SAUG is Brian Bruner.
Solo AI consultant based in Austin. Hands-on workshops, half-day training, and monthly retainers for small and mid-sized teams that want AI their people can actually use.
Three principles, non-negotiable.
They sound obvious. Try working with a firm that doesn't operate this way, and you'll see why I wrote them down.
Honesty over upside
If a project shouldn't happen, I say so. If a vendor is right for the job and I'm not, I say that too. Trust compounds; pitches don't.
One senior practitioner: me
No junior hand-off, no pod. The person you book a call with is the person who runs the workshop.
Outcomes over deliverables
Success means workflows your team uses on Monday. If a deliverable won't change how someone works, I won't recommend building it.
In your room, on your stack.
Brian Bruner
Brian spent a decade running operations inside small and mid-sized businesses, watching AI get talked about constantly and adopted rarely. He founded SAUG to close that gap, starting with the Austin metro.
The hardest thing in AI consulting isn't building the model. It's making sure you build the right one, that someone owns it after I leave, and that the team can tell whether it's still working in six months. That's what SAUG was built to do.
