Your own AI assistant
It knows your customers, your projects, your voice, and the way you like things done. Not the blank ChatGPT everyone shares. Yours.
Indiana AI Advisor for Small Business
Do you own your business?
Or does it own you?
When every proposal, every report, and every question only one person can answer routes through a single desk, the bottleneck is not a mystery. It is the chair you sit in, and the business you built for freedom now runs your life. There is a way out, and it is not another hire or another late night.
Built with you by Harrison Painter, Indiana's Executive AI Advisor. You leave the first session owning it, or you do not pay the setup fee.

Every one of these was
made automatically.
An AI that knows my business made each of these graphics the moment an article published. Nobody designed them by hand. This is the visible proof of what an assistant that knows your business can do on its own. Now point that at the work eating your week: your proposals, your reports, the same questions you answer over and over.
Plain English
You have heard of AI agents.
Here is what that means.
You have probably heard the words "AI agent" by now, in every headline and every podcast, without anyone stopping to say what one actually is. Plain English: a regular AI answers your questions, and an agent does the work. The branded graphics above are one example. Nobody sat at a desk designing them. An assistant that knows the business produced each one on its own.
That is the whole difference, between something you have to operate and something that operates for you. The rest of this page is about giving you one of your own.
Before you decide you are behind
AI for your small business,
without becoming technical.
No course. No certification. Not a single word you have to look up. You bring the one thing nobody else can, which is how your business actually works, and we handle everything technical. If you can talk about your own company, you can do this.
No course required
Plain language, always
Wherever you are on AI
We do the technical part
The trap
You started a business to be your own boss.
Now it owns your nights and weekends.
The day fills with everything the business needs: emails, follow-ups, proposals, reports, the same five questions answered for the hundredth time. And because it cannot run without you, it never really lets you go. The dinners you miss, the weekends lost to catch-up, the round of golf you keep rescheduling, those are the hours it quietly takes.
When were you last fully off, with no part of the business running in the back of your head?
You are the poster boy for AI. Barnabas is running your empire.
What it makes possible
The work of a full team.
Without the payroll.
The smartest people in AI are talking about the first one-person company worth a billion dollars. You do not need that dream to feel what they are pointing at. An assistant that knows your business can draft the proposals, build the reports, answer the same questions you field every week, and turn out the kind of work that used to take a marketing hire, an operations hire, and a writer on staff.
You stay one person. You run like ten. And it never calls in sick.
The reason it has not worked yet
Why ChatGPT alone
never knew your business.
You have probably tried ChatGPT. Once or twice. And it was fine, in a generic way, but it did not know your business, your customers, the way you talk, or the way you like things done. So you explained everything from scratch, got something half-useful, and went back to doing it yourself. It felt like one more thing to manage, not one less.
That is not a you problem. The blank version forgets everything the second you close it. It was never built for your business. It cannot be, until someone builds it with you.
How it works
Built with you, not for you:
how the AI setup works.
Done with you, not for you, and that is on purpose. We set up an AI that learns your business by learning it from you, in a few guided conversations. You walk away owning it. Three steps:
-
We set the foundation.
You start with a working assistant and a guide, not a blank screen.
-
You make it yours.
We ask you the questions that get to the core of how your business runs, the ones most owners never get asked. You answer them about your own business, the thing you know better than anyone alive. We turn your answers into an assistant that thinks like you and does the work you hate.
-
You leave with it working.
Not a half-built project and a to-do list. A working assistant, on your machine, already handling one of your real headaches before the first session ends.
You do the part only you can do, telling it about your business. We handle everything technical. Like a trainer who coaches your form while you lift the weights. The lifting is what makes you stronger, but you would never figure out the program alone.
Working with Harrison is a game changer for our BIGGBY Coffee hospitality approach. Using AI, he created a thoughtful, science-backed hospitality plan in minutes after I provided a framework of my idea. I highly recommend Harrison to any business looking to strengthen culture and create a more intentional customer experience.
Everything you walk away with
This is what you get.
All of it, built with you.
02
Your draining work, handled
The proposals, the reports, the follow-ups, the questions you answer on repeat. Off your plate and running in your voice.
03
Plain-language playbooks
So you and your team can run it without a technical person in the room. Written for humans, not engineers.
04
A person to call
Included for the first 30 days. When you get stuck, you talk to someone who knows your setup, not a help desk.
05
Monthly tune-ups
Your assistant keeps up as your business changes and the technology moves. You never have to track any of it.
06
You own it
On your machine, working before the first session ends. Not a rental, not a black box. Yours to keep.
What it is worth
What would it be worth
to get all of it off your plate?
Think about the three things that keep you up at night. The bottlenecks. The time-sinks. The work you know you should hand off but never do. What would it be worth to fix all three, to hand them to something that works around the clock, knows your business inside out, and never drops the ball? Most owners, sitting with it honestly, come to about ten percent of their revenue.
Here is what solving this the usual ways costs:
Hire someone to handle it
A full salary, every year, plus benefits and managing them
An AI agency builds it for you
$8,000 to $25,000 to build, then $2,000 to $8,000 a month
An executive coach
$300 to $1,000 an hour, and you still do the work yourself
Figure it out alone
Months of nights and weekends, and most of it never ships
Bought separately, an assessment, a strategy roadmap, the build, and a year of support run past $50,000 in the first year alone.
Built With You is $5,000 to set it up.

Built With You
One-time setup of an AI assistant that knows your business, built with you in a few guided sessions. The monthly plan runs $750 to $2,500, depending on how much work you hand off, and keeps it current as everything changes. First 30 days of support included.
Book your free 20-minute call →$10,000 to $12,500
Executive AI Coaching
The higher-touch tier. We set it up with you one on one over 90 days, and work through the bottlenecks together. Executive coaching for the AI era: instead of advice and homework, you walk out with an assistant that hands back your week.
Book a scoping call →Cohort pricing
Bring your team
Five or more owners or leaders can go through it together. Same guided build, same ownership at the end, run as a small cohort so you learn alongside people facing the same week you are. Ask about cohort pricing on the call.
Ask about a cohort →You leave the first session with it already handling real work. We keep working until the workflow we scoped runs, the monthly is cancel-anytime, and if we are not the right fit, we will tell you on the call.
Harrison Painter’s AI workshop was a game-changer. Our agents explored how tools like ChatGPT can streamline marketing, customer service, and operations.
Where we start
Wherever you are on AI,
that is where we start.
Behind, skeptical, or just out of time, it does not change the first step. You do not have to catch up before we begin.
For owners who want this. Not for everyone.
This is for the owner who knows AI is real, is tired of being the bottleneck, and wants someone to set it up right and walk with them through it. It is not for someone hunting the cheapest option, and it is not for someone who wants to learn to build it all themselves from scratch. If that is you, you do not need us, and we will tell you so.

FAQ
Questions owners
ask before they start.
Should I hire someone to set up AI for my business?
If AI keeps showing up in every headline and you have tried it once or twice without much to show for it, yes. Setting it up so it actually knows your business is the hard part, and it is the part worth paying for. We do that with you in a few guided sessions, then teach you to run it, so you own it instead of renting it.
What is an AI agent, in plain English?
A regular AI answers your questions when you ask. An agent does the work without being asked each time. Tell it once how you handle proposals, and it drafts them. Point it at your weekly report, and it builds it. One waits for you, the other works for you. Built With You sets up an agent that knows your business, so the work draining your week starts handling itself.
What is done-with-you AI?
Done-with-you AI means we set up your assistant alongside you instead of handing you a finished black box. You answer the questions about your own business, the part only you can answer, and we handle everything technical. You end with a working assistant you understand and a guide who walks with you through it. The version you help build is the one you actually use.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
Keep using ChatGPT. The difference is that the blank version forgets everything the second you close it, so you explain your business from scratch every time. Yours remembers your customers, your projects, the way you talk, and the way you like things done. That is the difference between a tool you have and a tool that works for you.
How do I get AI to actually know my business?
You teach it, with help. We sit down and ask the questions a good consultant would ask, and you answer them about your own business. We turn those answers into an assistant that thinks like you and handles the work you would rather not do. It knows your business because it learned it from the person who knows it best.
Is AI executive coaching worth it?
Executive coaches run $300 to $1,000 an hour and leave you with advice and homework. This costs less and leaves you with the hours back. Instead of notes, you get an assistant that handles your draining work every week, long after the sessions end. For most owners, the three headaches it takes off your plate are worth far more than the price.
What's the difference between done-for-you and done-with-you AI?
Done-for-you hands you a finished system you did not help shape, and most of those sit unused inside a week because no one understands them. Done-with-you means you build it with us, so you trust it and actually use it. You do the part only you can do, telling it about your business. We handle the technical work. You leave owning it.
Can AI help a small business owner who isn't technical?
That is exactly who this is for. If you were technical you would build it yourself. You do not need a course, a certification, or a single technical word. You bring what you know better than anyone, your business, and we handle the rest. We meet you wherever you are, whether you have used AI a hundred times or never once opened it.
How much does it cost to have someone set up AI for my business?
Setup is $5,000 one time, with a monthly plan from $750 to $2,500 to keep it current as your business and the technology change. A higher-touch executive coaching tier runs $10,000 to $12,500. Bought separately, an assessment, a strategy roadmap, the build, and ongoing support run past $50,000 in the first year, so $5,000 to set it up is the value here.
Will I own the AI assistant after the setup is done?
Yes. You leave with it working, on your machine, already handling one of your real headaches before the first session ends. It is not a half-built project and a to-do list. The monthly plan keeps it current as everything changes, but the assistant is yours, and it becomes part of how you work.
Get back the part
you actually love.
Give me twenty minutes. I will help you make sense of all of it: what AI can really do for a business like yours, and where to start. You will walk away clear on the first step, and easier in your mind that you are not missing what everyone keeps talking about.
