We Set Up AI
for businesses that don't
have time to figure it out.
A lead engineer with 15+ years shipping at Facebook / Reality Labs, Amazon, CDC, and NREL — now setting up AI agents, practical consulting, and hands-on training for companies that know AI matters but need a solution house to help turn it into useful work. You bring the problem. We help design and build the solution.
Website work still exists under the Web lane. The money focus is agents, consulting, and training. Website work stays available when it supports the solution.
Simple ways to start.
AI Agent Setup
Custom AI agents for the problem you bring us: SEO research, social campaigns, ad support, lead follow-up, customer questions, or internal admin.
- Scoped around your real business need
- Useful first version before deep integrations
- Human approval for anything risky
AI Workshops
Custom workshops for workplace teams, executives, leadership groups, engineering teams, and small businesses trying to use AI well.
- AI 101 for workplace teams
- AI strategy for executives
- AI for engineering teams
AI Consulting
We work with you to find the gaps AI can help solve, then recommend a practical next step without pretending every business needs the same tool.
- Business problem first
- Plain-English recommendation
- No-build calls when AI is not the answer
Websites
AI Facelift previews, simple sites, hosting, and web surfaces that support the agent or automation system.
- AI-guided website preview
- Simple site or facelift path
- Hosting and managed care options
Most teams have already tried.
"We've tried 5 different AI tools and none of them talk to each other."
"My team signed up for Copilot but nobody's actually using it."
"I know we're leaving money on the table but I don't have an engineer on staff."
"We need someone who can actually build this into our workflow, not just demo it."
Three steps. No mystery.
We talk.
Free 15-minute call or paid consulting session. We learn how your business actually runs — what's eating your time, where the bottlenecks are, what you've already tried.
We build it.
On-site or remote. We set up the agent, training, web surface, or implementation plan that fits the problem. Not demos — useful work with clear limits.
Your team runs with it.
We train your staff, document everything, and provide a support window after launch. You don't need to become a tech company — you just need your tools to work.
Small teams. Real businesses.
Built by an engineer, not a consultant.
I'm Jim Shepherd, a lead engineer with 15+ years solving hard software problems. Most of that at Facebook / Reality Labs and Amazon, building products that millions of people used.
I helped cure a disease with Android. Helped a national lab test new ideas. Got recognized for AI impact at Facebook / Reality Labs. Taught engineering teams how to use AI in real work. Now I run multiple businesses with AI every day — and I show up and solve problems for you instead of handing over a strategy deck and disappearing.
Questions, answered.
How much does this cost?
Every business is different. Initial consulting starts around $750, custom workshops start around $5,000, and agent setup pilots usually start around $3,500. Web previews still start at $99 under the Web lane. We give you a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does it take?
Most first useful versions are measured in days or a few weeks, depending on how many systems need to be touched. Workshops can happen faster; anything that touches customer systems needs scoped verification before launch.
Do I need to be technical?
No. That's the entire point. We handle the technical work and train your team to use what we build.
Will AI replace my staff?
No. It makes them faster. The goal is to eliminate the repetitive work so your team can focus on what actually needs a human.
What if it doesn't work?
Every engagement has a clearly defined scope. We deliver against that scope, verify it's working, and provide a support window after setup.
