You want to do this yourself. We’ll sit next to you while you do.

Billed by the hour. No minimum. No package. You book an hour. We sit down together. You leave with a working fix or a clear next step.

You’re not stuck because you’re not smart. You’re stuck because nobody’s next to you.

You’ve read the articles. You’ve watched the YouTube videos. You’ve tried a few tools.

Then you hit a wall.

Maybe your prompt keeps giving you generic answers. Maybe you can’t pick which AI tool actually fits your business. Maybe you got Claude Code installed and now you’re staring at a terminal wondering what to type.

This isn’t a you problem. It’s a nobody-sitting-next-to-you problem.

Most AI content online is either marketing fluff or written for developers who already know the basics. Neither helps when you’re a plumber trying to build a quote template. Or a chiropractor writing patient emails with ChatGPT. Or an office manager trying to connect your CRM to something new.

Books and courses are one-way. You need someone who can look at your actual screen, your actual business, and say "try this, not that."

That’s what the hour is for.

Who this is for

Owners who want to understand what’s possible.

You keep hearing about AI. You’ve tried ChatGPT a few times. You have a hunch it could save your business real time if you just knew where to start. An hour of straight answers gets you past the hype and into what actually works for a business your size.

Owners who got stuck mid-setup.

You bought the subscription. You read the tutorial. And it still isn’t doing what you need it to. The prompt outputs generic content. The integration doesn’t connect. The tool feels like it was built for somebody else’s business. We can usually fix this kind of thing in an hour.

Technical folks and dev-curious owners.

You’re trying to use Claude Code, wire up an MCP server, build a custom prompt library, or connect APIs yourself. You don’t need a done-for-you build. You need a technical partner to work through the part that’s tripping you up. That’s exactly what this hour is for.

Bring the thing you’re stuck on.

A prompt that keeps failing. A tool you can’t figure out. A workflow you want to automate but don’t know where to start. Show your screen. Ask the dumb questions. That’s the whole point.

We work on it together.

Not a lecture. Not a tutorial. We look at your actual situation. We try things. We fix what’s broken. You type, I coach. Or I type and explain what I’m doing. Whatever gets you unstuck fastest.

You leave with next steps.

A working fix. Or a clear list of what to do this week. Or the confidence to keep going on your own. No 30-page report. No deliverable binders. Just progress.

What your project can include

  • Prompt not working? We iterate on it together until it does what you need.
  • Picking an AI tool? We talk through your options and pick the one that fits your business.
  • Setting up ChatGPT, Claude, or another assistant for your business? We walk through the setup live.
  • Trying to wire up Claude Code, an MCP server, or a developer tool? Screen share, we’ll get it running.
  • Want to automate something small yourself? We map it out and show you how to build it.
  • Just want to understand what’s actually possible? An hour of straight answers beats a week of YouTube rabbit holes.

Common questions

Yes. Most coaching hours are with owners who don’t consider themselves technical. A plumber who wants AI to write quotes faster. A dentist figuring out how to use ChatGPT without it sounding like a robot. A property manager trying to stop retyping the same data into three systems. I meet you where you are. No jargon unless you want it.

Also yes. Thirty years building technology systems. If you want to talk through how to structure a Claude Code project, wire up an MCP server, or design an automation that connects your tools, we can do that. Bring the real problem. We’ll work on it together.

Because you might need one hour. Or three. Or you might book an hour now and come back in two months when you hit the next thing. A package forces you to commit before you know how much help you actually need. Hourly respects your time and your money.

We book another one. Or, if what you need is actually a full build, we’ll talk about whether our Automation project makes more sense. No pressure to upgrade. Plenty of people book one hour, get what they need, and I don’t hear from them again until the next thing comes up.

Request your session first. We’ll confirm a time and the hourly rate by email, and payment is due before the session. Cancel with at least 24 hours’ notice for a refund.

Either. Most sessions are video with screen share. If you’re close to Essex Junction, Vermont and want to meet in person, we can do that too. Sometimes it’s easier to work through something sitting at the same table.

What it costs

Billed by the hour. No package required.

Request a session and we’ll confirm the time and rate by email. Payment is due before the session.

If you need more time or want us to handle a build, we’ll agree on the next step before you pay for more.
