Why "aiyuda"?
Ayuda is Spanish for help. Put AI in the middle and you get aiyuda: help, with some extra horsepower.
Our mission
To help people with the power of AI so they can do their best work.
How we work
- Start with the workflow, not the model.
- Fixed prices. You'll know the number up front.
- Teach it, don't hoard it.
- If a spreadsheet solves it, we'll say so.
- Boring and reliable beats clever and fragile.
Yes, we use it ourselves: Our own build: how we made this site.

Austin Basallo

Business operations, day to day. Knows where the hours leak out of a business and which fixes are worth the trouble.
