AI that actually works for your business
I help companies use AI to save time, cut costs, and grow faster. Not with a slide deck. I build the tools, train your team, and make it work.

Four ways to work together. Pick the one that fits, or take the free assessment to find out where to start.

Typical engagement: 6–12 months

“Most businesses don’t need another AI tool. They need someone who gets it — someone in the room who can see what AI can do, build the systems , and make it happen . That’s what I do.”
Mike HodgenHow I Built an AI System for My Own Brand
I run an 8-figure online brand. I built 29 AI tools that handle product creation, SEO, pricing, customer support, and email. Not as a side project. As the CEO running the company every day. The same tools I use are the ones I build for clients.
Real Results
Numbers from real businesses. Not theories. Not projections.
“Mike built AI systems that cut our product content time from 30 minutes to 2 minutes per product. Across 564+ products. That changed everything for us.”
“83% lower ad costs and 33% more sales from the growth program Mike set up. We saw results right away.”
“108% revenue growth year over year after Mike set up AI for our inventory and demand planning. It paid for itself in the first month.”

How I Centralized 7 Data Sources Into One AI Dashboard
GA4, search rankings, product feeds, email stats, and ads in one view. I was spending 45-60 minutes a day bouncing between tabs. Now it's zero.
How I Centralized 7 Data Sources Into One AI Dashboard
I built an AI analytics dashboard that pulls GA4, GSC, ads, email, and more into one view. Here's the architecture, the crons, and what it replaced.
I Built an AI Backlink Machine That Actually Works
Manual outreach got me a 1.4% response rate. This AI pipeline scouts, scores, and writes personalized pitches that tripled my link acquisition.
Common Questions
Most consultants give you a report and leave. I actually build the AI systems, train your team, and stick around to make sure everything works. I work inside your business, not from the outside.
Just a few. I go deep with every company I work with. That means each client gets my full attention. It's why I'm selective about who I take on.
Yes. I write the code, design the systems, and get them running. I'm not a manager who hands work off. When a project needs more hands, I bring in people I trust, but I'm always the one leading.
I've worked with online stores, manufacturers, professional services, and startups. The sweet spot is companies doing $1M to $50M in revenue that want to use AI but don't have a full tech team.
Take the free AI assessment. It takes 2 minutes and shows you where your business stands. If it looks like a good fit, we'll hop on a call to talk about next steps. No pressure.
