AI CONSULTANCY
Practical AI help for
small business owners, anywhere in the US.
Two ways to work with us. Start with a one-time written plan that gets a couple of hours back every week. Or have a small team of AI employees do the repetitive work for you, inside the messaging app your team already uses.
Not ready to buy yet? Call our 24/7 intake line and talk to Annie, our voice agent. She's free, and she'll get the conversation started: (888) 765-1202.

What we keep hearing
You are not behind. You just have a business to run.
A small fact most owners haven't seen: the average small business takes 47 hours to respond to a new inbound lead. Responses inside five minutes convert about ten times as often.
Source: InsideSales / Velocify lead-response benchmark.
“Every Sunday I sit down and answer the same ten emails I answered last Sunday. I know there’s a better way, but every article I open is written for a software company.”
“My nephew keeps telling me to use ChatGPT. I tried it once, asked it a question about my schedule, and felt like I’d failed a test. I just want someone to show me what’s actually useful.”
“I’ve got estimates to write, suppliers to chase, and three guys waiting on me by 7am. I don’t need another app. I need an hour back at the end of the day.”
How it works
Three steps.
No homework.
We do the looking-around so you don’t have to. You talk for thirty minutes, we hand back a plan, and we walk through it together. If something’s a fit, you try it. If not, you don’t.
-
01
A 30-minute conversation
A friendly call, by phone or video, where we learn how your day actually goes. No slide deck, no jargon, no upsell.
-
02
A clear written plan
A short report showing exactly which tools to try, what they cost, and how many hours each one is likely to save you each week.
-
03
A walkthrough call
We sit down together (coffee optional) and walk through the plan. You decide what to try, what to skip, and what to come back to later.
What you get
A real document.
Not a sales pitch.
The assessment is a short written report, usually six to ten pages, in plain English. Keep it, share it with your team, or read it on the plane.
-
i.
Executive summary
One page. Where we’d start, and why.
-
ii.
Effort-vs-impact map
A simple chart of what’s easy, what’s worth it, and what to ignore for now.
-
iii.
Recommended tools, with pricing
Three to six tools, with honest pricing and what you’d actually use them for.
-
iv.
A 4-day quick-win plan
One thing per day. The kind of small wins that build confidence.
-
v.
Hours-saved estimate
A best guess (not a promise), and how we got there.
Sample cover · names changed.
A few real examples
What this actually
looks like in practice.
Real tools, used in small, specific ways. Nothing here cost more than a week of coffee, and nothing requires hiring an IT person. Names are changed; details are not.
01 · Wedding venue
~6 hrs · ~$600/wk
Stop rewriting the same vendor email twelve times.
We set up a Claude project with their booking template and tone of voice. Now they paste in a couple bullet points after a venue tour, and a thoughtful follow-up email is drafted in ten seconds. They edit, send, done.

Gmail templates
02 · Dental practice
~4 hrs · ~$400/wk
Patient calls transcribed, summarized, filed.
Otter.ai sits in on new-patient consults; ChatGPT turns the transcript into a one-page summary plus a follow-up note. The office manager spot-checks instead of typing it all by hand.

03 · Real estate broker
~5 hrs · ~$500/wk
Listing descriptions that don’t sound like a robot.
A Claude project trained on their best past listings drafts copy in their own voice. Canva templates handle the open-house flyers. What used to be a long evening is now twenty minutes.

04 · General contractor
~7 hrs · ~$700/wk
Voicemails become a tidy list before lunch.
Google Voice transcribes the day’s calls; a small Zapier flow groups them into a Notion page sorted by urgency. He returns the urgent ones first, like a normal person.

05 · Restaurant group
~3 hrs · ~$300/wk
Specials posted to three places, written once.
The chef dictates the week’s specials into a voice note. ChatGPT turns it into Instagram captions, a menu insert, and a short email, in his actual cadence. The manager reviews; nobody is up at 11pm writing copy.

Mailchimp
06 · Family manufacturer
~8 hrs · ~$800/wk
Quote requests answered the same day.
Incoming RFQs land in Gmail; Claude reads the spec, drafts a quote against their pricing sheet, and flags anything unusual for a human. Two days of back-and-forth became one afternoon.

Every business is different. We don’t walk in with a kit. We walk in with questions, and pick the two or three tools that fit your particular week.
Industries we know best
Where we’ve done
this most.
We work with owners in every kind of business, but a handful come up over and over. If yours is on this list, we usually know the quick win before the call starts.
-
Dental practices
Patient calls transcribed and filed.
Front-office staff stop typing chart notes by hand. Usually four to six hours a week back to the practice.
-
HVAC & plumbing
Missed calls become booked jobs.
An AI receptionist answers after-hours, captures the address, and texts the on-call tech. One recovered job usually pays for the year.
-
Med spas & salons
Bookings, reminders, no-show recovery.
Automated reminders cut no-shows by 30 to 50%. The owner stops being the booking agent on Saturday morning.
-
Wedding venues & events
Vendor follow-ups, in your voice.
A Claude project drafts post-tour emails in the owner’s tone. Edit one line, send, done.
-
Real estate brokers
Listing copy that sounds like you.
Trained on the broker’s best past listings. The long evening at the kitchen table becomes twenty minutes.
-
Small accounting & legal
Document intake, automated.
Invoices, intake forms, and recurring paperwork extracted into your system, without 15 minutes of human typing per document.
Not on the list? That’s most owners. The plan is still the same; the tools just look a little different.
A rough number
What this is probably
worth to you.
Most of the dollars on the table aren’t from saved hours. They’re from leads you never got back to in time. Three inputs. One rough estimate.
A guess, not a promise. The real number lands in your written plan.
Roughly leaving the door each year

A conservative model: 2% baseline close rate, scaling the lift with response speed up to a cap.
For growing businesses
An AI team that lives
in your messaging app.
Some clients don’t want a report. They want the work done. We build, run, and keep watch over a small fleet of AI employees for your business. You talk to them in Telegram, Slack, or WhatsApp, the way you’d text any other coworker. They reply at 11pm and again at 6am, in your voice, while nobody on your team is up.
What’s included
Unlimited employees, unlimited use.
- · As many AI employees as your team actually needs. No token counts, no credit math, no usage caps.
- · The strongest model available for each job, kept current as better ones ship. You don’t pick; we do.
- · Lives in Telegram, Slack, or WhatsApp. Whichever your team already uses every day.
- · Each employee gets a name, a role, and a dedicated email so they can send and receive on their own.
How we run it
We deploy, we monitor, we fix.
- · First employee live in less than 3 business days from the kickoff call.
- · 95% uptime guarantee, watched by us. If something breaks, we usually fix it before you notice.
- · New skills, new connections, new employees added by request. One or two changes every 48 hours, so nothing breaks at once.
- · Each client gets isolated infrastructure. Your data and your conversations don’t mingle with anyone else’s.

Same problems show up everywhere: too many emails, too many follow-ups, too many open loops. The team we build is shaped around your industry.

If you want help afterward
After the assessment.
About one in three clients ask us to build the first thing for them. These are optional, scoped to the plan, and quoted separately. Posted here so there’s nothing hidden.
One automation, built
$2,500
one-time, 7–10 days
One specific job done for you: a 24/7 receptionist, a follow-up flow, a quote-drafting agent, a dormant-lead recovery campaign. Pick one.
Ongoing care
$500/mo
cancel anytime
We watch what you built, tune the prompts, fix what breaks, and add small improvements once a month. You stay current without thinking about it.
Full operations build
From $7,500
scoped to you
Several connected automations, a CRM if you need one, and your team trained on the result. For owners who want to step back from the day-to-day.
These exist for clients who ask. Most owners read the plan, try one tool themselves, and email us only when they get stuck. That’s fine with us.
What people have said
Not bigger. Just less of the small stuff.
“AI For Biz showed us how to use Otter for our vendor calls and a simple sheet template for follow-ups. I stopped staying late on Wednesdays. About four hours back, every single week.”
“I went in skeptical. I thought I’d be sold a chatbot. Instead I got a four-page plan with three tools I’d never heard of. We use one of them every single morning now. About six hours back a week.”
“Honest, no-nonsense. He sat at my kitchen table for an hour and set up a Claude project that drafts my open-house emails. I read them, fix one word, send. What used to take a Friday evening now takes twenty minutes. Easy nine hours a month.”
About
A small shop in Silicon Valley, working with owners across the US.
AI For Biz is based in Silicon Valley, and we work with owners of small and mid-sized businesses all over the country: venues, dentists, contractors, brokers, restaurant groups, family manufacturers. 25+ assessments delivered so far, most from a neighbor or colleague who tried it first.
Kevin runs the shop. He’s an AI engineer who actually likes this stuff, and just as importantly, the kind of person who’ll tell you which of these new tools are worth the trouble and which ones to politely ignore. Nobody should feel embarrassed about not knowing this yet. It’s new for everyone.
We answer our own emails. We don’t outsource the work. And we’ll tell you when you don’t need us.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. About 80% of the people we work with have never opened a tool like Claude or ChatGPT. The whole point of the assessment is that we do the technical part and hand back something you can actually read.
What if I’ve never used these tools before?
Honestly, that’s our favorite kind of client. We start with the simplest possible win, usually something you can use the same afternoon, and build from there. No quizzes, no jargon, no homework.
Will you try to sell me a bunch of software?
No. We don’t take affiliate commissions and we don’t resell tools. Most of our recommendations are between $0 and $20 a month. If we think the free version is good enough, we’ll say so.
What if I want help actually doing it?
Most owners try the plan themselves first. About a third of clients ask us to build the first tool for them; that’s a separate quote, usually $2,500 one-time or $500 a month for ongoing care. We don’t pitch it on the assessment call unless you bring it up. Full pricing is on the pricing section.
Is what I tell you kept private?
Yes. Everything you share stays between us. We don’t use client conversations to train anything, and we’ll sign an NDA before the first call if you’d like. The written plan is yours; we don’t publish it.
Do you only work with businesses near you?
No. We’re based in Silicon Valley, but we work with owners anywhere in the US. The 30-minute call is on Zoom, the written plan reads the same wherever you are. In-person visits happen around the Bay Area when it makes sense; everyone else stays on video.
What is an “AI employee,” really?
Think of it like a coworker that lives inside Telegram, Slack, or WhatsApp. You give it a name and a job (handling inbound leads, drafting follow-ups, writing first-draft contracts, keeping your CRM tidy), and you message it the way you’d message anyone else. It uses the strongest AI model available for each task, and we keep it running.
What does the 7-day free trial actually include?
One AI employee, set up around a real task in your business, running in your messaging app for seven days. No card on file, no contract. At the end of the week, you decide whether to keep going on the $5,000/month plan or part ways with no charge. It’s only for small businesses; we don’t run trials for enterprises.
Which industries do you work with on the AI Employees plan?
Marketing agencies, law firms, insurance agencies, manufacturers, wholesalers, and real estate agencies, mostly. These are people-heavy businesses with predictable inbound flow and a lot of repetitive coordination, which is exactly what these employees are good at. Healthcare and financial services we usually decline, because of the regulatory weight.
How long until the first employee is live?
Less than three business days from the kickoff call. We commit to 95% uptime, monitored on our end. If something goes sideways, we usually catch and fix it before anyone on your team notices.
A small first step
Curious where AI could actually help your business?
Pick the version that fits. Both start with a conversation, not a contract.
