The Summer
Ascent Series
6 live clinics. 6 stages. The complete map for building an AI-powered business — taught live, this summer.
Free weekly clinics for SMB owners who are done guessing about AI and ready to climb.
// Why This Exists
Most businesses know AI matters.
Very few know where to start.
You've tried the tools. Heard the pitch. Maybe built something — but it's disconnected, inconsistent, and you're not sure if it's actually working.
The Ascent AI Lab clinics are our answer. Six clinics. Six stages. A clear, structured path from scattered AI experiments to a business that runs intelligently — explained live, with real examples and open Q&A every clinic.
// The Ascent AI Lab Clinics
Six Clinics. Six Stages.
One Complete System.
Each clinic includes a 10–15 minute teaching video, a worksheet or checklist, replay access, and a live Q&A / audit session. Registered attendees are added to our campaign, segmented by stage, and nurtured through the six-part system — reducing dependency on live attendance. Find your stage first: registration places you into the campaign and the clinic sequence.

// Who This Is For
Built for SMB Owners
Ready to Make the Climb
You run a service business — a team, real clients, actual revenue. You're not experimenting. You're trying to grow.
You've tried tools — maybe ChatGPT, maybe some automation. But nothing feels connected or strategic.
You don't need another app recommendation. You need a system — a clear sequence that actually builds on itself.
That's the ask. Show up for an hour, and we'll give you something genuinely worth your time every clinic.
// Your Guide
You're Not Learning From Theory.
You're Learning From the Climb.
Two years ago, Softwired was a marketing agency. We ran ads, built funnels, managed campaigns — and we were good at it. But something kept breaking: our clients were using AI tools that didn't connect, didn't scale, and didn't compound on each other.
So we made a decision. We stopped being a marketing agency and became an AI agency. The Ascent System was built from two years of real-world iteration — finding what works, what doesn't, and critically, what order it needs to happen in. The Ascent AI Lab clinics are that system, taught live.

Your Transformation Isn't.
