Tacoma & Greater Puget Sound

AI assistants, set up around the work you actually do.

I help local small business owners and solo professionals set up two to four AI assistant "bots" built around their business, and I walk you through how they work in plain English. No tech background needed.

I'm a working home inspector, not a tech company.

I'm Chad Slater, a Washington home inspector here in the Tacoma area, so I know how busy small-business days get.

So I started using AI assistants for the behind-the-scenes work. Today I use them every week in my inspection work. I still review everything. They give me a solid first draft and help keep things organized.

Now I help other local owners set up the same kind of help: built around your work, explained in plain language, with honest talk about what it does well and what it doesn't.

FAQ

Common questions

I'm not "techy." Is this for me?

Yes. That's who I set this up for. If you can send a text or an email, you can use these. I go at your pace and leave you written steps.

Which AI do you use?

I work with mainstream AI assistant services and recommend one based on what fits you and the tools you already use.

What does the AI subscription cost, and who pays it?

You do, directly to the provider, on your own account. I'll walk you through the plan options so you can pick one that fits. I don't resell or mark it up.

Is my information private?

We go through the service's privacy settings together, set things up so sensitive information (Social Security numbers, bank details, and the like) stays out, and you use your own account and passwords. I don't keep them. Nothing goes out without you reading it first.

Will a bot do my job for me?

No. It gives you a solid first draft or an organized list. You decide, edit, and send. Think of it as a helpful assistant, not a replacement for you.

How much time will it save me?

Honestly, it depends on your business and how you use it, so I won't promise a number. We'll focus on the tasks you do most often, so you can judge for yourself.

How do I pay?

Cash, check, or card. 3% fee applies to credit cards only. No fee for cash, check, or debit. The Starter Setup needs no deposit. The Full Setup takes a 50% deposit to book your date, with the balance due at the session. Tune-Ups are month to month, and you can cancel anytime.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

This applies to the Full Setup 50% deposit. Cancel or reschedule 48+ hours before your session for a full refund or a free date change. Within 48 hours, the deposit is kept but can be applied to a new date within 30 days. No-shows forfeit the deposit.

In person or remote?

Either. I come to you anywhere in the greater Puget Sound region at no extra travel charge, or we meet by video.
