Real jobs.
Checked answers.
We use made-up examples or your own approved material.
- Turning rough notes into a first draft: a quote, an email, a post.
- Finding the details you need in a long document.
- Writing a customer reply that still sounds like you.
- Checking every answer: facts, tone, promises, prices.
- What’s OK to type in, and what should stay private.
An hour,
or a whole day.
Working session
$200 for one hour
One question, setup task or business problem. We work through it together and write down the next steps. Setting up an account can take the whole hour.
Half-day team workshop
$800 delivery
Four hours, up to ten people. Hands-on practice and a start on one real task you want to hand off.
Full-day team workshop
$1,600 delivery
Eight hours, up to ten people. More time to build, test and practice, so the task is really handed off by the end of the day.
Workshop preparation is agreed separately at $200 an hour. Travel is quoted separately. We agree the task, readiness and total before booking, and people need suitable devices, accounts and permissions. A workshop gives your team practice and a place to start. A finished system, connections to other software, ongoing support and paid subscriptions are separate. Full terms on the AI page.
Taught around
Central Illinois.
I’ve taught AI for the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, PORTA schools, Athens Municipal Library, Lincoln Library in Springfield, Rochester Library, Springfield Rotary and Distillery Labs in Peoria. I also talked about practical AI on NPR Illinois.
At Athens Municipal Library I taught seniors at 10 in the morning and the workforce at 7 that night. The library became a paying client after.
