AI that takes work off your plate. And a team that can run it.

I help small businesses find the work that shouldn't need a person, rebuild it around AI inside the tools they already pay for, and train the team to run it. There are three ways to work together, depending on where you are.

Three ways to work together

Start where it makes sense for you.

The signature program

Yours to Run

Most AI projects stall when the consultant leaves. Yours to Run is built the other way around. From day one, the goal is a system your team runs without me.

Four steps, in order. You can stop after any of them and keep everything done so far.

01

Find

We start with an Opportunity Audit. I go through how your business runs day to day, look at the six kinds of work where hours usually disappear, and tell you which processes are worth rebuilding and which aren't. You get a written plan, ranked by return.

02

Rebuild

I redesign the first process around AI and build it inside the tools you already have. That's usually one workflow done properly, not ten half-finished experiments, and you see it doing real work within weeks.

03

Train

Your team learns how it works, how to check it, and how to change it. Training happens on the system itself, using your real work, so it sticks.

04

Hand over

You get the documentation, the logins and the know-how. Everything lives in your accounts, and nothing depends on me.

Ongoing support, if you want it

Some owners want someone keeping an eye on things, or building the next item on the plan. There are two levels: Advisory, a monthly strategy session plus quick answers when you need them, and Hands-on, where I keep building while your team runs what's live. Both are priced for small businesses, and you get a written quote. You can stop at any time and keep everything.

What I build

The kind of thing that comes out of a project.

These are examples of common builds, not client case studies. Every project starts with how your business actually works.

Work that gets written

Quote and proposal drafts

Your notes from a site visit or a call go in. A draft quote in your format and your voice comes out, ready for you to check and send.

Work that waits

A first reply to every inquiry

Every new inquiry gets a helpful reply within minutes, is logged in your CRM, and lands on the right person's list with a reminder to follow up.

Work that answers

An assistant for common questions

Hours, price ranges, policies and job status, answered from your own information, with a person stepping in whenever it matters.

Work that's entered twice

One form that fills every system

A customer fills in one form, and the details land in your CRM, your spreadsheet and your invoicing tool without anyone retyping them.

Work that repeats

Reports that put themselves together

The numbers you pull every Monday are gathered, summarized and sent to you, with anything unusual flagged at the top.

Work everyone does differently

Your playbook, written down

How your best person does the job, captured as clear steps and an internal assistant that new hires can ask.

Is this a fit?

Who this works for, and who it doesn't.

A good fit

  • Small businesses with roughly 1 to 30 people, real customers and processes already in place
  • Owners who feel the week disappearing into admin, follow-up and retyping
  • Teams that have tried ChatGPT or Copilot but haven't changed how the work gets done
  • Businesses that want to own what gets built, not rent it
  • Anyone who wants plain English and a straight answer on whether AI is worth it yet

Probably not a fit

  • Anyone hoping AI will run the business for them
  • Businesses still looking for their first customers. Start with sales, not systems.
  • Owners who want something installed with nobody inside the business involved
  • Projects that need large-scale custom software engineering
Your options

Three ways to get AI into a small business.

Each one works. They just suit different budgets and different stages.

Option 1

Hire someone

A full-time AI or automation hire means a salary, benefits and months of ramp-up. Their knowledge also walks out the door if they leave.

Option 2

Commission a custom build

Agencies can build almost anything, but large custom projects take months, cost a lot, and are often hard for a small team to change afterwards.

Option 3

Yours to Run

Experienced help for the length of the project, built in tools you already pay for, with your own team trained to run it. When it's done, it's yours.

Who you'd work with

Michael Alos

I grew up in my family's manufacturing shop, then spent 28 years implementing systems inside large companies, including building an internal AI capability at a Fortune 200.

That taught me the part most AI projects skip. The technology is rarely the hard bit. Fitting it into how the work actually runs, and getting people to use it, is. That's the work I do for small businesses now.

Questions

Common questions

How long does a Yours to Run project take?

Most first projects run a few weeks from audit to handover. We build one thing properly first, so you can see it working before deciding on the next.

What does it cost?

It depends on what we build. The intro call is free. After the Opportunity Audit you get a written scope and price before any build work starts, so there are no surprises.

Do we have to change the software we use?

Not unless it's the right call. If what you already pay for can do the job, we use it. If it can't, you'll hear why before anything changes.

What happens to our data?

It stays in tools and accounts you control. I pick models and settings that don't train on your data, and we agree how anything sensitive is handled before I touch it.

What if we only want advice?

That's what the Advisory level of support is for: a monthly strategy session and quick answers while your own team does the building.

Can you train our team without a project?

Yes. Team training stands on its own. See team AI training for formats and what people leave with.
