AI Consultant · Seattle, WA

AI consulting for Seattle small businesses — practical picks, no cloud-vendor cheerleading.

You already live next door to the biggest AI companies in the world. What you need is someone independent who will tell you which of their tools you actually need — and which to skip.

Serving Ballard, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union, Fremont and the rest of the Seattle, WA metro on Pacific Time.

Why Seattle owners hire us

Seattle owners get pitched AI constantly, often by people who work for the vendors doing the pitching. Pleasant Oak Solutions is independent. We recommend OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Copilot, Google, or a smaller niche tool purely on fit — and we will happily tell you when a $0 workflow beats the $99/mo subscription your neighbor just signed up for.

Vendor-neutral in a vendor town

We don't resell Copilot, Azure, or AWS Bedrock. We'll recommend them when they win — and swap them out when they don't.

Rain-friendly async delivery

Reports and Looms so you can read on the bus, at the coffee shop, or from the boat. No mandatory calendar dance.

Tech-fluent, plain-English

You can hand our report to a developer or to your front-desk manager and both will understand what to do next.
