Whetstone — sharpen your skills
We hone how teams think with AI.
A method for working with AI, not a bag of tricks. Workshops, private sessions, and custom systems for teams that take their work seriously.
Premise
Most people use AI like a fancy search engine — ask once, get an answer, done. But AI is a partner, not an oracle.
Services — three ways in, same approach
AI fluency workshops
You'll leave with a new mental model of how to work with AI, not a random list of prompts. From 1:1 sessions to full-team trainings or keynotes — one method, whatever the size of the room.
AI consultation
Working with leadership on AI strategy. One-off audits, ongoing strategic work, or a fractional AI lead — we act as your sounding board and partner.
Custom AI implementation
Systems built around your data and your workflows. Completely custom, cloud or local, optimized for your use case and budget.
Method — you are the expert. AI is the amplifier.
- You are the expert. AI doesn't replace your judgment, it helps you act on it.
- A way of thinking. Tools change every six months. Habits of mind don't.
- Plain English. No prompt libraries to memorize. No 47-step frameworks.
- Iteration over invocation. Treat AI as a collaborator, not a search engine.
Who we work with
Solo professionals (lawyers, doctors, consultants, expert witnesses, CPAs). Small teams of 2–20. Mid-market operations, legal, finance, and customer-facing groups. Leadership teams deciding what to do about AI.
Team
Two founders. Two builders. Two teachers. Chris Parles and Justin Feldstein — backgrounds in software, product, and operations.
