Southwest Michigan's Cannabis AI Partner

Grow more, manage less.

We help Southwest Michigan dispensaries, wholesalers, and cultivators put proven AI tools to work — so your team runs the business, not the busywork.

Enterprise experience Local, in-person service No-obligation consultation

We set up the AI.
Your team runs it.

We don't sell software. There are already great tools built for cannabis — we get the right ones working in your operation, and train your team to run them. We'll build a small custom solution only when nothing off-the-shelf fits.

Implementation

We set it up

The right cannabis-built AI tools, working in your operation — matched to your needs.

  • Compliance & documentation — automated recordkeeping and checklists that keep COAs, batch records, and daily logs filed in one place, so the documents are ready when someone asks for them.
  • Inventory & reporting — reconciliation, low-stock alerts, and sales dashboards.
  • Customer comms & marketing — age-gated chat and SMS plus compliant content that captures leads inside cannabis ad rules.
Education

Your team runs it

Hands-on training so AI sticks — confident, everyday use, not just on day one.

  • Staff AI training — plain-English, hands-on sessions for the people doing the work.
  • Workshops & playbooks — on-site sessions and simple written guides for dispensary, wholesale, and cultivation workflows.
  • Ongoing support & coaching — a monthly partner on call as tools evolve. We don't disappear after setup.
Custom

When nothing fits, we build

Off-the-shelf can't cover everything. When it doesn't, we build the gap.

  • Small-scale custom solutions — lean, focused, and maintainable. Built for the one workflow no existing tool handles — never bloated.

Built for licensed
Michigan operators.

We work exclusively with licensed cannabis businesses across Southwest Michigan — so we already understand the compliance pressure you're under.

Technology is our talent.
People are our passion.

We're Alex and Jake — We started SWMI AI because we kept seeing the same thing: small business owners who knew AI could help them, but didn't have the time to figure it out on their own. We're not chasing a trend — we're two people who understand technology and genuinely want to give business owners their time back.

We understand people as much as we understand technology. That combination is what our business is built on — helping small business owners use AI for the simple, repetitive tasks eating their time, so they can get back to their families and the work that actually matters.

"We don't pitch. We listen. Then we get the right tools working in your business — and teach your team to use them."

Every engagement starts with an in-person discovery session at your location — no Zoom calls, no generic proposals. We learn your operation, put the right tools to work, and train your staff to run them with confidence.
