About
AI should work for your business, not the other way around.
Placeholder mission copy: most small businesses hear constant noise about AI but get none of the specifics. Steady Local exists to close that gap — with a plan built around one business at a time, not a generic playbook.
How We Work
Three things we hold to on every assessment.
Plain language over jargon
No prompt-engineering buzzwords. Just what to do, in an order that makes sense.
Numbers over hype
Every recommendation is weighed against real hours and real dollars, not novelty.
Action over analysis
A report nobody implements isn't worth much. The plan is built to be started this week.

Reid Kilibarda, Founder
I started Steady Local after noticing something in my own work: I was using AI to save real time and get real results — and it became clear that knowing how to actually implement it well isn't a standard skill yet, even though the tools themselves are ready.
That's the gap I wanted to close. I believe every AI project should do one of three things: save you time, make you more money, or improve the quality of what you deliver to your own clients. If it doesn't do at least one of those, it's not worth your time or mine.
My job is to handle the technical side — finding the right tools, setting them up correctly, and making sure they actually keep running — so your time goes back to the things only you can do, not the things a system should be doing for you.
