The output keeps missing the point.
“How do I get it to understand what I actually mean?”
We can look at the instructions and examples you supplied, find the details the app is missing and test a clearer way to ask.
Private AI sessions for business owners
Get past the part that’s slowing you down.
Bring an AI question or something you’ve started building. We’ll look at what you’re trying to do and work through the difficult part together.
This is a confidential, one-on-one session with me, shaped around your question and the business behind it.
30 minutes · $250 / 60 minutes · $400
Pay 60% to book. The balance is due after your session.
Start with the app you already use.
ChatGPT
Claude
Gemini
Copilot
Perplexity
Notion AI
These are examples of tools we can work with. I offer these sessions independently; the app companies do not sponsor or endorse them.
You can show up where you are
You know your business.
Let’s make the technology catch up.
Maybe you’ve spent an hour rephrasing the same instruction. Perhaps something works once and falls apart when you try it again. Or an idea seems possible, and you want to talk it through with someone who can see the moving parts.
Bring the rough version. You can share your screen, show an example and work at a pace that makes sense to you.
The aim is useful progress on what matters to you, with enough understanding to keep going afterward.
Questions worth bringing
What are you trying to get done?
A specific obstacle gives us a place to begin. These are examples of topics we can explore.
A promising idea has become a tangle.
“I started building this. Now I’m stuck.”
Bring the unfinished process, AI assistant or website. We can work out what is happening and which part to try next.
You need to know what to trust.
“That sounds convincing. Is it actually right?”
We can examine sources, assumptions and ways to check an answer before it affects a customer or a business decision.
Your documents are not helping enough.
“Why does it forget everything about my business?”
We can look at the documents and examples you give the app, which ones it can actually access and how to make the relevant details available.
There are too many plausible options.
“Can my current app do this, or do I need something else?”
We can compare approaches against your actual task, budget and comfort level. Keeping a tool you already know may be the useful move.
The experiment needs to fit real work.
“How do I turn this into something I can keep using?”
We can work through who would use the result, what needs checking and how to test it on a small example from your business.
Time you can keep using
Leave with a next move you understand.
Depending on your question, that may be a better prompt, a small change we tested together, or a decision about how to proceed.
Your PDF review arrives within two business days, so the reasoning remains useful when you return to the work.
Your session includes
- Private time with Jacob, focused on your situation.
- Screen sharing and hands-on exploration where useful.
- A written PDF review with decisions, next steps and open questions.
- One email clarification within seven days of receiving the review.
We work within the time you choose. Substantial implementation and ongoing support have a separate scope.
An experienced guide beside you
A useful answer needs to fit your business.
I’m Jacob. I design how a business’s records, software and instructions fit together, then build the agreed connections and tools.
That work includes company workspaces, AI assistants and custom websites. It helps me look at what happens before and after a prompt, as well as the answer on the screen.
My role in this session is to help you think clearly and make progress. You bring the business knowledge. I help you explore the technology, explain the tradeoffs and choose a manageable next step.

Pay the remaining balance after the session. Your written review arrives within two business days.
A private place to work it through
You can ask the unpolished question.
The conversation and your business material are treated as confidential. Recording and AI meeting assistants are off by default.
You control what you share. Use a redacted example if the work contains sensitive information, and keep passwords in your own account. If you need an NDA, contact me before booking so we can arrange it.
Do I need to know exactly what to ask?
A rough explanation is enough. Show me what you were trying to do and where it became frustrating. Part of the session is finding the question that will move the work forward.
Which AI apps can we work with?
Bring the app you use: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Notion AI, or another tool. I’m app-agnostic. We start with your goal and current setup. If the issue needs specialist access or knowledge beyond what I can responsibly help with, I’ll say so.
Should I choose 30 or 60 minutes?
Choose 30 minutes when you can show one specific issue quickly. Choose an hour when we need to understand the context, inspect several examples or try an approach together. If you are unsure, email a short description before paying.
How confidential is the conversation?
I treat your business information and the conversation as confidential. I won’t publish or share your material as an example without your permission. Recording and AI meeting assistants are off by default; we discuss and agree before using either. Tell me before booking if you need an NDA. The apps you choose still have their own data policies and settings, so use redacted examples when appropriate.
Can we actually work in my app during the session?
Yes. Share your screen and stay in control of your account. We can inspect outputs, adjust a prompt or setting, and test a small change when it fits the time. You do not need to send passwords. A complete build or substantial implementation would need its own agreed scope.
What if we cannot solve the whole problem?
Some problems need permissions, more testing or work beyond a single session. We use the time to understand the obstacle and identify a credible next step. A complete fix or a particular business result is not guaranteed. Any further work is your choice and is agreed separately.
What do I receive afterward?
Within two business days, you receive a PDF review covering what we examined, the reasoning, decisions and next steps. It also distinguishes what we established from what remains uncertain. One email clarification within seven days of receiving the review is included, with a corrected PDF if needed.
How do payment and booking work?
Pay a 60% deposit through Stripe: $150 for 30 minutes or $240 for an hour. You return here to choose your time through zcal. The remaining $100 or $160 is due after the session through a separate payment link; it is not automatically charged. All prices are in USD. Use the same email address for payment and booking.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Use the rescheduling link in your zcal confirmation or contact jacob@brandnewcolors.com as soon as possible. Contact me directly about cancellation or refund requests. If you need a particular date or have a question about arrangements, email me before paying.
Will I be expected to buy a larger engagement?
A session stands on its own. You can book another when it is useful. If your question grows into company-wide AI work, we can discuss that separately, with a clear scope and price.
How is this different from the $2,500 Read?
A private session helps with the question or project you bring. The Read is a separate $2,500 business assessment: a 90-minute session about an agreed business question, followed by a written report within two business days. It recommends one first change and explains why it may be worthwhile.
Start with what’s in front of you
Bring the problem.
We’ll give it some proper attention.
You can arrive with a half-formed question and the app already open.
