What this is.
What does AI Accelerate actually do?
AI Accelerate identifies the repeatable work in your business and replaces it with AI agents you own. It runs on the A.C.E. Method: Assess the weekly load, Create the agents that carry it, Elevate the rhythm so the time stays reclaimed. It is installation, not a course.
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a task you have described once, clearly enough that software can carry it out repeatedly without you. It is closer to briefing a new hire than to writing code — you explain the job, the inputs and what good looks like, and it runs.
What is the A.C.E. Method?
A.C.E. stands for Assess, Create, Elevate. Assessment maps the weekly load and ranks tasks by how repeatable they are. Create builds the agents that carry the top-ranked work. Elevate installs the checks that stop the work growing back. The order matters more than the tools.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Agents are described in plain language and built on tools you already pay for. If you can explain a task well enough for a new assistant to do it, you can brief an agent.
When I build my agents, should I get rid of my VA?
No — and it should not. The agents and AI Content Studio were built so your VA spends less time on repeatable tasks, not so you stop needing one. The point is to repurpose that time toward work that actually drives your bottom line. The same philosophy goes for your entire human team: hand the repeatable work to the agents, and put the people on what only people can move. In practice, removing that work is what makes a small team affordable to keep and worth hiring into.
How is this different from an AI course?
A course teaches you about AI and leaves implementation to you. AI Accelerate starts from your actual weekly workload and produces working agents. The learning happens as a side effect of building, not as homework before you are allowed to start.
Telling the offers apart.
Which AI Accelerate offer is right for me?
If you have never automated anything, start with a free guide. If you own a business with 2 to 50 staff and want a specific plan, the $997 Handover Assessment. If content is the bottleneck, AI Content Studio. If you want it built rather than mapped, done-for-you implementation. If you are solo and building on the side, the free guides and the $27 planner.
Where should I start?
Start free, and start with the 10 AI Agents guide either way — it names work you are already paying for, or would have to hire for. If you own a business with staff, follow it with the 2-Week Vacation Test. Both cost nothing and take under ten minutes.
What is the difference between the Vacation Test and the Handover Assessment?
The Vacation Test is free and tells you how dependent the business is on you, as a score and a band. The Handover Assessment costs $997 and tells you what specifically to do about it — which one to three agents to build, with which tools, in what order. The test diagnoses; the assessment prescribes.
What is the difference between the Handover Assessment and done-for-you implementation?
The Handover Assessment is a $997 assessment plus a strategy call — you build from it. Implementation is quoted per engagement and the agents are built, connected and running for you. The assessment is the map; implementation is someone driving — and every build starts with the assessment, its $997 credited in full against the build price if you go ahead within 90 days.
Is this for established businesses or people still working a job?
Both, but not every product. The free guides and the $27 planner work either way. The $997 Handover Assessment needs a team of roughly 2 to 50 people, so it is not a fit for someone still solo.
What each thing actually is.
What is the 2-Week Vacation Test?
The 2-Week Vacation Test is a free diagnostic that scores whether your business could run for fourteen days without you. It places you in one of four bands and shows which parts of the business still depend on you personally. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
What is the Handover Assessment?
The Handover Assessment is a $997 custom diagnostic. You do a 20-minute interview with an AI voice agent, and you receive a written report naming the one to three highest-leverage AI agents for your business, the specific tools to use, and a step-by-step plan. It is delivered within 48 hours and includes a strategy call.
What is AI Content Studio?
AI Content Studio is a subscription tool that produces a full week of social content in one sitting, written in your voice and formatted per platform. Plans are $47, $79 and $197 per month, and there is a seven-day free trial. More than 30 business owners currently run their content through it.
What is 30 Days to a Business That Runs Without You?
It is an interactive 30-day planner. Each day gives you one guided action prompt, your progress saves automatically as you type, and each week ends with a reflection and review card. It costs $27 as a one-time payment with instant access.
What is The Fully Staffed Founder?
It is a course that builds eighteen AI agents alongside you, covering content, lead generation and operations, plus a prompt-builder tool. Rather than teaching AI in the abstract, each module ends with a working agent running in your business.
What does done-for-you implementation include?
The agents are built, connected and running in your business rather than described in a document. Scope typically spans content, lead generation and operations, and is agreed before anything starts.
Will AI agents actually replace a virtual assistant?
They replace the $30,000 of repeatable work — not the person doing it. Triage, follow-up, formatting, scheduling logic and reporting go to the agents. Judgement, relationships and exceptions stay with your assistant, who now has the time to do them properly.
What everything costs.
How much does everything cost?
The Vacation Test, the 10 AI Agents guide and Reclaim One Hour a Day are free. The 30-day interactive planner is $27 once. AI Content Studio is $47, $79 or $197 per month. The Handover Assessment is $997. Done-for-you implementation is quoted per engagement.
How much does implementation cost?
It is quoted per engagement rather than sold at a fixed price, because the work varies enormously with how many systems connect and what already exists. It is a high-ticket engagement. The discovery call establishes scope, and the quote follows from that.
Is AI Content Studio a subscription?
Yes, and it is the only one. Most of the range is one-time by design. Content Studio recurs because the work it replaces recurs weekly. Plans are $47, $79 and $197 per month with a seven-day free trial.
What is the guarantee?
Your first AI tool is running in your business within four days of your strategy call. If it is not, work continues at no extra cost until it is. Because the assessment is custom-built for one business, all sales are final.
What is your refund policy?
For the Handover Assessment, your first AI tool is running within four days of your strategy call or work continues at no extra cost until it is. Because each assessment is built for one specific business from one specific interview, all sales are final. Content Studio has a seven-day free trial so you can evaluate it before paying.
About AI Accelerate.
Who is Chaka Serrant?
Chaka Serrant is the founder of AI Accelerate, an AI consultant and technology strategist with 22 years in tech and AI consulting. She is a single mother of two who homeschools. She builds AI agent systems for small and mid-size businesses from Tampa, Florida. Read the full story.
Why did Chaka start AI Accelerate?
Because she is passionate about helping people navigate their business ideas. After countless projects mapping processes and implementing tools to make things run smarter and more efficiently, she wanted to blend two things into one: connecting a person’s vision to the action steps that get them there, and automating the systems underneath. The goal is that every business owner gets time freedom and financial freedom from their business — and that starts with removing the tasks AI can now do seamlessly.
Who is Maya?
Maya is an AI voice agent that conducts the 20-minute Handover Assessment interview. You call her directly, any time of day, with no scheduling. She asks about how your business actually runs, and the transcript becomes the raw material Chaka works from.
How do I contact AI Accelerate?
Email [email protected] for anything, or book a discovery call directly if you want to talk through a project. AI Accelerate is based in Tampa, Florida and works with clients across the United States remotely.
Do you work with businesses outside Florida?
Yes. AI Accelerate is based in Tampa but the work is remote — diagnostics run over a phone interview and builds happen inside the tools you already use.
