Hire an AI engineer for a day.
One day, embedded with your team: an engineer who builds AI systems for businesses every week, at your office, building yours. Just your business in the room, no audience. AI Electrical hired us this way: two days in, they reckon 70% of their workload is getting automated.
"What I like best is their patience to listen, understand and successfully execute."
"Probably 70% of our workload's gonna get fully automated now."
Two days embedded with the team at AI Electrical, building the systems they'd been talking about for months. This is Shannon at the end of day two, in the video above.
"What we've achieved in 2 days has been mind blowing, and the momentum that we've got is fantastic. We never would have got it off the ground without your help."
The engineer you could never justify full-time.
An AI engineer costs $180,000 a year, if you can find one. Most businesses don't need one for a year. They have a backlog of ideas and a couple of weeks of real building.
So hire one for a day instead. Someone who designs and ships these systems every week, working inside your business on your actual jobs: the quoting, the follow-ups, the paperwork. Email your AI on the way out of a meeting, and the work is started before you've left the client's carpark.
The big AI companies call this a forward-deployed engineer: someone who leaves the lab and builds inside the customer's business. We think it's how every business should get their first systems.
A working day, not a consultation.
Your engineer's day is spent on the AI ideas you've been carrying around: answering them properly, then building the ones worth building. We'll run to a plan if you want one, or follow your lead if you'd rather. Most days are some mix of these:
Get straight answers
Every AI question your team has been sitting on, answered by someone who builds this for a living: what's real, what's hype, what it costs, and what we'd do in your position.
See real systems running
We show you the systems we run our own company on, and how other businesses like yours are using AI day to day. Real screens, not slides.
Design the right systems
Together we work out what AI should be doing in your business: which jobs, in what order, and what the system around them looks like.
Build them beside us
Want things built? We build beside your team, on your accounts, and we set your computers up so your people can carry it on. Most businesses have something running before we leave.
Or just talk it through
Some businesses spend the whole day on questions and planning and never open a laptop. That's a fine way to spend it. You leave with the plan.
What's yours at the end of the day.
A working system
Most days end with one: the first version of the thing you actually need, running on your accounts, with nobody sitting there driving it.
A set-up team
Every computer carrying the tools and access, and your people shown how to use them properly.
The ability to keep going
Your team can maintain and extend the system without us. That is the point of the day.
Your engineer arrives two years in.
Most of the work in an AI system isn't the idea. It's the months of tuning underneath: getting it to follow instructions properly, cope when a job doesn't fit the pattern, stay reliable when it matters. We've already done that, in our own business, for two years.
So you don't start from a blank screen. You spend your day on the part that's actually yours: what AI should be doing for your business.
What that looked like on the first day
The business we spent it with wanted a system that writes their estimates. Rather than build an engine from scratch with them, we brought the one we'd spent months refining, dropped it into their business, and spent the day building their estimating on top of it. They finished the day roughly where months of trial and error would have got them.
Your office. Your numbers. No audience.
A workshop means raising your hand in front of strangers and keeping the real numbers vague. This is the opposite. It's your meeting room, just your team, and the actual business on the table: your pricing, your margins, how you really win work. The specifics are the whole point, and they stay in the building.
And because it's your office, the system is built where it will live: on your accounts, on your computers, with the people who'll run it.
The engineer who turns up.
I'm Angus. I run Local Marketing Group in Brisbane, and we've built software for businesses for fifteen years, the last two almost entirely with AI. We run our own company on systems we've built this way, so what you get on the day is how we actually work, not a theory.
"Trustworthy, clear and professional at all times. I can't recommend them enough."
Walk out with it running.
That's what $1,200 buys: a day of an engineer inside your business, the first system running on your own accounts, and your team trained to carry it on without us. Not $180,000 a year. One day at a time.
No recruiter, no retainer, no scope document. It's a day rate: book one and run with it, or book a day a week while your systems take shape.
You've been meaning to get help with this for months. Pick your day, and your engineer turns up.
