AI coaching for Cornish businesses
I show small teams in Cornwall how to put AI to work as an extra pair of hands. Nobody gets replaced. You stay the skipper, and your people get their time back.

People first
Think of AI as a deckhand. It does the hauling and the fetching, and it works to your orders. Your people stay at the helm. They check its work, improve it and decide what happens next.
The aim is a better working week for the people you already have.
Nothing AI writes reaches a customer until someone on your team has approved it.
I teach your team to run it themselves, so you aren't tied to me or to one tool.
We list the jobs you and your team do each week and roughly how long each one takes.
You getA clear picture of where the time goesEach task is scored on time saved, ease and risk. We choose the three worth doing first.
You getA short, ranked action planWe build each workflow together and test it on real work until it does the job properly.
You getWorking AI workflows in tools you already haveI train your team, write each workflow up as a one-page playbook and agree simple rules for using AI safely.
You getPlaybooks, a prompt library and an AI use policyAfter 30 days we check what's being used, measure the time saved and fix anything that isn't working.
You getMeasured results and your next three winsIn practice
Typical workflows by type of business. The savings shown are illustrative. Yours come from your own task list.
Rough estimate
Move the sliders. The estimate assumes AI takes on a cautious one fifth of admin time.
Based on 46 working weeks. Time your team can spend on customers and skilled work. A starting point for our first conversation.

About
I've worked with computers since I was 14 and studied computer science at a university focused on AI research. I know how these tools work under the bonnet, so I know where they help and where they'll let you down.
Most AI advice is written for big companies in cities. Businesses here run differently: seasonal peaks, small teams doing several jobs each, and owners with no time for jargon. I live in Cornwall, I come to you, and I'll still be around next month when you have a question.
I don't sell software or take commission from tool providers. My advice is about what works for you and your team.

Questions
No, and that isn't what I do. I help your existing team hand over the repetitive admin so they have more time for customers and skilled work. A person on your team checks everything AI produces.
No. If you can send an email, you can use what we set up. Everything comes with a one-page playbook in plain English.
Whatever fits your business, usually ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini, plus the tools you already pay for. I'm independent, so I recommend the cheapest option that does the job.
Sometimes, with the right settings and the right tool. Every engagement includes a simple AI use policy that sets out what can and can't go in, in line with UK GDPR.
Anywhere in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, in person. Follow-up sessions can be online if that's easier.
Sometimes. The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Growth & Skills Hub runs grant schemes from time to time. I can point you to what's open when we talk.
