AI help for shops and owners who already know their regulars
Dooner Designs works from the Santa Cruz mountains. If your inbox follows you home — or the counter never quite clears — you do not need a software rebuild. You need a few steady habits and drafts you can trust before anything goes out.
Who this is for
Independent shops, family businesses, and people across Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, Soquel, Live Oak, Watsonville, Scotts Valley, Felton, Boulder Creek, and Davenport. Places where the owner still knows the regulars. Households where the laptop will not quit after dinner.
If you have been curious about AI and tired of being talked at, you are in the right place.
What we will not do
We do not sell you a platform rebuild. We do not claim AI will replace your people. We do not promise income. Kits and sessions produce drafts — you review, you send, you book, you post.
Start with a kit (same afternoon)
Open a kit built for the desk you already run. Host-agnostic — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a district-approved tool when policy requires it.
| Kit | Price | For |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals | $49 | Inbox, household logistics, money notes, career drafts, morning brief |
| Shops | $49 | Floor & inbox, voice, holds, reviews, morning floor plan |
| Teachers | $49 | Classroom and admin drafts — FERPA hygiene; you decide what families see |
| Realtors | $99 | Residential file writing with Fair Housing walls — never call output “compliant” |
Honesty: nothing sends without you. Commercial license for your work; no resale of the kit files. Digital downloads — no refund after download; if files will not open, write mike@doonerdesigns.com within 7 days for a replace.
Or sit down for Discovery Chat ($200)
Sixty to ninety minutes. We map the hours that should not sit with you, name three candidate jobs worth a kit or habit, and leave you with a first-week experiment you can run without a rebuild. Drafts and a clear next step — you decide what ships. Submitting a note does not book a slot; Mike confirms before anything is locked.
Workflow Sprint and Advisory Retainer are usually scoped after Discovery — no price tags invented on this page.
Books on Amazon
