Solo & small business

AI working like staff — not another subscription you forget about.

You're a team of one, maybe a few. You don't need an AI strategy deck — you need AI set up, tuned to sound like you, and pulling real weight in your week. That's what these packages do.

Package 01 · flat fee

AI Starter Setup

The foundation. You go from "I know I should be using this" to a working setup you actually understand.

We pick the right tools for how you work, get the accounts and settings right, wire in your key context — who you are, what you sell, how you talk — and walk through the workflows that matter most in your week. You leave with a setup, not a demo.

  • Tool selection & setup · chosen for your work, not the hype cycle
  • Your business context, loaded in · so answers start from who you are
  • Three core workflows, built together · the tasks eating your week
  • A working session, recorded · so you can rewatch, not re-ask

Package 02 · add-on or standalone

Voice & Taste Calibration

So the writing sounds like you — not like everyone else's AI.

Generic AI output is the fastest way to sound like nobody. We build a voice profile from your actual writing — the phrases you use, the ones you'd never, the rhythm of how you explain things — and calibrate your tools against it until the drafts come out sounding like yours.

  • Voice profile from your real writing · emails, posts, proposals — whatever you have
  • Taste guardrails · the words and moves that are never you
  • Calibrated and tested · side-by-side until it passes your read

Package 03 · monthly retainer

AI Office Hours

A standing appointment with someone who's already ten steps ahead of the tutorials.

The tools change monthly. Your business changes too. Office Hours is recurring time to tune what's working, fix what's drifted, and fold in what's new — without you having to keep up with AI news as a second job.

  • Recurring working sessions · your questions, your actual work
  • Setup maintenance · keeping the system tuned as things shift
  • "Should I care about this?" filtering · honest reads on new tools

Package 04 · the full setup

The Solo Operator Stack

Everything above, as one engagement — the whole operation, AI-assisted end to end.

Starter Setup, Voice & Taste Calibration, and your first stretch of Office Hours, sequenced as one build. For the solo operator who's decided this is the year the business runs differently.

  • Full setup + voice calibration · packages 01 and 02, sequenced
  • Workflow buildout across the business · marketing, admin, client comms
  • Office Hours included · support while the new system settles in

Package 05 · project-based

Brand & Website Build

A brand system and a website, designed and built AI-assisted — the way this site was.

This one's a project, not a setup: your brand and your website, built with twenty years of design judgment and an AI-assisted process that moves in a fraction of conventional time. Style guide first — colors, type, voice, the rules — then a site built to meet it. It's the same method behind 8co, Sassy Roots, and The Rooted Wisdom, and you can see all three.

  • Brand style guide · palette, typography, voice, and usage rules — the standard everything else meets
  • Website, designed & built · AI-assisted build, human design judgment throughout
  • Proper handover · you can update it yourself, or I can show you how
  • The receipts · see the method's results on the Work page

Is this you?

You're good at what you do. You don't want to become an AI person — you want your business to feel lighter.

That's the client these packages are built for. If you'd rather tinker and DIY, genuinely — the free tutorials are good and you should use them. If you want it handled, that's me.

Ready when you are.

Tell me what your week looks like and where it hurts. I'll tell you which package fits — or if none of them do.
