Philadelphia, PA

An AI consultant you can actually sit down with.

I'm Derek Schatz — a Philadelphia-based AI consultant. I help businesses redesign how they run projects around AI and train non-technical teams to use it. Most of my work happens anywhere over Zoom; for Philly-area companies, it can happen at your office.

Why work with a local consultant?

For strategy calls, remote works fine. But the two things I do most — mapping how your team actually works, and hands-on AI training — are meaningfully better in person. Process problems hide in hallway conversations and over-the-shoulder workflows that never show up on a video call. And a training room where people can raise a hand beats a webinar every time.

I'm based in Philadelphia and regularly work on-site across the metro — Center City to the Main Line, South Jersey to Wilmington. My first client engagement was a Philly-area law firm; the case study has the numbers (17+ hours a week recovered).

A Good Fit If You're…

A professional services firm (legal, accounting, insurance) drowning in document and admin work
An operations or delivery leader whose PMs spend hours on status reports and meeting notes
A company that bought AI tools nobody on the team actually uses
A leadership team that wants honest answers about AI, not a vendor pitch

Let's talk — over Zoom or over coffee
