Setup AI

You just started something.

The clients are coming. The emails, the follow-ups, the invoices its already piling up. You know AI can help. You just havent had time to figure out how.

Your days already feel like this.

Everyones selling you AI tools.
Nobodys asking what you actually need.

A thousand tools. A million tutorials. And not a single one starts with your situation. Nobodys sat down with you, learned what youre building, and figured out which tools actually fit.

So where do you even start?

You dont need another article or YouTube video. You need someone to walk in, understand what youre building, and just make it work.

How it works

1

Listen

Fifteen minutes. You tell me what you’re building and what’s slowing you down. I tell you what I’d set up.

2

Build

I show up — in person or screen share — and set up the right tools around your actual workflow. You’re live the same day.

3

Run

Your AI handles the work. I stick around for 14 days to tune it. After that, I’m a call away.

Why Setup now

The people building the future arent waiting. Heres what theyre saying.

SDThe number of entrepreneurs is going to astronomically skyrocket from here on out… so it’s probably a good idea to make things for them.Avatar of John ChambersThere’s not been a technology since the internet with this broad of a scope. AI is going to move at five times the speed, with three times the outcome.Avatar of Sundar PichaiAI is a once in a lifetime technology.Avatar of Jensen HuangYou’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.Avatar of Satya NadellaThe hardest part of AI isn’t the tech. It’s getting people to change how they work.Avatar of Tobi LütkeUsing AI effectively is now a fundamental expectation. Stagnation is almost certain, and stagnation is slow-motion failure.Avatar of Marc AndreessenWe are witnessing an unprecedented technological takeoff where the price of intelligence is collapsing while demand is exploding.Avatar of Matt ShumerThe single biggest advantage you can have right now is simply being early.Avatar of Marc BenioffThe key to AI is above all else just getting going. If you want to win, you’ve got to play.Avatar of Lisa SuWe’re at the beginning of a wave. Dream big.Avatar of Mark CubanIf you’re not using AI to move faster or make smarter decisions, you’re behind. AI isn’t just a tool, it’s leverage.Avatar of Emad MostaqueEvery company has to implement it — not even have a strategy. Implement it.Avatar of Andrej KarpathyIt’s not easy to capture this value today. The field is so nascent that there’s no golden path.

Questions

Anyone who just started something — or is about to. Solo consultants, new practices, freelancers who just went independent, small teams scaling up. If you know you need AI tools but don’t know where to start, this is for you. Also: people who’ve been running a business for years and keep meaning to “figure out the AI thing.” Both are welcome. The starting point is the same — a conversation.

No. That’s actually the best time. Setting up the right tools from day one means you never build the habits that slow everyone else down. Most of my clients wish they’d done this sooner. Your first client shouldn’t see you scrambling — they should see someone who has their systems dialed.

No. That’s the whole point. I handle the technical side — you just tell me what’s not working. Most of my clients have never set up an AI tool before. You don’t need to know how it works. You just need to know what’s eating your time.

I sit down with you, learn what youre building and whats getting in the way, and figure out which AI tools actually fit. Then I set them up for you things like Granola for meeting notes, Wispr Flow for voice dictation, Claude Projects for templates, local AI assistants, or automations between your existing apps. It depends on what you need thats the whole point.

After the call, I pick the right AI tools for your workflow, set them up, wire them into your email and calendar, harden everything for security, and walk you through it all so you own it. Then I stick around for 14 days to tune it. In-person clients in Minneapolis — I come to you.

The first call is fifteen minutes. The setup itself is usually 5–8 hours across one or two sessions. Most people are live the same day. Bigger teams take longer.

Honest answer: AI tools with access to your email and calendar deserve serious security. I set up everything with audit trails, access controls, and full hardening. Your IT team can review the security audit before you go live — and re-run it anytime after.

Temporary access to your computer and the accounts you want connected — email, calendar, messaging, CRM. I use the minimum access needed, and I’ll walk you through rotating your credentials after we’re done.

If you try it for a week and it’s not helping, I’ll refund you. No questions. I’d rather have honest feedback than an unhappy client.

Every client gets a dedicated Slack channel with me and 14 days of tuning and support. After that, if you want someone keeping an eye on things new tools as they come out, fixes when something breaks thats AfterCare at $150/mo.

Yes. Common for teams of 4–50. I figure out which roles need their own tools and which can share workflows, then coordinate the rollout so everyone’s set up and nothing conflicts.

Security & your data

AI tools with access to your email and calendar deserve serious security. Here’s what I do for every setup:

  • Only the tools you approve can access your accounts — nothing runs without your say-so
  • Your data stays between you and the tools — nothing is exposed to the open internet
  • Each tool only has access to what it needs — no blanket permissions
  • Your passwords and keys are stored securely — never saved in plain text or shared with AI
  • No third-party plugins or unvetted code — everything is reviewed before it touches your system
  • Full security audit before I hand it off — you can re-run it anytime

Whos behind this

Im Liban. Im based in Minneapolis. I got into AI the same way most people do trying to fix my own chaos. I tried every tool, watched every tutorial, built a dozen workflows. Most of them didnt stick. The ones that did changed how I work.

Now I help other people skip the trial and error. I sit down, learn how someones day actually runs, and set up the right tools. Not the trendy ones. The ones that fit.

I believe a good consultant is closer to a mirror than a mechanic. Im not here to tell you what to do. Im here to help you see whats already there and then set it up so it runs.

Based in Minneapolis.
Available everywhere.
