The first win is measurable, low-risk, and close to revenue.

Reduce Admin Time

Cut time on intake, follow-ups, meeting notes, documentation, estimates, proposals, and recurring status updates.

Improve Response Speed

Respond faster to leads, clients, and internal requests with AI-assisted drafts, routing, summaries, and triggers.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AI consulting, implementation, and training.

What is an AI Time Back Audit?

An AI Time Back Audit ranks workflow constraints by customer or revenue impact, capacity, margin, execution value, readiness, and risk, then recommends a safe first 30-day implementation path.

How long does a practical AI implementation take to build?

The core implementation offer is a 30-Day AI Workflow Sprint. We select one to three practical workflows, design the handoffs and approval rules, build or configure the right assistant or automation pattern, and train the team on real usage.

How do you help us implement AI?

We start with one recurring workflow, map the task and handoffs, choose the right assistant or agent pattern, implement the workflow, and train your team to use it safely. The goal is practical adoption: offload work, improve quality, and make AI useful in daily operations.

What Microsoft Copilot courses do you offer?

We deliver 11 official Microsoft 365 Copilot courses (MS-4002, MS-4004, MS-4010, MS-4014, MS-4015, MS-4017, MS-4018, MS-4019, MS-4021, MS-4022, and MS-4023), plus Azure AI, Power BI, Power Platform, and custom workshops.

How much does AI consulting cost?

Pricing depends on scope. The usual entry point is an AI Time Back Audit, followed by a scoped 30-Day AI Workflow Sprint when there is a clear implementation candidate. Managed AI Operations is available for ongoing improvement and support.

What industries do you serve?

We specialize in stable, process-driven businesses: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and home services; dental offices and healthcare practices; construction and property management; legal and professional services; accounting and insurance; restaurants and fitness studios. These businesses benefit most from AI automation because their processes are repeatable.

Where are you located?

AIA Copilot is based in Traverse City, Michigan. We work with clients across the United States and deliver training both in-person and virtually. Most consulting and development work is done remotely, with on-site engagements available when needed.

Ready to find the first workflow worth improving?

Start with an AI Time Back Audit. We will identify the constraint with the strongest business case, score the safest workflow candidates, and map the path to a measurable first implementation.
