AI consulting for San Antonio small businesses
A straight read on where AI actually helps your business and where it doesn't — in plain English, on your real operation, with a number on every pain before we propose anything. Then, if it's worth building, we build it and run it.
The FORGE Workshop
Two sessions. First, an hour on the AI landscape in plain English — where it is ready for a business like yours and where it isn't. Then a two-hour live working session on your business: where it bleeds time and money, and what a system could actually move.
The fee credits toward a Blueprint if you continue within 60 days. In person anywhere in the San Antonio–New Braunfels area at no extra travel charge.
The Blueprint
A written plan, presented live: three to five recommendations at most, each with an honest return-on-investment line and the reason it made the list. Quoted before we start, by the size of your team and how many processes we're mapping. You own the document — take it to anyone.
The build
Each recommendation is quoted on its own, at a fixed price — never hourly — with the success criteria agreed before we start. Most of what we build is ordinary, dependable software that does the same thing every time; AI only steps in where it is genuinely needed. Afterward we can run it for you, or hand you the keys.
Five stages, every time
- Find. Map where the business bleeds time and money — repeated tasks, missed calls, manual handoffs.
- Outline. If you rebuilt this operation today knowing what AI can do, how would it work?
- Rebuild. Build against your real tools and data, verified against criteria a human signs off.
- Guard. Each system gets the minimum access to do its job and physically can’t do anything else.
- Evolve. Watch it, fix misses at the root, report against the numbers from Find.
What we won’t recommend
No generated art or images. Nothing that pretends to be a human. Nothing that trains on your work or your customers' data. And no AI where a plain piece of software would do the job better — when that's the answer, we'll say so.
Want to see what that looks like in practice? Our AI receptionist is built that way, and the proof page lets you try to break it.
List prices, and a founding rate
Those are list prices. A founding-client rate exists on every engagement while we build out the public case-study wall — ask about it.
Start with the Workshop. If it doesn’t show you something worth doing, you’ve spent $750 to find out — not a retainer.
