Maybe you've experimented, but it feels robotic, watered down, or out of integrity with your values.
Maybe you're seeing others create whole systems with AI, and can't shake the feeling you're already behind.
Maybe you're using AI daily but want to go deeper in a way that really fits how you work.
The Aligned AI Summit will help you turn AI into a support system that fits the way you work, the way you sell, and the way you want your business to feel.
…use AI in ways that keep your business unmistakably you, rooted in your personality to boost human connection
…feel more confident using AI as a support system that works even while you rest
…turn AI overwhelm into clarity, making work easier without adding more to your plate
…see how sensitive, soulful creators are using AI to grow without losing their voice, values, or connection
…stand out with AI-powered content & systems that escape the sameness and amplify your uniqueness
You don't have to “AI” like everyone else. This summit is here to help you do it differently.
You'll hear from 30+ course creators, coaches, educators and business owners using AI in quietly revolutionary ways – on their own terms.

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.
A guided journaling session to reconnect you with what makes you unmistakably you — the bit no tool can generate.
A live show-and-tell of the interactive artifacts I've built to upgrade my own offers, and how I'd approach yours.
A live Q&A on giving more of your marketing and sales to AI without giving away your voice. Bring the thing you're stuck on.
Included with your free ticket · replays are exclusive to the AI Power Pack
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.
