AI consultant · Jersey City · Hudson County · New York

An AI consultant for small businesses.
First call is free.

I work with contractors, sales offices and home offices. I find the two or three places AI actually saves you hours every week, build it into the tools you already use, and teach your people to run it. $225 an hour, or a fixed price with a written scope. Thirty years of engineering, one person who answers for all of it.

What I fix

The work that eats your week.

Office work
Quotes, follow-ups, paperwork

Estimates written from a photo and a voice note. Follow-up emails that go out on their own. Invoices, permits and forms filled from what you already typed once.

You stop doing it by hand.

Your systems
AI inside the tools you have

QuickBooks, your CRM, Gmail, the spreadsheet everyone is afraid of. I connect AI to them so answers come to you, instead of you hunting through six logins.

Nothing to replace, nothing to re-enter.

Your people
Training that sticks

Half a day with your team at your desks, on your real work. Which AI to trust, which to check, and what never to paste into one. Written up so the next hire gets it too.

They use it the next morning.

How it goes

Free call. Working session. Fixed price. Keys.

Step 1
$0

Twenty minutes on the phone or Zoom. You tell me what hurts; I tell you straight whether AI fixes it, how I would do it, and what it would cost.

Step 2
$225

An hour on Zoom, or $625 for a half day at your desk in Jersey City, Hoboken, NYC and nearby, travel included. We work on the real thing and you leave with a fix or a scope.

Step 3
Fixed price

Bigger builds are quoted with a written scope. Part up front, balance on delivery. Changes quoted before they are done.

Step 4
Yours

Accounts, code and credentials in your name, with notes. I do not need leverage to get you to come back.

Who you are talking to
JP Howlett
JP Howlett Modus Promethean · Jersey City, NJ

Thirty-plus years as a software engineer and systems architect, six of them running infrastructure on Wall Street, and a few more running a bookkeeping company where I built the QuickBooks integrations myself. I have spent the last three years putting AI to work in real businesses, including my own. I do the work myself; on bigger builds I direct other engineers and AI agents and answer for the result.

Result
A week of work became a minute.

An ERP connector for Fastbolt, now part of AFC Industries, that replaced a week of manual reconciliation with a minute of input. Still running under the new owners. Read it →

Confidential
What I see stays with you.

Your customer list, your pricing, your margins. I sign what you need signed, and I never train anything on your data or show your business as an example without your written say-so.

Local
Ten minutes away.

Based in Jersey City. On-site half days across Hudson County, Newark and Manhattan with travel included. Everywhere else on Zoom.

Tell me what hurts.

One reply, usually the same day, with a couple of times to talk. No card, no obligation.
