Services
AI enablement for small businesses.
Practical AI, set up for you and priced up front. We put it to work on the jobs that eat your week, and a person still approves what your customers see.
Start where the time goes
Most owners don't need an AI strategy. They need leads answered faster, reviews replied to and fewer hours spent retyping the same things. We start with a short call about your week and pick the one or two places AI will pay for itself first.
We work with businesses anywhere in the United States over Zoom, and in person across Eastern Iowa.
Answer every lead
An AI chat assistant answers visitors' questions from your own content, day and night. It is $499 to set up and $49 a month. Add booking and quote intake for $399 and it collects the job details and books a time.
Smart lead handling summarizes and sorts every form lead and drafts a reply for you: $299 to set up and $19 a month. After-hours AI phone answering takes messages and answers the basics for $299 to set up and $99 a month, with call usage billed at cost.
Stay visible without the writing
A reply is drafted for every new Google review for $79 a month, and two posts a month are written in your voice for $199 a month. You read and approve each one before it is published.
Every website we build is also set up to be found in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers, at no extra cost.
Train your team
The staff AI setup and workshop is $899: two hours for up to 10 people, built around the work your team does every day rather than a generic demo.
Bigger projects, such as an internal assistant that answers staff questions from your own manuals, or workflow automation that connects invoices, follow-ups and reminders, are scoped and quoted after a discovery call.
A person stays in charge
These tools draft, sort and answer the basics. Replies, posts and anything sensitive come to you for approval first, and we tell you exactly what each tool can see before it is switched on.
We don't promise a number of hours saved. We set it up, measure what changes with you, and keep what works.
For insurance agencies
Insurance agents can also join the Agency AI Builder Program: an eight-session live course, taught by a former agency owner, on building your own agency tools with AI. Details are at tide-wire.com/ai-course.
FAQ
AI enablement FAQ.
What does AI enablement cost?
Each tool has a fixed price. The staff workshop is $899, the website chat assistant is $499 plus $49 a month, lead handling is $299 plus $19 a month, and review responses are $79 a month. Custom automation is quoted after a discovery call.
Do I need a new website to use these?
Not always. Several of these tools can be added to the website you already have. The chat assistant and lead handling connect to your site's pages and forms, so we check what is possible on the discovery call.
Will AI talk to my customers without me knowing?
Review replies and content are drafts for you to approve. The chat assistant answers from your own content, and the after-hours phone assistant takes messages and answers the basics. You decide which of them are switched on.
Do you only work with businesses in Iowa?
No. AI enablement is set up and taught over Zoom for businesses anywhere in the United States. We also meet clients in person across Eastern Iowa.
