I put AI to work in your business by hand: a working session on your real tasks, or Claude installed on your own computer with guardrails and training. What I set up is yours. Websites and menus are a product of their own — Patchlamp.
Here's what working with me looks like — no jargon to learn, no developer to wait on.
Say it like you'd say it to a person — in Claude on your computer: "Draft the reply to this email in our voice," or "Turn this spreadsheet into a monthly report."
Claude works in your own files and tools, under the house rules we wrote together — the draft is in your inbox, the report is in the folder. No ticket, no waiting.
You review before anything leaves the building, and I show you how to see and undo what it did. Guardrails are written down, not assumed.
Everything I set up runs on your computer under your accounts — if you and I part ways, you keep all of it. A website you change by texting is a different thing: that's Patchlamp, a service that runs on my systems, with its own plans and terms.
Real prices, published on purpose. Every engagement starts with a working session, and the session fee comes off any package you book within 30 days.
For anyone who wants to actually use AI, not just hear about it.
60 minutes · $250 for a 2-hour deep dive
For business owners who want a capable AI assistant that knows their business.
one-time install · optional care plan $79/mo
Installs are quoted as a fixed price after a discovery session — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Nobody is ever stuck.
A website you change by texting it: Patch, the operator, makes the change, checks it's live and texts you back, usually in a minute. Nothing to install, no logins. Six plans from $20 a month with usage included; Standard is $250 with a built site and me on call. Every price is on patchlamp.com.

There are a lot of AI consultants right now. Most of them can't read the code the AI writes. I'm a full-stack engineer who builds and ships production software — which means when AI does the work, I can verify it, correct it, and put guardrails around it. That's the difference between "AI advice" and AI you can run your business on. See my engineering work →
No. If you can describe what you want in a text message, you can use everything I set up. The technical part is my job — that's what the install is.
On your computer, Claude works inside the folders and rules we set, and I show you how to review and undo what it does in the first session. For a website changed by text, that's Patchlamp's job: every change is saved in the site's history and any change can be undone by asking.
Yes. Your accounts, your code, your data, and your AI subscription. Unlike all-in-one AI startups, nothing I set up holds your business hostage: the install runs on your machine under your account, and the written house rules are yours to keep.
The care plan is optional. AI tools change monthly, and a setup that isn't maintained slowly stops being useful; $79 a month keeps your install current, with a monthly check-in and a written report. Skip it and everything still works — you just maintain it yourself.
That's Patchlamp, not a session: pick a plan, pay, and you're texting Patch the same day. The install and the sessions are for the rest of your business — email, documents, spreadsheets, the work that isn't the website.
The best first step is a $150 working session: we put AI on a real task in your business, and you see exactly how this works before committing to anything bigger. Book a package within 30 days and the session is free.
