Friday 11 September · with your summit host, Ruth Poundwhite
Learning about AI was never the point. Changing how your business feels was. So we'll spend the last day working out what that actually looks like for you.
Most digital offers hand people information and hope they do something with it. I'll open up the interactive tools I've built into my own offers, the ones buyers actually click and use, and what changes when a customer gets something that does the work alongside them. You'll see how I decide what's worth building, what I'd build for an offer like yours, and why this is the part a free chatbot can't give your buyers.
Handing the real work to AI is the easy part to say and the hard part to do, because the fear isn't about the work. It's about losing your voice, your values, or your grip on the thing. So this session is about where your line sits. Bring the task you keep meaning to delegate and haven't, and we'll sort it into what AI can genuinely run, what needs you in the loop, and what should never leave your hands.

Your host
I'm not a tech person and I never set out to become one.
Hi, I'm Ruth, a business coach, author of Quietly Ambitious, and host of the Soulful Sales Show podcast. This will be my 7th summit, so I know what I'm doing.
I'm also neurodivergent, a massive introvert, and someone who has been running an online business through fatigue and fluctuating capacity since 2008. AI is how I keep things moving on the weeks I can't, with tools built on my brand, my voice & my values.
I brought 15+ years of business and marketing knowledge to AI, and that's what makes these workflows useful rather than generic.
I also think a lot about what it means for AI to feel genuinely human, not as a box to tick, but because I think that's what makes it work for you and for the people you serve. That's the conversation this summit is built around.
8th – 11th September 2026. Presentations on the 8th, 9th and 10th, then a live implementation day with Ruth on the 11th.
I don't know about you, but I prefer to leave my house as little as possible! The good news is the summit is hosted all online.
Valuable and actionable without the overwhelm, most are 15–20 minutes. Each presentation or live replay is free for 48 hours only, to encourage you to stop waiting for the right time and take action alongside hundreds of other online offer creators.
Three live panels, one per theme, plus five bonus live sessions from our featured speakers and several live sessions from me. All free with your ticket, and all recorded so nothing is lost.
Hosted on Skool, where the presentations live in the classroom and the community sits alongside – so you can connect with likeminded humans before the summit even starts.
After registering you can access premium upgrades for ongoing access to presentations, plus the AI Power Pack – a bundle of workshops, templates and courses from our speakers.
As an attendee you'll have the chance to win prizes based on engagement, BINGO and giveaways.
On the final day, one lucky (and engaged) attendee will be selected to win a full scholarship to the Aligned AI Lab.
I didn't expect to feel so seen.
The thing I hear most
The summit demystified AI for me.
Past attendeeAt the start of the summit, I was on a fence, not sure if it even aligns with my values, but now I'm starting to see how I can put AI to work for me to prevent burnout and overwhelm.
Past attendeeThis summit has shown me that I can work from a place of service in a human-centered and authentic way that is true to who I am.
Charnae SandersThis summit isn't about scaling as fast as possible. It's not about hustle, perfection, or productivity-for-productivity's-sake.
It's about using AI as a tool for more humanity, not less. More support. More space. More alignment.
You get to redefine success on your own terms, and use AI to help you get there.
No. Some sessions are for total beginners and some go deeper, so you can pick what fits where you are. Nobody here is going to make you feel behind.
8th – 11th September 2026. Presentations go live each day, and each presentation or live replay stays free for 48 hours.
Yes. This is built for heart-led online offer creators – courses, coaching, memberships, digital products, services. If you sell your own offers online, it's for you.
Any stage. If you're just starting out, you'll get a foundation that doesn't rely on hustle. If you're more established, you'll find ways to make your business more sustainable and more aligned with how you actually want to work. Wherever you are, you'll leave with permission to do business in a way that fits you.
The presentations are pre-recorded so you can watch when it suits you. They're released at 12pm UK / 7am Eastern each day. There's plenty happening live too: three live panels, five bonus live sessions from our featured speakers, and several live sessions from me. All of them are recorded for anyone who can't make it.
Each presentation or live replay is free for 48 hours. If you want to keep them, the AI Power Pack gives you ongoing access to every presentation, plus a private podcast feed and a bundle of workshops, templates and courses from our speakers.
Yes. Every presentation has closed captions and a full transcript, so you can read instead of watch, or skim for the bits you need.
Yes, and please don't try to watch everything. Pick a handful that speak to you. Even one new idea that moves your business forward makes this a good summit in my book.
No. I never share the attendee list. You'll only hear from a speaker if you choose to sign up for something of theirs.
Email team@ruthpoundwhite.com and we'll get back to you within 1–2 business days.
For heart-led online offer creators who want AI that fits the way they work, the way they sell, and the way they want their business to feel.
