How It Works

1

We Listen First

We start with a free conversation to understand your business, your biggest headaches, and what you're hoping AI can do for you.

2

We Make a Plan

We put together a clear, jargon-free plan that fits your budget and timeline — no surprises, no upsells you didn't ask for.

3

We Build It

We do the technical heavy lifting while keeping you in the loop at every step. You'll always know what's happening and why.

5

We Stick Around

Once it's live, we make sure it's actually working for you. We're a local business too — we're not going anywhere.

Who We Are

Your Portland Neighbor
Who Happens to Know AI

I'm Chad, and I started Stumptown AI after 20+ years in tech and customer service — from Apple to running my own tech concierge business in New Orleans. I've spent my career making technology simple for real people, and now I'm doing the same thing with AI for Portland small businesses.

I'm based right here in Northwest Portland. I care about this community, and I believe every local business deserves the same advantages that big corporations are getting from AI — without the big price tag or the confusing tech talk.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions we hear most. No fluff, no sales pitch.

Every project is different, so we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. What we can tell you is that we work with small businesses, not enterprise budgets. Most of our clients start with a small, focused project in the $500–$2,500 range. We'll give you a clear, honest quote after our let's talk — no surprises.

None at all. We explain everything in plain English and we handle all the technical work. If you can use email and a smartphone, you can work with us. Our job is to make AI simple for you, not to impress you with jargon.

We can usually have a first conversation within a few days of you reaching out. Smaller projects — like setting up an automation or a simple AI tool — can be live within 1–2 weeks. Bigger projects take longer, but we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you know what to expect.

Yes — and honestly, small businesses often see bigger gains than large ones because there's less bureaucracy in the way. The key is finding the right problem to solve, which is what our let's talk is all about.

We don't lock you into long contracts. If something isn't working, we'll fix it or tell you honestly that a different approach would serve you better. We're a local business — our reputation in Portland matters more to us than any single project fee.

We're based in Portland and love working with local businesses face-to-face, but we work with clients remotely too. If you're in the Portland metro area, we're happy to meet in person. If you're elsewhere in Oregon or beyond, we can do everything over video call.
