AI consulting and training · Adelaide and Australia-wide
I help small businesses hand their busywork to AI: the emails, quotes, reports and follow-ups that eat the week. I build it in the tools you already pay for, teach your team to use it, and document it so it keeps running without me.
Fixed prices · Plain English · You own everything I build
Emails, quotes and paperwork that should take minutes keep spilling into your evenings.
Client details go into free tools, and nobody is quite sure what's safe.
A few good answers, then everyone drifted back to the old way of doing things.
None of that is a technology problem. It's a set-up and training problem, and that's what I fix.
Four steps. The same ones EmberSeed has used since 2019, with AI now doing the heavy lifting.
01
We talk through your week and pick the one job that costs you the most time. You get a short written plan before anything is built.
02
I build it inside your own accounts, with the AI you already pay for: Copilot in Microsoft 365, Gemini in Google Workspace, ChatGPT or Claude. It works with Xero and MYOB too, and you own it from day one.
03
Hands-on AI training for your team, on their real work. It's recorded, with a one-page guide and simple rules about what's safe to share.
04
I check in after a week to fine-tune it. When you're ready for the next job, we do it again.

From my last role
With the team 40% under headcount, I built a knowledge base and overnight agents that wrote our daily briefings and weekly reports. Pulling together a full 18-account handover pack went from weeks to a single day.
Case study
How a small volunteer team now runs donor research, campaign emails and its documents with AI, without adding staff.
“His strong understanding of AI, and his ability to use it to generate meaningful insights, has added real value to his area of expertise and helped lift the quality of outcomes for the business.”
“He leaves teams stronger than he found them, and the culture he's built is a reflection of the type of leader he is.”
“From my experience working with Andrew, he has consistently approached his responsibilities with professionalism, energy, and a genuine focus on supporting both customers and colleagues.”
For more than twenty years I've led customer-facing teams at IAG, Origin Energy, Optus and, most recently, Powerfleet. Big teams, tight budgets, and customers who notice when things go wrong.
In my last role, short on people and long on work, I built an AI system that gave my team the output of a much bigger one. The technology was the easy part. Getting people to trust it and use it every day was the real work, and it's the part I enjoy most.
I started EmberSeed in 2019 to take the heavy lifting off small business owners. AI now does most of that lifting. As an AI consultant and trainer, my job is to fit it to your business and make sure your team actually uses it. I work with businesses across Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and the rest of South Australia, and Australia-wide by video.
I'm an operator who builds, not a technologist who lectures.
Usually not. Most businesses already pay for AI inside Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace without using it. We start with what you have.
Everything is built in your own accounts, and you get clear rules about what can and can't go into AI tools. I don't keep copies of your data.
That's the part I'm best at. Training is part of every offer, built around your team's real work, and I check in after a week.
Before I start, we write down in a paragraph exactly what your Quick Win will do. If it isn't doing that within 7 days, you don't pay.
I do. No account managers and no hand-offs: you deal with the person building it.
Yes. Everything works by video call, anywhere in Australia. If you're in the Hills or Adelaide, we can also meet in person.
Book a free 20-minute chat. If AI isn't the answer, I'll tell you.
A couple of lines is plenty. I'll reply to find a time for your chat.
