Why founders sign up

Most people try Claude in a browser, ask one question, and never come back. They're missing the setup nobody shows you. That setup is what I do — in person, in your office, in your voice.

IS THIS YOU?

You already know AI matters. You just haven't had time, patience, or the right person to help.

These three statements describe almost every small-business owner we talk to in the Panhandle. If any sound familiar, we're built for you.

01 / SOUND FAMILIAR?

"I keep meaning to learn it."

You watch a YouTube video, get confused, close the tab, and go back to writing the same email you've written 200 times.

02 / SOUND FAMILIAR?

"I tried it. It felt like Google."

You opened ChatGPT or Claude in a browser, asked one question, and never came back. The real power is the setup nobody shows you.

03 / SOUND FAMILIAR?

"It feels too technical."

You shouldn't need to learn prompts and plugins to run your business. You need someone who'll just set it up for you.

Richard Scherzinger, Founder of Panhandle AI Co.
FROM THE FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Richard. I built this for the people my neighbors hire.

I live in the Eastern Panhandle. I work with small-business owners every day — and I kept watching them buy ChatGPT subscriptions they never used.

The problem isn't the technology. The problem is that nobody local has time to sit with an owner and just set it up. So I started Panhandle AI Co.

We come to your office. We get Claude running on your actual computer with your actual files. We train you. We don't leave until it works. Then we stay on as your support line so you never get stuck.

That's the whole offer. There's nothing more to it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions you're probably asking.

Honest answers in plain English. If something isn't here, just .

I've never used Claude. Will I be lost?

That's exactly who this is built for. You don't need any prior AI experience. We do the setup, walk you through how to use it, hand you a one-page cheat sheet, and send you a 5-minute video to refer back to. Most clients are running their first real workflow before we leave the room.

What's the difference between Claude and ChatGPT?

For your purposes, they're cousins. Claude has a desktop app that reads your actual computer files, runs tasks while you sleep, and operates your browser — none of which the free ChatGPT in a browser tab can do. That's why we set Claude up on your computer instead of just bookmarking a website.

Do I need to buy Claude separately?

Yes. Claude Pro is $20/month and goes on your card, not ours. We don't mark up the subscription — it's between you and Anthropic, the company that makes Claude. We just make sure it's worth what you're paying for.

What about my data and my clients' privacy?

Files we put in your Claude workspace live on your computer and your cloud drive — not Anthropic's servers. On the paid Claude plan, your data isn't used to train AI models. The intake form asks what's off-limits, and we keep that out of the system entirely.

I'm not very tech-savvy. Is this really for me?

Yes. Most of our clients aren't either. We don't ask you to learn the technology — we set it up so it does what you already do, just faster and with your voice. If you can open an email and click a link, you can use what we build.

Where do you meet for the setup session?

Two options: we come to your office (preferred — Claude works better when set up where your real files live), or we set up over a screen-share video call. In-person sessions in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan counties are included.

What if I cancel the Care Plan later?

Cancel any time — no contract, no penalty. Your Claude setup keeps working without us; you just lose monthly check-ins, new automations, and the priority text-support line. Most clients keep it because Claude itself keeps changing.

How is this different from hiring an IT consultant or VA?

An IT consultant does networks and computers. A VA does tasks. We do neither. We build the system that lets you get more done in the same amount of time, with the help of AI that knows your business.

What kinds of businesses is this best for?

Anyone with knowledge work and repetition: real estate agents, contractors, accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, insurance agents, marketers, healthcare practices, consultants. If you spend more than 5 hours a week writing emails, drafting documents, or hunting for information — you'll save the setup cost back in time inside a month.

What happens after the 10 founding spots fill?

Prices return to standard rates ($697 / $997 / $297). Existing founding clients keep their locked-in $197/month Care Plan forever. We may start a waitlist for the next batch — you can join from any button on this page.
