Adam Gurski Creative — AI Consulting & Education · Petersburg, IL

Tell me the problem.
I'll build
the solution.

I know the AI tools — what's out there, what each one is actually good at, and how to combine them with your real business data to fix the thing that's slowing you down. You bring the problem. I'll bring the right tools and get it built. Local. Plain-spoken. No hype.

§ 0101Who this is for

You know you should be using AI. You just don't know which tool — or where to start.

I hear the same thing from business owners around here: "I keep hearing AI will change everything. I tried ChatGPT once, it gave me junk, and I gave up. I don't even know who to ask."

That's a real problem — and not because AI is hard. The advice out there is built for people who already speak tech, and most of it is trying to put you on a platform. You don't need a platform. You need someone to tell you which two tools actually fit your business and skip the ten that don't.

That's what I do. I use these tools on real client work every week, so when I point you at one, it's something I actually use — not something I read about.

You leave knowing which tools, why, and how to use them — this week.

§ 0202Ways to work together

Five ways in. Start small.

I put the prices right here — you shouldn't have to book a call to find out what something costs.

First step · 60 min

AI Question Hour

$150

Bring every AI question you have — one hour, straight answers, zero jargon. You leave with next steps you can act on the same week.

  • Any questions, any level
  • Plain-language answers, live demos
  • Written next-step list to keep
Workshop · 90 min

AI Kickstart Workshop

$1,000

A hands-on session that finds the two or three AI tools that actually fit your business — and has your team using one before they leave the room. Mostly about picking the right tools, not explaining what AI is.

  • Customized to your industry
  • Live demos + Q&A
  • One-page tool cheat sheet to keep
  • Community / library rate available
Setup · one-time

AI Setup Day

$1,200

I pick the right tools, set them up, and hand you a plain-language playbook so your team can run them without calling me every week.

  • 60-minute discovery call
  • 2–4 tools configured for your workflow
  • Written SOPs — one page per tool
  • 30 days of email support
Retainer · monthly

Add-on · per project

AI-Enhanced Creative

Add-on

Bolt AI-produced imagery, video, or audio onto any Adam Gurski Creative project — product shots, brand films, voiceover, music.

  • Added to web, video, or social work
  • Always disclosed as AI-generated
  • Quoted with the project
  • Craft first — AI amplifies it
For agencies, teams & consultancies

For agencies adding AI to what they already sell.

Everything above is priced for a single business putting AI to work on its own operations. If you run an agency, a marketing team, or a consultancy and you plan to sell AI-powered work to your own clients, that's a different licence class — and a different conversation. I work in Claude Code, Codex, and pipelines I build and own, not a reseller dashboard someone else controls. No per-seat ceiling on what we can put in front of your clients.

Joint delivery · per event

Co-Delivered Sessions

Revenue share

You bring the room and the list; I bring the live demos. Runs as your event, under your branding — a new billable offering without new headcount.

  • Your event, your branding
  • I handle the content and the demos
  • Split agreed per event, in writing
  • Works for chambers, associations, client days
Plan a joint session
Capability transfer · one-time

Team Enablement

$12,000 starting

Your team learns to run the workflows in-house, built on your real client work rather than demo data. Scoped in writing so both sides know exactly what transfers.

  • Hands-on, on your actual accounts
  • Named workflows, defined deliverables
  • Written playbooks your team keeps
  • 12 months of advisory support included

§ 0303Why me

I don't sell a platform. I pick the right tool for your job.

01

Local & in person

I'm in Petersburg. I give these talks at libraries and community rooms across Central Illinois. You can meet me.

02

Google ranked me top 1%

Level 7 Google Local Guide, 8M+ photo views — for what I actually do across Central Illinois. Not a badge I bought.

03

Real tools, not theory

I use these tools every week to make real things for real clients. When I show you one, it's something I actually use.

04

Craft + technology

A working photographer and filmmaker who also runs the AI frontier. Rare locally — and it changes what's possible for you.

05

15 years explaining things

A decade and a half in customer service taught me to make complicated simple. AI is no different.

§ 0404How it starts

One call. No pressure.

1

Free 20-minute call

Tell me what you do. I'll tell you the two tools that'd help you most — and the ten to ignore.

2

We pick the fit

A workshop, a setup, or a monthly check-in. Whatever's right-sized for you. No upsell.

3

You get something usable

Every engagement ends with a tool you can actually use this week — not a binder on a shelf.
