Tell me about your day.
Maybe it’s answering the same questions, sorting through documents, or remembering to follow up. We’ll start with what’s taking your time.
SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA
Practical AI. Personal guidance.
There’s probably something on your to-do list you’ve done a hundred times. Let’s see if AI can help with it—and give you a little more room for the work and people that matter to you.
For individuals, independent professionals, and local businesses.
A little less friction.
A little more room to think.
You shouldn’t need to become an AI expert
to find out what it can do for you.
01 / HOW WE START
You don’t need a grand plan. Bring a task that keeps coming back, and we’ll work out whether automation could make it easier.
Maybe it’s answering the same questions, sorting through documents, or remembering to follow up. We’ll start with what’s taking your time.
We’ll agree on a manageable first step and its cost before building. You’ll have a chance to see how it fits the way you already work.
Does it save effort? Are you happy with the results? We’ll look at what’s working together and decide where to go from there.
HERE’S ONE WAY IT COULD HELP
An example to start the conversation. Your first workflow will depend on what you need.
02 / YOUR INFORMATION
It’s reasonable to have questions about AI and your information. We’ll talk through what a task needs, where that information goes, and what you’re comfortable with.
A SIMPLE PLACE TO START
Online AI services can be a practical way to try a first workflow using the computer you already have.
The selected provider receives the information used for that task. Before choosing a service, we’ll discuss what it stores and how it uses your data.
This can keep the initial commitment smaller. If some information needs to stay with you, we’ll explore another setup or try the idea with sample data first.
We’ll map out the information a task needs, who would receive it, and how long it would be kept.
Your budget, tools, and privacy needs all belong in the conversation. We’ll explain the options in everyday language.
We’ll agree on where your approval is needed, especially for messages, sensitive information, and important actions.
03 / ROOM TO GROW
You don’t have to choose a whole new computer system to have a conversation about AI. Let’s begin with what you want to do and the tools you already use.
Talk through your idea ↗If your work calls for a dedicated local system, we’ll discuss the equipment, ongoing care, and costs before you commit.
04 / A LITTLE TIME BACK
A few minutes here and there can fill a week. Think of one task you repeat—how much time does it take?
What would you do with a little of that time back?
This shows the time a task takes today. Together, we can explore which parts AI could help with.05 / MEET SEQUOIA
Hi, I’m Sequoia. I’m building Auomata Solutions here in Santa Cruz to help people find useful ways to bring AI into their everyday work.
I’d like to hear what your day looks like, what keeps getting in the way, and what you’d rather spend your time doing. We can start there.
06 / LET’S TALK
You don’t need to know which tool you need, or even whether AI is the answer. Tell me a little about the task you have in mind.
“I keep spending time on…”
That’s enough to start a conversation.
