What We Do
⚙️

Custom AI Systems

AI tools and workflows designed to address you and your organization's specific needs. From full-stack local setups with secure web access, to bespoke applications allowing modern AI agents to interface with legacy software, and anything between. We'll help you deploy AI that serves your purposes, on your terms.

🔒

Security & Privacy Consultation

Do you know where your data goes? Are you prepared for new and emerging AI-related security threats, like prompt injection? Privacy and security go hand-in-hand. We audit your existing AI integration by mapping data flow, identifying vulnerabilities, and providing detailed, actionable guidance on hardening your systems' defenses.

🎓

AI Literacy and Training

AI is transforming how work gets done at an unprecedented rate. We want to help you develop the skills and knowledge you need to harness AI's economic and educational potential, along with the judgment to navigate the tradeoffs and unknowns. We want you to learn how to control these new tools, so the tools can't control you.


Why This Matters
[2-3 paragraphs. This is the thesis — the worldview that pre-sells the funnel. Cover: why open source over proprietary, why self-hosted over cloud-dependent, why boutique/personal over enterprise. Connect to the audience's concerns about privacy, control, and not being dependent on any single vendor. Recommended: 200-300 words. Tone: conviction without preaching.]
Services
[Expanded descriptions of each offering. For each service: - What it includes (scope) - Who it's for (individual vs small business) - What the engagement looks like (timeline, deliverables) - Pricing signal ("starting at $X" or "contact for pricing") Recommended: 3-4 service blocks, each 50-100 words.]
Resources
[Links to educational content. Start with: - AI Briefing (news.optimoss.ai) — daily AI news and analysis - Add guides, tutorials, blog posts as they're created. Format as cards or a simple list with descriptions.]

About

I'm Curtis A. Smith, an experienced generative AI practitioner living in Riverside County, CA. A user of LLMs since GPT-2, I started OptiMoss because I believe this technology can empower everyone, if everyday people can understand and control the underlying processes.
