You know AI is important. You just don't know where to safely start.

😵

AI overwhelm

You've maybe sat through a Coursera or Udemy AI course, spent hours on it, and felt none the wiser. By the time those programs are recorded and uploaded, the information is already old. You need a real person, in real time.

Drowning in admin

You're copy-pasting data, rewriting the same emails, and building the same reports every week. Hours of your life going to work a computer should be doing for you.

🔒

Privacy anxiety

You're nervous about what happens to your data when you use AI. Even the head of America's cybersecurity agency accidentally leaked sensitive files to ChatGPT. It happens to everyone.

How I Help

Three ways to work together.

Every session is hands-on and built around your actual life and workflow. Watch a preview of each below.

⚙️

Workflow Automation

Save 3–5 hours every week

I audit exactly what you do every week — then we set up automations using Zapier, Make.com, and AI so the repetitive stuff runs itself. Copy-pasting, report building, email drafting — gone. You keep the hours.

Custom App in One Session

Built live, installed on your phone

In a single 60-minute session I build a custom tool tailored to your exact need and walk you through every step — so you can build the next one yourself. See how I built my own habit app and how it changed my health.

Your Own Private AI Agent

A custom AI built for your business alone

Imagine an AI assistant that knows your business, speaks in your voice, uses only your documents and data, and runs privately — not on a public platform where your information trains someone else's model. I build it with you, set it up, and hand you the keys.

Perfect for small business owners, consultants, and professionals who want the power of AI without the privacy risk. This is cutting-edge — most people don't even know this is possible yet.

I'll come to you.
Manhattan & beyond.

Online courses move too fast, go out of date before they're even uploaded, and can't answer your specific question. I sit next to you for a full 60-minute session — at a coffee shop, a library room, or your office — and we work on your actual situation together. It's also just nicer to learn from another human being.

Group sessions and workplace team trainings available. If you're bringing AI to your office, let's do it right.

Not a programmer.
Just a regular guy
who figured it out.

I'm not a developer, an engineer, or a tech insider. I'm an administrator — the kind of person who spends their day coordinating programs, managing data, and trying to keep up with a relentless pile of tasks.

A few years ago I started using AI tools seriously, and everything changed. I automated most of my own workload. I built tools my team uses every day. I got my hours back. And I did all of it without writing a single line of code.

Most people only know ChatGPT — and barely scratch the surface. They've never heard of Claude. They don't know AI agents exist. And they have no idea how to safely bring any of this into their workplace. That's the exact gap I help close.

I started ClearDesk AI because I believe everyone deserves a real person sitting next to them — not another rabbit hole to fall into. Someone who looks at your actual job, your actual week, and says: here's exactly what to do.
