Houston AI training for teams
A half-day or full-day session, on site at your office. Plain language, your own tools, your own work — not a demo of somebody else's business. Half-day is $1,200 and full-day is $2,000, published here the same way everything else we sell is.
Based in North Houston — On Site Across the Houston Metro
What your team walks away with
Not a survey of the field. The session is built backward from what a front desk, a billing clerk, and an owner each have to do the next working day.
Most staff picked their AI tool the way they picked a browser extension: somebody mentioned it. We sort which accounts are yours and admin-controlled from the personal logins holding your client data — and if you already have an approved-tool list, we teach to that one.
Everyone can make a chatbot write a poem; the gap is a usable draft of the letter, the summary, or the spreadsheet formula. We work the tasks your team brings — recall letters, intake summaries, reconciliations out of your own files — and rewrite the prompts together until the output stops needing a rewrite.
Patient records, client financials, card numbers, credentials, anything under a signed confidentiality obligation. We give the rule in words a new hire can repeat, cover what a consumer chatbot does and doesn't protect, and explain why "I deleted the chat" isn't the same as never having typed it.
These tools produce confident, well-formatted, incorrect answers on a regular basis. We show your team what that looks like in their own domain, where to check, and which tasks need a person reading every line before it leaves the building.
Training that stays theoretical evaporates by Friday. Everyone finishes with one repeated task set up on their own machine and tested once in front of us — one on purpose, because the second and third come after the first sticks.
The session
This is the half-day agenda. The full day runs the same spine, then splits into hands-on time by department. No slides for the sake of slides — most of the session is people working on their own screens.
Plain language on what a language model does — no science-fair version, no marketing version. Mostly failure modes, because that's the part that costs you money.
Context, examples, constraints, and iteration, taught on the tasks your team brought. The longest block of the day, all hands on keyboards.
The data rule, the account rule, and the retention question. If you have an AI use policy we teach it here; if you don't, this is the block where that becomes obvious.
Gemini is included in Google Workspace Business Standard and Plus: drafting and summarizing in Gmail and Docs, natural-language analysis in Sheets, action items in Meet. We teach whatever you run, but we lean here first, because you're already paying for it.
Each person picks one repeated task, builds the prompt or setup, and runs it once while we watch. We fix what breaks in the room, not in an email two weeks later.
The afternoon splits by function — front desk, billing and insurance, ops, ownership — each group working a repeatable workflow of its own. It closes on the boundary: which tasks are worth prompting by hand, and which are where you stop training people and build the automation instead.
Who this is for
The people who get the most out of this are usually the least technical people in the building. Everything is taught in plain language on the tools they already have open.
Intake, scheduling, recall, and insurance verification — the same email and the same lookup all day. This is where training shows up fastest.
Summarizing, reconciling, drafting, and chasing documents — with a firm line around client financial data and where it never goes.
Enough of a handle to tell a good use from a reckless one, decide what the practice is allowed to do, and stop paying for tools nobody uses. That's why full-day exists.
Same training, tighter guardrails: staff here paste protected information into consumer chatbots without knowing it's a problem, and the session covers that before anything clever. If nothing is written down yet, the AI Use Policy Pack is the more urgent purchase, and we'll say so rather than sell you a training day.
Who this isn't for: developers who want to build with AI, and anyone chasing a certification. If you want something built, that's a project, not a session.
Formats and pricing
Same as the automation menu and the managed IT rate — you can read the number before you talk to anyone. Both formats are flat fees, quoted in writing before anything is booked.
Kareem runs Other Guys IT, a Houston-metro managed IT company supporting dental, medical, accounting, equipment rental, and logistics clients. The same person who designs the network writes the automation — client onboarding, monthly billing, review requests, and website monitoring all run on software he built, documented piece by piece on Built By Us. He teaches the sessions himself — no bench of contractors.
Straight answers
A half-day session on site is $1,200 flat. A full day is $2,000 flat. Both are priced per session rather than per seat, both are quoted in writing before anything is booked, and both include a written follow-up plus questions answered for 30 days afterward. Sessions run on site in the Houston metro; further out, we quote travel in writing first. There is no per-head charge, no minimum group size, and no certification fee, because there is no certification.
It's priced per session, so bring the team that does the work. The limit isn't a headcount, it's whether the hands-on parts still work — if a group is big enough that people stop getting individual attention on their own tasks, we'll say so before you book and recommend either the full day, which splits into department groups, or two sessions. We'd rather tell you that up front than take the money and run a lecture.
Whichever ones you use. The habits that matter transfer across all of them, so we teach the skill and apply it to your stack. If you're on Google Workspace Business Standard or Plus, we lean on Gemini, because it's already included in the subscription you pay for and most teams have never switched it on properly. If your business lives in Microsoft 365, Copilot is an added per-seat license and we'll tell you plainly whether your stack justifies it — sometimes the answer is neither yet.
No, and the prices are close enough that it's worth being blunt. The Policy Pack is $1,200 one-time plus $150 a month, and the 45-minute session it includes is a policy rollout: here are the approved tools, here is the data that never goes in, here's who to ask. It teaches the rules. The training on this page is a separate engagement at $1,200 for a half day or $2,000 for a full day, and it teaches skill — how to get useful work out of the tools on your own tasks. Most dental, medical, and tax offices should buy the Policy Pack first and the training second.
It isn't required, but for a regulated office it's the better first purchase. Training a team to be effective with tools nobody has set rules for means they get faster at something you haven't governed yet. If your staff are already pasting client or patient details into personal chatbot accounts — and in most offices we walk into, somebody is — the written policy, the approved-tool list, and the shadow-AI audit in the Policy Pack come first. We'll say so on the call rather than book the day you asked for.
No. Training is a standalone engagement, quoted and delivered on its own. Plenty of what we do is one-time project work — a cabling run, a camera system, a training day — and none of it requires a managed plan. If you do have one, it doesn't change the price of the session, and the session doesn't change the $125/workstation/mo rate.
You get a written follow-up: what we covered, which tools we approved for which job, the prompts and setups we built with your team, and anything we flagged as a risk while we were in the room. Then we answer questions for 30 days after the session, because that's the window where people hit the thing they got stuck on. It's included in both formats and it isn't an upsell into a retainer.
No, and the difference matters. Training makes your people better at using AI tools by hand on their own work. An automation is software that runs the task without a person in the loop, and building one is a project with a written scope and a fixed fee, not a session. If what you want is the manual step gone rather than faster, start with the automations and integrations side and skip the training day.
