Accelerator Service

Silicon Valley AI capabilities, Main Street economics.

Don't wait in line for AI.

Local businesses shouldn't have to wait years for the same AI tools the big companies use to grow. The capability is here right now, and AI for Main Street is how you put it to work this month, not next quarter.

More affordable than you'd think.

Six-figure consulting budgets used to be the only way in. Now a free first call, hourly help, or a monthly training subscription gets you moving. The productivity gain agentic AI hands one AI expert is what makes the math finally work for Main Street.

Built for self-reliance.

This service exists to put you in charge of your own AI. The whole point is teaching you, your team, and your business to run the tools on your own terms. Self-reliance is the outcome; AI is the leverage that should be doing the heavy lifting for Main Street.

Things get faster and less expensive for your business when AI does the work.

Real tasks Main Street owners run every week, with and without agentic tools alongside them.

The subscription is small. When weighed against the value it unlocks.

The value of these subscriptions goes much farther than most owners guess, but only when the tools get used to their full potential. That last part is what WISLR helps you unlock.

Affordable ways to start AI for Main Street

1:1 Consultation (60 min.)
Free

A no-pressure 60-minute conversation about your business, your customers, and where AI can fit. You leave with a clear read on what's worth prioritizing, whether you work with WISLR or not. If you're local to Atlanta, we'll even bring the coffee.

AI on Call
$125/hr

Pay-by-the-hour help for one-off questions or quick projects. Schedule a slot or email when something comes up. Great for owners who'd rather bring in a strategist who knows the tools than learn them from scratch.

Pay-As-You-Learn
$500/mo

Three one-on-one training sessions per month, plus access to WISLR's weekly live virtual group training (no more than 10 attendees per session to guarantee personal guidance). You bring the AI tools, we'll train you on how to use them.

Enhance my Website
$3,000

The starting cost for an AI website upgrade. Your site does more with less effort: faster content updates, more pages surfacing when customers look, and the technical bones that turn it into a real customer acquisition channel. Final price scales with your site's size and complexity.

Bigger or more complex engagements (retail with product collateral, multi-location, large catalogs, custom integrations) are scoped individually, more of a flat-fee scope so there are no surprises.

Flexible financing

Built around your cash flow.

We want you excited about the engagement, not weighed down by it. Small-business cash flow rarely matches agency invoicing cycles, so every WISLR engagement ships with Buy Now Pay Later available on all projects, plus milestone billing and other flexible options that keep the work moving without stretching your runway.

Buy Now, Pay Later

Available on every WISLR project through our partnerships with Stripe, Affirm, and AfterPay. Spread the cost over installments, with terms set by the lender at checkout, so the work ships now while the cash plan stretches across the months when the AI is already paying for itself.

Milestone billing

Tie payments to engagement milestones instead of calendar dates. Pay when scope is signed, when the install is live, and when the operate-together phase wraps. No surprise invoices, no front-loaded burn.

Owner-operated finance fit

Our signature advantage. Twenty years of building for owner-operated businesses means we structure engagements around real small-business finance: seasonality, slow weeks, big tax months, and the timelines that actually matter.

We're your Claude & ChatGPT Guys for Atlanta and the surrounding area.

You know how some folks have a plumber they call or a bookkeeper they trust? On Main Street that's how the best work tends to get done: a person you know, a quick text, the job handled. WISLR is the same idea, for the AI side of running a business.

Tony Castillo, AI Expert

So what is Claude?

Claude is the AI made by Anthropic. Think of a very fast, very capable assistant that can read, write, analyze, design, and code from plain-English instructions. It can draft your emails, write your menus, polish your product photos, build pages on your website, and answer customer questions in your voice. It's the same kind of AI powering ChatGPT and Gemini, just from a different lab with a sharper focus on careful work. Most agencies and big companies use one or all of them. WISLR uses Claude every day.

And why does everyone need a Claude Guy?

Because AI is moving faster than anyone running a business has time to learn. The owners who win this decade are the ones with a person on speed dial who already knows how to point AI at their actual work. You don't need to learn the tools, you need someone who already has. Same way you don't refile your own taxes or rewire your own panel: you call the person who does. WISLR is that, for AI. We set Claude up around your business, run the workflows with you, and stay on call when the next thing comes up.

Built with Claude, by people.

Proudly rooted in the Atlanta area, serving business owners across the entire metro: Atlanta, Tucker, and Chamblee.

Common questions

Quick answers on the accelerator.

Who is AI for Main Street for?
Any local small business that wants to operate with AI: independent retailers, restaurants, professional service firms, healthcare practices, trades, and similar. The service is open. The first call is where we figure out which engagement shape fits your business.
What does AI cost for my business?
Most of the recurring cost lives in subscriptions to the AI tools themselves, which start at roughly $100 to $150 per month per seat when you're getting going. That budget gets you access to the most modern applications: text drafting and reasoning (Claude, ChatGPT), spreadsheet and data analysis, code and document editing, and a research/notes layer. WISLR helps you pick the right stack so you're not paying for tools you don't use, configures everything around your business during the install, and trains your team to operate it. Beyond the tools, the WISLR engagement itself is what you see in the pricing cards above, starting with a free 1:1 and $125 per hour AI on Call help when something needs an AI expert on the line.
How is this affordable?
There's no agency retainer to sign and no monthly minimum. Owners pay for exactly what they need from the pricing cards above: a free first call, $125 per hour AI on Call help when something specific comes up, $500 per month Pay-As-You-Learn training if you want to run the tools yourself, or a fixed-fee website enhancement when there's something to ship. The pricing works because agentic AI lets one AI expert serve many small businesses with the same depth enterprise brands get, and we pass that productivity gain straight through to the price.
Do you think you can teach me how to use AI for my business?
Absolutely, and that's exactly what we do best. Teaching small-business owners to use AI for their actual work is the core of the practice. The Pay-As-You-Learn plan was built for this: three one-on-one sessions a month plus access to WISLR's weekly live virtual group training (capped at 10 attendees per session so you get real attention). We start with how the tools actually work, then point them at your real business: your customers, your products, your day-to-day. You leave each month with workflows you can run yourself, and a person to call when something new comes up.
Do you offer financing or Buy Now Pay Later?
Yes. WISLR partners with Stripe, Affirm, and AfterPay for Buy Now Pay Later on every project. The lender sets the installment terms; we just make the option available at checkout. We also offer milestone billing tied to project gates (scope signed, work shipped, project complete) instead of calendar dates. We work with your cash flow, not against it.
Why is WISLR doing this?
Because independent business owners shouldn't have to wait in line for AI solutions. We're repurposing 20+ years of enterprise digital experience to supercharge the businesses that anchor Main Street: their websites, their marketing, their day-to-day operations. Agentic AI lets one AI expert serve many small businesses with the same depth enterprise brands pay six figures for, and we pass that productivity gain straight through to the price.
