AI features that ship inside your site, not another disconnected tool.
Every business is being sold 'AI' right now, mostly as another subscription that doesn't talk to anything you own. The version that actually pays off is smaller and closer to home: a support assistant trained on your docs, search that understands questions, intake forms that summarize themselves into your CRM, content workflows that draft in your voice.

The approach
Filed under Engineering. The deeper stack: plugins, applications, APIs and AI features.
I build those features directly into your WordPress or Next.js site, Claude or OpenAI under the hood, your data staying in your infrastructure, and honest advice about which ideas are worth building and which are demo-ware.

What the engagement includes
05 deliverables · all in the quoted price
01The headline deliverable
Custom AI chat assistants
Trained on your pages, docs and policies with RAG, cites sources, escalates to humans, logs everything.
LLM API integrations
Claude and OpenAI wired into your forms, admin and workflows with rate limits and cost controls.
AI-powered search
Semantic search that answers questions instead of matching keywords, for docs, catalogs and knowledge bases.
Content & intake automation
Lead summarization, draft generation, tagging and routing built into the tools your team already uses.
Honest scoping
A working prototype before the big build, so you invest in what demonstrably works on your data.
How it runs
Same four beats on every engagement, this one included. No discovery-call theater.
01
Brief in plain language
Describe the project the way you'd say it out loud. Links, deadlines and a rough budget all help.
02
Written quote in one business day
A fixed range and a recommendation, plus an honest note if this service isn't the right fit for it.
03
Build on a private staging link
You watch progress live and give feedback in plain words. No ticket system required.
04
Launch, then 30 days of support
Fixes and tweaks are included while the site settles in. After that, you choose what ongoing care looks like.
Honest answers first
Anything missing? Ask directly and get a reply within 24 hours.
Q1Will the chatbot make things up about my business?
Ungrounded chatbots do. Mine answer only from your indexed content, cite the page they pulled from, and say 'I don't know, here's how to reach a human' when the answer isn't there. That retrieval-first design is the difference between an asset and a liability.
Q2What does running AI features cost monthly?
Usually less than people fear, a support assistant on a typical small-business site runs single-digit dollars per month in API costs. I set hard spending caps and usage dashboards so there are no surprise invoices.
Q3Is my data used to train someone else's model?
No. API traffic to Anthropic and OpenAI under business terms isn't used for training, your content index lives in your infrastructure, and I document the full data path so you can answer that question to your own clients.
