Practical AI Consulting for St. Louis Businesses

You've heard AI can save your team hours every week, but where do you start, and what's actually worth paying for? I help St. Louis small and mid-sized businesses find the jobs AI can take off their plate, then I build it and connect it to the tools you already use. No hype, no jargon, and no 50-page strategy deck.

Where AI Pays Off First

Most businesses get the fastest return from the repetitive work nobody enjoys.

Emails & Customer Questions

AI sorts incoming emails and web inquiries, drafts replies in your voice and flags the ones that need you. Your team reviews and sends.

Scheduling & Planning

Leagues, crews, shifts, appointments, deliveries. AI builds the schedule from your rules in minutes and checks every rule before anyone sees it.

Paperwork & Data Entry

Invoices, order forms, PDFs and intake forms are read and typed into your spreadsheet or system automatically, so people only check the exceptions.

Website Assistant

A chat assistant on your website that answers questions from your information (services, hours, pricing, policies) and turns visitors into leads.

Reports & Summaries

Weekly numbers, job notes, meeting notes and customer feedback turned into short, readable summaries that land in your inbox.

Team Know-How

Your procedures, manuals and past answers made searchable in plain English, so new hires stop waiting on the one person who knows.

AI League Scheduler for a Sports Facility

Building an adult league schedule is a puzzle: teams, fields, time slots, bye weeks, and dozens of "this team can't play late" requests. Done by hand, every change means starting over. I built an AI scheduler for it and piloted it with a St. Louis sports facility.

Staff paste in their teams and type the rules in plain English, like "Team 12 can't play after 8pm in October."
AI builds a full season schedule in minutes, and every rule is checked automatically before it's accepted.
Late changes are a one-line note and a re-run, and the AI is told to change as little as possible.
The finished schedule exports straight into the facility's booking software.

It's now being built into a scheduling product for other leagues. If your business has its own version of this "spreadsheet puzzle," that's exactly the kind of problem I like.

AI Consulting FAQ

Do I need technical staff to use AI?

No. I set it up so it fits into how your team already works: email, spreadsheets, your website, your existing software. If someone can use email, they can use what I build.

What does AI consulting cost?

The first consult is free. After that you get a clear quote before any work starts. Most businesses begin with one small, focused pilot so the cost is modest and the results are easy to judge.

Is my business data safe?

I use business AI services that don't train their public models on your data, keep access limited to what each task needs, and can host tools on private servers. We'll go over exactly where your data goes before anything is connected.

Which AI tools do you use?

Whatever fits the job: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and others. I'm not tied to one vendor, so I pick on quality and cost for your situation and can switch later if something better comes along.

Will AI replace my employees?

That isn't the goal. The best results come from taking the repetitive parts off your people's plates so they can spend more time with customers and on the work that needs a human.

Do you only work with St. Louis businesses?

I'm based in Crestwood and focus on the St. Louis area, including Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Sunset Hills, Clayton, Chesterfield and St. Charles, but I can work with anyone remotely.
