The AI machines are dazzling, tireless, and haven’t the faintest idea what your business needs. That part still takes a person — one who’ll learn your work, set the AI up right, and teach your people to run it. That’s the job. That’s me.
More than half of small businesses have tried AI. Only about 1 in 5 have it doing real, ongoing work. The gap isn’t interest — it’s not knowing how it applies to your business specifically. That’s where an AI Guide matters.
Five real small-business situations. Pick the response that makes sense to you — then see how you did.
You don’t need to become an AI expert. You need a guide — someone who makes this make sense for your business specifically. That’s what an AI Jumpstart is: one real problem, solved in plain english.
Get your AI jumpstartA focused working session for you and your team. I audit your business, get one real AI win live before we’re done, and leave your people knowing how to use it — not just watching me.
I build the whole thing — a chatbot, a connected workflow, a system that used to be manual — set up right, tested, and documented. Then I train your staff to run it and hand you the keys.
Me on retainer. As the tools change and your business grows, I keep your AI sharp, coach your team, and stay one call away. No figuring it out alone.
A quick, no-jargon conversation about your business and where AI could actually save you time or money — and where it can’t.
I set up the tools, test them on your real work, and document everything, so nothing about it stays a mystery.
I train your people, hand over the keys, and stick around as much or as little as you need going forward.
For a Louisville nonprofit, I built and deployed a chatbot for their recovery program’s intake page. It’s been live since February 2024 — no downtime, no drama — and has handled 129 real conversations: greeting visitors, capturing name and email, answering their actual question, and handing warm leads straight to the intake team. That’s not a demo. That’s been quietly working for a year and a half.
— a real, ongoing client engagement
I’m Mike Gruber. For three decades I’ve built marketing that works for small and medium businesses, studios, and nonprofits around Louisville, and the country— copywriting, video, websites, whole campaigns.
When AI arrived, I did the unglamorous part: learned it, used it on real client work, and figured out what genuinely helps versus what’s just noise. Now I bring that to you — the right tools, set up properly, with your people confident enough to keep going.
I under-promise and over-deliver. Always have.
One plain-english AI move you can use, most weeks. Free — no hype, no jargon, just what’s actually working.
