Ashley Leeds is the 15-minute guy — teaching people to be bold and brave on LinkedIn and build a real business from it in just 15 minutes a day.

His session at the Zenler AI Summit 2026 was a direct screen-share walkthrough of the custom ChatGPT tools he's built over the past couple of years. Specific systems that handle real operational work in his business every week.

No frameworks. No philosophy. Just: here are the tools, here's exactly what they do, here's how I use them.

And one piece of advice about AI and content creation that's worth more than most of what gets said on the subject.

The Mindset Behind Everything

Ashley has one question he asks every time he's doing a repetitive task: could ChatGPT do this for me?

Applied consistently, that question has produced a growing suite of custom GPTs — each built around a specific operational need, each doing exactly that job and nothing else.

The Podcast System

Ashley runs a LinkedIn podcast and has built a four-stage AI workflow that takes a guest from initial inquiry through to post-show follow-up — the same process every time, without reinventing anything.

He named each stage and explained what it produces. The full workflow — what each GPT generates and how it connects to the next stage — is in the replay. If you run a podcast or plan to, this alone is worth watching.

LinkedIn Image SEO

Every image you post online has a file name and an option to add alt text. Most people post photos with whatever random string of numbers the camera assigned and no alt text at all. Both are missed SEO opportunities.

Ashley built a custom GPT specifically for this — give it a photo and context, get back an optimised file name and properly formatted alt text. He showed it working live. Small habit. Adds up across dozens of posts.

Client Onboarding

Ashley has to enter new clients into two different systems — his CRM and his bookkeeping software — with some of the same data in different formats for each. He built a custom GPT that takes the client information and generates two correctly formatted CSV files, one for each system. Import, done.

The operational thinking behind it is as useful as the tool itself.

The Boom Board

Ashley's most unusual custom GPT — and one of the most memorable moments of the session.

He created it by loading information and frameworks from experts and thinkers he follows and trusts. He uses it when he needs a second opinion, a coaching perspective, or help making a decision.

He demonstrated it live with a real question — and the output came back with multiple expert perspectives, a TLDR summary and a button that drafted a follow-up email and opened it directly in Gmail.

The full demonstration is in the replay.

The One Thing He Said About AI and Content

Ashley has been a LinkedIn content creator for years. He's built a genuine personal brand through consistent, authentic output.

When he gave his view on whether you should use AI to write your content, it was direct and clear.

It's in the full session. Worth hearing from someone who has actually built what he's built rather than from someone theorising about it.
