You know you need AI.

I build AI tools for Wisconsin businesses, sized to your budget and not the most expensive option out there. Then I stick around to keep them working.

Madison, illustrated, seen from Lake Monona The Capitol dome rises behind Monona Terrace across Lake Monona. A badger dressed in red fishes from an orange rowboat and reels in squeaky cheese curds. A plastic pink flamingo, the city's official bird, stands on the shore, ducks paddle past, and a sailboat with a cheese-wedge sail drifts across the lake. The sky follows the real time, sun, moon and season in Madison. Too tall! Squeak! Squeak!

How it works

A plan, a tool, and someone to keep it working.

  1. Assess

    We sit down and talk through how your business runs and where you want it to go. I find where AI fits your strategy, and where it doesn't.

  2. Build

    I build working tools that plug into how you already operate, so they support your goals instead of becoming one more thing to manage.

  3. Maintain

    A monthly retainer keeps your tool updated, fixed, and improving as AI changes. You're never left on your own with it.

What I build

Working tools, not reports about tools.

AI agents on your real work

An agent that handles a job across your apps, and asks before anything risky.

Tools on your own data

A small app that answers questions from your files, orders, or tickets, so your team stops digging.

Connectors for tools you already use

A connector lets the AI tools your team already uses, like ChatGPT or Claude, safely reach your own systems. I set up the logins and permissions so it only touches what it should.

Hi, I'm Ian.

I build AI agents in Madison, and I use them in my own work every day. Before this I spent twenty years making things for clients on deadline, so I know how to ship. I'll always tell you plainly what a build can and can't do.
