Practical AI and software help for Queens businesses.
Long Island City to Flushing. The 7, the E, the LIRR, or the car. I come to you.
Queens is the borough of businesses that actually make and move things: contractors, medical practices, import and distribution, restaurants with three locations, family firms on their second generation. These are the companies where a week of manual work hides in a spreadsheet, and where fixing that pays for itself in a month. I have done exactly that for a federal contractor, turning a week of report reconciliation into about a minute of input.
The travel fee is the same flat $50 as the rest of the city. Long Island City is a short hop on the 7 or the E from Midtown; Flushing, Jamaica and Forest Hills I usually drive to, which also means I can bring hardware when the job needs it.
Where AI pays off for a Queens business
Not chatbots. The wins are in paperwork: invoices that arrive as PDFs and have to be typed into QuickBooks, customer emails that need sorting and answering, estimates that take an afternoon to assemble from last year's jobs, compliance documents that have to be checked against a rule set. I ran a bookkeeping company and built QuickBooks integrations for clients before AI existed; I know where the hours go.
The first engagement is usually a three-hour session at your shop. We find the one process that costs the most time, and I either fix it on the spot or come back with a fixed price to build it.
Training for the people who will actually run it
An owner does not need to become a programmer. The person in the office who already keeps the books, schedules the crews, or manages the listings does need to be able to direct an AI tool and check its work. That is what the one-to-one sessions and the Bootcamp teach, and it is why the Bootcamp is built around a real project from your own business rather than exercises.
For a team, the Unleashing AI seminar runs on site in about four hours. Everyone leaves having directed a live agent to build something, with a working result on their own laptop.
Long Island City and the tech side of Queens
LIC has a real cluster of startups and studios now, and those engagements look more like Manhattan work: architecture reviews, getting a prototype to production, setting up a multi-agent system on your own cloud. The Orchestration Setup offer, from $500, was built for exactly that team.
Three ways to start
- Book a session. $150 an hour or $375 for three, Zoom or on-site with the flat $50 fee. Book here.
- Learn to do it yourself. The 13-week Bootcamp ($4,500 once or $1,650/month for three), the Unleashing AI seminar, or The Forge, which is free.
- Get a system installed. Orchestration Setup puts a multi-agent AI stack on your own cloud from $500. Larger builds are scoped after a first session.
Questions people in Queens ask
Do you come out to eastern Queens, or just LIC and Astoria?
All of it. Flushing, Bayside, Jamaica and the Rockaways are the same flat $50 travel fee; I drive to those rather than take the train.
My business is not technical. Is this still for me?
Most Queens clients are not. The work is finding the process that eats your time and automating or fixing it, then teaching whoever runs your office to keep it running. No jargon required on your side.
Can you connect to QuickBooks, our scheduling software, or our vendor portal?
Usually yes. I have built QuickBooks integrations professionally, and most modern tools have an API. Where there is no API, there is almost always a file export, which is enough.
