AI consultant in Cleveland
I'm Vanwayne Chaney. I help small businesses and their teams put AI to work: the right tools, set up on your real work, and your staff trained to use them without leaking anything.

What I do as your AI consultant
- Find the work AI should take. I sit with your team, watch how the week actually goes, and point at the jobs worth handing off.
- Set up the AI you already pay for. Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude, connected to your real work, with your data kept private.
- Automate the repeat office work. Email, paperwork, follow-ups and reminders, built and run by my company, Zulvan.
- Train your team. Hands-on sessions for staff, chambers and schools, so people actually use it.
- Be your AI person, monthly. One person who owns AI for your company, without a full-time hire.
Proof
- Invited to teach AI at Miami University's College of Engineering and Computing, September 2026.
- 5.0 from 5 reviews on Google. One owner wrote, "He doesn't oversell. When something wasn't going to save me money, he told me straight up."
- The last office job I took over went from an hour a night to about 2 minutes, measured before and after.
Who I am
Computer Engineering, Miami University. Certified across Microsoft, Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. I grew up in Glenwillow and went to Solon City Schools, class of 2019, and I'm based in Solon now.
Questions owners ask
What does an AI consultant do for a small business?
Finds the work in your business that AI can take over, sets the right tools up on that real work, and trains your team to use them safely. Advice you can't act on Monday isn't the job.
Do you work in person?
Yes. I'm based in Solon and meet clients around Cleveland, Twinsburg and Akron. The rest can happen remotely.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you need. The first 30-minute call is free, and you get a fixed price before any work starts.
How is this different from Zulvan?
Zulvan is my company that builds and runs the automations. This is the advisory side: the plan, the training and the person who owns AI for your team.
