Frequently asked questions.
Let’s answer your questions
Do I need technical experience to benefit from AI?
Not at all. Most of my clients start with little to no AI background. My approach is designed for business owners and teams, not developers. I break everything down into clear, practical steps and focus on tools you can actually use in your day-to-day work. You’ll leave understanding how AI fits into your business, how to use it confidently, and how to keep improving over time — without needing to be “techy.”
What types of AI tools do you recommend?
There are thousands of AI tools on the market, with new ones launching constantly. Rather than chasing every trend, I focus on helping you identify the tools that make the most sense for your specific business goals, workflows, and team.
This may include tools for:
• content creation and marketing automation
• customer communication and CRM support
• internal processes and documentation
• scheduling, reporting, and decision support
• custom AI assistants for your business
The goal isn’t more tools — it’s smarter systems that save time and reduce friction.
How much does AI consulting typically cost?
Every engagement is customized based on the level of strategy, system design, and implementation support needed.
You’ll always receive clear pricing before we begin, and we’ll choose an approach that aligns with your goals, business size, and budget — no surprises.
Can you help me build my own custom GPT or AI assistant?
Yes. I help clients design and build custom AI assistants tailored to their business needs. This could be an internal operations assistant, a marketing content generator, a client-support helper, or a workflow automation bot.
You’ll also learn how to:
• write effective prompts
• structure your AI for consistent results
• update and improve it over time
• avoid common AI mistakes and inefficiencies
By the end, you’re not dependent on me — you’re empowered to use and evolve your AI tools confidently.
How long does AI implementation usually take?
It depends on the complexity of what we’re building, but most clients start seeing quick wins within the first few weeks.
Simple AI workflows and tool integrations can often be implemented in days.
More advanced systems and custom assistants may take a few weeks to fully design and optimize.
What matters most is that everything is built intentionally — not rushed, not overwhelming, and designed to actually stick long-term.
Do you offer workshops or group programs?
Yes. In addition to 1:1 consulting, I offer group trainings, team workshops, and custom AI education sessions designed to help businesses adopt AI confidently and consistently.
These are great for teams that want shared systems, better adoption, and immediate efficiency gains.
I also teach programs through the MCSC Women’s Business Center , which you can join at no cost.
What kinds of problems do you help solve with AI?
Most clients come to me feeling like their business is working harder than it should.
Common challenges include:
• too much time spent on admin and repetitive tasks
• scattered systems that don’t talk to each other
• inconsistent marketing and follow-up
• unclear processes inside the business
• feeling behind on technology and AI trends
• knowing AI could help but not knowing where to start
AI becomes the lever that simplifies operations, increases efficiency, and frees up time for real growth.
What industries do you work with?
I primarily work with small businesses, service-based companies, consultants, coaches, nonprofits, and local organizations — but the systems we build are flexible across industries.
If your business has processes, customers, communication, or data, AI can almost always improve how it runs.
Do you work with solo business owners or teams?
Both. I support solo entrepreneurs who want smarter systems and more time back, as well as small teams who need streamlined workflows, better communication, and scalable operations.
AI works beautifully at every stage of business — from one-person shops to growing organizations.
Do you guarantee results?
I guarantee clear strategy, practical systems, and tools that are designed to improve efficiency and performance.
Your results ultimately depend on implementation and consistency, but clients who apply what we build together consistently see major time savings, smoother operations, and stronger business momentum.
Will AI replace my team or take jobs away?
No — AI is meant to support your team, not replace it.
The systems we build are designed to remove repetitive, time-consuming tasks so your people can focus on higher-value work like strategy, client relationships, creativity, and growth.
Most businesses find that AI actually reduces burnout, improves productivity, and allows teams to work smarter — not harder.
Is my business data safe when using AI tools?
Yes — when implemented correctly. Part of my role is helping you choose reputable tools, set up secure workflows, and avoid risky data practices. We’ll talk through what information should and shouldn’t be shared with AI systems and how to protect sensitive business data.
AI can be extremely powerful — but it should always be used responsibly and strategically.
How do I know which AI tools are worth paying for?
This is one of the biggest pain points for business owners.
Instead of guessing, testing dozens of platforms, and wasting money on subscriptions you don’t use, I help you evaluate tools based on:
• your specific business goals
• your workflows and team structure
• ease of use and long-term value
• actual ROI
You’ll walk away with a focused tech stack that makes sense — not a pile of unused software.
What if I’m worried about AI changing too fast?
AI is evolving quickly — and that’s exactly why learning how to use it strategically matters more than mastering any one tool.
I teach frameworks and systems that adapt as technology changes, so you’re never locked into one platform or constantly starting from scratch.
You’ll know how to evaluate new tools, integrate them effectively, and stay ahead instead of overwhelmed.
Will AI make my business sound robotic or impersonal?
Not when it’s set up properly. In fact, AI can help make communication more consistent, clear, and personalized when it’s trained around your brand voice and values.
We build systems that enhance human connection — not replace it — whether that’s through smarter email follow-ups, better content creation, or faster client communication.
