FOR AGENCIES & SERVICE TEAMS / WORK WITH JOHN

Your team knows how.
Let’s build the software.

I help agencies and service businesses turn recurring work and specialist knowledge into tools their teams can use. Start with a workflow audit, prototype an internal assistant, or get help implementing a focused project.

Bring one workflow you’d like to improve. We’ll talk through where to start.

AI Workflow Audit

For agencies and service teams deciding which recurring workflow is worth improving first.

Discuss your workflow

WHAT WE CAN DELIVER

A map of the current workflow and its bottlenecks

Success criteria, review steps, and a recommendation

Internal AI Assistant

Put your team’s knowledge to work.

For teams whose answers are scattered across meetings, documents, and reporting tools.

Talk through an assistant

WHAT WE CAN DELIVER

A scoped prototype connected to agreed sources
Source references, permissions, and human review
Evaluation examples and a documented handoff

Implementation & Team Enablement

Make the workflow part of the work.

For teams ready to move a useful pilot into a repeatable way of working.

Plan your rollout

WHAT WE CAN DELIVER

A rollout plan with clear owners and checkpoints
Practical training, reusable instructions, and documentation
A review cadence to measure and improve the workflow

Building a product around your expertise?

I also help independent founders scope a product, make technical decisions, and build with agents. Your Post Coach, co-built with Tony Albrecht around his coaching method, is one example.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

A focused scope.
Something you can check.

Map the work.

Look at the current process, the people involved, and a sample of the output. Agree on the result, deliverables, timing, and fees.

Build and evaluate.

Work through a contained pilot with representative examples. Review the result, the sources, and the effort needed to correct it.

Make the next step clear.

Document what works, what still needs attention, and who owns the workflow. Agree on a rollout or further iteration based on the evidence.

BEFORE WE TALK

A few useful answers.

Yes. Start with the work your team needs to complete and what is getting in the way. A workflow audit helps us decide whether the next step should be a tool, a custom assistant, or a simpler process.

Examples include finding decisions across meeting notes, preparing a status-report draft, or bringing approved documents and performance data into one place. We choose a contained workflow and define how a person will check its output.

We start by reviewing your existing tools, available integrations, and access requirements. The agency prototype connected Google Drive, Google Analytics, and Search Console. Your scope depends on what your systems support and what your team authorizes.

Yes. I also help founders make product decisions, scope prototypes, and build with agents. Bring the product idea or the part of the build that is slowing you down.

My roots are in Minnesota. The work can be done remotely, so you can bring a business or product problem from wherever you’re building.

That depends on the scope and the result you need. The first conversation is for understanding the problem. We agree on deliverables, timing, and fees before an engagement begins.

We agree on the sources the assistant can access, its allowed actions, and the places a person reviews the result. Client messages and business commitments need an explicit review step. Your team keeps ownership of the decisions.

Absolutely. The apps have their own product plans, and the templates, scripts, and public playbooks here are available to explore independently. Consulting is there when you want help applying the ideas to your work.
