Your local ai coach
Practical, hands-on AI training for small businesses, teams, and professionals across eastern North Carolina. Built by a working IT trainer who knows how to teach — and a coach who knows how to win.

ai training that actually sticks
No buzzwords, no theory dumps. Every session ends with you (or your team) able to do something useful you couldn't do an hour earlier.
Discovery
We sit down, look at how you actually work, and find a handful of places where AI will save you the most time this month.
Hands-on training
Live coaching sessions where you build real prompts, real workflows, and real automations using your own work.
Ongoing reps
Optional monthly retainer keeps your team sharp, fielding questions and building new workflows as they come up.
Built for the businesses that built New Bern
BearTown AI works with the small professional firms, nonprofits, and family-run businesses that make eastern NC tick — law offices, accounting firms, real estate teams, insurance agencies, medical practices, contractors, and local nonprofits.
If your team has been hearing about AI but isn't sure where to start (or has tried it once and bounced off), that's exactly who I built this for.
