“I know I should be doing something about AI. I don’t know what.”
The honest answer is that some of it would genuinely help your business and most of it wouldn’t. So Mark built a two-minute check that asks how your week works, then gives you a straight answer.
It is willing to tell you to do nothing.Take the two-minute AI checkThe person you meet is the person doing the work.
Mark Steven has spent 25+ years helping New Zealand businesses turn unclear digital problems into useful, dependable systems. No account managers. No juniors learning on your job. No hourly meter running in the background.
The same curiosity that led him into websites before WordPress existed now drives the custom apps and AI tools he builds today.
