Tashi + Co Photography · Ballina
One afternoon at your desk. Three of the jobs you named, set up and running before I leave, and you taught how to build the next one yourself.
Everything on this page is what we talked about on Wednesday. The rest of the document is the detail.
I come to you for four hours, we work on your own computer, and we set up Claude (or ChatGPT, if you would rather stay where you are) so it knows your business, your brand and the tools you already use.
Three automations from your list, the three you pick, running on your own computer, plus the method for building the next one without me in the room.
$1,200 for the half day, with three follow up check ins after it. Quick questions by text are free.
Reply with your three picks, the tools you use day to day, and a week that suits. I book the day.
Your words, on the phone, Wednesday
You run the social media for three hospitality venues on your own, plus everything else that gets added to the list. The photography stays yours, and so does the feel of each venue. What comes off your plate is the admin around the content, the part that eats your Monday.
Every “can you also” that lands by text, email or in your head goes into one place, sorted, and a short rundown of what matters today is waiting when you sit down. Ideas stop dying in the Word doc, because the same place holds them and can pull them back out when you have the footage to match.
Point it at a folder from a shoot and it groups the photos by job, kicks out the blurry and badly lit frames, and hands you the strong set to edit. What took an evening becomes ten minutes. Once it works for one shoot it works for every shoot after it.
It learns your voice from your own posts and your own site, writes the first draft, and you fix the parts that are not you. You stay the editor, and the blank box stops being the slow part of every post.
Invoices drafted from your timesheet, timesheets built from your calendar, both waiting for a yes rather than an hour of your morning.
Four hours at your desk, on your own PC. Nothing to prepare except your logins.
What the tool is, the three surfaces inside it, and the one idea behind all of it, which is that a skill is a saved instruction it follows every time. Where the security lines sit and how you set them.
The three automations I built before I arrived go into your account and get connected to your email, your calendar, your files and whatever you schedule and invoice with.
We run each one on your real work and change what is not right. This is where “what if it does it wrong” gets answered, because you watch it, correct it, and it keeps the correction.
You build the fourth automation with me beside you, so the method is in your hands and not mine.
Your list from the phone, as I heard it. Three of these get built before I arrive, and you pick which. The rest you learn to build on the day.
Every job that lands, by text, email or a thought at 11pm, goes into one list sorted by venue and by when it is due. You add to it by talking to it. It never asks you to open a spreadsheet.
The Word doc is replaced by a place that remembers. Ideas go in as one line, tagged with the venue and the kind of post, and come back out when you have the footage to match.
Point it at the folder from a shoot. It groups the frames by job and setting, drops the blurry, dark and doubled up shots, and hands you the strong set in a named folder.
Describe the kind of post once and it produces a set of layouts in your colours and type that you open and finish in your own tools. Variety without a blank canvas.
It learns from your own captions and your site, then drafts each post in that voice, per venue. You edit, it remembers the edit.
Your timesheet is built from your calendar and notes, and the invoices are drafted from it, ready for you to check and send. The Monday hour becomes five minutes of approving.
The hardest one on the list. It learns a cut you like and rebuilds it with new clips, so the repeatable edits stop being hand work. Better suited to a full day.
Every one of the above depends on the tool being connected to your email, files and calendar. That is the first hour of the day, and it is the part you asked to learn.
Your work, from tashiandcophoto.com. None of it changes.
One price for the day, and two others so you can see where it sits. All prices are the full price. The proposal is made out to you. If you would like it addressed to one of the venues or a workplace, tell me the name and I will change it.
Four hours at your desk, three automations installed and tuned, one built with you, and three follow up check ins by phone or text in the month after. This is the one that answers the list you gave me.
The same shape over a whole day, with room for more of the list and the video editing work, which takes longer to get right than anything else on it.
A refresher, a new automation, or an hour on something that changed. One hour minimum. Quick questions by text stay free.
Why the half day: it covers the three things costing you the most time now, and it leaves you able to build the rest. Paying for a full day before you have used the tool for a month is paying for hours you may not need.
The only thing on your plate
Tell me the three from the list you want built first, the tools you use day to day (email, calendar, where your photos live, what you schedule and invoice with), and the weeks that work. I book the day, build the three to your tools, and turn up.
How this was made
Josh did not lay this out by hand. After our call he pasted the transcript into his assistant, which runs on Claude (the model is called Claude Fable 5.1) inside a tool called Claude Code on his iMac. It read the transcript and pulled out what you asked for, then wrote the call notes, the brief and every word here, which Josh read and corrected before it went anywhere.
To match your branding it sent a small browser robot to tashiandcophoto.com. The robot took screenshots of your pages, read the colours and fonts out of the code, downloaded your logo and 49 of your photographs, and wrote them into a one page brand kit. A second, smaller assistant (Claude Sonnet) built that kit page while the first one wrote the proposal, so the two ran at the same time.
Everything in it was checked by a person. The phone number, the price and the email are Josh's. The photographs, the logo and the colours are yours. This is the kind of thing the half day sets up for you.
