Straight answers

The questions owners actually ask.

The things people type into Google and ChatGPT at 11pm, answered the way I would answer them across a desk. Search, browse by topic, or jump to your industry.

The 15 minute conversation

Where everything starts, and what happens next.

What is the free 15 minute conversation?

It is where everything starts. You tell me your biggest headache: what drove you crazy this week, what you would hire for if you could afford it, what you have tried before that did not stick. I take notes and I do not pitch anything. Then I scope and build a custom solution for it.

Is it really free? What is the catch?

The conversation is free. There is no card, no contract and no obligation to go ahead. Some owners hire me to build and run their solution, which is how I make my living, and I would rather earn the work than trap you into it.

How do we talk?

However suits you: a call, a text or a screen share, at any time.

Do I have to stop working to do this?

No. The conversation is 15 minutes and you pick the time.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Come with what drove you crazy this week and what you have tried before. That is all I need.

What if I am not sure what my biggest headache is?

Most owners know it as soon as they say it out loud: the phone that never stops ringing, the invoices that sit, the same task retyped into four systems. If you are not sure, tell me what your week looked like and we will find it together.

What happens after the conversation?

I scope the real solution for your setup: what it actually takes, with no generic package and no price list. If you want it, I build it, and we decide the pricing together in the conversation. There is no pressure in either direction.

What I build

The kinds of problems I solve, and what AI can and cannot do for a small business today.

What kinds of problems do you solve?

The ones that eat an owner's week: phones that never stop ringing, calls missed after hours, chasing people for documents or payments, apps that do not talk to each other, quotes and follow-ups that go out late, and paperwork that piles up. Each industry page on this site lists the headaches owners in that trade tell me about.

What does a custom solution actually mean?

It means I build around how your business already works instead of handing you a generic package. I work out what it actually takes for your setup, and then I build that.

What can AI actually do for my business today?

Answer and route your phone 24/7. Book appointments. Chase unpaid invoices politely. Draft quotes from a voice note. Reply to reviews. Summarize a long email thread. Turn your notes into a proposal. Sort inbound leads by how serious they are. Those are real, cheap, and work in a business of any size right now.

What does AI do badly, or not yet?

I will tell you which and why, so nobody sells it to you next month. Part of scoping your solution is being straight about what AI handles well today, what it handles badly, and what you should not hand to it at all.

How do I use AI in my business?

Start with the task you repeat most and hate most. For most owners that is answering the phone, following up with leads, or writing the same kind of email, quote or review reply over and over. Put AI on one of those first, measure it for a month, then take the next one. Do not start with a strategy document.

How do I implement AI in my business without a tech person?

The same way you implemented a credit card reader: you pick the one thing, and someone builds it into how you already work. That last part is the whole job, and it is what the free 15 minute conversation is for. You do not need a developer. You need someone who understands your business.

What is the best AI for small business?

There is not one. The best AI for an accountant is different from the best AI for a roofer. Anyone who names a single tool before understanding your business is selling that tool. The right answer is usually two or three specific things wired together into a custom solution, and the industry pages on this site say which for your trade.

Do I need an AI consultant, or can I just use ChatGPT?

You can use ChatGPT today and you should. The gap a consultant fills is knowing which of your fifty daily tasks it should touch, how to connect it to your phone, calendar and invoices, and what not to trust it with. If you already know that, you do not need me.

How does AI help a business make more money?

Mostly by not losing the money you are already losing: the missed call that was a job, the quote that took four days, the lead nobody followed up, the review nobody answered. Recapturing those is faster and more certain than any growth hack.

Pricing

Custom solutions, custom pricing, decided together.

How much does AI for a small business cost?

Pricing is custom, and we decide it together in the free 15 minute conversation, after you have told me your biggest headache and I have scoped the solution. You will know the number before anything gets built. The expensive mistake is paying for something you did not need, which is why we start with one problem.

Why is there no price list?

Because your solution is not off the shelf. The work is scoped around your setup, so the price is too, and we decide it together in the conversation.

Do you take referral fees or commissions?

No. I do not take referral fees, so when I tell you what to use, it is because it is the right answer for your business.

Do I have to hire you to build it?

No. Some owners run it themselves. Some hire me to build and run it, which is how I make my living. Either way I will tell you straight whether you need me.

Your team and your business

Jobs, size, limits, and who you will be talking to.

Will AI replace my employees?

In a small business it almost never does. It takes the part of their day they hate, like phones during the lunch rush, re-typing and chasing, and gives them back time for the part customers pay for. The businesses that lose people to AI are the ones that let a competitor get faster while they waited.

Is my business too small for this?

No. A one-person shop benefits most, because you are the one answering the phone at dinner. The free 15 minute conversation works for one person or a hundred.

What should never be handed to AI?

The parts of your business that are you: relationships, judgment, the thing customers actually come for. In regulated trades like accounting, law and dental I am conservative, and I say so.

What if AI cannot help my business?

Then I will tell you so straight. It happens.

Who will I be talking to?

Me. I am Isaac Krupp, an AI consultant for small businesses. I build AI systems that run inside real businesses: phone agents that answer and book, follow-up systems that never forget a lead, and the unglamorous automation that saves an owner hours every week.

Privacy and safety

Your customer data, the chat on this site, texting, and deleting what we hold.

Is it safe? What about my customer data?

It is a real question and we cover it in the conversation for each solution: what data it sees, where it is stored, and what to keep out of it. For regulated trades, like accounting, law and dental, I am conservative and I say so.

Can I put client data into an AI tool?

Only into a tool covered by a written agreement stating it will not train on or retain your inputs, sitting behind multi factor login, inside systems your business already controls. Never a consumer chatbot. Your confidentiality duties, your contracts, and your industry's rules govern what may leave the building, and your own advisor should confirm anything unclear.

Is the chat on this site a real person?

No. It is an AI assistant for Isaac. Please do not share passwords or card numbers in it, and you can reply STOP at any time.

Will you text me?

Only after you agree to it in the chat, and replying STOP at any time ends it.

What happens to what I tell the chat?

The conversation is processed by an AI model provider so the assistant can reply, and if you book a call it is created in Isaac's scheduling system. Chat and booking records are kept until you ask us to delete them. We never sell this information, and we never share it with marketing partners or data brokers.

How do I have my information deleted?

Email [email protected] and we will delete what we hold about you.
