We begin with the tools you already use. You own everything we build. No monthly retainer required.
Is this AI consulting right for your small business?
This service is designed for Pittsburgh-area owner-operators, independent professional practices, home-service businesses, and small teams of one to ten people.
It may be a good fit if:
- Repetitive administrative work is taking time away from customers, clients, or billable work.
- Your business needs clearer, more consistent follow-up and customer communication.
- You want AI platforms and search engines to better understand what your business does, where it operates, and why customers trust it.
- You can access your website, business profiles, reviews, and the tools involved in your daily work.
- You want practical systems your business can own and manage without depending on an agency.

Enter a few figures you already know. The result is an illustrative range, not a forecast and not a valuation of your business.
Most of the pile is not strategy. It is routing, follow-up, and the same reply written again.

Diagnose
We find where the business is losing time today: work that waits on the owner, follow-up that dies in one inbox, decisions that still live in one person's head. We also note what AI assistants can currently verify. Time lost comes first.
Build
We build the pages, prompts, and workflows in your own accounts and tools.
Validate
We test the work against a real week of tasks — and against the questions AI assistants actually ask.
Hand off
You own what we build: files, prompts, and documentation. No monthly retainer required.
Common questions
Questions people ask before getting started
I sit across the table from you, figure out where your time is being wasted or your decisions are being slowed down, and build a practical AI system you can actually use starting this week. I'm not a software vendor. I'm an advisor who works in person.
No. I'm an advisor, not a development shop. I figure out what you need, design the system, and help you set it up on your actual accounts. If you need someone to build custom software after that, I'll tell you who to call.
A workshop teaches concepts to a room of people. I work with you specifically — your workflow, your accounts, your actual constraints. You leave with something working, not a slide deck.
A managed service continues operating some or all of the system for an ongoing fee. My engagements are defined projects: diagnose, implement the agreed priority layer, validate it, and transfer ownership. No required monthly retainer.
No. My clients are realtors and small business owners, not developers. You drive the clicks; I direct the work. No technical background required or expected.
The 15-minute assessment is free. The Personal AI Jumpstart is $75. From there, engagements are scoped and priced based on your situation. I'll give you a clear number before any commitment.
My focus is in-person work in the Greater Pittsburgh area — South Hills, Mt. Lebanon, Canonsburg, Bridgeville, and surrounding communities. That's intentional: the advisory work I do is hands-on, on your own accounts and tools.
No. It is an illustrative range from the numbers you enter and published bands in the site data file. It is not a valuation and not a promise. Paid work stays fixed-scope. You own what we build. No monthly retainer required.
