AI implementation
AI implementation for small businesses: getting it actually working
I'm Akiva Ackerman. I run ASH-ai from Inwood, New York. If you already know you want AI working in the business, I help get it there. A setup, software I build, or both. Most business owners I work with get set up on Grok Bot. When I build the software myself, I use Claude.
What this is
Implementation means it runs in your operation. You don't leave with a plan to do later.
Having ChatGPT on every laptop is like having a dishwasher nobody loads. The machine's fine. The habit is what's missing.
Consulting is how we decide what to do. This page is how we get it working. If you're still deciding, start there.
What implementation can include
A Grok Bot setup, on the owner's real work, with approvals in place.
Configuring tools you already pay for, such as Google Workspace or a CRM, when that's the right work. I won't pretend every tool you name is one I should touch. If it's outside what I do, I'll say so on the call.
Custom internal tools or custom-built software when a setup is not enough.
Training, only if the team needs it to use the thing. That's a short session, not the job itself.
I'm in Inwood. The local page is Long Island and the Five Towns.
What I've shipped
Proof that the work gets finished, not an implementation case study. CardAdvisor is the one I built for PEYD. Who I am is on the about page.
A group-buying marketplace where people team up to buy together. Full app, real payments, in both app stores.
A trade analyzer for dynasty fantasy football. It reads your real league and roster, then tells you whether a trade is actually worth taking.
An AI tool that walks companies through picking the right corporate card for how they actually spend. Built for PEYD.
How we start
Talk
We get on a call. You tell me what you want working. No charge, no pitch.
Plan
I come back with what I'd do, why, and what it costs.
We implement
Then we get it running. A setup, a build, or both.
Google Meet is the default. I work in person in New York and on Long Island, and I don't travel in outside that area. In person costs more. A session is usually one to two hours.
FAQ
What is AI implementation for a small business?
Getting AI actually working in your operation, not leaving you with a plan to do it later. That can mean a Grok Bot setup, custom software, or both, depending on the work.
How is this different from AI consulting?
Consulting is how we figure out what to do. Implementation is how we get it working once that's clear. A lot of work starts with consulting. If you already know you want it built or set up, we can go straight to implementation.
Do you implement inside the tools we already use?
Yes. Implementation includes configuring tools you already pay for, like Google Workspace or a CRM, when that's the right work. It can also mean a Grok Bot setup, custom software, or both. I won't pretend every problem needs a new system.
Do you only work with Claude?
No. Most business owners I work with get set up on Grok Bot. When I build the software myself, I use Claude.
How do we start, and what does it cost?
We get on a call. You tell me what you want working. I come back with a plan and what it costs. The first conversation is free, and it is not a pitch.
