A local consultancy for businesses that want AI to be useful, not a science project

Sac AI Consulting was started by Jason Maggio to close a specific gap: small businesses, solopreneurs, freelancers, and content creators in the Sacramento region know AI matters, but the advice available to them is either generic internet content or enterprise consulting priced for companies fifty times their size.

We work differently. Engagements start with your business — where the hours actually go, what software you already pay for, what your team will realistically adopt — and end with working systems and a trained team, not a slide deck of recommendations.

What we believe

• Independence matters. We don't resell software, take referral commissions, or push a platform. Recommendations are based on what fits your business and budget.
• You should own everything. Every account, every automation, every document lives in your name. Nothing we build is designed to make you dependent on us.
• Adoption beats sophistication. A simple automation your team actually uses beats an impressive one they route around. That's why training and follow-up are part of every engagement, not add-ons.
• Safety is part of setup. Data privacy settings, usage policies, and human review for anything customer-facing are defaults, not upsells.

Certifications & training

Advice is only as good as the expertise behind it. Sac AI Consulting team members hold the following certifications:

• ✓Google AI Professional Certificate
• ✓Anthropic certification — Building with the Claude API
• ✓Anthropic certification — Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• ✓Anthropic certification — Claude Code in Action

Why local

AI consulting can be done from anywhere — which is exactly why most of it feels generic. Being in the Sacramento region means we can sit in your office, watch how work actually flows through your team, and be there in person when something needs fixing. For small businesses, that difference shows up in the results.
