AI and automation services, with the prices up front
Four kinds of work, done one way: find the bottleneck, build the fix on your own accounts, and hand it back working. Every price is on this page.
Book a $500 Starting SessionAI consulting
Most small teams have a ChatGPT login and no process around it. We sit with the people doing the work, find the tasks where AI is reliable enough to trust, and set it up inside the tools you already pay for.
Quotes, replies and summaries get drafted for a person to approve. Details in emails, forms and PDFs land in the right record without anyone copying them across.
AI automation
Every small team has jobs that follow the same steps each time: retyping form entries, sending reminders, chasing payments, building the Friday report. Those are the first things we automate.
Where AI helps, it sorts, summarizes or drafts, and a person approves before anything goes out. Where a plain rule does the job, we use the rule.
CRM consulting
A CRM only helps if the team logs into it. We start with how a customer, member or client really moves from first contact to paid, then set up the CRM you already have to match.
When nothing off the shelf fits, we build one on your own domain and accounts, move your records in with their history, and connect the website form and invoicing so nothing gets retyped.
Spreadsheet consulting
Somewhere in most small organizations is a spreadsheet that has quietly become the system: a file called FINAL_v3 (2), a tab nobody touches, one person who understands the formulas.
Sometimes the right move is to fix three formulas. Sometimes it is to turn the file into a real database or web app, with every row moved in and the team using it.
What it costs
Every engagement starts with a Starting Session. Everything after it is quoted in writing before it starts.
-
Starting Session
For the bottleneck you would love to stop doing by hand.
90 minutes on a call. We fix or automate one piece of it live, then send a written plan within a week with the next move and its price. Credited toward anything larger within 30 days.
-
Build Day
For a team that has its plan and wants it built.
A full day building the first move from your plan, on your accounts, with your people watching.
$1,500
Usually follows a Starting Session
-
Rescue
For a system you pay for that nobody trusts.
We get the half-adopted tool working the way your team actually works, or move you off it cleanly with every record intact.
$4,500
Usually follows a Starting Session
-
Systems Build
For replacing the spreadsheets and the tool nobody logs into with one system.
Your system built, your records moved in, your team using it, running on your own domain and accounts, with AI where it earns its keep.
$12,000+
Usually follows a Starting Session
-
Care
For keeping it sharp after launch.
Fixes, small changes, new ideas and new automations as they become practical, from the people who built it, often live the same day.
$500/mo
Usually follows a Starting Session
What we build with
The tools you already pay for come first. When they cannot do the job, we build with:
- Cloudflare
- Supabase
- Make
- Twilio
- The Claude API
- The OpenAI API
- QuickBooks integrations
- Square integrations
Everything runs on your own domain and accounts, so it stays yours. When the fix includes the point-of-sale, the network or the devices in the building, we handle that as part of the build.
Questions
How much does an AI consultant cost for a small business?
Our prices are on this page. Every engagement starts with a $500 Starting Session: 90 minutes, one bottleneck fixed or automated live, and a written plan with the next move and its price. A Build Day is $1,500, a Rescue is $4,500, a Systems Build starts at $12,000, and Care is $500 a month. Everything after the first session is quoted in writing before it starts.
What does an AI consultant actually do for a small business?
Finds the work that eats your team's week, sets up AI and automation to handle it inside the tools you already use, and makes sure a person still checks anything that matters. With us, the job is finished when it is running, not when a report is delivered.
Do we need to be using AI already?
No. Most small teams start from a shared inbox and a spreadsheet, and that is a fine place to begin. AI goes in only where it saves real time, and only when you agree to it.
Do you replace our existing tools?
Only when they are the problem. We start with what you already pay for and get it working the way your team works. When a tool cannot do the job, the written plan says so and prices the alternative, with your records moved across.
Do you handle point-of-sale and hardware?
When the fix involves the point-of-sale, the network or the devices in the building, we handle that as part of the build. We do not take on hardware work on its own.
Where do you work?
Based in Davis, CA. On site across the Sacramento region, and we travel anywhere the work is. Sessions can also run on a video call.
