Lauren Cairns

AI consultant for founder-led businesses

Find out where AI will actually pay off in your business.

I'm Lauren, an AI consultant and ex-PwC operator. I help small to mid-size founder-led businesses find the work AI can take off their plate, then build it with them. No tool-selling, no slide decks that gather dust.

Sound familiar?

  • You're still the bottleneck. Every question, approval and “quick thing” lands on you.
  • Your team uses ChatGPT, but the answers are bland because it knows nothing about your business.
  • Everyone says AI will change everything, but nobody's told you what it should do in your business.
  • You don't want another subscription. You want a plan you can trust.

That's the gap I close. I start with how your business actually runs, then find where AI genuinely helps. And I'll tell you where it doesn't.

How the AI Audit works

  1. 1

    Free AI Fit Call

    30 minutes. We talk about your business, where the time goes, and whether an audit makes sense. No pitch.

  2. 2

    Map how you really work

    I sit with you and your team and find the friction. The audit takes about four weeks, depending on the size of your organisation.

  3. 3

    Get your plan

    An opportunity map, a feasibility and data assessment, and a final report with a prioritised roadmap.

  4. 4

    Decide what's next

    Run with the plan yourself, or have me build the priorities with you. Either way, the plan is yours.

About me

I'm an AI consultant working with founders in Canada, the US and Australia. I spent a decade getting big messy change projects over the line. Now I run my own business on AI, and I help other founders do the same, without the hype.
