Who can get a big win from a 90-minute Backporch AI Work Session?
TECH
You just want the job handled.
Invoices chased, intakes that flag themselves, a CRM that updates itself. Running before next week, with someone still there when it snags.
TALK
You want in on AI without becoming a coder.
You need one problem, one wired-in system, and someone who's watched forty years of tech waves roll through. That's what I'm for.
TWEAK
You built something cool with Claude, and it stalled.
You got it working Tuesday night, then it stuck: no clear UI, nothing secured, no logs when it breaks. That last mile is my whole career. Bring me your half-baked AI project and we'll get it production-grade.
How this works
Before
Book your session. $97 to hold your space. Then go through the Feel Good Business Canvas and send it over, and fill out a form with your specific questions. 3 days before, we start a shared slack channel. Everything you send gets dropped in there, so we can start chatting and I can start understanding your challenge. The work is already beginning at this point.
The session
90 minutes, side by side, where we can tech, talk or tweak, whichever your challenge needs.
After
The slack channel stays open three more days. You put it to work in your business, and I'm right there when something snags.
Local or remote. If you're near Central Ohio, let's do this IRL. If you're not, I'll sit on the porch and send you back porch vibes over Zoom.
Work Session Price
Only $97.
- 90 minutes side by side, local or remote
- Private Slack channel, 3 days before and 3 days after
My promise: something new with AI will surprise you more than you imagined, and I will help you make it run every day without breaking.
And when it's time to go deeper into your truth, we can just talk.
We're in lattes and leaves mode. Limited sessions, while the fall weather still gives us porch time. Let's chat now, before you're suddenly writing your year-end review and trying to cram in one more win for 2026.

Hold my space for $97What happens after you book
Step 1: Right after you book, you'll get a short prep form. Tell me what you want to tech, talk or tweak, and send along anything that helps, like links, screenshots or a quick Loom. Go through the Feel Good Business Canvas too if you haven't yet.
Step 2: Three days before we meet, I'll open a private Slack channel just for you, plus a Notion page to hold our notes and your plan. Everything you send lands there, so I start working on your challenge before we ever sit down.
Step 3: Then we get 90 minutes, side by side, on the porch or over Zoom. We leave with something that works.
Step 4: After the session, the Slack channel stays open three more days while you put it to work. I'm right there if something snags.

FAQ
Do I need to be a coder?
No. One problem and ninety minutes.
What if I don't use Claude?
I prefer Claude for a million reasons, but I design tech agnostic solutions, because everything shifts fast. We work in whatever system you are most comfortable.
Is it really only $97?
Yes. If this is your first time working with me, I want it to be an easy yes. But I'm going to be honest, 100% of the time people have wanted to hire me for more after this session is over. It's no pressure. It's simply a great way to see what it's like to work with me. And to not feel like you want to "pick Lori's brain" for free.
What if I'm not local?
Local or remote, your pick. If you're near Central Ohio, let's do this IRL. If you're not, I'll sit on the porch and send you back porch vibes over Zoom. Either way you'll hear the birds.
I'm not a business owner. Can you still help me?
This fall, the porch is for business owners. That focus is what makes the sessions work. But follow along: I show what I build with AI every week, and plenty of it you can borrow. And if you know a business owner who needs this, send them my way. Referrals make my day.
Is this for me?
My only requirement: you run a full-time business, or you're funded and building one.
Lori Mercer Trimble
Doing what I love, in my AI coding era.
I've been writing code since I was 9 in 1981. Thirty years of enterprise systems. It's the thing my brain was built to do, and I get to be alive for the most exciting era coding has ever had.
This fall, I'm doing it from my back porch.
Writing code since 1981. I build AI-run operations for small businesses.
