From Military Service to AI Innovation
I'm Jay Tarzwell, an AI consultant and author dedicated to making artificial intelligence accessible and practical for businesses of all sizes. As a military veteran with deep experience in generative AI, I bring a unique perspective to the world of AI and chatbots.
My AI Journey
My fascination with AI began with a book I read in 9th grade featuring an Albert Einstein chatbot that helped the teenage protagonist navigate his journey. While the book's title has faded from memory, that image of a machine you could converse with mesmerized me. I honestly never thought I'd see the day when such technology would exist. Thirty-eight years later, when ChatGPT emerged, I fell in love with the possibilities.
From Vision to Reality
Today, I specialize in building bespoke AI applications with robust data privacy, particularly for sensitive industries like healthcare and legal services. Most businesses need practical, secure AI solutions that actually work—not just flashy tech demos. This realization led me to focus on developing AI apps through innovative approaches and extensive use of Model Context Protocols (MCPs) that transform chatbots from novelties into executive assistants.
The Chatbot Genius Philosophy
"The Chatbot Genius" isn't about me—it's about you. I believe anyone can become a chatbot genius with the right guidance. That's why I write step-by-step books designed to guide readers one page at a time, with hands-on practice using chatbots on their phones. Yes, books might seem old school in our digital age, but for many people, there's something irreplaceable about the tactile experience of learning from a physical book.
Real Solutions, Real Impact
I've helped organizations and individuals transform their operations through intelligent automation. From developing medical transcription tools that protect patient privacy to creating HR complaint management systems that ensure confidentiality, my focus is always on delivering real value while maintaining the highest security standards.
When I'm not consulting, training people to communicate effectively with AI, or writing, you'll find me exploring emerging technologies, spending time with my family, or working on my next book. I believe that AI should enhance human capabilities, not replace them, and I'm passionate about helping others harness this powerful technology responsibly and effectively.
