The lay of the land

The map changed this year.

Work that once took a hired firm and months can now take days.

The hard part isn’t the tools. It’s knowing where to start, and what to skip. We’ll tell you plainly when AI isn’t the fit.

The winding route, a hired firm, takes months. The straight route, now, takes days.

No. 1Teach meLocal sheetrock contractor

Off QuickBooks, on his own terms.

His old QuickBooks held his books hostage. In a two-hour session we showed him how to build his own simple invoicing system with AI: customers, PDF invoices, marked paid, sent through Outlook. He’s off QuickBooks now.

No. 2AdvisorLetterpress studio

Snap a SKU, the label prints.

A letterpress studio owner, never a programmer, built an app her packer uses every day: snap the SKU, and the shipping label prints. I was her occasional advisor, the person she calls to pick my brain.

There are more jobs like this out there, in warehouses, shops and back rooms all over the Valley.
