Learn to use AI effectively, personally or for business

A 90-minute working session with Ryan Wold, who has spent two decades building software for Silicon Valley startups, large enterprises, and government at every level. Bring your questions and leave knowing how to put technology to work today.

Book your session

Some individual support to get started.

Every week brings a new app, a new AI product, and a new opinion about what matters. Sorting the genuinely useful from the noise is its own skill — and it is a learnable one. One focused conversation with someone who has seen what actually works is usually enough to get moving with confidence.

Plain answers, and nothing to sell

No jargon, no sales pitch, and nothing to buy at the end. I don't resell software or take commissions, so my only interest is what genuinely helps you. Just curious about AI for your own life, not a business? You're welcome too — the session works the same way.

Ryan Wold

I live in Vacaville and have built software for more than twenty years — for Silicon Valley startups, large enterprises, and city, county, state, and federal government. That work spans software products people use every day and tools that help governments use AI responsibly.

The common thread: helping people learn about technology and have a good experience with it. That is exactly what these sessions are for.

Hands-on experience, confidence, and a next step

Hands-on experience

We don't just talk about the tools — we sit down and use them together, on your real work, during the session.

Confidence

By the end, you'll have done it yourself — not just heard about it. And once you've done something yourself, it's much easier to do again on your own.

Where to go next

Two or three specific actions in priority order, a drawing of the workflow we examined, and a written summary of everything we covered — sent within a day.

What people bring to a session

For your business

"I spend hours on quotes, invoices, and follow-up emails. What could AI take off my plate?"
"My website, scheduling, and payments don't talk to each other. What should this look like?"
"Is my customer list safe to use with these AI tools?"
"A vendor quoted me $15,000 for this. Is that reasonable?"

For yourself

"Everyone at work is using AI. Show me how to actually use it well."
"Which of these AI tools is worth paying for?"
"How do I use this without handing over my personal information?"
"Help me get my accounts, passwords, and backups set up properly."

We pick a time

I'll reach out — usually the same day — to schedule and ask a few short questions so I can prepare. The more real your questions, the more useful the session.

We work together for 90 minutes

Video call, or in person around Vacaville. We'll work through your actual situation — your tools, your questions. Usually we'll draw one of your workflows on a page and look at it together, which is where the useful answers tend to come from. I'll send a written summary after our session.
