Work With Me

I understand first,
automate second

Most automation projects fail because someone built a solution before understanding the problem. I spend time with your team first, learning why that shared spreadsheet exists, why the workaround became the process. Then I build tools that actually fit.

What is AI automation consulting?

AI automation consulting starts with understanding how your team actually works. The workarounds nobody mentions in meetings. The spreadsheet that runs half the operation. Then it builds AI-powered systems that fit that reality instead of demanding you change to match the software.

The Approach

Why "just automate it" usually fails

Here's what typically happens: A business hires a developer to "automate" something. The developer builds exactly what was requested. Everyone's frustrated six months later because the automation doesn't match how work actually gets done.

The problem isn't technical. It's anthropological. Teams develop their own language, shortcuts, and tribal knowledge. That "inefficient" process your consultant wants to eliminate? It exists for a reason.

I shadow your team before touching a single API. I watch the work happen. I ask annoying questions. I find out why the workaround became the standard. Then I build automations that work with your culture, not against it.

Observation over assumptions

I watch how your team actually works, not how the org chart says they should.

Cultural anthropology background

I notice the language patterns that reveal what people actually need.

25 years of context

I've seen tech trends come and go. I build for longevity, not hype cycles.

How much does AI automation cost?

Most projects land between $3,000 and $12,000, depending on how complex your workflows are and how many systems need to talk to each other. That covers everything: discovery, the build itself, training your team, and ongoing support after handoff.

The Process

How we'll work together

No mysteries, no big reveals at the end. You'll know exactly where we are at every step.

  1. 01

    Discovery Call

    30 min, free

    We talk about what's driving you crazy. No sales pitch. Just figuring out if I can actually help. You'll know within 15 minutes if this is a fit.

  2. 02

    Workflow Observation

    1-3 days

    I shadow your team (remote or on-site) to see how work actually flows. This is where I find the genius workarounds and the bottlenecks nobody mentions in meetings.

  3. 03

    Solution Design

    1 week

    You get a detailed proposal: what we'll build, how it connects to your existing tools, timeline, and investment. No surprises later.

  4. 04

    Build & Iterate

    2-6 weeks

    I build in sprints with regular check-ins. You'll see working pieces early, not a big reveal at the end where everything's wrong.

  5. 05

    Training & Handoff

    1 week

    Your team gets training they'll actually remember, documentation that makes sense, and ongoing support. You own everything we build, and I stick around to help you use it.

Questions

Things people ask

Most custom integrations take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to handoff. That includes the discovery phase, building and testing, and training your team.

No. You know your business, and that's what matters. If you can explain your process to a new hire, you can explain it to me.

We build around what your team already uses. The goal is to make existing systems do more with less manual work, not to replace how people think.

Almost anything with an API, and plenty of established systems without one. If it exports CSV, we can probably work with it. The discovery phase is where we figure out exactly what's possible.

Projects start at $3,000. Most land between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on how many systems are involved and how complex the workflows are.
