How Working Together Works

Consulting for custom AI work: strategy, builds, check-ups, and team training, all shaped around your project. It starts with one free call.

Consulting Projects

For strategy, custom builds, check-ups, advice, or team training.

01

Free Call

Free, 15 to 20 minutes. 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.

I'll cover:

  • What you're trying to do
  • Where AI fits (or doesn't)
  • Your limits: budget, timeline, who's involved
  • Whether we're a fit, and what comes next
If I'm not the right person, I'll often know someone who is.
02

Clear Plan

If we're a fit, I write it all up: what you'll get, how long it takes, and the price. Fixed price where it makes sense, hourly where it doesn't.

What you get:

  • Clear results: written plans, code, or working tools
  • An honest timeline with checkpoints
  • A price that fits the work
  • No surprise add-ons or creeping scope
If the plan doesn't fit your budget or timing, we reshape it, or part ways on good terms.
03

Hands-On Work

Working sessions, written plans, code: whatever the job needs. Regular check-ins, no surprises.

How it runs:

  • Hands-on building from day one
  • Working code or written plans you can act on
  • Weekly check-ins so you always know where things stand
  • Group calls when they help
I'd rather ship working tools than polish slides.
04

Handoff & 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.

What gets handed over:

  • All the code, settings, and files I build for you
  • Notes a new engineer could follow
  • 30-day follow-up window for questions
  • Ongoing advice later, if it makes sense
If something I built breaks in the first 30 days, I fix it, no charge.

You're Mid-Job. A Lead Texts. You Tap Twice.

The whole story, start to booked, with made-up prices.

Example: a helper I'd build for you
9:42 AM. You're under the hood.
Hey, how much for a full detail on a black SUV? Inside and out, it's pretty dirty.
The helper reads it: SUV · full detail, inside and out · pretty dirty
Sent after your OKHi! A full inside-and-out SUV detail runs three ways: Basic: $150 Full Detail (popular): $250 Ceramic + Full Detail: $425 With a heavier interior I'd go Full Detail. Want a slot this week?
Full detail sounds good. Thursday work?
Thursday at 1:30 PM is open on my end. Does that work?
Perfect, see you then.
✓ Booked: Thursday 1:30 PM · Full Detail (SUV) · added to the demo calendar
48-hour follow-up set in case the lead goes quiet

What's happening

  1. Step 1 A lead texts in. The helper reads it and pulls out the vehicle, the service, and the condition.
  2. Step 2 It builds a three-way quote from your own price list.
  3. Step 3 It shows you the draft first. A new reply like this one only goes out after you tap OK.
  4. Step 4 You tap approve. It finds two open slots, and you pick which one to offer.
  5. Step 5 Booked. A follow-up is set in case the lead goes quiet.

A scripted example with made-up prices, not a real client, and not live AI. Your build might book straight to your calendar, or just draft the replies. We decide together on the call.

Want one of these? I'll tell you straight if it's worth building. Free 15-minute call, no pitch →

What This Looks Like in Practice

Real examples of what custom AI can do for a small business, the kind of tools I build, shaped around how you actually work.

Draft Emails & Replies

"New Zillow lead. Mark, $400k range, 3 beds." A warm reply, written for you in seconds.

Organize Client Info

"Remember Sarah's color mix: 6N + 7G, 20vol, 35 min." Your client notes, pulled together and ready in a tap.

Sort New Messages

"New message. Wants a half-sleeve, Japanese style, upper arm." A clean summary with pricing and next steps, not lost in your inbox.

Handle Invoicing

"Jake's invoice is 2 weeks late." Polite reminders drafted for you to send, with a firmer follow-up ready when one's needed.

Write Social Captions

"Before/after post for today's ceramic coat on the black Tesla." A ready-to-post caption with hashtags.

Reminders That Bring Clients Back

Rebooking nudges, package-expiry alerts, and follow-ups, each one drafted and ready for whenever a client's due to come back.

Common Questions

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. You just type to it, like texting a friend who's good at their job. I handle all the tech behind it.

Which AI model does it use?

I use the best AI tools out there and pick the one that fits your needs and budget. And if you want extra separation, I can set up a dedicated workspace for your project, so your files and work are kept apart from anyone else's.

Is my data private?

Yes. For most consulting work, I'm not holding your data. If your project includes an assistant I run for you, it runs on its own machine, with its own storage: your client list, drafts, and a record of what was sent are kept there and are yours alone. I never sell your data, and for client work I use business-tier AI services set up so your data isn't used to train the provider's models. It's all in my privacy policy, and I'll walk you through how your data is handled before anything turns on.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general tool. It doesn't know your business, your clients, or how you work. I build you something custom: it fits your details, uses your voice, and I set it up for you so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Where does it send the messages?

It writes the drafts and drops them in a private Slack channel for you to review. Tap Approve, and it sends the message for you. Texts go out from a number set up for your business. By default nothing goes out until you approve it. For messages whose wording you've already signed off on, you can turn on auto-send, and you can still cancel any before it leaves. On our call we set up the review channel so it fits how you work.
