What you get
- An assistant that reads your documents
- Every answer shows its source
- It says so when it doesn’t know
- Private to your team, in your accounts

For your team, not your customers. It answers from your documents and says when it doesn’t know.

Corridor Listing Pipeline
I take the card photos and drop them in a folder. Code and AI turn them into checked, priced eBay drafts, then stop. I review and publish every listing.

Pathway Builder
Software I built so community-college teams can map programs, courses and competencies into routes they can see, from short-term training to a degree. Right now I’m adding a place to weigh new program ideas with evidence.

Where
Remotely anywhere in Iowa; in person across the Cedar Rapids–Iowa City corridor when it helps.
Questions people ask
Will it make things up?
It answers only from your documents, shows the source, and says when it can’t find an answer. Testing on your real questions comes before handover.
Where do our documents go?
They stay in accounts you own, on a business plan that keeps your data out of training. I keep no copies.
Can customers use it?
Not this one. It’s built for your team, where a wrong answer gets caught. A customer-facing chatbot is a different job.
What documents work best?
The ones people already ask about: the handbook, procedures, price lists, product sheets, past proposals.
What happens when a document changes?
You replace the file and the assistant uses the new one. The guide shows how, in about a minute.
