Services
The software is the easy part. The hard part is picking the right process and making it run safely. I work with owner-run businesses and practices that don’t have developers on staff and don’t want a big firm.
- Front office: intake forms, appointment reminders, answers to common questions
- Back office: document collection, invoice matching, bookkeeping prep, billing follow-up
- Paperwork: first drafts from your own templates, certificates, quotes and reports
- Insurance and payers: eligibility checks, claim follow-up, renewals
How it works
- Process audit. I talk with the people who do the work, map where the time goes and rank the top tasks worth automating. You get a short report and a 90-day plan, and you can do it yourself from there if you want.
- First build. One automation on your existing tools. It only touches what it needs, a person approves anything that matters, every action is logged, and there is an off switch.
- Training and care. A hands-on half day for your team, then monthly tuning and fixes if you want them.

Common questions
What does an AI automation consultant do for a small business?
An AI automation consultant finds the repeat paperwork in your week, decides which of it is worth automating, and sets it up in the tools you already use. Mike Moore starts with a process audit, then builds one automation with a person approving anything that matters.
Who does AI automation consulting between Portland and Seattle?
Mike Moore is an independent AI automation consultant based in Woodland, WA. He works on site with small businesses and practices along I-5 from Portland and Vancouver through Kelso, Longview, Olympia and Tacoma to Seattle, and remotely anywhere.
How much does AI automation consulting cost for a small business?
Mike Moore's small office starter is $2,500. A full process audit is $5,000. Builds start at $7,500 for small offices and $15,000 for larger teams. Training starts at $1,500 and care starts at $750 a month.
Is AI safe for law firms and medical offices?
It can be when it is set up carefully: business tools with proper contracts, such as a HIPAA business associate agreement, patient and client data kept inside approved tools, limited access, a record of every action, and a person approving anything that matters.
Do I need technical staff to use AI automation?
No. The automations run inside tools your team already uses, and training is in plain language for the people doing the work.
