Describe a manual process that's eating your team's time. I'll tell you if AI can fix it — and how I'd approach it.
Sound familiar?
"Someone on my team spends half their day on work that shouldn't need a human"
"We answer the same customer questions 20 times a day"
"I know we're wasting time, I just can't pinpoint where"
Here's what I see
The next step is a conversation
Leave your info and I'll reach out to schedule a 15-minute call. No charge, no pitch — just a working session to dig into the problem.
Got it. I'll reach out within 24 hours to schedule a 15-minute call.
Real projects, real results
Field service company
Crews drove back to the office to build estimates on spreadsheets. Every quote took 30-45 minutes and delayed jobs.
On-site estimating tool — quotes now take under 5 minutes from any device.
Digital agency
50 website pages needed to be built or fixed. Manual process: 6-8 hours of repetitive copy-paste work.
Automated page factory — all 50 pages generated in 45 minutes.
Regional bank
No way to visualize marketing campaigns, billboards, and spend across dozens of branches.
Interactive map and dashboard pulling from existing spreadsheets — hours of reporting gone.

Claude Watkins — AI business consultant based in Chicago. 10 years running a marketing agency in the Windy City. Now building custom AI tools for small businesses across Chicagoland and Illinois. I don't advise — I diagnose the problem, build the solution, and hand it off.
Questions I get a lot
Not even a little. As a business AI consultant, most of my clients run service businesses — renovation crews, pest control companies, banks, churches, agencies. If you have employees doing repetitive work on a computer, AI can probably help. You don't need to know anything about how it works. That's my job.
Yes — and honestly, small businesses are where this work pays off the fastest. A 200-person company has IT departments and procurement processes. A 15-person company in Chicago can have a custom tool built and running in a few weeks. Less red tape, faster results, and the savings hit the bottom line right away.
Custom tools that fix specific problems. A field crew that needs to write estimates from a truck. A marketing team drowning in manual reporting. An office that re-types the same data into three different systems every morning. I find the slow, painful thing and build the tool that makes it disappear. No two projects look the same.
Because I'll come to your office. I'll watch your team work. I'll eat lunch in your break room. Big firms send a deck. I've lived in the Windy City my whole career — I know how Chicagoland businesses actually run, and I'd rather drive 40 minutes to see your operation than guess about it from a Zoom call.
Chicagoland is home base, but I've worked with businesses across Illinois and beyond. If you're within driving distance, I'll come on-site for the discovery session. Further out, we figure it out — most of the build work happens remotely anyway.
Bugs are covered for 30 days, no charge. After that, you own the code and the documentation completely — you can hire anyone to maintain it, or call me back for a fix. I don't lock anyone into a retainer. The whole point is that you stop depending on consultants, not start.
Off-the-shelf software makes you change how you work to fit the tool. I build the tool around how you already work. That's the whole difference. Your team doesn't have to learn a new system — the new system learns your system.
Every week you wait, your team is doing work a tool could handle.
