About Cherry Place AI

We help small businesses install AI systems that actually work — capturing leads, removing busywork, and providing clear visibility into operations.

TJ Ryan — Owner of Cherry Place AI

TJ Ryan

Owner & AI Systems Architect

AI is powerful, but it can also be overwhelming. My job is to make it simple.

I bring 10 years of business operations experience to the table, which means I look at AI through a practical lens. I've been an early adopter since 2023 and have been helping small businesses navigate this shift since 2024.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I spend my time mastering the latest developments so I can curate a personalized strategy that fits your specific needs. I'm here to help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and the right tools for the job.

Our Mission

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but most cannot afford a full-time AI team. Cherry Place AI exists to close that gap. We take the same AI capabilities that large enterprises use and make them accessible, affordable, and practical for businesses with 5 to 200 employees.

We do not sell hype. We do not deploy science projects. Every system we build is designed to run reliably, deliver measurable results, and operate without constant oversight.

What We Believe

Practical Over Flashy

We only build things that solve real problems. If an AI solution does not deliver measurable value, we do not recommend it.

Systems Over Tools

Tools sit on shelves. Systems run on their own. We build connected, automated systems that work without constant babysitting.

Outcomes Over Features

We measure success by business results — leads captured, hours saved, revenue protected — not by how impressive the technology sounds.

Clarity Over Complexity

We explain everything in plain language. You understand what we are building, why we are building it, and exactly what it costs.

Who We Serve

We work with small and mid-size businesses across industries — home services, professional services, healthcare practices, retail, and more. Our clients share a common trait: they know AI can help but need a trusted partner to make it happen without the risk and complexity.

  • Business owners who are tired of missed calls and slow follow-up
  • Operations managers drowning in manual admin work
  • Teams that need better data to make faster decisions
  • Leaders who want to adopt AI but do not know where to start
