AI for a small business? Fair questions.

“Would this actually help us?”

A sensible place to start. We can look at your work, try a small example and decide whether there’s enough value to go further.

Ask me your question

Free first conversation · Paid work agreed in advance

Will it help?

Can I trust it?

Can I afford it?

Can I learn it?

Before we begin

Good questions.

Why pay someone when I can ask AI?

You may be able to work it out yourself. My help is in understanding your particular task, testing an approach with you and teaching you to recognise a usable result.

Is there a big commitment?

We agree a bounded piece of paid work in advance. You can book further help when it’s useful.

How much does it cost?

The initial conversation is free. I’ll quote for the sessions or work we agree, including any tool costs we identify.

What happens in the first conversation?

Tell me what you do and what you would like to make easier. We’ll explore whether a practical session would help. This initial conversation is free; any paid work is agreed separately.

What do I leave with?

For an agreed practical session, the aim is a worked example, reusable guidance and a chance to practise yourself. We choose the specific outcome before starting.

A few places we could begin

You don’t need to be convinced before we talk.

What if it gets things wrong?

We practise checking the output against material you trust.

What if I already use ChatGPT?

Bring something you’ve struggled with. We can look at the task, your instructions and how you judge the answer.

What if we don’t need it?

Then that is a useful result of the conversation.

How we might work together

Name the problem

Try a small example

Decide if it earns its place

We choose a suitable task and agree the session, cost and materials before paid work starts.

What you take away

A clearer sense of what is useful for your business and what you can leave alone.

Practical guidance from Rick Hallett. We use your business knowledge, available tools and a task that matters to you.
