What We Do

What we're hearing...

We all know these new AI technologies are getting better and more useful every day. You know about ChatGPT or similar tools popping up everywhere. It's just hard to keep up to know how it's going to help your business.

You want to stay ahead of the curve because you know there's leverage in the new tech. You just don't have the time to work on it yourself.

The technical complexity can be overwhelming. APIs, tokens, agents, embeddings, databases... it's a lot. And you'd rather focus on what you do best: running your business.

I'm Alan, and I started this company to help businesses get the benefits of AI without committing to full-time resources or working with someone who doesn't understand your business. I want to bring a combination of expertise and personalization that's hard to find.
