Problems this solves
- There is interest in AI, but no clear starting point
- The team needs a working implementation, not another demo
- A repetitive workflow could improve with AI and automation
- Any AI approach needs to connect to real systems and data
Small businesses and startups with one narrow workflow worth improving through AI and automation
Apply AI where it improves a real workflow
I help teams apply AI where it improves a real workflow, not just where it sounds impressive. The sprint stays narrow, connects to real systems where possible, and ends with something usable.
What I do
- I start with one narrow workflow that is worth improving
- I design the prompt, logic, integration points, and safeguards around the real operating path
- I build the workflow and connect it to the systems or data it depends on
- I deliver a usable implementation with tradeoffs, documentation, and next-step guidance
Deliverables
- A working AI workflow or automation
- Integration with the relevant systems or data
- Documentation, tradeoffs, and support notes
- A clear recommendation for what to do next
Who this is for
Small businesses and startups with one narrow workflow worth improving through AI and automation
Engagement notes
A time-boxed sprint focused on one narrow workflow, direct implementation, and a clear handoff.
Additional detail
What this sprint is for
This sprint is for teams that want to test AI inside a real operating workflow, not for teams that want a disconnected demo. The best starting point is usually one workflow with clear friction, clear inputs, and a real business owner.
Typical collaboration
I usually start with a short scoping pass, then move into direct implementation with regular check-ins around the workflow owner, the data involved, and the success criteria. The goal is to ship something useful quickly while still surfacing the important integration, risk, and support tradeoffs.
FAQ
Questions that usually come up before we start
Do we need a full AI strategy before starting? +
No. This works best when there is one clear workflow that is worth improving with a real implementation.
Can this integrate with our existing tools and data? +
Yes. The sprint is most useful when it connects to the systems, data, and steps the team already depends on.
What do we leave with? +
You leave with a working system, clear tradeoffs, and a realistic path forward.
