AI that actually works in your business. Built and maintained by a human.

We walk into your business, figure out what's eating your week, and build AI systems that make sense for how you actually work. Then we hand you the keys and stick around when stuff breaks.

Who we work with

If you're running a business where the admin is slowly eating the work, we can probably help.

The Shadow Day Method

You can't automate what you don't understand. We start by watching.

Step 1

Shadow Day

We spend a few hours with you or someone on your team. On-site or on video. We're not there to fix anything yet. We watch. We listen. We capture everything — the clicks, the context-switches, the "I hate this part," the 14 browser tabs, the copy-paste gymnastics.

Step 2

The Teardown

We take the recording back to our desk and run it through a rigorous analysis. Every task gets classified: what can AI fully automate, what needs a human in the loop, and what should absolutely stay human. You get a prioritized list of biggest wins first.

Step 3

The Proposal

We come back and show you where your day actually goes. We show you what we recommend building, what it'll cost, and what you'll get back. You say yes or no. No pressure, no upsell, no 40-slide deck.

Step 4

The Build

We build the systems on your stack. We test everything with fake data, then with real data. We write plain-English "how to use it" docs that your team will actually read.

Step 5

The Handover

We come back and train your team. We don't leave until the person who will use it every day feels confident. We teach one or two people on your team to be the internal owner so you're not dependent on us forever.

Step 6

The Partnership

Stuff breaks. New needs come up. Business changes. We stay on call to fix what breaks, build what's next, and find the next biggest win with you on a monthly check-in.

One thing we need to say out loud

We don't build AI to replace your team.

We build it so the people you already have can stop drowning in the boring stuff and get back to the work only humans can do.

Every Shadow Day ends with a recommendation to train one or two people on your team to become the internal AI operator. They learn how the system works, how to tweak it, how to spot new automation opportunities, and when to call us versus handle it themselves.

That person's role evolves from "the one drowning in paperwork" to "the one who owns how we use AI here." Their job gets more interesting, not eliminated. Your team gets smarter. The work that's left is the work humans are actually good at.

If you're looking for a consultant to help you cut headcount, we're not that. If you're looking for one to help you get more out of the team you already have, let's talk.

Who's behind this

Hi, I'm Matt Bauer. I've spent ten years running a video production business filming professional speakers. Sixty-plus clients, all word of mouth. Along the way I had to build my own systems just to keep up with the admin, and I got really good at making AI do the boring stuff so I could focus on the work that actually mattered.

Then my wife asked if I could help her team at work. She's a director at a therapy practice, drowning in paperwork she couldn't delegate because of client privacy rules. I spent a weekend building them a private, compliant AI setup that turned hour-long tasks into four-minute ones.

That's when I realized every business owner I know has this problem in a different flavor. Solo operators, small teams, small practices — all sitting on hours of weekly work that AI could handle if someone just set it up right and stuck around to maintain it.

So now I do this too. I come in, watch how your business actually works, build the systems, hand you the keys, and stay on call when stuff breaks. That's it. No jargon, no 40-slide decks, no "AI transformation roadmaps." Just the thing that works.

Let's figure out if this could actually help you.

45 minutes. Free. No sales pitch. Just useful.
