Find out what AI could do in your business. Then I build it.
You don't need to know where it fits. That's what I figure out first. Then I build the one job that gives you the most time back.

Nothing to prepare, no deck. You get a one-page plan in writing, whether or not we work together.
If it doesn't save the hours I quote you, I keep working until it does.

The report that reads my meetings for me
EVERY MEETING> NOTHING MISSED
Twenty to forty minutes of every day used to go into reading back through meeting notes and emails, pulling out what I'd committed to, and typing it into my project board. Now it happens overnight. Every morning the list is waiting and the tasks are already in there. Being the person who does what he said he would, on time, is worth more to me than the half hour.

02 / Why it hasn't worked for you yet
Asking AI a question is not the same as putting it to work.
You have probably tried it. You type in a question, it gives you a good answer, and then you go and do the work yourself anyway. That is most people's entire experience of AI, and it is why it feels overrated.
That is not AI working for you. That is you working, with an extra step. The version that matters does the whole job on its own, every time, without you asking it to.
Almost everybody is stuck at the first one. Goldman Sachs surveyed more than a thousand small business owners this year. Three quarters said they use AI. One in seven had it actually running anything.

03 / What I'd do for you
First, the map
I look at how your week actually runs and come back with one written page: the jobs AI could do here, what each one is costing you now, and which is worth doing first. If nothing on that list is worth building, I will tell you that and you will have lost an hour.
You do not need to arrive with an idea. Most people have no idea where it would fit. When the Small Business Administration asked owners why they were not using AI, the most common answer by far was that they could not see how it applied to their business. Finding that out is the job, not your homework before we talk.
Then, the build
You pick one off the list. I build it.
- 01One job, built to run on whatever your business already uses
- 02Nothing new for your team to learn
- 03Written documentation of how it works
- 0430 days of fixes after handover
- 05You own it. No monthly fee, nothing that depends on me
- 06About two weeks, one flat price agreed before I start
some of what I build with
And plenty that isn't software at all. If the job lives in your head, on paper, or in a process nobody has written down, that counts too.
04 / Who you'd be working with

Greg Smith. I run a small business here in Charleston, same as you.
About eighteen months ago I started using AI in my own company. Not as an experiment. I was buried, and I needed the help. Within three months I was getting through roughly the work of four people, and I have used it every day since.
That is where I learned what it really is. It is a magnifier. It does not replace judgment and it does not replace the people who carry your business. What it does is take the repetitive work off them and hand back the hours. I know where it works, I know where it falls apart, and I will tell you the difference honestly.
I ran operations in manufacturing and logistics for eight years before real estate development brought me here, so I have built the reports, chased the paperwork, and done the Sunday night version of all of it myself. The systems I build for other people are the ones I built for my own company first, on my own money.
I like this work. I am an owner helping other owners get out from under the same pile.
When the build is done, I don't vanish. Most people come back a few months later with a question, or a new job they want me to look at. You are not on a retainer and you are not paying me monthly. You just have someone to call who already knows how your business runs.

We talk, then you get the written page.
The build
~2 weeks
I build the one you picked. You see it working before the final payment.
It runs
yours
Documented and handed over. I am not in the middle of it.
06 / What you're already paying
You are already paying for this work. You are just paying in hours.
A job that takes five hours a week is about 250 hours a year of somebody's time. You paid for it last year and you will pay for it again next year, every year, for as long as the business runs. Research by Xero puts about a third of the average owner's week into administrative work of exactly this kind.
Most first builds are $2,500 to $6,000, once, agreed before I start. After that it is yours and it keeps running.
07 / My guarantee
If it doesn't save the hours I quote you, I keep working until it does.
08 / What happens after you book
- 1You pick a time. You get a confirmation right away.
- 2We talk. Nothing to prepare, no deck, no homework.
- 3The next day you get your written page. Yours either way.
- 4If you want one of them built, you get the scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
09 / Is this you?
A fit if
- You run a company with 5 to 25 people.
- You keep hearing you should be using AI, you agree, and you have no idea where it would go in your business.
- Or there is a task you or your best person repeats every week and quietly resents.
Not a fit
- You want a chatbot on your website.
- The decision needs procurement, a vendor review, and a quarter.
- You want someone to run it for you every month. I build it and hand it over.
10 / Questions people ask me
What if I don't know what I'd even use AI for?
That is the normal starting point and it is most of the reason people call me. You talk me through how the work gets done and I come back with the list. Finding where it fits is the job.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. If you can describe your week, you can do your half of this. I handle the rest and you never have to touch the technical side.
What does it cost?
Less than the job is costing you now. Most first builds are $2,500 to $6,000, once, agreed before I start. Never hourly, no monthly fee. If your job is smaller than that, I will say so.
Will this replace my office manager?
No. It takes the part of the job she resents and hands back the part she is good at. Every build I have done gave hours to a person, not a headcount line.
What if it breaks?
You own it outright, and fixes are included for 30 days after handover. Nothing here depends on me staying involved.
How much of my time does this take?
The call, then a short review before handover. Nothing in between. You will not have to explain your business twice.
