Question 1

I'm not technical at all. Can you still help me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You do not need to be technical. I trained 500+ people on Tesla's Autopilot team, from engineers to operations staff, and the approach is always the same: start where you are, build confidence through doing. No jargon, no assumptions about what you already know.

Question 2

What happens after I take the assessment?

Accepted Answer

You'll get an instant AI readiness score with personalized recommendations. For individuals, that means a clear learning path. For businesses, you'll see the workflow areas that look most worth improving. From there, you can book a free call to discuss next steps — no commitment required.

Question 3

What does an individual consultation look like?

Accepted Answer

It's a relaxed 30-minute video call where we look at where your time goes. I'll ask about your work, your pain points, and where you're spending the most time on repetitive tasks or struggling to get good outputs. By the end, we'll decide if you need a hands-on Setup, or 1-on-1 Tutoring sessions to build your skills. You'll leave with 2-3 concrete ideas either way.

Question 4

How is 1-on-1 Tutoring different from YouTube?

Accepted Answer

YouTube gives you generic advice for generic problems. In a 1-on-1 tutoring session, we share screens and work on your actual workflows, your actual data, and your actual bottlenecks. I'll teach you exactly how to prompt for your specific needs, and you'll walk away with working solutions and new skills, not just notes.

Question 5

What AI tools do you work with?

Accepted Answer

All of them. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, automation platforms like Zapier — plus custom-built solutions when off-the-shelf doesn't cut it. I'm tool-agnostic; I recommend whatever actually solves your problem.

Question 6

Can you build custom AI tools for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when a custom tool is actually the right answer. I've built 25+ AI-powered applications and prototypes across personal workflow tools, web apps, and automation systems. We start by scoping the problem carefully, then decide whether you need a simple workflow, an off-the-shelf tool, or a custom build.

Question 7

How quickly can I expect results?

Accepted Answer

For tutoring, the goal is to leave the first session with one working workflow and a recorded call you can review. For business work, the first useful result is clarity: which AI opportunities are worth pursuing, which are distractions, and what the safest first workflow should be.

Question 8

Do you work with businesses outside Southern Oregon?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Most of my work is remote — video calls, screen sharing, and async collaboration work great for AI consulting and tutoring. I'm also available for in-person sessions if you're in the Rogue Valley area (Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, and surrounding areas).

Question 9

What if I just need help with one specific thing?

Accepted Answer

That's a perfect use case for 1-on-1 tutoring. Book a single session, bring your specific problem, and we'll solve it together. No ongoing commitment required — though most people come back once they see what's possible.
