AI with Megan

Finally understand AI, and put it to work in your business.

We build it together, step by step, until you feel confident running it yourself.

I help business owners build their own AI, customized to their business, in plain English, so you own it instead of handing it off.

Three ways to get help with AI

Own it. Don't hand it off.

There are really only three ways to bring AI into your business. Only one of them leaves you owning what you built.

Online courses

Cheap, generic, easy to quit.

You finish (if you finish) knowing things, with nothing built.

Done-for-you agencies

$10,000 and up to install off-the-shelf tools, then they leave.

It breaks when the tech changes and you can't fix it.

Your AI Partner

Built with you, customized to your business, and you own it.

You leave able to understand, run, and grow it.

The 30-day program

When you're ready to actually build it.

Your AI Partner is my 30-day, build-it-together program. Weekly lessons on your schedule, live hot-seat office hours every week, two private 1:1 sessions, and a custom plan, so you leave with a working AI partner you own. The founding group starts September 1.

30 days · 6 founding seats · built with Megan

Your AI Partner

Each week you watch a short lesson on your schedule, then bring your build to live hot-seat office hours and we work on it together. Two private 1:1 sessions with me keep it on track. You leave with it working, a plan for what to do next, and the skills to keep going.

  • A working AI partner, built and running in your business
  • A custom plan for where AI will help you most
  • The confidence and skills to keep building on your own
  • A small group who get it, and a guide you can keep on call

What owners say

Don't take my word for it.

"She doesn't just talk about AI. She helps you understand it, create a strategy, and implement tools that improve efficiency and productivity. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and practical."Brandy Unruh · Google review
"We knew AI was powerful, but we had no idea just how much it could do, or how much you know! You opened our eyes to tools and possibilities that will help us in our businesses and our personal lives for years to come."Shannon Dodge, SCD Architecture

And proof I practice what I teach: I built a whole app with AI, and my family uses it every week.

Proof, not promises

Most people have no idea what AI can actually do.

So instead of telling you, let me show you.

What my students have made

Real women, real businesses, no tech backgrounds. This is what happened when they stopped waiting to feel ready.

Four weeks in class

Shannon went from curious to building her own apps.

Shannon runs an architecture practice. She now turns screenshots of her 3D models into photorealistic images to share with clients, and when a technical snag came up, she solved it herself by asking the AI. Exactly what she was taught.

"In just four weeks, I've gone from casually using AI to building custom apps for my phone, creating dashboards, and even writing my own code. Things that used to take hours now take minutes."
Shannon Dodge, SCD Architecture · Google review

One week after class

Andrea didn't wait for the class to end.

She built a working dashboard for her business while the class was still running. What she made the week after speaks for itself.

"I learned so much and left confident that I had the tools to use AI in my business. Within a week, I have built a system that will save me hours every week."
Andrea · Google review

Things that have made my life and business easier

None of this existed two years ago. All of it was made in plain-English conversation with AI. No code written by hand, no design team, no agency.

A real app

Our family's recipe app

Our recipes lived on cards, in screenshots, and in my head. Now they live in "Our Kitchen," a meal-planning app my family uses every week, with 282 recipes and counting. I described what I wanted, and AI did the building. It's free, it works on any phone, and you're welcome to use it.

Design & publishing

Eight guides, zero designers

Every free guide on this page (the writing, the layout, the cover art) was produced with AI. What used to need a designer, an editor, and weeks of back-and-forth now happens at my kitchen table.

This entire website

The site you're reading right now was built in conversation with AI. The design, the words, the code underneath. If a photographer can ship a website like this, imagine what you could ship.

In the background

The quiet stuff

The unglamorous wins add up fastest: the signup system that sends these guides, the companion app for my class, the market research that shaped my programs, the bookkeeping tidy-ups. Ten-minute wins, every week.

Begin with a free guide. Pick whichever one sounds like the version of you you're trying to help today. They're short, kind, and written so a real human can use them by Saturday.

AI in Plain English

Five words decoded. No engineering degree required.

You don't need 100 prompts. You need to understand five words. Once Skill, Agent, Connector, Artifact, and Chatbot click, the whole conversation stops sounding like a foreign language.

AI for the ADHD Brain

A calmer way through the overwhelm.

You're not disorganized. You're carrying too much with nowhere to set it down. Five tools for the five places ADHD overwhelm hits hardest, plus a 5-minute starter so you actually use one today.

The First Thing to Hand to AI

Find the one task worth handing off this week.

You don't have to automate your whole business to feel relief. Hand off one task (the right one) this week. The Move-the-Needle Filter, the three tiers, and three copy-paste starter prompts to win today.

Your AI, On Your Terms

The 10-minute lockdown that keeps your business yours.

Most AI tools default to using your conversations as training data. This is the calm, no-panic walkthrough of locking down ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot so your client work stays your client work, plus the "never paste" list, the three tiers, and open source AI in plain English.

AI and the Kids

Raising kids in a world where the answer is always one tap away.

What kids learn about AI isn't what we tell them. It's what they see us do. An honest letter for mothers on modeling, what shifts at each age, the four conversations worth having out loud, and the settings every parent should know about.

One Thing Off the List

Five everyday ways to hand the mental load to AI.

There's a list that lives in your head and never stops long enough to get written down. Five small loops you can hand to AI this week (the 5pm dinner question, the paper avalanche, the grocery run), each with the exact words to type.

The Permission Slip

Your first week with AI, in five small steps.

For the woman using AI with a guilty little smile, or avoiding it because it feels like cheating. One real conversation, the family safety talk, one headache handed off, and the exact words to type for each. No tech background needed.

About Megan

A photographer who got curious about AI, and couldn't stop.

I'm Megan. I spent years as a photographer before AI changed how I work, and now I help other business owners make that same leap without the overwhelm. I teach in plain English, I am patient with every question, and I care more about you understanding your AI than being impressed by it.

No jargon, no judgment, no tech-bro energy.

FAQ

A few things you might be wondering.

These are the questions I hear most. If yours isn't here, just send me a note. I read every one.

Who is AI with Megan for?

Women who own small or local businesses and want a calm, plain-English way to use AI to save time and grow, without the tech-bro nonsense, the hype, or the feeling that everyone else already figured it out.

Are the AI guides really free?

Yes. Every guide on this page is a free PDF. No credit card, no trial, no upsell traps. Drop your email and it lands in your inbox in about a minute. (A few of the newer ones are delivered through my Stan Store page. Same deal, same inbox.)

Do I need to be technical to use these guides?

Not at all. These guides are written for the woman who runs a salon, a studio, a service business, or a one-person shop, not for engineers. If you can text a friend, you can do this.

What does Megan offer beyond the free guides?

1:1 AI consulting for owners who want a guide in the room with them, and Your AI Partner, a 30-day build-it-together program where you build your own AI and own it. Details on both are above.

What kinds of things can I actually use AI for in my small business?

Common starting wins: writing follow-up emails, drafting social captions, cleaning up your inbox, summarizing notes, sketching proposals, and answering repeat client questions. The Foundation Guide walks you through the first few.
