Our Services

Three ways to work with us, depending on how far along you are.

Start with an AI Snapshot

Most clients start here, and there's a reason. It's one week: we interview you and a few key people, inventory your tools, and watch how the work actually flows. You walk away with a one-page list of your top 5 AI opportunities, ranked by what pays back fastest. No long-term commitment, just clarity.

See How It Works

Navigate

We advise.

You get a trusted AI advisor who learns your business, filters the noise, and tells you what matters, what to do first, and what to skip. Monthly strategy call, a fresh written plan every quarter, and email and phone access in between. No building, just clear direction.

Execute

We build one thing.

You bring us a problem, we solve that one problem. Workflow automations, custom AI tools, or AI agents rolled out to your team. Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. No long-term commitment.

Transform

We run it all.

Think of us as your part-time AI team. We map your whole operation, build the highest-impact solutions first, train your people as we go, and stay on to keep everything running. One partner accountable for all of it.

About Us

Luke Bachtold, Founder of This Day AI Consulting

Hi, I'm Luke Bachtold, Founder of This Day AI Consulting.

Technology has always been my language. I grew up in my parents' Radio Shack franchises, fascinated by how things worked. That curiosity led me to teach myself several programming languages and explore automation long before it was popular. Everything changed when I discovered AI in late 2022. I spent every spare moment mastering it because I could see what it would do for the way we work.

Skill without purpose is empty, though. The mission for This Day AI Consulting didn't come from a business plan. It came to me during a 7-day spiritual fast, and I walked away with total clarity on my goal: use my talents to sponsor 3,000 children in developing nations.

I'm a husband and a father to three little boys, and that shapes how I think about AI. I'm not building systems to replace people. I'm building them to empower people. When you work with me, you get the technical mindset of a builder, the strategic focus of a business owner, and the commitment of a father building a better future.
