AI consulting · Across Ohio
AI Consulting — Ohio
AI strategy and implementation from an operator who actually builds the systems — not a workshop facilitator with a slide deck. Serving owners and leadership teams across Ohio.
AI consulting that ends in deployed systems
Across Ohio owners and leadership teams are being pitched AI from every direction. Most of it ends in a sandbox demo and a status update. I help you skip the theater: identify the use cases that actually move the business, prototype them against your real data, and ship them into production.
The work spans opportunity mapping, prototype, production build, integration, and the governance layer (evals, monitoring, cost guardrails, ownership). I build with the best model for the job — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open-source — depending on accuracy, cost, and privacy requirements.
Engagements cover sales call analysis, customer support augmentation, lead research and scoring, internal knowledge search, document extraction, voice agents, marketing content systems, and the operational AI work that quietly compounds over months.
- AI opportunity mapping against real workflows
- Use-case scoring: leverage, cost, risk, time to value
- Production builds: agents, copilots, RAG, automations
- Integration with CRM, support, internal data, email
- Evals, monitoring, prompt versioning, cost guardrails
- Team enablement so AI is owned internally
