In the open

How we work, plainly

You deserve to know exactly what happens when you reach out. Here it is, with nothing in the fine print.

How we use AI

We teach people to use AI well, so we use it every day ourselves, in the open.

  • AI assistants from Anthropic and xAI help us sort our inbox, prepare materials and draft replies.
  • A person reviews every reply and every deliverable before it reaches you.
  • Our films are made with AI tools, including an AI narration voice, and each film says so.
  • This page was written with AI help, then reviewed and approved by us.

Where your note goes

Your note goes from this form to our email inbox, and we use it to reply to you.

  • The form runs on Shopify, which hosts this site and delivers your note to us.
  • Sending it does not sign you up for marketing email.
  • You can ask us to show, correct or delete what you sent at any time by writing to taylor@aicompanyusa.com.
  • The full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Platforms we use

These are the companies behind the experience, and what each one does.

  • Shopify runs this site, this form and our store checkout.
  • Stripe processes payments for coaching engagements. Your card details go to the payment processor, never to us.
  • YouTube plays our films, in its privacy-enhanced mode, and only after you press play.
  • Google Fonts supplies the typefaces on this page.
  • Anthropic and xAI provide the AI assistants we use.

Cookies

Yes, this site uses cookies. They come from Shopify, which runs the site, and from YouTube when you play a film.

  • Needed to work: they keep the site, your cart and checkout running and secure, and remember your cookie choices.
  • Analytics: they help us see which pages people find useful.
  • Films: YouTube may set its own cookies once you press play.
  • Shopify lists each one in its cookie policy (opens in a new tab), and your browser settings can clear or block them.

Questions about any of this? Ask us anything. We would rather explain than assume.

Prefer to write directly? We are glad to hear from you.
