Friendly AI help • Serving all of Missouri
Hi, I'm David James. I teach real people — from busy business owners to curious neighbors — how to actually use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Plain English, friendly pace, no confusing tech-speak.
Workshops • One-on-One Coaching • Done-With-You Setups
Whether you're running a business or just plain curious, you're in the right place.
Realtors, insurance agencies, accountants, shops — you've heard AI can save time, but you don't have hours to figure it out. I'll show your team practical ways to use it.
You've got enough on your plate without wrestling new tech. I'll show you down-to-earth ways AI can save time on the paperwork, the planning, and the day-to-day — so you can stay focused on the land and the livestock.
Never typed a thing into ChatGPT? That's perfectly fine. We go slow, we have fun, and you'll leave knowing how to make AI genuinely helpful in everyday life.
Five friendly ways to get comfortable with AI. Every group is different, so let's just talk. Looking for something that runs your phone and your follow-up? See the AI agents below.

Eyes opened • Boots still muddy
You don't need to be a techie to use this. Here's the kind of thing AI is already doing for farmers and ranchers — and how we can put it to work on your place, in plain English.
Snap a photo of a sick plant or a weed and AI can help identify the pest, disease, or deficiency — and suggest what to check next. Catch trouble before it spreads.
Satellite and drone imagery, read by AI, shows which acres are thriving and which are stressed — so you spend inputs where they actually pay off.
Ask plain questions — "should I worry about this forecast for spraying?" or "explain these grain prices" — and get clear, useful answers instead of guesswork.
From calving alerts to herd records, AI tools help you spot problems sooner and keep track of what's happening without drowning in paperwork.
Grant applications, FSA forms, lease letters, spray logs — AI can draft, organize, and explain them in minutes, so you get back outside faster.
Walk through input costs, break-evens, and "what-if" scenarios in everyday language to help you make confident decisions for the season ahead.

I'm David James, and I live near Clinton, Missouri. After years working in IT, I kept noticing the same thing: the technology that's supposed to help folks often just leaves them feeling left behind. AI is the biggest one yet — and the hype around it can be downright intimidating.
So I started AI for Missouri with a simple goal: to make this stuff approachable and safe for regular people and local businesses — not scary, not salesy, just genuinely useful. I won't talk over your head, and I won't sell you something you don't need.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me enjoying everything our corner of Missouri has to offer — the lakes, the small towns, and good neighbors. I'd love to help yours.
