Helping Cleveland Companies Put AI to Work, One Smart Step at a Time
Running a small business in Cleveland today means juggling tight budgets, lean teams, and growing pressure to stay competitive. AI can help—but knowing where to start is often the hardest part. That’s where we come in.
At Sixth City AI, we offer AI consulting for small businesses in Cleveland that’s grounded in local understanding and real-world results. Whether you’re a shop floor manager in Slavic Village or a marketing lead in Ohio City, we help you bring AI into your workflow in ways that save time, reduce errors, and boost performance—without turning your budget upside down.
AI assessment looks at the systems you already use—from spreadsheets and CRMs to customer service tools—and maps out where AI can make the biggest impact. You'll get a simple, executive-friendly report with pilot ideas tailored to your operations, all backed by your current data, staffing, and goals.
If you’re planning to handle the rollout in-house but need expert input, we combine the assessment with hands-on strategy sprints. From cleaning up data flows to fixing reporting gaps, we help your team plug the holes—then step back, leaving you with a self-guided plan built for Cleveland’s small-business pace.
Ready for a broader change? We’ll manage the full transformation. That includes preparing your data, training staff, integrating safe AI tools, and building simple dashboards to track results. You get the benefits of an enterprise-style AI rollout—but with a fraction of the cost and zero jargon.
You don’t need to hire a full-time executive to lead your AI strategy. We offer part-time program managers who work alongside your Cleveland team to monitor tools, track performance, tune models, and coordinate vendors.
Choosing the right AI partner can be tricky. We evaluate your options—Copilot, Claude, open-source, and more—looking at security, ease of use, and long-term fit. We’ll help you avoid expensive contracts that don’t suit your business.
Sometimes the tech is the easy part. Getting buy-in from staff can take more work. Our adoption workshops are built for real teams, helping employees understand what’s coming, what’s changing, and how to feel confident about it.
From warehouse operations to accounting roles, or just an individual freelancer, we train your team on using AI responsibly. That includes how to write clear prompts, design helpful workflows, and keep data private.
We coach your management team on how to lead AI adoption—explaining what the tools do, what to watch out for, and how to guide teams through changes in process and performance expectations.
