AI consulting for owner-run businesses · Based in St. Louis

Get your office out from under the emails, follow-ups and paperwork.

We set up AI on the software you already run, train your team on their real work, and keep a person in charge of anything that goes out. A clear lane to useful AI.

  • Free call
  • Fixed quote after
  • Nothing to rip out
The AI drafts. Your team checks it and decides what goes out.

The problem

You know AI matters. You don't have time to sort it out.

  • “My office is buried in emails, follow-ups and paperwork.”
  • “I tried ChatGPT once and didn't know what to do with it.”
  • “I don't want our customer data ending up somewhere.”

Sound like your shop? That's the work we do.

What we do

Three kinds of help, all sized for a small business.

Every project is small and fixed-price. Bigger than that, and we'll point you to someone better suited.

Team AI setup & training

Business accounts, the right permissions, and hands-on training around the work your team already does.

For: emails, proposals, meeting notes, recaps

Workflow automation

Take the repeat office work off people's plates. The AI drafts; your team reviews and sends.

For: follow-ups, status updates, summaries

Software integrations

Connect AI to the CRM, email and files you already pay for, so it works from your real records.

For: CRM notes, customer history, shared files

How it works

Four steps, one fixed price.

  1. Assess

    A free call, then a walk-through of how your office runs.

  2. Set up

    Business accounts, guardrails and connections to your tools.

  3. Train

    Hands-on, on your own emails and documents.

  4. Support

    A check-in after launch, and care plans if you want them.

What you get at each step, and the timeline

Guardrails

Your data stays yours. A person signs off.

These aren't extras. Every project starts here.

Business accounts, not personal ones

Company data stays in company accounts, with permissions that match who should see what.

A person approves what goes out

The AI drafts. Your team reads it, fixes it, and decides. Nothing leaves the building on autopilot.

You own everything we build

Accounts, prompts, cheat sheets and connections are yours, in your name. No lock-in.

Your data doesn't train the AI

We use business plans where your customer data isn't used to train general AI models.

Who it's for

Owner-run businesses with a busy office and no IT department.

If the owner still signs the checks and the office lead keeps everything moving, you're who we work with. Any industry.

Not a specialty. If your office runs on email, documents and a CRM, the same work applies.

What you actually get

Plain, useful paperwork your team will keep using.

Here's the kind of thing we hand over.

Sample

Training card · Office

Turn call notes into a customer follow-up

  1. Open the customer in your CRM and copy today's notes.
  2. Paste them into Claude with the prompt below.
  3. Read the draft. Fix anything that's wrong or missing.
  4. You send it. The AI never sends on its own.

“Write a short, friendly follow-up to the customer from these notes. List next steps and dates. Don't promise anything that isn't in the notes.”

OK to paste
  • Call notes
  • Next steps and dates
Never paste
  • Card or bank numbers
  • Passwords
One card per task, written for the person who does it. Taped to the monitor if that's what works.

Questions

What owners ask first.

Something else? Email us.

What does this cost?

Projects start at $2,500 for an AI Assistant setup with training. Assistant + CRM starts at $5,250, and a Full office rollout starts at $7,000. Something custom is scoped on the call. After a free 30-minute call you get a fixed quote, so the number doesn't move once we start. Care plans are optional.

How much of my team's time will this take?

Not much. Plan on about two hours from the owner and office lead up front, one hands-on training session for the people who'll use it, and a short check-in after launch. We do the setup work.

Is our customer data safe?

We set your team up on business accounts, not personal ones, with permissions that match who should see what. We pick plans where your data isn't used to train the AI. A person approves anything before it leaves the building.

Which tools do you work with?

Assistants like Claude, plus the software you already pay for: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. If you use something else, ask on the call. We'll tell you straight if it isn't a fit.

Do we need IT staff?

No. Most small businesses don't have any. We set it up, write it down in plain language, and stay reachable after launch. A care plan covers fixes and changes if you want ongoing help.

Will AI replace my staff?

That's not what we do. We make the people you already have faster and more consistent on the paperwork, so they spend more time on customers and the work itself.

What won't you do?

We don't build chatbots that talk to your customers on their own, we don't move you off the software you already run, and we don't take on projects too big for a small, accountable team. If yours is, we'll say so and point you to someone better suited.

Next step

Start with a 30-minute call.

Tell us where the office is stuck. We'll tell you plainly what AI can and can't help with, and send a fixed quote if it's a fit. No charge for the call.
