The problem
How coaching helps
You’ve tried AI, but the answers feel generic and you end up rewriting them.
You learn how to ask and what to tell it about you, so the answers fit your work.
You know AI could save you time, but you don’t know where to start or what to trust it with.
We decide together what to hand over and what to keep, using your real tasks.
An AI answer looked right, but turned out to be wrong, and you’re not sure how to spot it next time.
You learn to check AI’s work, so you can trust what you send or publish.
You worry about what’s safe to type in, especially when it involves your customers.
You learn exactly what to keep out, and how to work safely with test information.
Admin keeps eating your evenings, and hiring help isn’t an option yet.
You build saved instructions for your regular jobs, so they take less of your time.
You’re paying for an AI tool, but barely using what it can do.
You learn to get real value from the plan you already have.
Your competitors are using AI, and you feel like you’re falling behind.
You learn one-to-one, at your pace, with someone beside you.

What you get in four weeks
Coaching built on your real work
Every session starts from the tasks you do every week, so you can use what you learn straight away.
Straight answers on the risks
Privacy, data security, mistakes and made-up answers. We look at what can go wrong with AI, and how to protect yourself and your business.
Skills that work in any AI tool
What you learn carries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and whatever comes next, so it does not go out of date when a tool changes.
A cheat sheet from every session
Notes made for you to keep, so what we covered stays with you long after the session ends.
Meet Carita
I coach one person at a time, from Silves in the Algarve. I teach what I use, and I will tell you straight where AI falls short.
Four weeks of one-to-one AI coaching
Week by week
-
Week 1
Understand AI, and ask it well
How AI works in plain language, what it is good at and where it fails, and a reliable method for asking it for exactly what you want.
-
Week 2
Decide what to hand over, and save what works
Choose which tasks to give AI and which to keep. Write a short brief about you or your business, and save reusable instructions so AI starts from the right place every time.
-
Week 3
Handle bigger jobs, and check the results
Turn your own documents, emails and notes into finished work, judge what AI gives you, and know exactly what is safe to share.
-
Week 4
Build your toolkit, and go further
Put together your own saved instructions and a personal AI playbook, then choose a deeper topic for the rest of the session: Excel, your role or industry, or advanced features.
Every week is shaped around real tasks from your own day.
What is included
A set lesson each week
Each 2-hour session goes deep on one skill that takes practice to get right, such as how to give AI instructions it follows reliably, what context it needs from you, which work is safe to hand over, and how to protect your business information.
Your own examples
You bring real tasks from your day, and we tackle them live, side by side, so you see exactly how it is done.
A cheat sheet to keep
You leave every session with a guide written around what we practised, ready to use the next day.
Support between sessions
Between sessions, you get a short practice task, and you can send me one short written question each week.
Extra sessions when you want them
Specific topics after the four weeks are €45 an hour, excluding VAT where applicable.
In person or online
Sessions are in person near Silves, or online from anywhere, in English.
What you walk away with
- A cheat sheet from every session
- Your own personal AI playbook
- A clear plan for what to do next
- Saved instructions written for your own regular tasks
- Before-and-after timings for the jobs we worked on, so you can see the difference for yourself
What I can promise
I can't promise particular results, because they depend on the work you put in. What I can promise is clear teaching, honest answers and my full attention.
AI set up in your own accounts
I also build AI setups inside your own accounts, tailored to how you work and put together with you beside me. This is specialist work, so I quote for it once we have spoken.
How it works
A free call
A free call to pin down what you want AI to do for you and what has been stopping you. I will tell you straight whether coaching is the right fit.
You get a plan by email
I put together a plan shaped by our call: the topics we will cover, how they fit your work, and when each session happens, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.
Your sessions begin
In person near Silves, or online, once a week for four weeks.
A real person, not a platform.
I'm Carita, based in Silves in the Algarve. I coach one person at a time, so every session is built around the work you do and what you want to hand over.
I use AI every week in my own work. I teach what I use, and I will tell you straight where it falls short.
Before this
I spent more than 15 years in research, quality control and financial analysis, and over 3 years in environmental auditing. That work is all about checking details, questioning numbers and following a careful process, and I bring the same care to how I teach AI.
Your worries are welcome
Privacy, mistakes, made-up answers and what to keep out of AI tools. They are fair questions and we cover them properly.
You stay in charge
AI is something you direct. We practise keeping a person in the loop to check the work.
Any tool, not just one
The skills carry across AI tools, so you are not tied to a single product.
Why I do this
When I first started using ChatGPT a few years ago, I was so excited by what it could do. Looking back, those first things seem very simple now. AI is moving quickly, and you can learn something new every day just by trying things out.
The real reward comes when you take what you have learned and build something useful, even something small that takes a boring or time-consuming task off your plate. I would love to share what I know with you.
I believe AI levels the playing field for anyone willing to learn.
Built with AI, by me
Most people use AI to answer questions. I use it to build tools that solve real problems in my own life and work.
A custom tracking app
Built from scratch with AI to track a personal cycling goal, with weekly and monthly targets that adjust when I miss a day.
This website
Designed, written and built with AI, including the booking system.
A personalised planting calendar
Tailored to where I live and the food my family eats.
Custom children's books
Written for my son, around the topics he loves.
Who I work best with
I work with all kinds of people, but I especially enjoy helping small business owners who want a leg up with their marketing and can't yet afford to hire someone for it, and people who want to grow their business but feel unsure about their next step.
If you are ready to put in some focused work, I would love to help you get there.
What clients say
“I have had the pleasure of working with Carita for the past year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She has been fantastic in managing and creating my social media content. Extremely professional, punctual and proactive, she is always one step ahead, often anticipating what needs to be done before I even realise it myself. Her creativity and ideas have been absolutely spot on for my business, and she has brought so much value to my brand. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your business, takes initiative and goes above and beyond, Carita is the person to work with. She will truly help elevate your business!”
“Wow! The experience with Carita was an eye opener on how important good content can make for social media. We got so many people commenting on our unique photos, the creativity, designs and overall communication was top notch. You can feel the heart and passion involved in every post. Carita is highly recommended and we will continue to hire her and spread her talent. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, how you helped us tremendously. We want more success for you, you deserve it!”
“I used Carita to make me three online brochures of my three apartments for rent in Carvoeiro. Carita was absolutely a joy to work with, grasped immediately what I wanted and worked very efficiently and quickly to produce really high quality work. Not only that she has said that if I ever want to change a photograph she would do it with no charge attached. Truly a gem of a person to work with. Highly recommended. Wishing you luck in your new venture.”
Straight answers
Do I need to use a particular AI tool?
No. The coaching is about skills that work across AI tools: how to ask, how to give context, what to hand over and what to keep. If you already use one, we use that. If you are starting from scratch, I will help you choose.
Is it safe to use AI with my information?
It depends on what you put in and how you set things up. We cover what to keep out, how to check settings and how to keep a person checking the work. I never ask for your logins, and I don't need to see your customers' data.
Who is this for?
People who are serious about getting good at it and ready to practise between sessions. That might be a business owner, a manager, or someone who wants AI to help run their own life.
How long is each session, and how many are there?
Each session is 2 hours, once a week, for 4 weeks. That is 8 hours of one-to-one coaching for €360 in total, excluding VAT where applicable.
Where do the sessions happen?
Online from anywhere, or in person within about 20 km of Silves with no travel charge, which covers Portimão, Lagoa, Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra. Further away is possible with a travel fee that covers my time and costs, agreed before you book. Sessions are in English.
Can you help me with a website?
I don't build websites for clients, but I can show you how to use AI to build a website of your own, the same way I built this one. For anything bigger or more custom, I can pass the work to someone from my network of service providers I trust.
Do you give legal, tax or business advice?
No. I teach what AI can do, how to use it, what to avoid and how to set it up. Legal and tax questions are outside what I do, so please take those to a qualified professional.
Are you connected to Anthropic or any AI company?
No. I am an independent coach and not a partner, reseller or official trainer for any AI company.
