Here’s the Thing About AI

Everyone’s talking about it. Most people are using it for basic stuff, fixing grammar, writing emails, maybe generating some images.

Meanwhile, there’s a huge gap between what AI can do and what businesses are actually doing with it.

I’ve spent 30+ years in IT building and fixing systems. The kind of work where if it doesn’t work, people notice immediately. Now I’m applying that same practical approach to AI, not the flashy stuff, the stuff that actually saves time and moves the needle.

What I’m Good At

I use AI the way most people don’t. I create complex, multi-step business processes that normally take days or weeks:

• Research that would cost $10K+ from a consulting firm, done in hours
• Competitive intelligence gathering before negotiations or sales calls
• Finding market opportunities by analyzing what customers actually complain about
• Building automated workflows that integrate with existing systems
• Process documentation and optimization (the boring stuff that saves thousands of hours) and increases production

Why This Matters Now

Most businesses fall into one of two camps:

Camp 1: “We should probably do something with AI but we don’t know what.”

Camp 2: “We tried some AI tools and they didn’t really help.”

Both problems have the same root cause: nobody’s looking at the actual business problem first. They’re starting with the technology and trying to find a use for it.

I do it backwards. Tell me what’s eating up your time, costing you money, or keeping you up at night. Then I’ll figure out if AI can help. More importantly, how to make it actually work in your environment.

I’m currently having conversations with business owners and executives to understand what problems are actually worth solving.

No pitch, no sales pressure. Just a genuine conversation about what you’re dealing with and whether I can help.

If it makes sense to work together, great. If not, maybe I can point you in the right direction anyway.
