About Mark
I build websites and AI chatbots for small businesses in Western Montana.
Meet Mark
I'm Mark. That's Beck and Sinopah — she's the one upside down. We live in the Flathead Valley, and I build websites and AI chatbots for small businesses around here.
I started BeargrassAI because I think small businesses in rural Montana deserve technology that actually works — fast sites, accurate information everywhere, and AI that gives real answers instead of making things up. And I think you should be able to call the person who built it.
That's Beck, that's Sinopah (she's the one upside down), and those are the mountains we get to wake up to.
What I Build
Websites that stay accurate. Your site, your Google listing, and your chatbot all pull from the same source. Update once, accurate everywhere. No more "the website says 8, Google says 9, the door says 10."
AI chatbots that don't make things up. Your chatbot answers from information you've provided and verified. When it doesn't know something, it says so and connects people to you directly.
Honest advice about what you actually need. Sometimes a $35/month website is the right answer. Sometimes a chatbot would change your business. Sometimes AI doesn't make sense yet. I'll tell you which one.
Background
Before BeargrassAI, I spent years in tech building systems for major companies:
- 180 website migrations in 3 months for a nationwide service provider — I've done this at scale
- Building and delivering AI systems to business clients since 2023 — production systems, not prototypes
- Quality assurance background — my job was making sure what's online is accurate and reliable. That's exactly what your website and chatbot need
- In tech since 2017 — I've seen what works and what's hype
I left the corporate world because I wanted to build something of my own, in a place I love, for people I can actually sit down and have coffee with.
How We Work Together
We have a conversation — 30 minutes, no charge. You tell me about your business, what's working, what's frustrating. I tell you what I'd build and what it costs. If it doesn't make sense for you, I'll say so.
If we move forward, I build everything. You don't touch code. You run your business, I handle the technology. When something changes — new hours, new menu, new service — you tell me. I update everything.
You're not dealing with a ticket system. You're dealing with me.
