Maria Blair, AI consultant in Boca Raton

Boca Raton · Delray Beach · Palm Beach

Thoughtful AI for the businesses of Boca Raton.

Private, in-person AI training and setup for owners and their teams. I come to your office, learn how you work, and put AI to work on your real tasks.

Your team is busy with emails, notices and paperwork a computer could start for them. You don't need to become a tech company. You need someone to show your team exactly where AI fits, and set it up so it lasts.

Services

Four ways to work together

Most clients begin with team training, then add setup and support as their confidence grows.

Start hereAI Team Training

Hands-on training at your office, on your team's own daily tasks. Everyone leaves knowing how to get useful results, not just how to type into a chat box.

Done with youAI Implementation Sprint

We find your biggest time-wasters and build the fixes together: a shared AI "business brain" with your policies and documents, ready-to-use templates for repeat work, and AI connected to your email, calendar and files.

Never miss a callAI Receptionist & Website Chat

A gracious, always-on assistant for your phone and website. It uses your own hours, policies and pricing to answer routine questions, book appointments and capture leads, and passes anything urgent to your team.

Stay currentOngoing Support

A monthly check-in to add new workflows, answer questions, and keep your team current as the tools change, which they do every month.

A specialty

Property management, understood from the inside.

Before consulting, I spent years as a software engineer at Yardi on the RentCafe and facilities teams. I know the systems behind tenant emails, maintenance requests, late-rent notices, vacancy listings and after-hours calls.

I also advise real estate offices, law firms, med spas and clinics across Palm Beach County. Every business has repeat work, and that's where we start.

An engineer who speaks plain English.

I'm a senior software engineer with more than 11 years of experience, including leading front-end work on an AI-powered analytics platform and building property management software at Yardi.

What clients value most is that I explain technology so anyone can use it, which I also do every week on my YouTube channel, Maria Talks Tech. I live in Boca Raton and meet clients in person.

Questions

What owners ask

Does my team need to be good with technology?

No. If they can write an email, they can use AI. I teach to the least techy person in the room.

Is our information safe?

I set you up on business-grade plans and show your team exactly what the tools can see, what they keep, and what never to paste in.

Can AI answer our phones or website chat?

Yes. An AI receptionist can pick up every call, day or night, answer routine questions and book appointments. You decide what it handles and when it passes a caller to your team.

Which AI tools do you use?

Mostly Claude and ChatGPT, connected to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. I recommend what fits your business and the tools you already pay for.

Where do you work?

In person across Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Palm Beach County, and remotely anywhere.
