Common questions
How does AI consulting work for a small business?+
Free 15-minute intake → 48-hour written recommendation → optional done-for-you implementation and training.
What does an AI consultant cost for a small business?+
Intake is free. We quote a flat fee for the report and a separate flat fee for implementation — no hourly billing.
Are you tied to any specific AI vendor?+
No. We recommend whatever fits — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Zapier, Make, Notion AI, Jasper, ElevenLabs, or niche industry tools.
Can you help if we already pay for AI tools we are not using?+
Yes — a common engagement is auditing what you already pay for, cutting the dead weight, and training your team on what stays.
What areas do you service?+
We work remotely with small businesses all across the United States. Top markets: San Diego, Washington DC, Seattle, New York, Denver, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Nevada — but anywhere in the US works.
