I test AI tools on real work. The keepers, I set up for you.

I help independent consultants and small business owners put AI to work on one recurring task. Follow my experiments on Stack Snacks, or work with me to set up a workflow of your own.

One task. A working setup.

Bring me a recurring task you already do. I’ll help you build a practical AI workflow around your process, examples and rules—and show you how to use it.

What we’ll do together

  1. Choose one task. A 30-minute walkthrough of your current process, inputs and desired output.
  2. Set it up and test it. A reusable business brief and one workflow in your existing AI tool, checked against real examples.
  3. Make it yours. A 45-minute handoff, written instructions and one adjustment round within 14 days of handoff.

A small, clear starting point

Plan for 1–2 weeks after I receive your materials. Payment terms are agreed before we start. Any software subscriptions are separate and agreed in advance.

Custom apps and integrations need their own scope. You stay in control and review AI-generated work before using it.

Example workflow

From call notes to a proposal you can edit

For an independent consultant who keeps rebuilding the same proposal from scratch.

You bring

Rough call notes, approved packages and prices, and a proposal you like.

We set up

A repeatable drafting workflow that uses your rules and flags missing details.

You review

An editable first draft. You check the scope, price and wording before sending it.

An example of the kind of task we can tackle. We’ll check whether your process is a fit before starting.

The person behind the experiments

Hey, I’m John.

I’m a developer and the creator of Stack Snacks. I build small tools, try AI on my own work, and share what I learn along the way.

When you work with me, you work directly with the person doing the setup. We’ll walk through your process together, test it with your examples, and make sure you know how to use it.

What task keeps eating your time?

Tell me what you do, how often you do it, and which part gets tedious. I’ll reply personally to see whether the $750 pilot fits. We can start by email—no call required.
