Practical AI consulting for small businesses — no hype, no jargon, no vendor agendas. I find the genuine automation opportunities in your business and tell you exactly what to build, why, and in what order. This comes from someone who has actually built it.
An honest note: Most AI consulting sits at one of two extremes — strategy decks with no implementation path, or developers who build things without understanding your business. I sit in the middle. I have 20 years of business and marketing experience across industries, and I've personally built autonomous trading bots, automated content pipelines, and passive income sites from scratch. When I tell you what AI can realistically do for your business, I'm drawing on real builds — not certifications or courses.
The opportunity is real. But most business owners either don't know where to start or get pointed toward the wrong tools.
Start with an audit. Add ongoing strategy. Build it out if you want. Or take the roadmap and run with it yourself.
A focused deep dive into your business — workflows, team time, tools in use, and current processes. I identify your top automation opportunities, rank them by effort vs impact, and deliver a prioritized written action plan. You walk away knowing exactly what to build and in what order — without having to figure any of it out yourself.
Ongoing strategic guidance as you implement AI across your business. Regular calls, tool evaluation, implementation QA, and a second brain as you navigate a space that's changing fast. Best for owners who are executing the builds themselves but want expert input along the way.
We audit first, then I build the systems. Full service — from identifying the opportunity to handing you a working automation that runs without ongoing input. Starts with the AI audit and flows into the Custom Tools service for implementation.
I work best with owners and operators who are serious about building real systems — not just experimenting with ChatGPT for a week.
Agencies, consultancies, and service providers spending too much time on repeatable work — reporting, client communication, research, scheduling. These processes automate well and the time savings are immediate.
Store owners buried in manual tasks — product descriptions, customer service responses, inventory monitoring, social content. AI typically cuts several hours per week out of operations like these.
Newsletters, blogs, YouTube channels, podcasts — content businesses that need systems for research, drafting, repurposing, and distribution without burning out the team or the owner.
30 minutes to understand your business, your team, and where you feel the most friction. No charge, no obligation — I want to make sure an audit is the right fit before we proceed.
A structured 2-hour session walking through your processes, tools, team time, and pain points. I ask a lot of questions. The goal is to map what actually happens day-to-day — not what's on paper.
I analyze the gaps, match them to realistic AI solutions, and rank them by effort vs impact. You get a written report with a prioritized action plan — not a list of tools to go figure out on your own.
A walkthrough of the findings together. We discuss what to tackle first, what to defer, and whether it makes sense for me to build any of it or hand it off to your team.
What small business owners typically ask before starting an AI automation engagement.
An AI consultant identifies the repetitive, manual tasks in your business that can be automated — then builds the systems to replace them. This could mean automating customer follow-up, building reporting pipelines, creating content workflows, or connecting tools that don't talk to each other.
No. A good AI consultant translates your business problems into technical solutions and handles the build. You describe what's taking too much time or costing too much money — they figure out what to build and how.
It varies by scope. Simple automations can be built in a few hours. Complex multi-system workflows take longer. Most small business AI consulting engagements are project-based with a defined deliverable — you know the cost before work begins.
The right tools depend on the problem. Common options include n8n for workflow automation, Claude API for AI-powered tasks, Python for custom scripts, and integrations with tools you already use like Google Workspace, Shopify, or your CRM.
