AI can do a lot.I help you figure out what it should do for you.

Metanola Private is one-on-one AI advisory for busy, accomplished people. You bring how you actually work and live. I build a personal AI system around it: work smarter, plan better, research faster, stay organized, and get real time back.

No jargon · No coding · No endless list of AI tools

A01 The idea

You do not need tobecome an AI expert.

You tell me how you work and live: the calendar, the inbox, the projects, the travel, the board seats, the interests, the decisions that repeat. I find where AI honestly helps, set it up with you on your own accounts, and teach you the few things worth knowing. Most people need two or three tools and a handful of workflows built around their actual life. Choosing those well is the entire job, and it is mine.

B02 In practice

The work is your life,organized.

A sample of what gets built, drawn from real requests. Yours will look like you, because it is built from your days rather than a product sheet.

Built one person at a time

The morning brief

Your schedule, priorities, open loops, and the news you actually follow, ready before the first meeting.

Meetings, prepared

Walk in with a one page dossier: who is in the room, the history, and the three questions worth asking.

Travel, handled

A complicated trip researched, compared, and turned into a real itinerary in one sitting.

Reading, compressed

The fifty page report becomes the two pages you needed, with the claims worth checking flagged.

A private second brain

Your documents, notes, and history made searchable, so answers arrive with your context attached.

The things you love

Genealogy, collecting, cooking, a nonprofit board, a language you keep postponing. Whatever you are into, built in.

C03 Three levels

Start with a session.Keep a guide as long as it helps.

01
Start here

Personal AI Blueprint

Ask about a Blueprint

A private working session on how you actually operate. We walk your week, your tools, and your frustrations, and you leave with a personal AI opportunity map: the tools worth having, the workflows worth building, privacy settings that match your comfort, and a thirty day plan. Useful on its own, even if we never speak again.

02
The real shift

Personal AI Buildout

Ask about the Buildout

The Blueprint, built. Over a few weeks I set up your assistants, projects, instructions, knowledge, and daily workflows with you, on your own devices, until they run without you thinking about them. The outcome is not that you learned a tool. It is that your AI system exists, and it fits.

03
Keep a guide close

AI Concierge

Ask about the Concierge

The standing relationship. You send me the complicated trip, the new board role, the fifty page report, the tool somebody swears by. I handle it, keep your system current while AI keeps changing, and stay the one person you call about any of it.

Every engagement is scoped privately, in conversation, and you will know exactly what it includes before you commit. And if AI is not the answer to something, I will say so. That is the point of having a private advisor instead of a sales channel.

D04 Privacy

Private means private.

The first question most people ask is the right one: what happens to my information? So it comes first here too. Your tools get configured with the privacy settings they should have shipped with, sensitive material stays out of the wrong places, and you get a plain explanation of what each tool does with what you give it, before you give it anything.

This is deliberately not a course, a webinar, or a group program. It is one advisor who knows your setup, builds inside your own accounts instead of moving your life onto someone else's platform, and treats discretion as part of the product. What we discuss stays between us. What gets built belongs to you: your accounts, your data, your system, whether or not we keep working together.

Built for people whose time is worth more than the learning curve.

Who Metanola Private is for
  • Executives and owners who keep hearing about AI and want it handled
  • Board members and advisors drowning in reading
  • Accomplished retirees with full calendars and real interests
  • Busy professionals who want the system without the study hall
  • And by referral, the families behind all of the above

E05 How it starts

Most people arrive by introduction.

An attorney, a wealth advisor, a friend who had their system built and cannot stop mentioning it. If that is how you found this page, welcome. If not, an email works exactly the same way. Two or three sentences about your week is a perfect start.

adam@metanola.ai

Have a room that should see it first? AI for Your Actual Life is a private hour for ten to twenty guests: how I plan a trip, prep a meeting, digest a long report, and run a morning brief, shown live. Anyone who wants their own version afterward gets it built around their life instead of mine.

Where

New Orleans based. Working nationally by video, and in person by arrangement.

Who

Adam Wood, the advisor behind Metanola. Enterprise transformation at Adobe before this, independent now.

Response

I read every note personally and reply within two business days. No list, no sequence, and nobody else sees it.
