AI Automation in Spokane, WA

Automate the repeated, painful work that's eating your team's week. I find the workflow that pays for itself fastest and ship working software in 30 days — proven on your real data before you commit to scaling it.

What I automate

The work that's repeated, painful, and costing you money.

If a person on your team does the same thing every week by hand, it's a candidate. These are the AI automation workflows Spokane and Inland Northwest businesses ask for most.

Lead follow-up & routing

Stop letting inquiries fall through the cracks. Automatic triage, instant replies, and routing to the right person before a competitor calls them back.

Document handling & extraction

Pull the numbers off invoices, contracts, forms, and PDFs and drop them into your systems — without a person retyping them.

Reports & dashboards

The weekly report someone rebuilds by hand every Monday, generated automatically and on time, every time.

Customer & patient comms

Reminders, intake, follow-ups, and FAQs handled consistently, with a human in the loop where it matters.

Scheduling & intake

Booking, qualification, and intake that runs itself and hands your team a clean, ready-to-work queue.

Back-office data entry

The copy-paste-between-systems work that quietly burns hours. Automated, with better accuracy than a tired human at 4pm.

How it works

Prove the fix before you scale it.

01

Automation audit

One to two weeks. I sit inside your operation, map where the repeated work lives, and rank it by dollars saved or recovered. You get a ranked list and an honest read on what's worth automating now and what isn't.

02

30-day build

Fixed fee, fixed deliverable. I build the highest-ROI automation and run it on your real data, with multi-model verification so you can trust what it outputs. You see it working before the engagement ends.

03

Handoff or scale

It's built to run without a developer babysitting it, documented for your team. From there you either take it and go, or we line up the next workflow. Your call, no lock-in.

Why it's different here

A local operator who runs the hardware.

Most "AI automation" pitches are a thin wrapper over someone else's API and a monthly subscription you'll forget you're paying. I run a four-node local AI cluster out of Spokane — a Mac Studio M3 Ultra, an M4 Max, and a 4090 PC. For sensitive work, your data never has to leave infrastructure I control.

That matters for Inland Northwest healthcare, legal, and financial operators who can't send records to a public model. And it means I'm in the tools every day, not reading about them. When I tell you a workflow can or can't be automated reliably, it's because I've built it, not because a vendor told me so.

Frequently asked questions

Anything repeated, rules-based, and painful. The most common wins are lead follow-up and routing, document handling and data extraction, recurring reports and dashboards, customer and patient communications, scheduling, and back-office data entry. If a person does it the same way every week, it's a candidate. The first conversation is about which one pays for itself fastest.

Off-the-shelf software makes you change how you work to fit the tool. A developer builds what you spec, even when the spec is wrong. I sit inside your process first, automate the part that actually hurts, and prove it on your real data in 30 days before anyone commits to scaling it. You get working software, not a license you stop using in three months.

A focused automation goes from kickoff to working software in about 30 days. The first one to two weeks is an audit to find and rank the highest-ROI workflow. The build is fixed-fee with a defined deliverable, and you see it running on your own data before the engagement ends.

The audit is scoped per engagement. The 30-day build is fixed-fee with a defined deliverable, so there are no surprises. Pricing reflects 20 years of Fortune 50 operator experience and the fact that what we build actually ships. I'll tell you up front if a workflow isn't worth automating yet.

It depends on the work, and you decide. For sensitive data I can run models on a four-node local AI cluster out of Spokane instead of sending it to a public API, so your records never leave infrastructure you control. For lower-risk workflows, hosted models are faster and cheaper. I'll recommend the right trade-off and be explicit about where every byte goes.

No. The deliverable is built to run without a developer babysitting it, with clear handoff and documentation for your team. If you want ongoing tuning and new builds as you grow, that's what the advisor retainer is for — but you're never locked into it to keep what we shipped.

What's eating your team's week?

Thirty minutes. No pitch. Tell me the repetitive work that's slowing you down and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth automating — and what it would take.
