Direct help for businesses figuring out where AI fits, what to build, and how to do it well.
I'm Caden White, the founder of TakeBack. I help small businesses and solo pros add AI the right way, shaped around the work you already do.
I work hands-on with solo pros, businesses, agencies, and teams who want AI done well, without the runaround.
Some projects are simple. Some are one of a kind. I shape the work around yours. That might mean lots of people involved, custom tools to connect, an in-house team that needs guidance, or a big question no one has answered yet.
The same person does the work from first call to handoff.
I write code, build test versions, and ship working tools, not just slide decks. Every project ends with something you can use.
If a problem doesn't need consulting, or if AI isn't the answer, I'll say so on the first call. I'd rather lose the work than waste your money.
A plan that never ships is just talk. I lean toward clear next steps, working tools, and choices you can act on this quarter.
I take on only a few projects at a time, so each one gets real attention. If we're not a fit, I'll often know someone who is.
Most projects fall into one of these. Most are a mix.
Where does AI really fit in your business? What's worth automating, what isn't, and what to build versus buy? You get clear answers you can act on.
Picking the right AI models, setting it up the right way, and connecting it to the tools you already use. From small task automations to full multi-step systems.
Custom AI assistants and tools for teams with unusual workflows, their own data, or special setups.
An outside look at your current setup, your security, or how ready you are for AI. Handy before you pick a vendor, hire a team, or grow a test project.
Ongoing tech guidance for owners who want an expert set of eyes on big choices, hiring, and planning, without the cost of a full-time tech lead.
Training and setup for in-house teams picking up AI tools. The goal is habits your team keeps after I leave.
Owners and managers at small and mid-sized businesses who want to use AI well, not just because everyone else is.
Agencies whose clients are starting to ask about AI, and who want a tech partner to help plan or do the work.
In-house teams with a clear problem, the budget to fix it right, and the will to build something that lasts.
I'm not the right fit for: slow corporate buying, vague "AI transformation" with no real goal, or jobs that need a 20-person agency.
1. Free call (15 to 20 min). You tell me what you're trying to do. I tell you straight if I'm the right person, what the work would look like, and what it would roughly cost.
2. Clear plan. If we're a fit, I write it all up: what you'll get, how long it takes, and the price. A fixed price where it makes sense, hourly where it doesn't.
3. Hands-on work. Working sessions, written plans, code: whatever the job needs. Regular check-ins, no surprises.
4. Handoff and follow-up. You get what I build for you, with notes on how it works. I stay reachable for questions after. That's part of the deal, not an add-on.
A scripted example, not a real client, and not live AI.
