AI Consulting for Small Business
We empower your small business with accessible, real-world Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that drive growth, boost efficiency, and keep you competitive in today's market.
AI Shouldn't Feel This Overwhelming
You know AI matters — but where do you even start?
Thousands of tools, endless hype, and no clear answer for a business like yours. So it stays on the to-do list and nothing changes.
You don't need 50 tools. You need the right one.
The businesses that win with AI don't overhaul everything at once. They fix one bottleneck with one well-chosen tool, see the results, then build from there.
Generic advice doesn't fit how your business runs.
Your bottlenecks aren't the same as everyone else's. The right starting point comes from asking the right questions about how your business really works — not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
We Find Where AI Pays Off
We Listen
Good AI starts with good questions.
We dig into how your business runs — where your time leaks, what's repetitive, what frustrates you and your team. No tech talk required. You just describe your day.
We Diagnose
We find your biggest bottleneck.
Every business has one thing slowing it down more than the rest. We pinpoint it, then match it to a tool that fits your budget, your team, and the way you already work.
We Prescribe
One bottleneck. One tool. One clear step.
No jargon, no 50-tool overwhelm. You walk away knowing exactly what to do first and why — and what it will save you in time and money.
We don't sell software. We figure out where AI fits your business — and where it doesn't.
Three Simple Steps
Free 15-Minute Mini Audit
We hop on a quick call and ask about your biggest time-drains. By the end, you'll have one AI tool prescribed for one bottleneck — something you can put to use right away. No cost, no pitch.
Full Assessment — $999
We audit your whole business and deliver a prioritized AI roadmap: what to fix first, which tools to use, and what each one saves you. Written in plain English. The $999 is credited toward implementation if you decide to move forward.
We Help You Put It to Work
Want it done for you? We set up the tools and get them running in your business. Prefer to run with the roadmap yourself? It's yours to keep. Either way, you're never locked in.

Why Work With Us
No Jargon, Ever
We explain everything in plain English. You don't need to know what a model or an agent is — you just need to know what it does for your business.
Free to Start, Low Risk
Begin with a free 15-minute mini audit. You'll get real value before you ever pay us a dollar, and a clear sense of whether we're the right fit.
The Right Tool, Not Our Tool
We don't sell software, so we have no reason to push one product. We recommend whatever fits your business best, even if it's free or something you already own.
We Focus on One Thing First
Instead of a giant overhaul, we find the single bottleneck costing you the most and fix that. Small wins first, momentum from there.
You Keep Everything
The roadmap, the recommendations, the setup — it's all yours. No lock-in, no ongoing fees required, no dependence on us to keep things running.
Built for Real Businesses
We work with owners and teams who are busy running their business, not studying AI. Remote, on-site, or hybrid — we meet you where you are.
Want to train your whole team?
I run hands-on AI workshops, seminars, and team training — in plain English, in person or virtual. Great for teams, associations, and local business groups.
Built by a Small Business Owner

I'm Russell Powers. I spent more than 20 years in retail, including 10 years owning a UPS Store franchise, and I've started and sold two businesses of my own — so I know what it's like to run a company with no time to spare.
When AI arrived in 2024, I was a skeptic. Then I started building with it and saw how much it could do for businesses like mine. I started Elite Automation to bring that to other owners — without the overwhelm, in plain English, from someone who's sat in your seat.
