I am Dr. Isaac Balbin. I have founded, built and sold technology companies, and I work with the same AI the frontier labs are shipping. Now I help Melbourne businesses use it where it actually pays off: faster customer replies, less admin, marketing that keeps up, and tools built around how you already work.
The big consultancies charge five figures and hand you a report. The online courses leave you on your own. I sit in the middle: a senior operator who will look at how your business really runs, then set up the two or three things that save you the most time.
A Ph.D. engineer who ships AI for a living. You get someone who understands the technology, not someone reading you a vendor brochure.
I set things up inside the tools you already use, on real jobs from your business, so it keeps working after I leave.
Melbourne based, and a message away when you or your staff get stuck. Not a helpdesk in another timezone.
Start small at a workshop, go deep with a 1:1 Jumpstart, or keep me on call every month. Most people begin with one and grow into the next.
A hands-on session where you leave with AI set up on your own laptop, not notes you never open again.
I audit how your business runs, find your biggest time-wins, and build them with you, live, in your own tools.
Keep me in your corner. I keep your AI running, build new automations, and I am there when your team has questions.
Currently taking on a small number of foundation clients. Not sure which fits? Book a free consult and I will point you the right way.

Answers your customers' common questions and books them in, day or night, in your voice.

An assistant that qualifies enquiries, sends your pricing, and books the ones worth your time.
Draft replies to enquiries in your own tone, ready for you to glance over and send.
Meetings and phone calls turned into clear summaries and action lists, automatically.

A tool that knows your prices, policies and tone, for you and your staff to lean on.
Have something specific in mind? That is exactly what the free consult is for.
Tell me about your business. I will tell you honestly whether AI can help and where. No jargon, no sales pitch.
Join a workshop, book a Jumpstart, or go straight to a retainer. Whatever fits your budget and how hands-on you want to be.
We set up your first AI wins together. You walk away using them the same week, not someday.
I am a Melbourne technology founder with a Ph.D. in engineering and fifteen years building, scaling and selling companies at the intersection of deep technology and real commercial outcomes.
I have taken a startup from zero through to an ASX acquisition, founded an AI venture studio, and I keep a foot at the frontier of what these tools can do. What I enjoy most is the opposite end: making powerful technology genuinely usable for people who do not have a technical team.
I would rather set up three things that genuinely save you time than dazzle you with twenty you will never touch. Everything is done in plain language, on your real work, so your team can actually run it once we are finished.
Start with a free consult. If I do not think AI will move the needle for your business right now, I will tell you that too.
