AI Consulting & Workflow Automation

Smarter workflows,
thoughtfully built.

I help businesses streamline and automate with practical, human-centered AI systems, designed around the real people who use them every day.

The Real Cost

What staying where you are is actually costing you

Time

You're spending Sunday nights on things a system could handle

Quotes, follow-ups, intake forms, reminders. The work is real, but it doesn't have to be yours. Every hour spent on repeatable tasks is an hour not spent on the work only you can do.

Opportunity

Good leads go cold while you're heads-down in the business

When follow-up depends on you having a free moment, it rarely happens fast enough. The clients who would have been a great fit quietly move on to someone who got back to them first.

Clarity

Everyone's talking about AI. Nobody's told you what to actually do with it.

The tools exist. What's missing is a clear-eyed look at your specific workflow, someone who can cut through the noise and tell you exactly where AI would make a real difference for you.

About

Where systems meet the humans who use them

Most consultants focus on what's technically possible. I focus on what actually works, for your team, your clients, and the people your business serves.

Technical skill meets human sensitivity

I understand how automation tools work and how the people using them think and feel. That dual lens produces systems that actually get adopted.

Strategy and implementation, not just advice

I don't just recommend solutions. I build them, test them, and make sure your team is ready to use them confidently before I step back.

Workflows that are usable, not just impressive

Elegant automation is only valuable if people actually use it. I design for clarity, sustainability, and minimal friction from day one.

Services

What I can help you build

From strategy to hands-on implementation, every engagement is focused on practical outcomes: more clarity, less manual work, and systems your team will actually use.

AI Opportunity Assessment

We map your current workflows, identify your highest-leverage automation opportunities, and build a clear, prioritized action plan so you know exactly where AI can help and where to start.

02

Workflow Automation Design

Strategic design of end-to-end automation systems tailored to your business, tools, and team. You get a practical blueprint that's scalable and built to reduce real friction.

03

Hands-on implementation of AI-powered workflows using n8n, Zapier, Airtable, and more. From intake forms to routing logic to AI-assisted drafting, I build and test the full system.

04

Systems Integration

Connect your existing tools into a cohesive system that communicates, routes, and runs with minimal manual effort. No more copy-pasting between platforms or losing things in the gaps.

Debbie DeMarco Bennett, AI Consultant

The Founder

"The best AI systems feel invisible, until you notice how much better everything runs."

I'm Debbie DeMarco Bennett. For over 13 years, I've worked in the mental health and psychoeducational space, founding DBT Path, an online school built on the belief that learning and systems should meet people where they are.

That same philosophy shapes every automation I design. I build AI workflow systems that reduce friction, save real time, and actually make sense to the people who use them, not just the people who built them.

My background isn't typical for this space, and that's exactly what makes the difference. I bring deep empathy, careful systems thinking, and a practitioner's eye for what works in the real world. The result: automation that's usable, sustainable, and quietly effective.

100% Human in the loop

Philosophy

AI should amplify your judgment, not replace it.

Every automation I build keeps a human in the loop at the moments that matter. AI handles the repetitive, the routine, and the time-consuming. You stay in control of the decisions that shape your business and your relationships.

i.

Human in the loop, always

This isn't just a design principle. It's a commitment. Smart systems should make you more capable, not more dependent.

ii.

Built for small businesses and service providers

I specialize in practical, right-sized automation for businesses that don't have a dev team, but do have real operational complexity worth solving.

iii.

Usable, not just impressive

Elegant automation is only valuable if people actually use it. I design for clarity, sustainability, and minimal friction from day one.
