[ 001 ] AI FOR BUSINESS · LOMPOC, CA

BUSINESS-FIRST. NO JARGON. NO BLOAT.

Practical AI for Lompoc businesses.

Lompoc has a diverse economy spanning agriculture, federal employment tied to Vandenberg Space Force Base, and a growing wine tourism corridor. Small businesses here benefit from tools that work without dedicated IT staff.

We build useful tools that fit your existing workflows. Not a platform transformation, not a six-month project. Starts with a free AI audit. No commitment beyond.

[ 003 ]HOW IT WORKS

Start free. Build only what's worth it.

No retainer required to get started. The free audit tells you what's worth fixing. A conversation tells us whether we're the right fit. Everything after that is scoped and priced before any work begins.

01 / FREE

Audit

Run the free AI audit on your website. You get a scored report covering your online presence, AI readiness, automation opportunities, and three quick wins — in under a minute.

Instant · no form call · yours to keep

02 / FREE

Conversation

We follow up after the audit — a short email thread or a 20-min call, your choice. You tell us what's actually eating your week. We figure out together whether there's a build worth doing and what it would cost.

Email or call · your pick · no charge

03 / PAID

Build

If there's a clear problem and a clear solution, we scope a fixed-price build. You see the price before any work starts. One tool, one workflow, fully yours when it ships.

If you want someone to keep the tools running, update models as they improve, and add light builds as you grow — that's the Operator retainer. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.

[ LOCAL ]WHO WE SERVE IN LOMPOC

Common builds: automated job application tracking and onboarding paperwork for government contractors, harvest logistics and buyer communication tools for agricultural producers, and tasting room reservation and follow-up workflows for the wine corridor. The federal employment base creates a steady consumer market — local B2C businesses benefit most from retention and repeat-visit automation.

[ 006 ]FAQ

The questions that always come up.

No catch. The AI audit runs automatically against your website and gives you a real scored report with specific findings. We follow up because some percentage of people want help acting on it — that's how we get clients. But the report is yours either way, and the follow-up conversation costs you nothing.

That's a perfectly good Audit outcome and it happens. If the right answer is "you need a checklist, not an agent" or "fix your CRM hygiene before adding tooling," that's what the deliverable says. We'd rather lose the upsell and keep the trust than build something that won't move the business.

Yes. Every tool lives in your accounts (your Google Workspace, your Anthropic/OpenAI key, your Airtable, etc.) under your credentials. We don't put anything between you and the AI provider.

Usually $50–$500/month per tool, depending on usage. We'll give you cost estimates in the Audit before you commit to anything, and we use the cheapest model that gets the job done, not the most impressive one.
