Why most businesses struggle with AI adoption
Monday
Your competitor posts on LinkedIn about their "AI-powered" workflow. Your team Slacks you: "Should we be doing something with AI?" You say you'll look into it this week.
Tuesday
You open ChatGPT. You ask it to summarize a report. It's fine. You try asking it to draft a client proposal. It's... not great. You close the tab and go back to doing it yourself.
Wednesday
You Google "AI tools for business." You find 40 listicles, 200 tools, and 12 people selling courses. You're more confused than when you started. You bookmark three things and forget about them.
Thursday
Someone at a networking event says they "set up Claude to run their entire sales pipeline." You nod and pretend you know what that means. You don't. You feel behind.
Friday
You're still doing the same manual work you were doing last year. Your team is too. The week is over. Nothing changed.
This isn't a knowledge problem. You know AI is important. This is a setup problem. No one's configured these tools with your business context and tools to make it easy for you to delegate to AI.
The problem isn't AI.
It's that nobody's set it up for your work.
Six months ago, these tools weren't ready. Now they are. AI can write your code, manage your inbox, run your sales pipeline, and coordinate across your team — but they have to be set up for you and your business, with the coaching to help you make the leap.
That's what I do. I'm equal parts coach and consultant — I see where you are, figure out how to upgrade your workflow, then set up or build whatever tools you need to get there, teaching and coaching you along the way. Not a strategy deck. Working AI in your business.
What I build for you
AI implementation services
Every engagement starts with a free discovery call to paint a clear picture of where you are and what's possible. Then you choose your path.
Claude Cowork and Claude Code Setup
Best for: Founders, operators, and developers who want AI that actually works alongside them
An AI agent that lives in your terminal, connects to all your tools, and does real work — drafting contracts from CRM data, generating reports from Slack and Notion, triaging support tickets, building internal tools in hours. I set up the full environment, connect your tools, and train you to use it.
What you get
- Full Claude Cowork and Claude Code environment, configured for your stack
- Connected to your tools (CRM, email, calendar, codebase, docs)
- 1 core automated workflow built and running
- 90-minute training session
- 2 weeks of async support
Free. 45 minutes.
OpenClaw Setup
Best for: Power users who want autonomous AI agents running 24/7
OpenClaw is a new open-source framework that's setting records for GitHub stars and adoption. It's insanely powerful and configurable, but with great power comes lots of complexity.
I deploy it security-first, set up a team of agents doing different streams of work, connect your channels, and document everything.
What you get
- Security-hardened installation
- Up to 3 configured agent workflows
- Channel integration (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord)
- Full documentation
- 30-day stabilization support
Free. 45 minutes.
AI Operations Build
Best for: Non-technical founders who need their business operations running on AI
You don't need to learn to code. I audit your workflows, set up your CRM, build 3-5 automations for your core processes, train your team, and stick around for 30 days to make sure everything holds.
What you get
- Business process audit
- CRM setup and configuration (Attio)
- 3-5 workflow automations (n8n/Zapier)
- 2 training sessions for your team
- Full documentation
- 30-day stabilization support
Free. 45 minutes.
AI Transformation Program
Best for: Leaders who want their entire company working with AI
The full playbook — the same approach I used to take Skinopathy AI from 5% to 60% AI-generated code. Over 12 weeks, I audit your organization, build infrastructure, run role-specific training, and create an internal AI playbook your company owns forever.
What you get
- Organization-wide AI audit
- Infrastructure and tool setup across departments
- Role-specific training for up to 10 people
- Internal AI playbook and adoption tracking
- AI champion identification and coaching
- 3-4 on-site sessions (remote or in-person in Dubai)
- 12-week program with structured milestones
Free. 45 minutes.
Already set up? I offer managed care to keep your AI systems running, improving, and adapting as new tools come out. Ask about it during your discovery call.
Don't take my word for it
AI transformation results and client proof
“This is easily the biggest change to my basic coding workflow in 2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks.”
“Reflexive AI usage is now a baseline expectation at Shopify.”
“What matters is not the power of any given model, but how people choose to apply it to achieve their goals.”
“Every single company that is going to be launched in this country going forward needs to be an AI-first company.”
What happens when AI is set up properly
Before working with AK, Skinopathy AI's engineering team wrote 5% of their code with AI. After:
AI-generated code in engineering
Contracts won with AI-built products
- Vibe-coded products won six-figure contracts with Sanofi
- Products built with AI secured a partnership with Shiseido
- CEO switched to AI-generated presentations and spreadsheets
- Marketing, design, and leadership teams onboarded to Claude Cowork and Claude Code
About
Ahmad Kadhim
I've spent 12 years building products — from a healthcare staffing platform that placed 50,000+ nurses during COVID and grew to $1M ARR, to cancer screening apps and clinic software at Skinopathy AI. Along the way I've worked with Walmart, Airbnb, Shiseido, and Sanofi, and taught product design to 300+ students at General Assembly.
A year ago I went deep on AI and couldn't come back. I transformed how an entire company works — engineering, marketing, leadership — and realized the biggest gap isn't the technology. It's that nobody's setting it up properly. Now I help businesses across the UAE and worldwide implement AI that actually works.
When you work with me, you work with me. No junior consultants, no handoffs, no 200-page reports. Just working systems and a team that knows how to use them.

Is this for you?
Who AI consulting works best for
This is for you if
- You run a business and know AI matters but haven't figured out how to use it properly
- You've tried ChatGPT or similar tools and felt like something was missing
- You want working systems, not theory or strategy decks
- You're willing to invest a few weeks to save hundreds of hours per year
- You want someone to do it with you, not just tell you what to do
- You value your time more than the cost of getting expert help
This isn't for you if
- You're looking for the cheapest option and don't value setup quality
- You're not willing to change how you work
- You want a 200-page strategy document before you get working systems
- You've already decided your team isn't ready for new tools
- You need enterprise-scale AI infrastructure for 500+ employees
- You're not ready to invest the time to upgrade your skills
Four steps. No surprises.
How AI implementation works
Get your AI Delegation Score
2 min, optionalAnswer 6 questions about how your team works. You'll see where AI delegation would have the biggest impact — and how many hours you're leaving on the table. It helps me tailor the diagnostic to you.
Book a discovery call
A 45-60 minute session where we go deeper — mapping your tools, workflows, and where you're losing time. If you took the score, I've already reviewed it. You walk away with a full AI Maturity Scorecard across six dimensions plus your top three priorities.
Choose your path
Based on your scorecard, I recommend the right engagement — Claude Cowork and Claude Code Setup, OpenClaw Setup, AI Operations Build, or the full Transformation Program. You pick what makes sense. No pressure to go bigger than you need.
Working AI in your business
I come in (remotely, or in-person if you're in Dubai), build the systems, train your team, and stick around until everything is stable. When I leave, the capability is yours — not mine.
Common questions
AI consulting FAQ
How do I get my team to actually use AI tools after setup?
That's exactly what the training and stabilization period are for. I don't just install software and leave — I make sure your team is actually using it. The 30-day stabilization support exists specifically to catch adoption issues early and fix them.
Does AI consulting work for my industry?
If your team does knowledge work — email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, client communication — AI can save you time. I work with businesses across Dubai and the UAE in real estate, healthcare, finance, professional services, hospitality, and more. The diagnostic will tell you exactly where the opportunities are in your specific business.
Can I start with a small AI project and expand later?
Yes. Most clients start with a Claude Cowork and Claude Code Setup or AI Operations Build and expand once they see results. The diagnostic helps you pick the right starting point — no pressure to go bigger than you need.
What happens after the AI implementation support period ends?
Everything I build is yours. Full documentation, trained team, working systems. If you want ongoing help, managed care is available — but you won't be dependent on it.
Do I need to be technical to work with an AI consultant?
No. The AI Operations Build is specifically designed for non-technical founders. For Claude Cowork and Claude Code and OpenClaw, I handle all the technical setup — you just need to be willing to learn how to use the tools.
How much does AI consulting cost?
Engagements are tailored to your needs — from a focused Claude Cowork and Claude Code Setup to a full 12-week AI Transformation Program. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call — no commitment required.
How long does AI implementation take?
Most projects deliver working systems in 1-4 weeks. The full AI Transformation Program runs 12 weeks. The free diagnostic will give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
What is the AI Delegation Score?
It's a free 2-minute assessment that shows you where AI could save your team the most time. You answer 6 questions about how your business works, and you get a score out of 100 plus specific opportunities ranked by impact. It's not required — you can book a diagnostic directly — but it helps me tailor the session to your situation.
Find out in 45 minutes what most businesses spend months figuring out
The discovery call is free and you walk away with a scorecard showing exactly where you're losing time and what to fix first. If there's a fit, we'll talk about next steps. If not, you still leave with actionable tips.
45-60 minutes. Remote, or in-person if you're in Dubai. No commitment.
