Our Services
AI Strategy, Systems & Implementation for Small Businesses
We help leaders integrate AI intentionally — from clarity and planning to fully automated workflows and custom AI assistants.
Who this is for.
This is for you if:
• You’re overwhelmed by admin and repetitive tasks
• You know AI could help but don’t know where to start
• Your systems feel scattered or manual
• You’re tired of duct-taping tools together
• You want real leverage — not more noise
If you’re looking for traditional business planning, startup advising, or general consulting, those services are now offered through the MCSC Women’s Business Center for eligible Monterey and SLO residents.
Smarter Strategies focuses exclusively on AI strategy, systems, and implementation.
AI Consultation & Strategy Sessions
AI Strategy Consultations start at $250 per session.
This is where clarity begins.
AI consultations are designed to help you understand exactly how AI can support your business — without overwhelm, hype, or wasted tools.
Whether you’re just getting started with AI or already experimenting and need expert guidance, these sessions give you direct access to strategic insight tailored to your goals.
In these sessions, we may cover:
• where AI fits into your current workflows
• which tools are worth using (and which to avoid)
• prompt language and optimization
• automation opportunities
• troubleshooting existing systems
• short-term and long-term AI strategy
Some clients use consultations as a starting point before deeper implementation.
Others book ongoing sessions for continued support as their business evolves.
Outcome:
Clear direction, smarter decisions, and confidence using AI intentionally.
AI Systems Audit
Your personalized AI roadmap.
This in-depth assessment is designed to identify exactly where AI can streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve efficiency inside your business.
Rather than guessing or trying random tools, you receive a strategic, customized plan built around how your business actually runs.
What’s included:
• review of current workflows and systems
• identification of automation and AI opportunities
• tailored tool recommendations
• process optimization suggestions
• custom AI strategy roadmap
• detailed written report with prioritized next steps
Outcome:
A clear, actionable AI implementation plan built specifically for your business.
AI Workflow Implementation & Custom GPT Development
From strategy to fully working systems.
This is where your AI roadmap becomes reality.
I work directly with you to build, implement, and optimize the AI workflows and custom systems that will power your business forward.
This may include:
• automation of repetitive tasks
• custom GPT assistants built for your business
• internal knowledge systems
• AI-powered marketing workflows
• client communication automations
• operational efficiency systems
Every system is designed intentionally — not patched together with random tools.
Outcome:
