Bay Area in person · Remote anywhere

AI, set up for you.

We set up AI on your phone and computer, then show you how to use it. At your place, or over video.

Who it’s for

Less time on screens. More time for your life.

YouTube can’t sit next to you. We can.

What we set up

Useful AI, set up around your week.

Six ways we help.

  1. 01

    An AI assistant you'll actually use

    ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini on your phone and computer, set up so you use it every day.

  2. 02

    Everyday tasks, done faster

    Emails, letters, trip plans, recipes and long documents, done in minutes.

  3. 03

    Private AI for sensitive stuff

    Medical, money and legal papers stay on your own computer. Nothing goes online. Best on a Mac mini.

  4. 04

    A Mac mini, ready for AI

    Bought, set up and tested for you. Delivered around the Bay, or shipped anywhere in the US.

  5. 05

    AI for small businesses

    Replies, documents and meeting notes, with clear rules on what data goes where.

  6. 06

    Online AI, no surprise bills

    Prepaid $20 top-ups that pause at $0. Or keep your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

Your data, your choice

Two ways to use AI. You choose what goes online.

Online AI (BaySpark AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) is the most capable. What you type goes to the company that runs it.

Private AI runs on your own computer. Nothing leaves it, and it’s free to use. Most people use both.

BaySpark AI messages go straight to the AI service, not through us. We see your credit balance, never your messages.

We don't need your passwords. You type them in yourself.

Online AI: what you type goes to the AI company that runs it.
