What a stack audit shows
Illustrative example, not a real client resultWhat does an AI tools consultant do?
An AI tools consultant helps you choose, set up, and use AI software so it fits your actual work. For a small business, that means finding what you already pay for, keeping the few tools that earn their cost, connecting them to daily tasks, and teaching your team to use them.

How we help
Stack audit
We map every tool and subscription, then flag overlaps and unused licenses via our StackIQ diagnostic.
Workflow redesign
We rebuild a few high-effort processes, such as lead follow-up, quoting, invoicing, and reporting, so AI does part of the work inside tools you already use.
Team training by role
Your office manager and your sales lead learn different things, because their jobs differ.
Quarterly review
We re-check what's working, cut what isn't, and test new options against your needs.

What does it cost?
You get a written price and scope before you commit.
Is it safe to use with customer data?
It depends on the tool, its settings, and what goes in. We check where your data goes (and make sure it doesn't train public AI models), who on your team can access what, and whether you need to tell customers they're dealing with AI.
Utah has a law on disclosing generative AI use to consumers, with extra rules for some licensed professions, plus a consumer privacy law. This is general information, not legal advice. For anything high-stakes, check with your attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI tools are best for a small business?
It depends on the job. Many teams start with a general assistant such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or Claude, then add automation through Zapier or Make. We compare them against your tasks and budget.
How much does AI consulting cost?
Cost depends on how many tools and workflows are involved. You get a written price and scope before you commit.
How long until I see results?
Most clients receive a first cost-optimization report and action plan within one to two weeks. Time savings show up once the first workflow is live and your team is trained.
Do I need technical skills?
No. We handle setup, and your team works in tools it already knows.
Is my data safe?
We set workflows so your company data does not train public AI models, and we review access with you. We also flag where Utah rules may apply.
We already pay for a lot of AI tools. Is an audit still useful?
Yes. Overlapping subscriptions are usually where the biggest savings are.
How is this different from buying another AI tool?
We do not sell a tool. We look across everything you use and make it work together.
