Ohio businesses we've worked with
Not a tool. Not a subscription. A system that answers your website leads, takes the scheduling and follow-up busywork off your team, and reports back in plain English. Built by someone who spent 20 years inside a Fortune 15 company and knows what it takes to make AI actually work.
Serving Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron, plus clients across the country.
Ohio businesses we've worked with
Every path leads to the same place: a business that runs smarter, captures the leads it was missing, and handles the busywork automatically, without adding headcount.
AI is only as good as the data behind it, so it is one job here, not two. Bring me on as your fractional AI and data contractor: I scope the work to your business, build it, and run it, with you in the driver's seat. If the business needs a website rebuild, that happens inside the same contract.
Not ready to bring anyone on? The Playbook walks you through setting up an AI assistant that knows your business, on your own time.
Most agencies show you a logo grid of software they have accounts with. This is the actual path a piece of work takes through our system, in order. The models write their output back into the vault, which is why it is a loop and not a list.
The stack together
01Knowledge
Our second brain. Everything about the business, clients, processes, and goals lives in one structured vault. AI reads it and writes back to it, which is what makes it an organizational memory instead of a pile of notes.
Where the loop starts and ends
02Automation
The plumbing. Scheduled jobs move data between systems, trigger AI actions, process form submissions, and keep everything in sync. Every pipeline is plain code we own, so there is nothing we cannot inspect, fix, or extend.
Takes the knowledge somewhere
03Runtime
Where the work actually lives in production. Applications on Cloud Run, data in Cloud Storage, jobs that wake on a schedule. Enterprise-grade infrastructure that scales when it needs to and costs almost nothing when it does not.
Keeps it running without a laptop open
04Reasoning
One reasoning layer, not two vendors. Claude handles the complex reasoning, writing, and building. GPT and Codex cover fast drafting and code generation. Whichever model is better at the job gets the job, and the output goes back into the vault.
Closes the loop back to Obsidian
We build and manage custom AI systems for small businesses nationwide. We become your AI department: building the systems, running the automation, and reporting back in plain English so you can focus on the work only you can do.
Pioneer works one way: you bring me on as your fractional AI and data contractor. About half a day a week is $3,500 a month, and about a day a week is $7,000 a month. Flat monthly, never hourly, with a written plan each quarter of what lands next. No long-term contract. Either side can end it with 30 days' notice. I take two clients at a time. See pricing.
Custom work is not quoted separately. AI and data work is too custom for packages, so automations, dashboards, models, and a website rebuild when your business needs one all happen inside the fractional contract, scoped with you. You own everything we build, with no vendor lock-in.
Established local businesses of every kind, nationwide. Home services and trades (HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical), health and wellness (dental, veterinary, chiropractic, physical therapy), personal care and fitness (salons, spas, gyms), professional services (law, accounting, insurance, real estate), restaurants, and more. If you are busy enough that the phone and the admin have become a strain, we can help.
Yes: free, 45 minutes, and genuinely useful. You'll walk away with clarity on your AI opportunity and honest guidance on whether Pioneer is the right fit. No pitch. No pressure. Book directly from the calendar below.
Answer Engine Optimization structures your website so AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business by name when potential customers ask relevant questions. Every Pioneer build includes AEO from day one; most agencies aren't doing this yet.
This isn't a sales call. It's a working session. I'll map your business, identify where AI and data can actually help, and tell you honestly whether Pioneer is the right fit for you right now.
No slides. No pitch deck. I map your business live, identify your biggest AI opportunity, and give you a straight answer on whether Pioneer is the right fit for you right now.
