You used to have an IT guy. Now you've got an AI guy
The ongoing tier. New workflows as they are needed, hands-on coaching for your team, and a monthly check-in to fold in whatever has changed. Someone responsible for your business getting real value from AI, month after month, so it keeps compounding instead of stalling after the first burst.
On call for your team, as the tools keep moving.
A training day gets a team started. This keeps them ahead. AI tools change fast, and the businesses that win with them are not the ones who did one course, they are the ones with someone whose job it is to keep the team using the tools well as they evolve. That is what the retainer is.
I am on call for your business. When a new job comes up that AI could handle, we build the workflow. When someone gets stuck, they get coaching, not a help doc. And every month we step back, look at what is working, and bring in whatever is new and worth using.
New workflows, coaching, a monthly check-in.
New workflows as needs arise. As your business hits new repetitive jobs, we build a Claude workflow for them rather than letting them pile up.
Hands-on coaching. Your team has someone to turn to when they are stuck or want to do something better, so the skill spreads instead of sitting with one person.
A monthly check-in. We review what is landing, tidy up what is not, and fold in what has changed in Claude and the wider tools, so your setup never goes stale.
Because AI is not a one-time install.
The businesses I see get the most value are not the ones who bought the cleverest tool. They are the ones who kept using it well as it changed. A single training day is a great start, but the tools move every month, new people join, and the workflows that mattered last quarter are not the ones that matter this quarter. A retainer keeps pace with all of that.
It is also about reliability. You do not want AI that works when you set it up and quietly rots after. Having someone responsible for it being useful, month after month, is the difference between a novelty and a genuine advantage.
Teams who want it to compound, not plateau.
The retainer suits businesses that have already seen what AI can do, often after a talk or a training day, and want that to keep building rather than fade. Usually a team that would rather have a person on call who knows their business than try to keep up with a fast-moving field on their own.
I am an independent AI specialist, so I work for you, not a vendor. When the work shifts from teaching and coaching to building the tool itself, custom software or an AI tool your business needs, that goes through Under Seage Studio, my build and delivery arm.
What is included each month?
New workflows built as needs come up, hands-on coaching for your team, and a monthly check-in to review what is working and fold in whatever has changed in Claude and the wider tools. It is enablement that keeps moving, not a fixed package that goes stale.
How is this different to a one-off training day?
A training day gets your team started and using Claude well. The retainer keeps them ahead of it. Tools change fast, new jobs come up, people leave and join. The retainer means there is always someone responsible for your business getting value from AI, not a one-time hit that fades.
Who does the retainer suit?
Businesses that have seen what AI can do and want it to keep compounding rather than plateau. Usually a team that has done a training day or a talk, wants ongoing help, and would rather have a person on call than try to keep up alone.
What does the 'AI guy' framing mean?
You used to have an IT guy, someone you called when the tech needed sorting. Now the tech is AI, and it changes every month. I am the person you call for that: on hand, knows your business, and keeps your team moving without you having to become the expert yourself.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of your team and how hands-on you want it, so pricing is by enquiry rather than a fixed number on a page. Get in touch and we will scope something that fits how your business runs.
