AI Coaching for Business Owners
A fractional AI advisor without the full-time hire.
AI Coaching from PerezCarreno & Coindreau is a monthly retainer for business owners and executives who need a trusted AI advisor on call, not a full-time chief AI officer. You get two 60-minute 1:1 calls a month plus async Slack access to Armando for vendor reviews, prompt help, tool selection, and strategic decisions. The fractional advisory model sits alongside the four core engagement types: it works well as a steady-state relationship after an implementation project, or on its own for founders learning to use AI in daily operations. Senior expertise, predictable monthly cost, no long-term contract.

FAQ
AI Coaching for Business Owners: Questions we hear
- Who is AI Coaching for?
-
Non-technical founders, solopreneurs, and operators who want to get personally fluent in AI without hiring a full consulting engagement. Ideal if you feel you are missing something by not using AI daily, are tired of generic AI courses that do not match how you actually work, or want a sounding board as you rebuild workflows around AI tools.
- What does a typical month look like?
-
Two 45-minute one-on-one video sessions (live or recorded), a shared working doc with prompts and workflows tailored to your role, async Slack or email channel for questions between sessions, and one "homework" workflow we pick together and iterate on through the month. Minimum commitment: one month. Pause anytime.
- Will I learn to code or build automations?
-
Only if you want to. Most coaching clients do not write code. We focus on prompt craft, AI-assisted work in tools you already use (Docs, Sheets, email, your CRM), and knowing when to escalate to a built automation. If you want to go deeper technically, we can, but it is not required.
