Practical AI for the Hudson Valley

What could you do with
6 more hours a week?

Hudson Valley small businesses shouldn't need a Manhattan agency to use AI. We help local shops, restaurants, and service businesses use AI to save hours every week and grow smarter. Simple tools. Real results.

"Ian helped us set up AI for our menu descriptions and responses to reviews. Saved me hours every single week."
— Maria R., Restaurant Owner · Beacon
"I was skeptical — I'm not a tech person. But Ian made it approachable and it actually works for my business."
— Tom V., Real Estate Agent · Kingston
"Our client intake used to take me 45 minutes per new client. Now it's under 10. Game changer."
— Lena M., Wellness Studio Owner · Rhinebeck
"He's the first consultant who actually understood what running a small shop is like. He speaks our language."
— David K., Boutique Owner · Hudson
Sound familiar?

You've heard about AI.
You're just not sure where to start.

Most Hudson Valley business owners we talk to are in the same spot — curious, maybe a little overwhelmed, and not sure what's real versus hype.

🤷

You know AI is a big deal — but you're not sure what it actually does for a business like yours

The news is full of AI stories, but none of them seem to be about Poughkeepsie landscapers or Kingston bookshops. We bridge that gap.

You don't have 20 hours to research tools, watch tutorials, and figure this out yourself

You're running a business. We've already done the research. Our job is to show you exactly what to use and how to use it — in your specific workflow.

🏙️

Every AI consultant seems to be a big-city agency that doesn't understand small-town businesses

We live in the Hudson Valley. We shop at the same farmers markets you sell at. We understand what matters here — relationships, community, doing things right.

What we offer

Three ways to work together

Whether you want a quick reality check or ongoing support, there's a starting point that fits where you are right now.

AI Audit

$250–$500 one-time

The right starting point.

We spend 2–3 hours learning your workflow, then deliver a plain-English report on exactly where AI can save you time — with specific tool recommendations and a priority order.

  • 90-minute discovery session
  • Written workflow map
  • Top 3–5 AI opportunities
  • Tool recommendations with costs
  • Honest assessment of ROI

Monthly Retainer

$500–$1,500 /month

Keep improving.

AI tools evolve fast. We stay in your corner month to month — updating workflows, adding new tools as they become useful, and being available when something changes or breaks.

  • Monthly strategy call
  • Ongoing tool updates
  • Priority email support
  • Quarterly workflow review
  • New tool testing and vetting
The process

How it works

No long contracts. No mystery. Here's exactly what working with us looks like.

1

Discovery Call

We spend 30 minutes on a free call. You tell us about your business — what you do, where you're spending the most time, what's frustrating you. No pitch, just listening.

2

AI Audit

We map your workflow and identify where AI can realistically help. You get a clear, written report with specific recommendations — tools, costs, and expected time savings.

3

Implementation

If you want to move forward, we set everything up and train you (or your team) to use it. You leave with working systems — not homework.

Why local matters

A real person in your community — not a remote agency

We're not based in San Francisco trying to sell you something we read about in a newsletter. We live and work in the Hudson Valley, and we're genuinely invested in seeing local businesses here thrive.

When you hire a big AI agency, you get an account manager who's never set foot in your town and a proposal written for a Fortune 500 company. We know that the Hudson Valley has its own rhythm — the seasonal swings, the community relationships, the fact that your customers know your name.

We can meet you in person in Beacon, Rhinebeck, Kingston, or wherever you are. We speak plain English. And we measure success the same way you do: did it actually save you time and money?
