Practical AI help

Bring the work that needs working through.

Hands On AI Lab teaches people and organizations to use AI in a way that leaves them more capable, not more dependent. That starts with free community workshops, and continues into paid work when someone wants more time with one particular piece of it. Every paid service begins with one real task, question, workflow, or project.

Community comes first

Free workshops stand on their own.

The community work comes first. A free workshop is a place to learn, ask questions, and decide what is useful—not a preview of something you have to buy later. Paid work is separate, for a person or team that wants more time with one particular piece of work. A partner-hosted event may charge for meals, venue costs, or other program expenses only when the individual event listing says so.

Have a workflow or problem that may need more than one conversation?

For a small business or team with one meaningful workflow to examine.

  • Two in-person 90-minute sessions, 14–28 days apart
  • 6 remote support sessions of 15 minutes
  • A 30-day support window after the second session

  • Built for phones first
  • You own the site and the source code
  • Larger builds scoped and quoted individually

A clear starting point

Start with what is in front of you.

If you know what you need, choose a service and see available times. If you're unsure, ask a question first. We'll make sure we both understand the goal, who is involved, what I can help with, and what is outside the scope before any paid work begins.

Hands On AI Lab accepts paid work only when the request fits a defined service and Christopher is confident he can provide practical value within the available scope. Travel, venue expenses, and third-party subscriptions are excluded unless agreed to in writing.
