Twin Cities · In-Person · Contractor-Specific
You didn't get into this business to write emails at 9pm.
AI @ WORK helps contractors remove office drag from bids, RFIs, follow-ups, field notes, change orders, invoices, and SOPs — without letting AI make the calls that owners, estimators, PMs, licensed tradespeople, and office leaders need to make. I teach your team how to use it right, starting the Monday after the workshop.
Built for Twin Cities contractors
You're not behind. Your system is.
Every contractor I talk to says the same things. The pain isn't a you problem — it's a process problem. And the process can be fixed.
The bid takes 6 hours. You won't know if you got it for two weeks.
You're pulling scope from last year's job, chasing sub numbers that haven't come in, and rewriting the same cover letter you've written forty times. There's no reason it should take this long. There's just no system that makes it faster.
The customer emailed again. Nobody answered.
Status updates, RFI replies, change-order explanations — they all land on the same two people. By Thursday those two people are buried. The customer calls. That's a relationship problem now, not a workload problem.
Your best employee just quit. Half the process left with them.
Nobody wrote it down. Every new hire learns from whoever has time to show them — which means they learn a different version of the job. Safety talks are last year's. SOPs are a Word doc nobody updates. The whole thing runs on institutional memory that walks out the door.
No new software. No six-month rollout. Just faster.
AI @ WORK removes office drag from the tasks that eat your week — bids, RFIs, customer follow-ups, field notes, change orders, invoices, SOPs — without letting AI touch the calls only owners, estimators, PMs, and office leaders can make. Here is what changes fast.
A bid draft in under 15 minutes
Paste your scope notes. Tell AI what format you need. Get a first draft. Fix the one thing it got wrong. That's the whole process. Your estimator still reviews it — they just don't start from a blank page anymore.
- First draft in under 15 minutes
- Same structure, same voice, every time
- Works on top of how you already bid
Emails and RFIs out the same day
Your field notes go in. A professional customer update comes out. Takes four minutes. No more staring at a blank email at 7pm. No more RFIs sitting in a stack because nobody had time to write them.
- Customer updates in under 5 minutes
- RFI drafts ready to review, not to write
- Vendor follow-ups that don't fall through
Clear rules your whole team can follow
Green means go. Yellow means check first. Red means don't touch it. One page. No debate. Your staff knows what AI can draft, what needs your review, and what should never go near a chatbot.
- Protects your confidential bid data
- Onboards new staff in one conversation
- Built around your actual workflows
Three hours. Eight tools. Use them Monday.
This isn't a slide deck about AI. You'll write your first prompt in the room, pick one workflow from your own office to pilot, and leave with everything you need to run it — starting the week after.
What you take home:
- AI Use-Case Map — where AI fits in your specific trade (and where it doesn't)
- Estimator Prompt Pack — copy-paste prompts for bids and scope writing
- RFI & Vendor Email Prompts — ready to use the next morning
- Green / Yellow / Red Staff Usage Guide — one page, no debate
- Your own 30-Day AI Pilot Plan — one workflow, your office, no risk
- Draft Contractor AI Usage Policy — adapt it for your team
Every attendee gets a free copy of Future of Artificial Intelligence for Small Business by Daniel Stouffer — the same book the framework is built on.
The AI-Enabled Consultant Behind AI @ WORK
Daniel Stouffer is an AI expert, author, trainer, and product developer. He solves big, seemingly impossible problems by finding solutions, defining systems design, and building things that actually work. He has spent years working with contractors and small businesses — not as a contractor himself, but as the person who comes in when the process is broken and figures out how to fix it.
His approach is built around one clear principle: remove the office drag from bids, RFIs, follow-ups, field notes, change orders, invoices, and SOPs — without letting AI make the calls that owners, estimators, PMs, licensed tradespeople, and office leaders need to make. AI drafts. Humans decide. He builds practical, workflow-first implementations that contractors can use the day after the workshop — not six months later.
He is the author of three books on AI in business, including Future of Artificial Intelligence for Small Business, Artificial Intelligence for Leaders, and Found Money — all available on Amazon.
