Question 1

I'm not technical at all. Can you still help me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You do not need to be technical. I trained 500+ people on Tesla's Autopilot team, from engineers to operations staff, and the approach is always the same: start where you are, build confidence through doing. No jargon, no assumptions about what you already know.

Question 2

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The written fit check is free — six to eight questions, then an honest note on whether AI is worth your money right now. The AI Action Plan is $999 flat: a 45-minute working interview, then a plain-English report naming the three to seven tools that fit your actual bottlenecks, what each one costs, and how long each takes to set up. If it can't find you at least five reclaimable hours a week, you get a full refund. Implementation is quoted separately once the Action Plan picks a first project, and the $999 comes off that price.

Question 3

What happens after I take the 3-minute assessment?

Accepted Answer

You'll get an instant AI readiness score with personalized recommendations. For individuals, that means a clear learning path. For businesses, you'll see the workflow areas that look most worth improving. From there, you can book a free call to discuss next steps — no commitment required.

Question 4

What does an individual consultation look like?

Accepted Answer

It's a relaxed 30-minute video call where we look at where your time goes. I'll ask about your work, your pain points, and where you're spending the most time on repetitive tasks or struggling to get good outputs. By the end, we'll decide if you need a hands-on Setup, or 1-on-1 Tutoring sessions to build your skills. You'll leave with 2-3 concrete ideas either way.

Question 5

What do I get from 1-on-1 tutoring that free videos can't?

Accepted Answer

Free videos are great for general concepts — but they can't see your work. In a 1-on-1 session we share screens and build on your actual workflows, your actual data, and your actual bottlenecks. You'll leave with working solutions tailored to you and the skills to keep going, not just notes.

Question 6

What AI tools do you work with?

Accepted Answer

All of them. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, automation platforms like Zapier — plus custom-built solutions when off-the-shelf doesn't cut it. I'm tool-agnostic; I recommend whatever actually solves your problem.

Question 7

Can you build custom AI tools for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when a custom tool is actually the right answer. I've built 25+ AI-powered applications and prototypes across personal workflow tools, web apps, and automation systems. We start by scoping the problem carefully, then decide whether you need a simple workflow, an off-the-shelf tool, or a custom build.

Question 8

How quickly can I expect results?

Accepted Answer

For tutoring, you typically leave the first session with one working workflow and a recorded call to review. For businesses, the first engagement delivers a prioritized AI roadmap plus at least one working automation live — usually a follow-up, admin, or marketing workflow your team can use within the first week or two. You get a concrete result, not just a plan.

Question 9

Do you work with businesses outside Southern Oregon?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Most of my work is remote — video calls, screen sharing, and async collaboration work great for AI consulting and tutoring. I'm also available for in-person sessions if you're in the Rogue Valley area (Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, and surrounding areas).

Question 10

What if I just need help with one specific thing?

Accepted Answer

That's a perfect use case for 1-on-1 tutoring. Book a single session, bring your specific problem, and we'll solve it together. No ongoing commitment required — though most people come back once they see what's possible.
