AI consulting for small and mid-size businesses

Put AI to work in your business.

Most businesses have tried AI and ended up with a smarter search bar. We help you find where AI actually pays off, build it into the way your team already works, and get real work done with it: the inbox, the reports, the proposals, the follow-ups. Strategy, implementation, and training, start to finish. No engineering team required.

Strategy
Find the work worth handing to AI first.
Build
AI running real workflows, not a pilot that stalls.
Train
Your team using it every day, with confidence.
Tune
Measured, improved, and expanded over time.

An AI strategy only matters if work gets done.

Plenty of firms will hand you a slide deck about the future of AI. We start with your actual week: where the hours go, what keeps piling up, what only gets done because you stay late. Then we put AI on that work and stay with it until it runs.

AI strategy

We map your workflows, rank them by hours and dollars, and give you a clear roadmap: what AI should take on first, what can wait, and what should stay human. Plain language, no hype.

Implementation

We build it and wire it into the tools you already use: email, calendar, CRM, files, spreadsheets. AI that reads, drafts, sorts, researches, and reports, then hands your team a finished result to review.

Adoption

Tools nobody uses are expensive. We train your people on their own work, write the playbooks, and keep tuning so AI becomes part of how the business runs, not a novelty that fades.

Where AI is getting work done.

These are the kinds of jobs we put AI on for businesses. Not someday. This is work AI handles well right now, with a person reviewing and approving the result.

Inbox triage

AI reads the pile, flags what actually needs you, drafts replies in your voice, and files the rest. You approve and hit send.

Hours back every week

Proposals and quotes

Hand it your notes or a call transcript and it drafts the proposal from your past work, in your format, ready to review.

Hours become minutes

Weekly numbers, digested

It pulls the week's numbers from your systems and drafts a Monday-morning digest with the anomalies flagged.

No spreadsheet spelunking

Spreadsheets and analysis

Point it at raw data and describe what you need. It cleans the data, builds the sheet, runs the analysis the way you want it, and writes the summary.

Same method every time

Documents and paperwork

Contracts reviewed and flagged, vendor and new-hire paperwork checked against your standards, PDFs summarized, everything filed correctly.

The file mess, handled

An assistant that knows your business

Built on your SOPs, handbook, and FAQs. Your team asks it instead of asking you, and every answer cites its source.

Stop being the bottleneck

Lead research and follow-up

Web forms scored, prospects researched, briefs written before you pick up the phone, and follow-ups drafted so nothing slips.

More time on real deals

Marketing at scale

Social posts, review replies, and local content in your voice, written for every location you serve and queued for approval.

One person, many locations

Invoices and collections

It watches what's unpaid and drafts polite, escalating reminders on the schedule you choose. You stop being the awkward one.

Get paid faster

We run our own businesses this way.

Leversmith was started by Mike Hall, an entrepreneur who runs marketing companies and puts AI to work inside them every day. Nothing we recommend is theory. We use it first.

600+ offices, one team

For a national marketing program covering more than 600 offices, AI finds what's happening in each local market, drafts location-specific social posts, and queues them for scheduling. A job that would take a room full of writers.

A briefing before breakfast

Every morning at 6 AM, AI reads the email, tasks, and calendar and assembles one page: what needs attention today, who to follow up with, and what's coming next. A personal assistant that's ready before you are.

Systems that remember

The difference between AI that helps once and AI that works every week is structure: your procedures, your standards, and your past work, organized so AI produces the same quality output over and over. That structure is what we build.

Live examples, running right now.

How an engagement works.

Simple, standardized, and built to get AI working on real tasks quickly. You see the plan and the price before anything starts.

Step 1

Free strategy call

Twenty minutes on how your business runs and where time is leaking. You leave with a few concrete ideas whether or not we work together.

Step 2

AI audit and roadmap

We walk through your workflows with you and your team, score each one by time saved and risk, and agree on what to build first and how we'll measure it.

Step 3

Build and launch

We connect AI to your tools, build the first workflows around your real data, test them against your real work, and launch once they perform the way you'd want.

Step 4

Train, tune, and expand

Your team learns to use and review it. We track the results, adjust what needs adjusting, and add the next workflow on the roadmap.

Who we work with.

Honest up front. We're a great fit for some businesses and the wrong call for others. Here's how to tell.

A strong fit if
  • You own or run a small or mid-size business. Owner-operators and lean leadership teams get the most leverage, because every hour AI takes back is an hour you or your payroll get back.
  • Your team is buried in repetitive work. Email, reports, proposals, scheduling, data entry, follow-ups. If it happens every week, AI can probably take a big piece of it.
  • You've tried AI and it didn't stick. A few chats, a few subscriptions, nothing that changed how the business runs. That gap between trying and using is exactly what we close.
  • You want results, not a research project. You'd rather see AI doing real work in weeks than read a report about what it might do someday.
Probably not a fit if
  • You want custom software built. We put AI to work on everyday business tasks. We are not an app development shop.
  • You want a strategy deck and nothing else. Our recommendations come with the build. If you only want a report for the shelf, there are firms better suited to that.
  • You expect to replace your team overnight. AI takes the repetitive work off your people so they can do more of what matters. It works best with a person reviewing the output.

Not sure which side you're on? Book a free 20-minute call and we'll tell you straight.

We don't hide the engine.

You should know exactly what's doing the work in your business and who holds the keys.

Most of what we build runs on Claude, Anthropic's AI, including Claude Cowork, which can work with your files, connect to your email, calendar, and other apps, and carry out multi-step tasks from start to finish. It asks before it touches an app, and you can watch every move and stop it anytime.

That's the shift. For years, AI that could actually run a business process was locked behind engineers and six-figure budgets. Today that capability is within reach of an office manager, an accounting firm, or a twelve-person agency. Work that used to require a new hire can often be handled by a well-built AI workflow and one person reviewing it.

Here's the honest part: the tool is not the outcome. A powerful tool with no plan sits idle. Our job is the craft around it: what to automate first, how to set it up so the output is right every time, how to check its work, and how to build on it month after month. The AI is the steel. We do the smithing.

Frequently asked.

The questions owners bring to the first call. If yours isn't here, email us. Honest answers, no jargon.

What does an AI consultant actually do?
We figure out where AI will save your business real time and money, then we make it happen. That means mapping your workflows, choosing the right tools, building and connecting the AI to your systems, training your team, and tuning it as you go. You get working results, not just advice.
We're not technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of the businesses we talk to don't have an IT department, let alone an engineer. We handle the technical side. Your team works with AI in plain English, the same way they'd explain a task to a new hire.
How fast will we see results?
We start with the workflow that will pay off fastest, so the goal is AI doing real work within the first few weeks, not months. Bigger changes roll out one workflow at a time after that, each measured against where you started.
What does it cost?
The strategy call is free. After that, pricing depends on how much you want AI handling, and you'll see a clear, fixed number before you commit. No hidden hours, no surprise invoices. The one separate cost is the AI subscription itself, which is usually modest and paid directly to the provider, not to us.
Is our business data safe?
Everything runs in your own accounts, under your own logins. You hold the keys, not us. We also set sensible guardrails from day one: what AI can connect to, what it can't, and where a person reviews its work before anything goes out the door.
Will AI replace my people?
That's not how we use it. AI takes the repetitive, draining work off your team so they can spend their time on customers, judgment calls, and growth. The businesses that do best treat AI as a capable assistant for every person, with a human still making the decisions.
Can you train our team?
Yes. Training is built into every engagement, and we also run standalone workshops, in person or over Zoom, where your team leaves with AI running real pieces of their actual jobs. And if anyone on your team wants to keep learning on their own, our free online class is open to them.
Do you do speaking engagements?
We do. Keynotes and sessions for events, associations, and leadership teams on what AI actually does for businesses today. Practical, live demos, zero hype. Email us with your date and audience.
