AI strategy and implementation, with a security mindset.

AI consulting for small businesses, schools, universities, and nonprofits. Practical, safe, and built to fit your budget.

Hi, I'm Joshua Whitaker, I've spent 20 years in IT, including 11+ in cybersecurity, so I know how to keep technology running and keep it safe. As an independent AI consultant I'll help you figure out where AI can save your team time, set it up safely, and train your people to use it with confidence.

Services

Plain-English help, scoped to what your team actually needs.

AI readiness and safe-use assessment

A clear look at where AI could help your team, where it shouldn't be used, and what to put in place first so you adopt it safely.

Workflow automation

Email, intake, reporting, and approvals: the repetitive work that eats your week, automated with a person kept in the loop for anything that matters.

AI acceptable-use and data-protection policy

A practical policy for staff that explains what tools are okay, what data stays out of them, and who to ask, written so people will actually read it.

Who I help

I work with open-source tools and tight budgets, so you don't need enterprise spending to get real value.

Small businesses

Owner-run teams buried in email, scheduling, and paperwork. We find the few tasks worth automating and leave the rest alone.

Schools and universities

Districts, schools, colleges, and universities that need to understand AI, protect student data, and set clear guidelines.

Nonprofits

Mission-driven teams with small staffs and limited funds. Practical, low-cost options that free up time for the work that matters.
