Services & Pricing

Three clear ways to work together — each built around where you actually are right now, not where some consultant thinks you should be.

Service 01

AI Audit

Before spending a dollar on AI tools, you need to know which ones will actually make a difference in your specific business. The AI Audit gives you a clear, prioritized answer — no guesswork, no pressure to buy anything.

We'll spend real time understanding your workflow — what you do every day, what takes too long, and what you dread. Then we'll come back with a written report that lays it all out plainly.

$250–$500
One-time engagement
Turnaround: 5–7 business days

What's Included

  • 90-minute discovery session (in person or Zoom)
  • Detailed written workflow map
  • 3–5 prioritized AI opportunities
  • Specific tool recommendations with pricing
  • Estimated time savings per recommendation
  • Honest assessment of what AI won't fix
  • Implementation roadmap if you want to proceed

Timeline

  • Day 1: Initial discovery call (90 min)
  • Days 2–4: Workflow research & analysis
  • Days 5–6: Report writing
  • Day 7: Delivery + 30-min Q&A call
  • Ongoing: No obligation after delivery

Best For

  • Business owners who are curious but not yet committed
  • Anyone who has tried AI tools and wasn't sure they were using them right
  • Businesses with tight budgets wanting to invest wisely
  • Teams that need to see the case on paper before buying in
Service 02

AI Implementation

You've decided AI makes sense for your business. Now you need someone to actually set it up. We handle the full implementation — from choosing tools to configuring them to training you and your staff — so you end up with something that runs, not something you need to figure out.

The price range reflects the scope. A solo operator needing a few automated workflows sits toward the lower end; a team with multiple departments and complex processes sits higher. We'll give you an honest estimate after the audit.

$1,500–$4,000
Project-based
Includes AI Audit · 3–6 week timeline

What's Included

  • Full AI Audit (included, no additional cost)
  • Tool selection, account setup, configuration
  • Custom prompt library for your business
  • Workflow integration and testing
  • 1–2 staff training sessions
  • Written "how-to" guide specific to your setup
  • 30-day check-in after go-live
  • 30 days email support post-launch

Timeline

  • Week 1: Audit + planning
  • Weeks 2–3: Tool setup, configuration
  • Week 4: Testing + staff training
  • Week 5: Go-live + adjustments
  • Week 6–8: 30-day check-in & support

Best For

  • Owners ready to commit to AI adoption
  • Businesses with clear repetitive tasks eating up hours
  • Teams that need proper training, not just a tool link
  • Anyone who tried to set up AI tools alone and got stuck
Service 03

Monthly Retainer

AI tools change fast. What works today may need updating in six months, and new tools worth adopting appear regularly. The retainer keeps us in your corner so you're never left behind, never dealing with a broken workflow alone, and always improving.

This is for businesses that have already implemented AI and want ongoing optimization and support — not a starting package. Most retainer clients come from completed implementation projects.

$500–$1,500
Per month
Month-to-month, no long-term contract

What's Included

  • Monthly 60-min strategy call
  • Proactive tool updates and improvements
  • New workflow additions as needs evolve
  • Priority email & phone support
  • Quarterly full workflow review
  • Testing & vetting of new AI tools
  • Staff re-training when tools change

What You Get

  • A dedicated AI advisor who knows your business
  • Peace of mind when AI tools break or change
  • Early access to tools we're testing for your industry
  • Ongoing optimization — not just a one-time setup
  • Monthly report on time saved and costs

Best For

  • Businesses with established AI workflows
  • Owners who want a long-term AI partner, not a one-off consultant
  • Teams where AI is now mission-critical
  • Anyone who wants to keep expanding their use of AI over time

Questions

Frequently asked

The things we hear most often. If your question isn't here, just reach out.

Not at all. We specifically work with non-technical business owners. Part of our job is choosing tools that are genuinely easy to use and explaining them in plain language. You don't need to know how AI works under the hood — you just need to know how to use it in your business, and we'll make sure you do.
ChatGPT is one of many tools — and yes, it's often part of what we recommend. But using ChatGPT well for a business is very different from just typing questions into it. We build custom prompt systems, connect AI tools to your existing workflows, and help you get consistent, useful results rather than hit-or-miss outputs. There are also many specialized tools beyond ChatGPT that do specific jobs far better — scheduling, customer follow-up, document processing, and more.
It depends on your business and workflow. We're tool-agnostic — we don't get paid by any software company. Common tools we work with include ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, Zapier, Make (Integromat), Fireflies.ai (meeting notes), Tidio (customer chat), GHL (marketing automation), and various industry-specific tools. The short answer: we use whatever actually works for your situation, not whatever's currently getting the most press.
The AI Audit takes about 5–7 business days from our first call. A full Implementation project runs 3–6 weeks depending on scope. We don't drag things out — we know you're running a business and don't have time for a 6-month consulting engagement. Most of our clients see working AI systems within a month.
Honestly? It depends. AI isn't magic, and there are some businesses where the ROI genuinely isn't there yet — and we'll tell you that upfront rather than take your money. In our experience, most small businesses have at least 3–5 hours per week of tasks that AI can handle reliably. If yours doesn't, we'll say so in the Audit. Industries we've seen strong results in: food service, real estate, wellness, retail, professional services (law, accounting), and home services.
The Audit fee is credited toward the Implementation project. So you're not paying for both separately — the Audit is essentially the discovery phase of the larger project.
Change management is part of our process. Yes, AI changes workflows — usually by removing the annoying repetitive parts. We run training sessions for your team, explain the "why" behind each tool, and make sure everyone feels capable (not threatened). The goal is for AI to take the tedious tasks off people's plates so they can focus on the parts of their job that actually require a human.
Most AI tools cost $20–$150/month depending on what you need. We'll be explicit about tool costs in the Audit report so there are no surprises. Our goal is always to find the most cost-effective setup that actually works. Many clients recoup their tool costs within the first month through time savings alone.
Usually yes. We look at what you're already using — your POS system, your CRM, your email tools, your scheduling software — and try to integrate AI into that existing stack rather than replace everything. Sometimes a full switch makes sense; more often it doesn't. We'll always tell you if something you have doesn't integrate well before you're committed.
Our focus is the Hudson Valley — it's where we live and where our community is. That said, we do occasional remote-only projects for businesses elsewhere. But if you're local, you get the added benefit of in-person meetings, which genuinely makes the work better. If you're outside the area, reach out and we can see if it makes sense.
