The Problem

You Know AI Can Help.
You Just Don't Know Where to Start.

Every week there's a new AI tool promising to change everything. Most small businesses try a few, nothing sticks, and six months later they're back to doing everything manually — wasting money and momentum.

The real problem isn't access to AI tools. It's knowing which ones fit your business, how to redesign workflows around them, and how to get your team to actually use them.

About Todd

I Don't Just Advise on AI.
I Build With It.

I'm an AI practitioner first, consultant second. Right now I'm at Amazon designing AI-powered learning programs supporting 350,000+ employees. Before that, I spent nearly a decade at Dell Technologies as a key contributor to the team that shaped global training for 158,000 learners.

In my Amazon role, I personally architected 5 custom AI assistants, engineered advanced prompts at scale, and built agentic AI workflows that cut deployment times by 50%. I know what it takes to get AI adopted inside real organizations with real resistance to change.

When you work with Todd Stone Consulting, you get someone doing this right now, at scale — translating hard-won enterprise lessons directly into your business.

Credibility

Enterprise Expertise,
Accessible to You

Working with Todd Stone Consulting has been one of the best investments I've made in my business. Todd helped me streamline my administrative processes, organize my systems, and create workflows that have saved me time and reduced the day-to-day stress of running my business. What I appreciated most was that he didn't just tell me what to do — he took the time to understand how I work and built solutions that fit my business and my style. I now have clearer processes, better organization, and more confidence that the behind-the-scenes aspects of my business are running efficiently. If you're a small business owner who feels overwhelmed by operations or administrative tasks, I highly recommend Todd Stone Consulting. His expertise, practical approach, and ability to simplify complex systems have allowed me to spend more time focusing on my clients.
Kim Neufeld — ADHD & Professional Transitions Coach, Kim Neufeld Life
Working with Todd Stone has been one of the best investments I've made in my solo psychotherapy private practice. He helped me streamline the administrative side of my business and organize my social media in ways that have saved me a significant amount of time and money. What really set him apart wasn't just that he created efficient systems — it was that he took the time to explain everything in language I could actually understand. As someone who can easily feel overwhelmed by the technical side of running a business, his patience, encouragement, and willingness to answer every question made all the difference. I never felt rushed or judged, and I left each interaction feeling more confident and capable of managing my business. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to simplify their systems, improve efficiency, and have someone in their corner who genuinely cares about helping them succeed.

Common Questions

Questions Business Owners Ask Before Getting Started

How is this different from watching free AI tutorials online?
Tutorials teach tools in isolation. I map your specific workflows first, then match tools to the bottlenecks that cost you the most time, build the prompts and SOPs your team will use, and train them until it sticks. You get a working system, not a list of tips.
Do we need technical staff to implement AI?
No. Everything I implement uses off-the-shelf tools your team already knows how to open, configured with custom prompts and clear SOPs written in plain language. My clients include solo therapists and coaches with no technical background.
What if my team resists using AI?
Adoption is my specialty. I spent 20 years designing training programs for organizations including Amazon and Dell, and every engagement includes hands-on team training plus a manager playbook. Tools only save money when people actually use them.
Which AI tools do you recommend?
It depends on your workflows, which is the honest answer most vendors will not give you. I am tool-agnostic and work across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and dozens of specialized tools. The Opportunity Audit identifies exactly which ones fit your business before you spend anything on subscriptions.
Should I start with a course or a consulting engagement?
Start with the free AI Prompt Essentials course if you want to explore on your own, or the $97 Bootcamp if you are ready to build workflows yourself. Choose consulting when you want the analysis, setup, and team training done for you. Many clients start with a course and move to an engagement later.
How quickly will we see results?
Most clients see measurable time savings within the first two weeks of implementation, starting with high-frequency tasks like email, reporting, and documentation. The ROI calculator above gives you a realistic estimate for your team size and workflows.
