One senior expert, every role your month needs
You are not hiring a job title. FirstCoast.ai puts one senior professional to work across strategy, builds, tuning, coaching, and training, spent wherever the month actually demands it, as a Monthly Retainer or as Flexible Hours.
Every role a client would otherwise hire separately
You're not hiring a job title, you're buying hours from someone who is all of them, spent wherever the month demands: strategy on Monday, a build on Wednesday, coaching on Friday.

Monthly Retainer
Reserved monthly capacity for steady needs.
Built for a business with a running list: agent tuning most weeks, a training session some months, a new feature in others. Capacity is reserved on a regular cadence, agreed at quote time to match how steady your workload actually is, and revisited whenever that changes.
- A standing hour bank you can spend on any of the roles, wherever the month demands
- Working sessions, priority scheduling, and a monthly report of what moved
- Sized to your workload at quote time, adjusted as the work changes
- The better deal per hour whenever the need is ongoing rather than occasional
Flexible Hours
Scoped expert hours for occasional changes.
Built for a business with one thing on the list this month, not a running one. Work is scoped and billed only for the hours a specific fix, build, or question actually takes, with no monthly reservation and no minimum to keep paying for.
- The same senior expert at an hourly rate, no monthly commitment
- Good for one-off builds, fixes, and questions that need an expert answer
- Billed for the hours the scoped work actually takes, nothing held in reserve
- Converts to the Monthly Retainer once the work turns steady
How the hours actually split
There's no separate bucket for strategy versus builds versus training: it's one capacity, pointed at whatever the month actually needs. A few shapes that takes in practice:
Split between agents and a website
A retainer client mid-way through a new chat agent might spend most weeks on the build, then shift a working session toward a landing page the agent needs to hand leads off to, without opening a second engagement for either one.
Strategy first, then training
A client architecting a broader AI plan might spend the first stretch mostly on the roadmap and a tool evaluation, then lean the same hours toward hands-on training once the plan moves from paper into the team’s daily work.
Tuning now, a new feature later
A client with a live agent might spend a quiet month on prompt tuning and small fixes, then redirect that same capacity toward a new site feature the moment it becomes the more urgent thing, no re-scoping required.
What the Part-time Professional is not
This isn't a package of pre-set hours for one kind of task. Keeping something already working online is Hosting & Support. Building something entirely new, big enough to define cleanly up front, is a fixed-price project. Everything in between, tuning, extending, advising, coaching, is what this hour bank is for.

Questions we get asked
Should I choose the Monthly Retainer or Flexible Hours?
Flexible Hours is the entry point: the same senior expert, prepaid by the hour, with no commitment, right for one-off changes and questions that need an expert answer. The Monthly Retainer reserves standing capacity: a monthly hour bank with working sessions, priority scheduling, and a monthly report, right once the work turns steady. Plenty of clients start on Flexible Hours and convert once the rhythm is obvious, and we will tell you when the retainer becomes the better deal.
Can the hours really move between totally different kinds of work in the same month?
Yes, that's the whole point of buying a person instead of a package. The same hour bank covers strategy, builds, design, tuning, coaching, and training, and it shifts as your priorities do. You don't reopen a new engagement or renegotiate scope every time the most urgent thing changes.
What's the difference between the Part-time Professional and Hosting & Support?
One line: the plan keeps it running, and the Part-time Professional moves it forward. Hosting & Support covers everything required to keep what already exists healthy: monitoring, updates, patches, and break/fix. Anything that changes or improves it, whether that is a new capability, a new page, a tuned prompt, or a training session, is Part-time Professional work.
Do I need to know which role I need before I ask?
No. Most clients describe a problem, not a job title, and that's exactly how this works: one senior professional covers every role a project needs, so you don't have to sort strategy from build from training yourself. The guide below can help narrow it down, or you can just ask.
