San Francisco County
San Francisco builds AI. Nobody showed you how to use it.
You have a business here, which means you have watched the AI conversation happen around you for years without anyone stopping to explain what any of it does for a shop with four staff. You probably tried ChatGPT. It wrote something decent once. Then it fizzled, because a chat window is not a system. I sit down with you for an hour and we build the system part, using your real work.
San Francisco business is a block-by-block thing
This city trades street by street. A taqueria in the Mission, a two-chair salon out in the Sunset, a wine bar in Hayes Valley, a physical therapy practice off Divisadero, and a very large number of people who left a tech job and now consult on their own. Rent is brutal and almost nobody has an admin person, so the owner does everything after close. That means the permit renewal at eleven at night, the same handful of customer questions answered again all week, another careful email to the landlord, and retraining a new hire because someone moved on. AI tools are genuinely good at that pile, once they are set up around how you work.
What we could work on
- →The questions you answer over and over. Turn your inbox, your DMs and your voicemail into a set of replies you actually approve of, ready to send in seconds.
- →The permit and licensing paperwork. Get a plain English summary of what a form is asking for and a first draft of your answer, so renewal night stops being an event.
- →Training the next hire. Turn the way you do things into a short written guide, so the tenth person you train gets the same version as the first.
Questions San Francisco owners ask
Everyone in San Francisco works in tech. Why would I pay someone to explain AI?
Being near it is not the same as being shown how to use it. The people building these AI tools are not building them for a two-chair salon or a corner restaurant, and they are not going to sit with you for an hour. My job is the translation, and then the setup, so the thing still works after I log off.
Can this help with the paperwork side of an SF storefront?
Often, yes. Permit renewals, health and licensing forms, landlord letters, insurance questions. AI tools are good at reading a dense document and telling you in plain words what it wants, then drafting your response. You still read it and you still sign it. What changes is that you start from a draft instead of a blank screen.
