Anything your business runs on that lives online: setup, automations, AI, team tools and upkeep. Not devices, office networks or WordPress upkeep. ### How can AI help a small business? By taking over work that repeats and follows rules: the reply every new client gets, the follow-up after an inquiry. You approve what goes out. ### Can I use ChatGPT for my business? Yes, for drafting and thinking. A prompt you run every week belongs inside your tools, not in copy-paste. ### What does AI automation cost? $997 for a one-week job, one payment: an automation, an AI experiment or a fix alike. AI models bill per use on your own accounts: a run in my free [Discovery tools](/discovery) costs about 4 cents. ### Why not hire in-house? Hire when the tech work fills a full week, every week. Until then it comes in bursts, and here you pay only for the weeks with work. ### What is my part? Access to your accounts, tasks in your own words and a review of each result. No standups. ### What if it doesn't work out? I revise until you're satisfied. Nothing renews: you book the next week only if this one paid off, and the accounts and code are already yours. ### How do I get started? Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=solopreneurs-faq), about a minute: name the job that eats your week. I reply the next working day. ## Testimonials > "Jurij understand the core problem, insists on building the right experiences for the customers." > — [Kunal Modi, Founder @ SOAPNoteAI](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "Working with Jurij is an absolute joy, consistently exceeds expectations." > — [Janis Ozolins, Content Creator](https://x.com/OzolinsJanis/status/1875168034249146609) > "Consistently delivered quality code in great time, very hard working & precise." > — [Bartosz Poźniak, CEO @ MyCointainer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "The kind of engineer that every company on the planet would be lucky to have." > — [Hosam Mazawi, COO @ LemonUnit](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) ## About Varstatt is run by [Jurij Tokarski](https://varstatt.com/jurij), product engineer since 2011.
