An AI assistant that won’t make things up
AI Steve answers visitors from a fixed set of verified facts and can only take approved actions. That restraint is designed in, and it’s the same pattern I’d put inside your workflow.
Ask AI Steve →For teams with work that's slower than it should be
Practical AI and small, focused tools — with people kept in control.
Most teams don't need an AI strategy deck. They need one slow, error-prone task fixed, and staff who trust the result. I find the workflow where AI or a simple tool genuinely pays, build a small controlled version you can test, and train your people to use it with judgement. I build with Claude and modern AI APIs, and I teach for a living, so adoption is part of the job.
A short review of your workflows to find the one or two tasks where AI saves real time, and the ones where it shouldn’t be trusted.
A small working tool for one task, with clear limits on what the AI can do, checks on its output, and a measure of whether it worked.
Purpose-built tools for technical, training or operational jobs that generic software handles badly: calculators, configurators, internal tools.
Capabilities, limits, checking and disclosure, taught by an educator, so your team uses AI like a power tool, not a slot machine.

Ask AI Steve →In my design tool, an AI copilot sets a part’s dimensions from a plain-English brief through strict, validated parameters. It can’t do anything it hasn’t been explicitly allowed to.
Try the copilot →Microsoft Innovative Educator and L7 Teaching with Technology, with nineteen years of teaching behind them. Training built around what people can do afterwards.
30 minutes on the work that’s slowing you down. I’ll tell you honestly whether AI or software is the answer.
A fixed-scope look at your workflows, ending in a short report: what to try, what to avoid, and what it would take.
One focused tool for one task, tested with real users, at a fixed price agreed up front.
Staff workshops, then support as the tool beds in, at a day rate.
Defined work gets a fixed quote before anything starts; ongoing support is by day rate. More on how I work.
