Pick a session. Virtual or in person. Whichever fits your day.

How much does a session cost?

One-on-one is $1,800, virtual or in person. Workshops are $1,000 a person, three people minimum. Custom builds start at $7,000. No retainer. No subscription. You pay for the session, you keep what we build.

Is AI actually worth it for a small business?

Six years ago, five percent of small businesses used AI. This year, over seventy percent do. The ones who waited are paying for it now. A single session pays for itself the first week you stop doing the thing AI can do in two minutes.

What AI tools should a small business actually use?

Depends on the work. Claude for writing and thinking. Claude Code for building. Firecrawl for research. Midjourney and Veo for images and video. OpenClaw for agents that run in the background. We pick the right one for your problem, not the trendy one.

Do you offer in-person AI training in Columbus, Ohio?

Yes. In-person sessions are based in Columbus. I come to your office in Central Ohio. Same agenda as virtual. Sitting next to you, on your screen, with your team. Most clients prefer in-person.

Tell me what’s bugging you. A task that takes too long. An idea you can’t build. A competitor pulling ahead. I’ll match it to the right AI tool.

What happens in the session?

We build it. Together. Side by side. You leave with something that works, and you understand how to keep using it.

I’m not technical at all. Will I understand this?

You’re the reason this exists. You won’t touch code or a command line. If you can use a smartphone, you’re qualified.

What do I need to have set up beforehand?

A laptop and Wi-Fi. That’s the whole list.

How long does a session take?

Most run 2 to 3 hours. Some go longer. There’s no timer. We stop when you’ve got what you need.

Can you help my whole team?

That’s what the group workshops are for. Up to five people. Everyone builds something real.

What if I need help after?

Send a message. If it’s quick, you’ll get an answer. If it’s bigger, we’ll book another round. No pressure.

Do you come to my office?

For in-person sessions, yes. Based in Columbus. Will come to you.

Launch a product with AI, not a dev team

The cost of testing a product idea collapsed. What took a development team and six months now takes AI coding tools and days. If you know what to build and what to skip.

This guide covers the honest version. What AI coding tools genuinely handle. Where you still need specialists. How to ship a test before you spend real money.

let’s talk

What you can really build

AI coding tools build real products now, not prototypes with training wheels. This list is what actually ships from sessions and custom builds.

All real code. All owned by you.

Client portals: login, status, documents, messages

Booking and scheduling tools shaped to your business

Internal dashboards pulling your numbers into one screen

Marketplaces and directories at MVP scale

Working prototypes real users can click, not mockups

When AI tools are enough, and when they aren’t

Enough: internal tools, MVPs, portals, and most products under a few thousand users. AI coding tools write real code, real databases, real logins. This stopped being a toy a while ago.

Not enough: heavy real-time systems, unusual compliance regimes, or products whose core value is a proprietary algorithm. If you’re there, you’ll know. And you can still prototype the rest first.

Test demand before you build the real thing

The MVP’s job is one question: will anyone pay? A landing page plus a thin working version answers it in a week.

Ship it to twenty real prospects. Charge something, even a little. Interest without a credit card is a compliment, not a signal.

The one-session version

In a hands-on session we build your first version together with Claude Code. You describe. We ship. You learn to keep iterating alone.

Prefer to hand it off? Custom builds cover strategy, design, brand, and working product. Either way you own everything.

The toolkit

Real coding tools, driven in plain English. Claude Code carries most builds. Codex, Open Code, and Cursor each earn a spot depending on the project.

Questions

A thin working version in days. In one session we usually get a clickable, real product started together.

Learn-by-building sessions are $1,800. Done-for-you builds start at $7,000, quoted per project.

Completely. Code, accounts, product. No lock-in to me or to an agency.

For portals, dashboards, and MVPs, yes, when someone who knows what good looks like reviews it. That review is part of every build.

Great problem. The MVP proved demand, and you rebuild the hot spots with specialists using real revenue instead of guesses.

Not to find out if the idea works. Test with AI tools for a fraction of the cost first. Hire when scale demands it.

Book a session

Here’s what to do. Send an email. Pick a time, virtual or in person. Show up with the thing that’s been nagging you.

No prep. No homework. No awkward sales call. One session. Bring the problem. Leave with the solution.
