Grounded AI Advice
The ongoing filter for what is real and what is hype. What works, not what is hot.
Every month brings a new tool that promises to run your business for you. Most of it is noise. Some of it is genuinely useful, and knowing which is which shouldn’t require you to become a researcher. This is that filter, on call: a straight answer on what AI can and cannot do for your shop, grounded in what works, not what’s hot.
The questions this answers
- “My point-of-sale vendor is selling an AI add-on for $200 a month. Is it worth it?”
- “Can I use ChatGPT to write my estimates? My emails? My review replies?”
- “A salesman told me I need an AI chatbot on my website. Do I?”
- “Everyone at the trade show was talking about AI agents. Is there anything real in it for a shop my size?”
The answers come back in plain language, sized to your business, and sometimes the answer is “skip it, keep the money.” That’s the point.
How it’s different from the Assessment
The Automation Assessment is a one-time diagnostic: walk your processes once, hand you a map. This is the ongoing version: a standing line to someone who watches this space so you don’t have to, and who isn’t paid by any tool vendor to tell you yes.
What it costs
No package price yet, honestly, because the right shape depends on the business: some owners need one call a quarter, some want a question answered the week it comes up. Say what you’re dealing with and we’ll find the shape that fits. It starts with a conversation, not an invoice.
