FOUNDER & LOCAL PARTNER

Hi, I’m Austin Berry.

I’ve spent more than 15 years on the side of business that decides whether a company grows: answering inquiries, following up with leads, and turning a phone call into a booked appointment. Most of that time was in behavioral health admissions and business development. There, a missed call or a slow reply means someone doesn’t get help.

What the right system can change

I was the first sales and marketing hire at Lightning Step, a healthcare software company that builds EMR and CRM systems. There I learned how the right system changes the way a team works, and how the wrong one gets ignored.

Building with AI

Then AI changed what one person could build. I taught myself to build with it hands-on. I built AdmitSimple, an AI-powered admissions CRM with a HIPAA-compliant setup on AWS, and I build AI chat and voice agents that answer and qualify inquiries for treatment centers.

I’ve run my own businesses too, so I know what it’s like when you’re the one answering the phone, chasing leads and doing the paperwork.

Why I started Tallahassee AI Studio

I started Tallahassee AI Studio because most small businesses don’t need hype. They need someone who understands how their business actually runs and can set up AI that helps on day one. I’ve called Florida home for about 20 years and I’m based right here in Tallahassee. When you work with me, you get a local partner who answers your calls.

What working together looks like

When a business owner brings me a problem, I want to understand the handoff, not just the screen or call where it appears. Who receives the request? What do they need before they can answer? What should happen when no one is available or the answer is uncertain? Those details shape a useful first version more than the name of a tool does.

Sometimes the answer is an AI assistant. Sometimes a website or a clearer way to record and assign work is a better fit. Before anything is connected to customer conversations, we can define what the system can and cannot do, when a person reviews or takes over, and what information should stay out of the workflow. The goal is a practical change your team understands and can evaluate.

Let’s find the one change that saves you the most time.
