AI help in St. Petersburg from me, Jerry Banfield
Hey, St. Pete — If You Need Help With AI, I’m Your Man
I do incredible things with AI every single day. I carry the pro subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, and I know how to use all of them — each one has different strengths and weaknesses, and I have learned where each one shines.
A lot of what you are doing by hand right now, AI can already do for you. I can show you what that looks like for your specific life situation — your business, your clients, your content, or just making everyday things a little simpler.
AI is not something to be feared. It makes life easier. And the most amazing part is the stuff you don’t know that you don’t know AI can do. I know that stuff.
What AI Can Already Do for You
These are not demos or theory. This is work I do with these exact tools every day.
Video Editing & Thumbnails
You don’t need to spend hours editing video in 2026. I use Claude to set up a folder on my computer — I drop a video in, tell it what I want, and it cranks out an edited video. When I talk to content creators still editing everything by hand, it’s crazy to me. My thumbnails? AI made those too — I told it what I wanted and it did it instantly.
Your Business Documents, Answering Back
If your business has a mountain of documentation — even millions of words — you can dump all of it into ChatGPT and use a custom GPT model. Then you just talk to that model, and it pulls the exact information out for you. No more sorting through papers.
Website Hosting Without the Monthly Bill
If you built a site with Lovable or Replit or another vibe-coding platform, I’ve got a better setup than that. I can copy that website over to hosting with a small one-time cost instead of a recurring platform bill — I’ve already helped several friends move off platforms charging them every month. For most sites that are not heavy, intensive applications, the difference is dramatic.
Publish the Book That’s in Your Head
I’ve published 35 books with AI, and doing a book is easier than ever. A friend of mine recorded an entire book off the top of her head at my house. You can ramble, go on side tangents, talk for 10, 20, 30 hours into voice memos — give it all to me, and I’ll transcribe it, format it, and send you back a manuscript. Want more help? I’ll work with you to set up your Amazon publishing too.
AI for Your Business
If you have a business, I’m certain there are opportunities worth investigating where AI can do amazing things for you — with your workflows, your clients, your content, and the repetitive work eating your week.
Everyday Life, a Little Simpler
I even use AI for simple things. When I want to send an email, I just dictate the points I want to make, and it cranks out a nice email that’s appropriate for whoever I’m talking to. Small wins like that add up every single day.
If one of those made you think “I want that,” the fastest way to get it is to reach out and tell me which one.

Most other people teaching AI are showing you little tiny things. I use all the different models — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok — because each one has different strengths and weaknesses, and I viscerally understand them. I’m a real tech geek from way back, and I can feel what a model is doing and know when to adjust this or adjust that.
Here’s one example of what that looks like in practice. I’ve made thousands of YouTube videos, and I have a custom AI model trained on hundreds of hours of them. I dumped the videos into a folder, Claude used my graphics card to transcribe them all into text, organized everything into reference files, and I loaded those into ChatGPT. Now I have a model that talks just like me — it knows everything in those videos.
That same workflow is why I can film six videos in a day. After I film a video, I dump it in and it cranks out a title, a description, and a thumbnail. AI makes everything I do faster and easier — and I can set that kind of thing up for you.
AI can’t do everything. But knowing what AI can do helps you see how to do everything more efficiently.
I’m in St. Pete — We Can Meet in Person
What’s cool about working with me locally: I can meet up with you in person around St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay. I can sit down at your actual computer and help you figure out what it can do — including which AI models it can run.
A real face-to-face interaction is so much better, and there’s so much more we can do together in person than just talking on Zoom. If you’re not local, that’s fine too — I work with people online worldwide.
If you’d rather lock in a time than trade text messages, you can schedule a private one-on-one session with me right now — 30 minutes, on Zoom or in person around St. Pete, for $96.
Book a 30-Minute AI Session — $96How Working With Me Goes
Tell Me What You’re Facing
Text me what you want help with — your business, your content, a book, your website, or just “where do I start?”
We Meet
In person around St. Pete, or on Zoom if you prefer — and we look at your actual situation, on your actual computer.
We Set It Up
I show you what AI can do for your specific situation and set the workflow up with you, step by step.
You Use It Every Day
You walk away with tools you actually use. If you want ongoing help, we agree on the scope together before any work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be technical?
No. We start with the tools and comfort level you have now. A useful AI setup can be as simple as a repeatable prompt and a folder structure, and it can grow into a deeper automated system over time.
What does it cost?
Texting me to talk about what you need costs nothing. A private one-on-one session — 30 minutes on Zoom or in person — is $96. If you want hands-on setup or ongoing work beyond that, we agree on the scope and the price together, in writing, before any work starts.
Do you only work with people in St. Petersburg?
No. St. Pete and Tampa Bay get the in-person option — I can come look at your actual computer, which I love doing. Everyone else, I help online worldwide.
Which AI tools do you actually use?
I carry the pro subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, and I use all of them daily. They each have different strengths and weaknesses, and part of my value is knowing which one fits which job — and setting it up so you don’t have to figure that out alone.
Can you just do the work for me instead of teaching me?
Often, yes. Some people want to learn the workflow; others want me to build it or run it — like transcribing and formatting a book from your voice recordings, moving a website to cheaper hosting, or setting up a custom GPT on your documents. Tell me which you want and we’ll shape it that way.
Is there a way to keep working with you month to month?
Yes. After we talk, if you want ongoing access to me, my courses, and a community of people building with AI, you can join the Jerry Banfield Family. A one-time session or a text is the best first step, though.
Will AI really work for my situation?
AI can’t do everything, and I won’t pretend it can. What I can do is show you what it genuinely does well for your specific situation, set it up with you, and be honest when something isn’t worth automating.
