What does an AI consultant actually do for a small business?
I help you find the places where AI saves real time or money, then set those up so they work without babysitting. In practice that means looking at your current workflow, picking the right tools instead of the hyped ones, building automations for repetitive work, and training your team to use them. The goal is a shorter to-do list and fewer manual hours, not a science project.
Do you work with businesses in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities?
Yes. I'm based in Minneapolis and work with Twin Cities businesses in person or over video. I also take remote clients anywhere in the US. Most engagements happen over screen share regardless of location.
How much does AI consulting or a custom website cost?
Every project is scoped individually because needs vary widely. Small automations and single-page sites are affordable fixed-price projects; larger builds and ongoing AI advisory are quoted after a short, free scoping call. You'll always get a flat number before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Can you add AI to a website I already have?
Yes. I integrate AI features into existing sites and tools, including chat assistants, content generation, smart search, lead handling, and automations that connect your website to the rest of your stack. I meet your site where it is instead of forcing a rebuild.
What makes you different from a marketing agency?
You work directly with me, the person who builds it, not an account manager and a subcontractor. I use AI hands-on every day to ship real products and websites, so the advice is grounded in what actually works right now. Small overhead means faster turnarounds and honest pricing.
