AI Integration for Small Businesses
Most small businesses have someone spending 20 hours a week on email, scheduling, data entry, and follow-ups. That's $30-60K a year in labor on work that doesn't require judgment. It just requires showing up and doing the same thing again.
AI can handle that now. Not in theory. In practice, today, with tools that exist. The problem is knowing which parts to automate and building it so it actually works with how your team operates. That's what I do.
Why me
I'm not selling you a product I read about. I run my own business this way. I have an AI agent on a Mac mini in my house that handles my email triage, calendar management, receipt tracking, code monitoring, and smart home. It texts me on iMessage like a coworker. I built it, I maintain it, I live with it every day.
That means when I walk into your business, I'm not guessing at what's possible. I already know what works, what breaks, and where the real time savings are.
How it works
It starts with a 30-minute strategy call. $50. You tell me what's eating your time and I tell you honestly whether AI can help. Most people walk away with clarity either way.
If we move forward, week one is the audit. I map your workflows, watch how your team actually works, and identify 3-5 automation opportunities ranked by impact. You get a written report with specific recommendations and expected time savings.
Weeks two through four are implementation. I build the automations, integrate them with your existing tools, test everything, and train your team. No new platforms to learn. No complicated dashboards. It works inside the software you already use.
At handoff you get working systems and short documentation so your team can manage day-to-day without me. If you want ongoing support, I offer a retainer for monitoring, adjustments, and new automations as your needs change.
Who this is for
Local businesses with 5 to 50 employees. Law firms, medical practices, real estate offices, marketing agencies, accounting firms. The common thread: you're spending $60-150K a year on admin labor and some meaningful percentage of that work follows a pattern a machine could handle.
If your team spends time copying data between systems, sending the same emails over and over, or manually scheduling anything, there's probably $20-50K in labor you can reallocate to work that actually needs a person.
Pricing
The audit alone is $5,000. You get the workflow map, the automation opportunities, and the written recommendations. Some clients take that and implement internally.
Audit plus implementation runs $10-15K depending on complexity. That covers everything through handoff: the build, the integrations, testing, training, and documentation.
Optional retainer for ongoing support is $1-2K per month. Most clients start without it and add it after a few months when they want new automations built.
