Practical AI for the businesses that built this region.
Local AI advisory practice. Headquartered in Richland, Washington. Serving the Tri-Cities (Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, West Richland) and the broader Pacific Northwest. Run by Patrick Teglia.
Practical AI training for chambers of commerce, business associations, and individual companies. No vendor pitches. Real prompts, real tools, real examples.
Two weeks. We review your operations, talk to your team, and deliver a written report covering where AI saves real time and money, and where it’s the wrong tool. $5,000 fixed price. 15–25 page written report plus a 90-minute live readout.
Ongoing AI guidance without a full-time hire. 8 to 10 hours per month, on-call between sessions. $3,000 per month, three-month minimum, then month-to-month.
Self-serve apps for specific repetitive jobs. Nine live now, more shipping every couple of weeks. Three free, the rest unlock for $19 a month. Each tool runs on infrastructure we own in the Pacific Northwest, so your data stays out of someone else’s training set.
