What AI can do for a small business
The work starts with the parts of a business that cost time and money: answering customers, handling paperwork, keeping a website current and turning data the business already has into new revenue.
Smoother operations
Repetitive work like sorting email, entering data and updating listings gets prepared for staff review and approval, so staff spend their time on customers.
Revenue growth
Tools that bring visitors back, content that ranks and websites built to turn visitors into customers.
Happier customers
Website tools built to help customers find answers, choose a service and get in touch.
AI systems already running on his own projects
A reliability database car shoppers can check
The Weekly Driver scores vehicle reliability from federal NHTSA complaint and recall data. AI helps classify the complaint and recall text and drafts buyer-guide summaries, and a person approves them. AI is used only for reliability and recalls.
Grocery price tools with a person in the loop
SacGroceries shows price history on product pages and has a "one store or several?" planner that counts the gas. AI reads store flyers and customer photo submissions, and a person approves each one before anything publishes.
Keeping a large content library current
MK Library uses AI to manage affiliate links, suggest internal links between related articles and spot content that has gone stale.
A house that tinkers back
At home, Michael runs Home Assistant for dashboards, energy monitoring and the occasional reminder that the garage door is still open.

Sacramento through and through
Michael paddles at Lake Natoma, eats at the restaurants on R Street and spends Sunday mornings at the midtown farmers market. Sacramento is home, and it shapes the work.
This city has a way of turning people into builders. The farm-to-fork movement started here because people cared about where their food came from. That same energy runs through the local business community, the maker spaces and the people launching coffee shops, breweries and restaurants. Frog Stone Media builds for that world: water conditions so paddlers know before they load up the car, grocery prices so families can stretch their budget and tree guides written for the Central Valley climate.
