Work starts the next working day. 2. **Setup** — You invite me to your tools and show where the hours go. 3. **Plan & Develop** — You set the priorities. I build the smallest version and run it on your real work. 4. **Review & Refine** — You review each task update. I revise until you're satisfied. 5. **Progress** — You approve what stays. Book another week for the next experiment. 6. **Maintain** — Steady AI work can run by the week, and issues go first. ## Pricing — One-Time One experiment, built and measured on your real work. - **Price:** $997 - **Note:** 1-week delivery - **Plan:** An AI consultant who builds and measures, in one person. - **Includes:** - 🧑‍💻 10+ years shipping software - 🗣️ Direct access to developer - 🪪 Full code & assets ownership - **CTA:** [Get Started](https://varstatt.com/start?cta=agent) - **Questions:** jurij@varstatt.com ## FAQ ### How much do AI consultants charge? AI consulting or AI implementation, one price: $997 for a one-week experiment, one payment, with [no hourly rate](/principles/philosophy/hours-wrong). Model APIs bill per use, to your card. ### What does an AI consultant do here? The usual version advises and you implement. Here I suggest the job, build it in your tools, test it on real work and fix what breaks. ### Can I use ChatGPT for my business? Yes, for one-off writing and thinking. Hiring me fits work that repeats: AI inside your tools on every inquiry or booking, with no pasting between tabs. ### Which AI agent is best? The one that fits one job. I build on n8n or Node.js and pick the AI model per task. ### How do I start using AI in my business? With work that repeats every week and follows rules: replies, follow-ups, summaries, data moved between tools. Some jobs shouldn't exist at all. ### Is it worth paying for an AI service? Only if it pays back, and each experiment is weighed on that: [most things aren't worth building](/principles/discovery/worth-building). ### Will AI see my clients' data? Not by default: AI drafts and you send. Everything runs in your accounts, so you can cut access any day. ### What if it doesn't work out? I revise until you're satisfied. A dropped experiment costs one week, and nothing renews. ### How do I get started? Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=ai-consulting-faq), about a minute. I reply the next working day; if it fits, with a first plan and a call invite. ## 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/) ## [Solopreneurs × Varstatt](https://varstatt.com/x/solopreneurs) AI Consulting fits small businesses best: owners and small teams buying one tech job at a time. - **[Tool Integrations](https://varstatt.com/x/solopreneurs/tool-integrations)** "Each order typed by hand into three tools."
