Too many tools, too little time
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, n8n, Make — which one is right for your use case? Nobody on your team has time to figure it out.
Monthly AI Retainer — Limited Spots
Your dedicated AI guy. Every month.
AI moves fast. You run a business. I bridge the gap — finding, implementing, and maintaining the right AI tools for your team, so you never fall behind.
Sound familiar?
The AI problem every small team faces
📰
The news cycle is overwhelming
A major AI release drops every week. You can't afford to read everything, but you can't afford to miss what matters either.
🚫
One-off consultants disappear
You hired someone for a workshop or a project. It helped for a week, then the tools changed and you're back to square one.
🏁
Your competitors are moving faster
The businesses pulling ahead right now have someone guiding their AI strategy. You need that person in your corner.
Your Advisor
Raphael Kairy
Over the past 20 years I've worked closely with hundreds of businesses — from small teams to large enterprises — across dozens of industries. In pre-sales and technical advisory roles, I sat inside their operations: learning their workflows, understanding their decisions, and helping them optimize. That experience is what makes my AI work different. I don't start with the technology — I start with how your business actually runs, and find where AI creates the most leverage.

How the retainer works
A simple, ongoing partnership designed to keep you ahead.
1. Deep-Dive Assessment
In month one, I audit your current tools, workflows, and AI maturity — and identify the 3 highest-impact opportunities where AI can save you time or money.
2. Monthly Recommendations
As new tools and capabilities emerge, I evaluate them against your specific operations and send tailored, written recommendations you can act on immediately.
3. Ongoing Advisory & Implementation
Strategy calls, async access for questions, and hands-on implementation of quick wins. Things actually get built — not just discussed.
What you get every month
Not a generic newsletter. Not a one-off project. An ongoing partnership where I become the AI expert on your team.
Business & AI Audit
A thorough review of your operations, workflows, tools, and AI readiness. You'll know exactly where you stand and where the biggest opportunities are.
Strategy Calls
Regular video calls to review what's changed in AI, what applies to your business, and what we're building or improving next.
Hands-On Implementation
Real implementation work — automations, AI agent setup, tool configuration, proof of concepts. Things actually get built.
Async Access
Have a question mid-week? Need a second opinion before signing up for a new tool? Message me. I respond within 24 hours on business days.
Monthly AI Briefing
A curated summary of what actually matters in AI that month — filtered specifically for your industry and use cases. No noise.
Cost & Tool Optimization
I'll identify SaaS tools you're overpaying for, manual processes that should be automated, and ways to do more with less.
An investment that keeps compounding.
In the first month alone, the AI audit typically uncovers enough savings — redundant tools, manual processes, inefficient workflows — to cover the cost of the retainer. From there, every month brings new optimizations, automations, and revenue opportunities that compound over time. The longer we work together, the more value you get.
Is this the right fit?
This is for you if…
- You run a small or mid-size business, agency, or consultancy
- You're curious about AI but don't have time to figure it out yourself
- You have manual, repetitive tasks that feel like they should already be automated
- You've tried AI tools but didn't know how to apply them deeply
- You want one trusted advisor — not a rotating cast of freelancers
- You want outcomes, not slide decks and frameworks
This is not for you if…
- You're looking for a full-time hire (this is a fractional role)
- You want a one-time workshop (I have another offering for that)
- You have an internal AI team that just needs extra hands
- You're not willing to commit to monthly calls and feedback
- You need large-scale enterprise integrations (I have other offerings for that)

What clients say
"Raphael takes the time to truly understand what you need, then presents the best solution in a way that makes sense for you. Patient, clear, and genuinely invested in your success."
"We were wasting hours every week on tasks I didn't even realize could be automated. Raphael mapped out our entire workflow in one session and we had a working solution within two weeks."
"As a founder wearing ten hats, I needed AI to buy me time back. Raphael understood that immediately. He didn't oversell — he just built exactly what I needed."
"Raphael audited how we were using AI across the business and identified gaps we didn't know we had. The roadmap he delivered saved us from expensive mistakes."
Common questions
Still wondering if this is right for you? Here are the questions I hear most.
Do I need to be technical to work with you?
Not at all. Most of my clients are non-technical founders and operators. My job is to translate the complexity into plain-language decisions and then handle the implementation myself.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Agencies, consultancies, e-commerce brands, solo founders, professional services. Basically any business where a large portion of the work is knowledge work or communication — that's where AI has the biggest ROI.
What if I need more implementation work?
The retainer includes a meaningful block of hands-on implementation each month — typically enough for 1–2 solid automations or a proof of concept. Need more? We add hours at a project rate. Just let me know in advance.
How is this different from hiring a full-time AI person?
A full-time AI hire costs $80,000–$150,000+ per year, requires onboarding, and may not keep up with the pace of change. As a fractional advisor, I'm already up-to-date, I work across multiple industries so I bring broader perspective, and you can scale the engagement up or down — at a fraction of the cost.
How many retainer clients do you take on?
I cap at 5 retainer clients to maintain quality and responsiveness. The discovery call is the best way to check current availability.
How long does the retainer last?
Month-to-month, no lock-in. You can cancel at any time with 30 days notice. That said, most clients see the biggest results after month 2–3 once we've completed the initial audit and have a rhythm going.
