The last two years

a new tool every week.

Agents, copilots, plugins, models. Every week brings another launch, another demo, another subscription. Most teams have a pilot that stalled and a few tools nobody opens.

The trap

chasing every launch is not a strategy.

Teams that sprint after the newest tool end up with scattered experiments, unclear rules about data, and nothing that compounds.

Our approach

start with where you are going.

We begin with the end goal: the outcome your business needs in a year, in plain terms. Every tool decision answers to it.

The path

then we stage the work.

Sequenced modules that move at the speed of your organization. Each one builds on the last, so the team learns, the rules are clear, and nothing is wasted.

  1. map the workflows
  2. set data rules
  3. train the team
  4. build the processes
  5. upskill the organization
  6. measure the return

What we work toward

an organization that runs better.

Better systems, a team that trusts its tools, more room to try new ideas, and margins that reflect the hours you get back.

The starting line

this is where it becomes clear.

Every engagement starts the same way: a conversation about where you want to go.

let's get started→

how we get there.

  1. get our bearings.

    An initial meeting with your leadership to understand the business, the tools you already use, and the goal worth working toward.

  2. build the foundation.

    Trainings and working sessions that give your team the skills, the data rules and the shared habits everything else depends on.

  3. chart the course.

    Together we map the path from where you are to that goal, in an order your organization can absorb.

  4. work in modules.

    We break the path into modules, each tied to a measurable return, and work through them toward the end goal we set together.

Coffee hours

coffee hours.

One Friday morning a month, I sit down with owners around Savannah and talk through whatever you are trying to figure out with AI. One-on-one, or a small group if you would rather hear other people's questions. An hour, a coffee, no pitch. Usually downtown; I will confirm the spot when I confirm your time.

Preference
Times that work

Mornings run 8 to noon. I will reply by email with your time and place. Privacy policy.

Ask us anything

what are you stuck on.

Send the question you would ask if you had a technical person on staff. We answer directly, and the ones that come up repeatedly become research pieces everyone can read.

Subscribers get first word on coffee hours dates each month.

Maai® Week in AI

one email a week.
no pitch.

Every week: what to take advantage of, what to avoid, what to look out for, and the traps that are easy to fall into. Research worth reading, videos worth watching, and what other owners are figuring out, shared with their permission. First issue in October.

Get the AI starter kit: the six-words card, the three-tier data card, and the decomposition worksheet. One short note a week after that.
