Choose what matters.

Sound familiar?
Plenty of AI tools. Still no clear next step.
You have seen what Claude and ChatGPT can do. Turning that into something useful for your own business is harder. You need help choosing a worthwhile task, working out how to approach it and checking the result.
Learn on your own work.
Use your tasks to work through prompts, instructions and repeatable workflows in Claude or ChatGPT.
Keep making progress.
Bring what you tried to the next fortnightly call. Review the result, work through what got stuck and agree your next steps.
An example, made tangible
From a question to a useful plan.
Bring a task you want to improve. Leave with instructions you can try and a way to check the result.
Illustrative demo · Your AI action plan
The question
“Can AI help me follow up after a customer call?”
- Choose the task
Start with a follow-up email. Use a sample call with private details removed.
- Try a useful instruction
“Using these notes, draft a short follow-up. List the actions we agreed. Flag anything unclear instead of guessing.”
- Check it on real work
Compare the draft with your notes. Check names, commitments and dates before you send it.

The person doing the work
Experienced help.
Without layers of agency overhead.
I’m Mac, a software engineer with 10 years of experience. I can help you understand what is worth doing, explain how to approach it and build the work we agree.
You speak directly with me. Clear advice, reasonable prices and one person who understands the work from the first conversation through to your next step.
Book Your ConsultationBefore we start
A few good questions.
Do I need any AI experience?
No. We can start with the basics and a task you already understand. You do not need a technical brief.
What do I get each month?
A call each fortnight, a prioritised plan, practical Claude or ChatGPT guidance, prompts and workflow instructions, and written next steps.
Is there a lock-in contract?
There is no lock-in. The service is A$1,195 per month + GST. Billing and cancellation arrangements are set out clearly before you start.
Will you build the software for me?
Consulting helps you choose and build with guidance. If you want me to develop a dashboard, integration or custom tool, we scope that separately at A$150/hour + GST.
Do I need paid AI tools?
That depends on the task. We discuss any subscriptions or usage costs before recommending them; they are separate from the consulting fee.
