AI Consultant in Arizona.

FAQ

AI Consultant in Arizona, answered.

• What kind of AI work do you actually do? +

  Two things. AI consulting, where I help your business figure out where AI fits and then build it: lead-capture and follow-up systems, workflow automation, custom tools, and team training. And AI advertising, where I make commercials with the newest AI video tools mixed with real footage shot on broadcast-grade cinema cameras. The consulting comes from real building. I wrote my own CRM and AI assistant from scratch (Paydirt) and run it with clients.
• What does AI consulting actually include? +

  It starts with a strategy session on where AI helps your business and what to do first. From there it can be a lead system that texts every new lead back instantly and follows up on its own, automation for the repetitive work that eats your week, a custom AI tool built for how you operate, AI-made ads, or training so your team can run the tools day to day. You pick what you need. I do not sell AI for the sake of it.
• Can you help my business start using AI? +

  Yes, that is most of the work. A lot of owners know AI could help but have no idea where to start, and most of what is online is hype. I cut through it, point you at the few moves that pay off for your business, and build them. I am not a slide-deck consultant. I built my own software, so I can ship the thing instead of handing you a plan and walking off.
• What does AI consulting cost? +

  It follows the same path as my other marketing work. The first call is free, a strategy call is $500 an hour, and a written plan with the specific things to go after is $1,000. After that it is done-for-you or software-only on a monthly retainer, priced to the scope. AI ads are quoted separately and usually cost a fraction of a traditional production day.
• Have you actually run AI advertising for real clients? +

  Yes. We were one of the first studios anywhere to commercialize generative AI advertising for paying clients, documented in a Lost Coast Outpost feature, with real campaigns built and placed on real media. That first-mover experience is exactly what an Arizona business gets when we build AI-made commercials and lead systems for them now.
• What does an AI ad cost compared to traditional production? +

  An AI ad can cost a fraction of a traditional production day, the kind of shoot that used to run five figures. The math works in your favor, and a small business can compete with creative that looks like a much bigger budget. Larger budgets unlock more polish, more iterations, and bigger creative swings.
• Won't AI ads look fake or off-putting? +

  If you don't art-direct them, yes. Most AI video online looks cheap because nobody directed it. We treat every frame the way a director would: concept, storyboard, color grade, sound design, brand integration. The Bigfoot in Esmeralda's wasn't randomly generated, it was directed shot-by-shot. That's the difference between an AI ad that lands and an AI ad that flops.
• Can you mix AI with real footage of my business or location? +

  Yes, that hybrid workflow is where AI ads get really interesting. We shoot live-action plates of your actual business, location, or product on broadcast-grade cinema, then layer in AI-generated elements where they make the story land. Esmeralda's used real Eureka backgrounds with an AI Bigfoot. Hunan used a real Eureka kitchen with AI character animation.
• Do you also handle paid media for the AI ads you produce? +

  Yes. We're an official agency with one of the largest cable and internet providers in the country, so we can place your campaign on TV and streaming, not just social. Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google ads too. AI campaigns particularly thrive on platforms that reward novelty and stop-scroll moments, so distribution strategy is part of every engagement.
