What I Do

Practical help, not tech hype.

Most AI tools already work remarkably well for small businesses. The hard part is knowing which ones to use and how to fit them into your day. That's where I come in.

Save hours every week

Drafting emails, writing quotes, answering the same questions, researching suppliers — AI handles most of this faster than you can. I'll show you exactly how to set it up for your business.

Think bigger, stress less

AI is a sharp thinking partner when you need to plan, research, or work through a problem. Better decisions in less time — and you won't have to pay a consultant $300 an hour for it.

No tech required

If you can send a text or search Google, you can use these tools. I teach you at your pace, in plain English, with no assumption that you know what a "prompt" or "API" is.

How It Works

Three steps, zero pressure.

We talk

A free, relaxed conversation about your business. Tell me what takes up too much of your time, what you dread doing, and what you wish you could hand off. No pitch deck, no upsell.

I find the fit

Based on your actual workflow, I identify the tools and techniques that make sense for you specifically — not a generic list of AI apps you'll never use.

You take it from there

I walk you through exactly how to use them, answer every question, and follow up to make sure they're actually working. You end up with habits that stick.

A Note From Me

A neighbor, not a tech company.

I'm Ricky Jones, and I live right here in Swansboro. I got into this because I kept seeing local business owners work themselves to exhaustion on tasks that AI could handle in seconds — and I realized nobody was showing them how.

I'm not a startup, not a software company, and I'm not going to send you a monthly invoice for a dashboard you never check. My job is to show you something useful, make sure it works for you, and get out of the way.

Most of my clients are surprised how simple this stuff turns out to be. The first conversation is free, there's no commitment, and if I don't think AI will genuinely help your business I'll tell you that too.
