AI Enablement

AI that lightens the load, not another thing to manage.

Most teams don't need more tools. They need someone to cut through the noise, find the few that matter, and help their people actually use them. That's what I do: practically, ethically, and with your capacity in mind. I've run an AI startup, written the grants that funded it, and shipped my own AI products, so my advice comes from doing, not from a webinar.

Free intro call. Assessments from $2,500.

What I offer

Clear offers, clear starting prices.

I keep pricing transparent so you can self-qualify before we ever talk. Nonprofit and sliding-scale rates are real: mission budgets are why I do this work. Every engagement starts with the assessment, and every recommendation is filtered through one question: does this reduce the load on a human being?

The AI Fit Assessment

Seven deliverables, one honest map.

A workflow audit plus team interviews, typically two to four weeks depending on the size of your team, always tool-agnostic. You walk away with a plan you could hand to anyone, and a debrief where I tell you the truth, even when the truth is that you don't need me.

If a recommendation ever touches a tool I built, I say so out loud and show you the alternatives first. That rule is the whole business.

Proof, not promises

I build the things I recommend.

Before I ever advised anyone on AI, I co-founded and led a Canadian AI startup for five years, and I still ship software every week. Happy Grants is my grant-discovery and writing tool for Canadian nonprofits and small businesses: it searches 3,500+ live grants, awards and challenges, explains the fit, and drafts with you while you stay the author.

One honest rule comes with that: if a tool I built ever shows up in a recommendation to you, I say so out loud and show you the alternatives first.

What a client says

Mocha designed and built the Soul Vibes website, and she still takes care of it for me. She moved everything over from Squarespace and set up booking and payments so my clients can do both in one spot. I'm genuinely proud to share the site now.

What I love most is how easy she makes it. I send her the words I want on a page and it's live the same day, usually before I've had time to overthink it. She brings ideas to the table that make the site better, and she makes the whole process feel collaborative.

Before you book

The questions teams ask me first.

What if AI isn't right for us?

Then the assessment says so. You still leave with a map of where AI helps, where it hinders and where to hold back, and a debrief where I tell you the truth, even when the truth is that you don't need me.

Will you push the tools you built?

No. If a tool I built ever shows up in a recommendation, I say so out loud and show you the alternatives first. The tool shortlist always includes tools I didn't build.

What happens to our data?

Privacy is built into the work: every tool on your shortlist comes with privacy notes, and the Guardrails Starter gives you a first-draft AI-use policy with data-privacy do's and don'ts before anyone starts pasting in donor or client details.

How long does the assessment take, and what does it cost?

Typically two to four weeks, depending on the size of your team. $2,500 to $5,000 CAD, scoped to team size. Nonprofit and sliding-scale rates are real; SME assessments are quoted individually.

Our team is anxious about AI. Is this for us?

That's who I built it for. Every recommendation is filtered through one question: does this reduce the load on a human being? The workshops take teams from anxious to capable, with tools they'll open on Monday.

Do you work outside Vancouver?

Yes. Workshops run in person around Vancouver or virtually, wherever your team is.
