For small businesses

I build private AI systems and automations for small businesses — the stuff that saves you a hire.

You don't need "AI strategy." You need the 10 hours a week your team burns on intake emails, reports, and copy-paste back. I find those hours and build the system that returns them.

Three ways to work with me

Fixed-scope, priced per outcome — never hourly. The ranges below are typical; you get an exact number before anything starts. Every engagement starts with a number: hours per week returned, error rate cut, or dollars saved.

Build Sprint

$2,500–5,000 fixed scope

One working automation, agent, or private-AI install, delivered in about two weeks — an intake-email agent, a private ChatGPT on your data, a reporting pipeline, a booking automation. Built and tested in a staging environment before touching anything live, with up to 3 rounds of refinement included. Currently paused for new sprints — the audit above stays open.

Keep-It-Running Retainer

$500–1,500/mo

A defined block of hours each month — monitoring, fixes, and small iterations on what the sprint built. Changes tested in staging first, production changes approved in writing. Best-efforts support, not a 24/7 SLA. Currently paused for new retainers.

What the audit looks like

  1. 90-minute working sessionIn person or by video call. You walk me through how the work actually flows — intake, reports, the copy-paste nobody likes.
  2. A one-page written planYour three biggest time-eaters, ranked by hours per week returned, with effort estimates for each.
  3. Your call what happens nextDiagnostic only — nothing in your systems gets touched. Build it yourself, hand it to anyone, or hand it back to me.

Before you ask

What happens to my data?

You own your accounts, billing, and credentials. I don't store your data on my own machines — access is scoped to what the job needs and revoked at handover.

What if it doesn't work for us?

The audit's $500 price is a ceiling on what you pay, no build commitment attached. Build sprints are tested in staging before going live, with up to 3 rounds of refinement included.

Who owns the code?

You do. Documented and handed over — it keeps working if we never speak again.

Why me

I run this stack for myself, in production, every day: a private voice AI assistant, a fully automated trading pipeline, and a self-hosted GPU cluster. I'm not selling you a deck — I'm selling you what already works. No client logos yet — here's what I ship and run for myself, every day.

Book the $500 audit

Name the most repetitive process in your business. I'll come back with the three automations that would save you the most — ranked by hours per week returned.

How I work with live systems: everything gets built and tested in an isolated environment first — nothing touches your production systems until you've seen it work. Before any change that writes, deletes, or sends anything on your behalf goes live, I confirm you have a working backup and get your written approval. Changes happen in a defined window with a rollback plan. I don't guarantee uptime, security, or business outcomes — you make the final call on what goes live and when.

Before any engagement starts: you get a signed scope of work and a short liability waiver — price, exclusions, and what happens if something outside that scope comes up, spelled out in writing. A 50% deposit secures the booking; the rest is due at completion. Security question or concern? security@systemswright.com.
