Calm, useful AI for small teams.

I find the one or two jobs where AI saves your team real hours, build the tool, and train your people to use it well. Written scope, fixed price, working build in weeks.

Sound familiar?

You know AI could help. You're not sure where to start.

  • You tried a few AI tools. None of them stuck.
  • A chatbot gave a customer a confident, wrong answer.
  • Someone still spends Friday copying numbers from one system to another.
  • You're not sure where your data goes once it's pasted in.

The fix starts small: one job handed off, checked, and working before anything else.

A calmer way in

Start with the work, not the tool.

I'm Kevin Davidson. I ran payroll and HR systems for years before I built software full time, so I know what a Friday of copy-paste feels like. I'll look at how your team actually works, find the one or two jobs where AI pays for itself, and tell you straight when it doesn't.

The path

From first call to working tool in weeks.

  1. 01

    A free AI audit

    A short call on what you're trying to fix, then a written plan you keep. Sometimes the honest answer is that you don't need AI for it.

  2. 02

    Scope in writing

    One page: what I'll build, the price, and the date. Anything new later gets its own quote.

  3. 03

    Demo in week one

    You see it working early, while changing direction is still cheap.

  4. 04

    A handoff you keep

    You own it, with tests and a short how-to. A monthly check-in is there if you want one.

What we might build

Six jobs AI does well for small teams.

Most first projects are one of these, sized so you can see the finish line on day one.

01

An assistant that knows your business

Answers customer or staff questions from your own information, stays inside your rules, and hands off to a person when it should.

02

Answers from your own files

Ask your manuals, policies, or shared drive a question and get the answer with the source attached.

03

Busywork that runs itself

The weekly copy-paste, the inbox sort, the report someone rebuilds by hand, connected to the tools you already use.

04

Paperwork into clean data

Invoices, receipts, and forms turned into spreadsheet-ready data, with shaky results flagged for a person to check.

05

AI inside your software

For teams with their own app: Claude or ChatGPT built in, plus connectors so your app works inside those assistants.

06

Training for your team

Hands-on sessions on your team's real work, so people use Claude and ChatGPT well and safely.

Proof of work

I run my own AI product.

Pantry Persona is an AI kitchen assistant I built solo. It plans meals, tracks the pantry, and builds shopping lists for real households. I built every part: the app, sign-in, billing, and the tests behind the AI.

Client work uses the same pieces: answers grounded in your own data, and tests that catch the AI when it's wrong.
