An AI consultant for small business, without the enterprise theater
The short answer
For a business with one to thirty people, an AI consultant's job is to narrow the options: find the task costing you the most hours, check whether your current software already handles it, then set up one change and show you how to keep it running. Expect to pay a couple hundred dollars for a session or a written plan, and a few thousand a month only if you want someone else doing the work. Anything priced like an enterprise engagement is a different service than the one you're looking for.
What the work looks like
- Sit with how your week actually runs and find where the hours leak — calls, scheduling, billing, notes, follow-up.
- Check what your existing software already does before recommending anything new.
- Pick one starting point instead of a twelve-item roadmap, and say why it's first.
- Set it up, or write instructions clear enough that you or a staff member can.
- Tell you what to keep a person's eyes on before anything reaches a customer.
How to spot a bad fit
- They talk about transformation and can't name the specific task you'd stop doing on Monday.
- No price until a discovery call. A small engagement should have a number attached.
- The recommendation is the same for a plumber, a dentist, and a boutique.
- They want your customer or patient records in a general chatbot.
- The plan needs you to hire someone to keep it running.
