can do and what not - define rules and guard rails.
Integrate with storage, email, calendar, meeting recorder.
Build your first skills and agents, off-load repetitive tasks and free up your time for important topics.
Free. Unsubscribe whenever. I will not pass your address on.
For your company
Unblock AI return in business
Similar to a personal system, but at a company scale - you have to think more about governance, safety, GDPR, and - costs.
Starting point will be an an assessment on how AI-ready your organisation is.
How to make AI-ready data as a starting point, so AI knows the context of organisation.
How to set up governance and processes in a future-proof way.
Overcome barriers and mental blocks of employees.
Where to actually start, especially if you’re working not in the most digitised organisation.

Questions people ask
Is this actually free, or is it a funnel?
It is a funnel, and it is also actually free. I want you reading AI Bear every week, so I lead with the two guides that are the most useful thing I can give you. No credit card, no upsell hidden inside.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can copy, paste, and follow a numbered list, you can do everything in both guides. There is no code involved.
What will this cost me?
Nothing. The guides are free and so is the newsletter. The only cost is the time it takes to set things up once.
Why do I need to confirm my email?
It confirms the guides actually reach a real inbox you check, and it keeps spam signups off the list so deliverability stays good for everyone, including you.
What happens to my email and data?
It is used to send you the guides and the newsletter. I do not sell or pass your address on to anyone.
How often will I get emails from AI Bear?
Once a week. One practical breakdown of applied AI in traditional industries, no daily noise.
