Specification, delivery and setup dates agreed in your quote

We specify a local computer, set it up to run an AI model privately, install the model and hand it over to your staff. Useful for law, medical and dental offices with confidential work.

Equipment is priced in the written quote. We test the agreed workflow locally with cloud connections disabled, so its prompts and files stay in the building. Your office still controls access, physical protection and any later connections.

Not included: ongoing management, 24/7 support or legal advice. The machine itself is quoted.

We work alongside your IT provider.

What we do

Write your AI use policy, set up ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini, train your team and review cloud costs.

What your IT provider keeps

Sign-in protection (MFA), backups, antivirus and your cyber-insurance answers. If our check-up spots something on their side, we write it down for them; we do not change it.

How it works: you stay in control.

  1. Check-up

    Tell us what is slowing you down. We review your tools and write down the priorities.

  2. Plan

    You get a prioritized list and a written next step. No commitment to a bigger project.

  3. Fixed price

    Choose a package or a written quote: included work, subscriptions, timing and sign-off.

  4. Handover

    Settings, instructions and a staff session. Temporary access removed. Extra help is $125/hour.

Your accounts stay yours. We request only the access the project needs, you approve changes, and we test the agreed tasks together.

Give your team a useful skill, not another unused subscription.

Our $495 afternoon workshop is practical AI training for employees. Choose one platform and bring everyday tasks; we practice with sample information and leave your team with prompts they can reuse.

We focus on cloud and AI: advice, setup and the tools we build. Law offices are our first consulting focus; private AI machines are also an option for medical and dental offices. See help for small law offices ↗

Is our client data safe if we use ChatGPT?

There is no blanket guarantee. We help you use AI without exposing your customer or client data: choose an appropriate business account, check training and retention settings, restrict access, and agree what staff may enter. No-training terms do not mean no storage or no provider processing. Start with sample or de-identified information; your firm approves any use of confidential files.

Do I need Azure?

Usually not for everyday office AI. ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini on an appropriate business plan may be enough. We work with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and recommend the simplest fit for your work and budget.

Do you check what an AI tool does with our data?

Yes. Before setup we read the plan’s data terms: what is kept and for how long, whether it trains on your inputs, who can see them and how to delete them. You get a one-page plain-English summary. If a tool’s terms do not fit your work, we say so.

Is free Copilot Chat enough, or do we need paid Copilot?

Signed in with a work account, Copilot Chat already keeps your prompts out of Microsoft’s model training. The paid add-on reads your email and files. We help you decide whether that is worth it for your team. Sometimes the answer is to keep what you have.

Can you fill out our cyber-insurance questionnaire?

No. That belongs with your IT provider. We can explain what a question means.

Do you do IT support?

We provide project-based cloud and AI help and booked hours, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm Eastern. This is not a 24/7 help desk or emergency line. We set things up and hand over; your team or existing provider continues managing backups and security. We do not offer security or managed IT services.

Business-account data terms: OpenAI · Microsoft · Google. We check the selected plan and features before setup.

Start with the part that is costing you time.

In-person visits in Chesterfield, Midlothian and Richmond; remote anywhere in the U.S. Consulting is booked Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm Eastern. Your accounts stay yours.
