Personal AI, done for you
Everyone's being told to "use AI." Almost no one is shown how to make it genuinely useful for their work, their inbox, their calendar, their goals. That's what I do — one-on-one. We set up a personal assistant that actually fits, and I stay with you until it's earning its keep.
Independent consulting from Designed Intelligence LLC, serving the San Francisco Bay Area. No jargon, no lock-in — you own everything we build.
Ways to work together
Not sure? Start with a free intro call and we'll figure out the right fit together.
Single consultation
A focused working session to scope what a personal AI assistant could do for you — and get a first, real version running before we hang up.
Done-with-you, end to end
We build your assistant properly: connected to your calendar, email, notes and the workflows you actually repeat — then tuned until it feels like it knows you.
Monthly retainer
For when the assistant becomes part of how you work. I keep it healthy, add new capabilities as your needs change, and you always have a human to ask.
Pricing shared on the intro call, once we know your scope — no surprise packages, no upsells.
How it works
We talk through your work, your tools, and the moments that eat your time. No prep needed — just show up as you are.
I recommend the right assistant and setup for you specifically — matched to your privacy comfort, budget, and how hands-on you want to be.
We build it together and connect it to your real life. You watch it happen, so nothing is a black box you can't touch later.
I make sure it sticks — refining, answering questions, and adding capabilities as you get more comfortable.
About
I've spent the last couple of years learning what actually works with this technology — and what doesn't. I've built personal assistants that manage my household chores, plan my social life, and hunt down new career opportunities. Not demos. Things I use every day.
I take a design-centric approach, which is where the name comes from. It means I start with you, not the tools. The first question is never "which AI should you use?" — it's what part of your life do you want to make easier? We work back from your answer.
I work only with clients local to the Bay Area, and I keep the shop small on purpose. Fewer clients means everyone gets my full attention — and nobody gets handed off to someone else.
