ai consulting and automation
AI consulting and automation for small businesses.
AI consulting for small businesses finds the work AI can take off your team's plate, and AI automation builds it into the tools you already use.
I do both. We map the work on a free 30-minute call, you get a fixed quote, and the first automation goes live in 2 to 4 weeks. Then I keep it running. It works in any industry, and it can start from the list your team writes at one of my trainings.
What's included
Four parts, and it ends with something running.
- 01
Map the work
We find where the manual work and the delays live, then rank them by what pays back first. You get the map in writing.
- 02
Build it to fit how you work
Each automation is built for your business, inside the tools you already run: your inbox, calendar, CRM, and forms.
- 03
Test it and keep it running
You watch it run for two weeks before it touches anything client-facing. After launch I monitor it, and if a step fails, I fix it.
- 04
Show your team how it works
The people who use it get a walkthrough and plain rules for what AI should and should not touch. For more than that, there are the trainings.
Where automation fits
The same kinds of work show up in every business.
Automation starts with a job your team already does every week. These are the six places I look first.
How I pick what goes first
- 1It happens every week.
- 2It costs you time, leads, or money when it slips.
- 3The steps can be written down.
- 01
Leads and follow-up
New inquiries get a fast reply. Quotes, proposals, and leads that go quiet get a timely nudge.

- 02
Calls and messages
Calls, texts, and chat messages get answered in minutes, in your voice, day or night. So do the common questions.

- 03
Booking and reminders
Appointments get booked, confirmed, and reminded. When plans change, rebooking is easy.

- 04
Paperwork and documents
Invoices, forms, emails, and intake details get read and filed in the right place, so nobody types them in twice.
- 05
Reports
Weekly numbers, call notes, and meeting recaps get written up, ready for you to review and send.
- 06
Content
Drafts of posts, emails, and ads get written from your own notes and checked against your rules before anyone sees them.

Any industry. I have built for more than ten so far, from plumbing to restaurants to marketing agencies. If yours isn't here, the call will tell us fast.

How it works
From the first call to an automation that runs.
- 01
A 30-minute call
We look at where work falls through. If your team did a training, we start from their list.
- 02
Map
I map the work and rank what pays back first. You keep the map either way.
- 03
Fixed quote
One price for the build, before any work starts. There is no hourly meter.
- 04
Build
Built in the tools you already use. Most automations go live in 2 to 4 weeks.
- 05
Support
I monitor it and fix what breaks. Then we decide together what to build next.
What you can expect
- You work with me, not an account manager.
- A short update every week while I build.
- Built on your stack. Your logins, your accounts.
- It runs inside your own accounts. If we part ways, it stays yours.
Want your team to use AI on its own work too? Each training is set up for your industry, and another team can book one on a different use case.
See the trainingsWhat it costs
How pricing works.
Every business is different, so every project gets a fixed quote after the call, before any work starts. You pay for the build, and after that there is an optional monthly plan to keep it running and add to it. There is no hourly meter.
The cheapest way to start is one automation that pays for itself, then the next one. You never have to buy a big program to find out if this works for you.
What changes the price
- How many workflows you want built at once.
- How many of your tools have to talk to each other.
- How clean and complete your data is today.
- Whether your team needs training to use what gets built.
Every build comes with a performance guarantee. I walk you through how it works on the call.
Questions
What owners ask about AI consulting and automation.
What does an AI consultant do for a small business?
An AI consultant finds where AI fits in how your business runs, then helps you put it there. In my case that means mapping where time and leads leak, building the first automation inside your own tools, and running it so it keeps working.
Do you work in my industry?
Most likely. I have built for more than ten industries, from plumbing and barbershops to restaurants and marketing agencies. The work that slips repeats from one business to the next: slow follow-up, missed calls, and admin done at night. The call will tell us fast.
How much does it cost to hire an AI consultant?
It depends on how many workflows and tools are involved, so I give a fixed quote after the free call, before any work starts. You pay for the build, then an optional monthly plan to keep it running. There is no hourly billing.
What AI consulting services are available for small businesses?
Most fall into four kinds: strategy (where AI fits and in what order), implementation (building the systems), training (teaching your team to use the tools), and ongoing support. Some firms only do one. I do all four, and I build every automation myself.
Do we need a training first?
No. Many owners start with one automation. A training helps when your team will use AI every day, or when you aren't sure yet what to automate.
How can I automate my business using AI?
Start with one leak. Pick the place where work falls through most often, such as slow replies to new leads or a manual onboarding checklist, and build one automation for it. The workflow library shows what those builds look like.
How long does it take to see results?
A speed-to-lead system can be live in 7 days. Most other automations go live in 2 to 4 weeks. You see each one run for two weeks before it touches anything client-facing.
Do I have to change my software?
No. Every automation is built on the tools you already run: your inbox, calendar, CRM, and booking link. It runs inside your own accounts, so if we stop working together, it keeps running and it stays yours.
AI consultant or AI automation agency?
A consultant tells you what to do. An agency builds what you ask for. Most small businesses need both: someone to find where AI fits, and someone to build it. I do both, as one person, so the one who built it is the one who answers when something breaks. An agency gives you more hands, and usually a salesperson and a project manager between you and the builder.
What should I ask before I hire an AI automation consultant?
Ask who owns the system if you part ways. The right answer is you, because it runs inside your own accounts. Ask what happens when a step fails at 2am, and listen for a named person and an alert. Ask whether you can watch it run before it touches customers, and which of your tools it will live in. If the answer starts with a new platform you have to buy, be careful.
When do you not need an AI consultant?
When a process isn't written down or done the same way twice, fix that first, because AI speeds up a messy process and keeps it messy. If you only want your team to learn one tool, a free course or a training will do. If all you want is a chat widget on your site, a plug-in costs less.
