Okay so, I'm not some big agency with a dozen account managers and a fancy office building downtown. I'm a solo operator out of Florida, but I work with businesses all over, including right here in Tulsa. My goal is simple: help businesses like yours figure out where AI can genuinely make a difference without all the hype and expense that usually comes with it. I'm not here to sell you on a 'digital transformation journey.' I'm here to solve a problem or automate a task, plain and simple. Think of me as that slightly nerdy, but super helpful, neighbor who knows a lot about computers and can actually explain it without making your eyes glaze over.
## What I actually do for Tulsa clients
When a Tulsa business comes to me, it's usually because they have a specific pain point. Maybe it's sifting through mountains of customer feedback, or getting bogged down with manual data entry, or trying to predict inventory needs better. I don't start with 'what AI can you use?' I start with 'what problem are you trying to solve?' From there, I help design and sometimes even build a focused AI solution. This could be something as straightforward as setting up a system to automatically categorize incoming support emails, or building a small AI model to help sales teams identify hotter leads faster.
I've helped businesses here in Tulsa with things like automating report generation that used to take days, or building a smart assistant that helps customer service reps find information instantly. It's not about replacing people, it's about giving your folks better tools to do their jobs more efficiently and less painfully. Think of it as giving your employees superpowers for the repetitive, boring stuff, freeing them up for the work that really matters.
## How a Tulsa engagement usually goes
Okay, so let's say you're a Tulsa business owner and you've got an idea or a problem you think AI might help with. Here's how an engagement usually unfolds:
1. **Discovery & Scoping (Week 1-2):** We'll have a couple of in-depth conversations. I want to understand your business, the problem, and what success looks like. I'll ask a lot of questions, maybe review some of your existing processes or data. By the end of this phase, I'll provide a clear, written proposal outlining the problem, the proposed AI solution, the expected outcomes, and a fixed price and timeline. No surprises. 2. **Pilot/Proof of Concept (Weeks 3-6):** If we decide to move forward, I'll usually start with a small, focused pilot project. This isn't about building the whole thing; it's about proving the core idea works with your data and processes. We want to see tangible results quickly to make sure we're on the right track and that the AI actually delivers value. 3. **Refinement & Implementation (Weeks 7-12):** Based on the pilot's success and any feedback, I'll refine the solution. This is where I build out the full tool, integrate it (if necessary) with your existing systems, and make sure it's robust enough for daily use. I'll also provide documentation and often train your team on how to use and maintain it. 4. **Handover & Support (Ongoing):** Once the solution is up and running, I'll hand it over to you. I'm not just gonna disappear. I typically offer a period of post-implementation support to iron out any kinks and answer questions. For more complex systems, we can discuss ongoing maintenance agreements if that makes sense for your specific needs.
## What it costs, roughly
I get it, you wanna know about the money. I don't charge hourly for projects because I think that's kinda backwards. Instead, I work on a fixed-fee basis for defined projects. That way, you know upfront what it's going to cost, and there are no nasty surprises down the line. For a typical pilot project or a small automation, you're usually looking in the low five figures. More complex, multi-stage projects can certainly go higher, but we'll always agree on a clear scope and price before any work begins. I'm not the cheapest option if you're looking for someone to just click around, but I aim to be the most cost-effective when it comes to delivering real, measurable results for your Tulsa business.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm pretty upfront about who I can help and, just as importantly, who I probably can't. If you're a massive corporation with dozens of internal AI engineers, you probably don't need me. Similarly, if you're just 'exploring AI' without a clear problem or use case in mind, I'm probably not the best starting point. I'm also not a fit if you're looking for someone to build a complex, consumer-facing mobile app from scratch (unless it has a very specific AI component I'd be working on). My sweet spot is small to medium-sized businesses in Tulsa and elsewhere who have a clear operational problem and are ready to tackle it with a focused, practical AI solution.

FAQs — Tulsa
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Tulsa business?
The best way to figure that out is to start with a specific problem you're trying to solve or a process you want to improve. If you have data related to that problem, and it's repetitive or time-consuming, AI might be a good fit. I can help you assess this during our initial chat.
Do you only work with companies in Tulsa?
No, I work with businesses across the country. While I like to specifically mention Tulsa to help local businesses find me, my services are available remotely to any company that needs practical AI consulting.
What does the first 2 weeks look like after I decide to work with you?
During the first two weeks, we'll focus on discovery. This means several conversations where I dig deep into your business, your specific problem, and what you hope to achieve. I'll then prepare a detailed proposal with a fixed scope, timeline, and price for your review.
I don't have a lot of technical staff. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many of my clients don't have dedicated technical teams. I aim to deliver solutions that are as self-sufficient as possible, and I provide clear documentation and training so your existing team can use and manage them without needing to become AI experts.
Will AI replace my employees?
My approach to AI is about augmentation, not replacement. I focus on using AI to automate repetitive, mundane tasks, freeing up your employees to concentrate on more creative, strategic, and valuable work that genuinely requires human insight.
