A working group for the people actually using AI in Lakeville.
For owners, operators, and the manager who got handed "figure out AI" on a Thursday. Plain English. Real questions. Honest answers. No vendor pitches. No theory decks.
From Lakeville. For Lakeville. And anyone close enough to make it.
Local
For Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, and the rest of the south-metro. Held in a Lakeville-area room. Free or kept friendly enough that anyone can show up.
Practical
No vendor pitches. No theory decks. Just the AI questions your team is actually asking — worked through together over coffee.
Honest
What works. What doesn't. What's worth your money and what's hype. Real cases from businesses like yours, in plain English.
The questions your team is already asking, just out loud.
Customer support
Where does AI actually help — and where does it backfire?
Hiring + HR
Resume screening, scheduling, drafting a policy — what's actually safe to hand off?
Pricing + quoting
Using AI for proposals and estimates without losing your judgment.
Data + risk
What's safe to paste into ChatGPT? Where's the line for your industry?
Vendor choices
Cutting through the AI-sales-pitch fog. What's worth paying for.
Most advisors hand you finished tools. We hand you the keys.
The thing nobody is telling business owners in 2026: a $4-a-month Linux computer on the internet plus an SSH key plus an AI that writes code is the most underrated business stack in a decade. It's what we run our own work on. It's what we teach you to run yours on.
Not a SaaS we resell. Not a platform you depend on us for. Your server. Your code. Your data. If we vanish tomorrow, your tools keep working.
See how it works → ~6 hours from "never SSH'd" to "shipped your first tool"It costs you nothing to start. Sessions are free. The AI tools are free. You can run your first tool on your laptop. The $4 only kicks in when you put it on the internet — and only if you want to. See the honest cost ladder →
