ABOUT CHAD
Work directly with the founder
Looper Systems is led by founder Chad Drew in Manhattan Beach, California. Chad is an approved Claude SMB Trainer and TechStack certified. Looper Systems is a member of the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce. Chad also owns and runs an e-commerce business he started in 2014, and he built its systems himself, so he knows what it's like to have too few hours and too few people.
If you'd rather learn the basics before talking to anyone, Chad also teaches Claude workshops for small business owners.

WORK WITH CHAD
How it works
Where Manhattan Beach owners usually start: faster replies to weekend inquiries, proposals drafted from your notes, company answers your team can find without you, and simple rules for how staff use AI.
STEP 1
A 15-minute call
You tell us how the business actually runs. We talk through whether AI is worth pursuing. If there's nothing worth pursuing, we'll say so on the call. No obligation.
STEP 2
The paid AI assessment
If there is a fit, the next step is a paid AI assessment, quoted after the call. We look at your leads, follow-up, admin, and the knowledge that lives in your head. You get a plain list: where AI helps, where a simple automation or a better process is enough, and where you shouldn't spend a dime.
STEP 3
The build
We set up the fixes inside the tools you already use, train your team on their real work, and tune it until it runs without you babysitting it.
Questions Manhattan Beach owners ask
Is there an AI consultant in Manhattan Beach who works with small businesses?
Yes. Looper Systems is based in Manhattan Beach and works with small business owners. You work directly with the founder, Chad Drew, not an account manager.
I know I should be using AI but I don’t know where to start. What’s the first step?
Start with the business problem, not the tool. Book a 15-minute call and tell us where things feel slow, repetitive, or stuck. We’ll tell you whether AI, a simple automation, or a better process is the right fix, and whether it’s worth doing at all.
How much does an AI consultant cost for a small business in Manhattan Beach?
The 15-minute call has no obligation. If there is a fit, the next step is a paid AI assessment, quoted after the call. Any build work is quoted before it starts, so you know the cost before you commit.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary by business, so we can't promise an exact timeline. We typically see results within 90 days. We start with the fix that saves you the most time, then add more only if it's worth it.
Do you meet in person in Manhattan Beach, or is it all remote?
Both. Because we’re in Manhattan Beach, we can meet at your office or over coffee in town. Calls and video work too.
What AI tools do you use?
We start with the tools you already pay for. When a team needs an AI assistant, we often recommend Claude, and we’ll tell you if something else fits your business better. Chad is an approved Claude SMB Trainer and TechStack certified.
My employees already use ChatGPT on their own. Can you help us get organized?
Yes. We help you pick approved tools, set simple rules for what goes into them, put company knowledge where the team can use it, and train people on the work they actually do.
Will you tell me if AI isn’t worth it for my business?
Yes. Part of the assessment is listing where AI and automation aren’t needed. If the fix doesn’t make sense for your business, we’ll say so.
Is our business data safe?
It depends on the tool and the plan. Part of every engagement is deciding what can and can’t go into an AI tool, and picking business plans that don’t train on your data by default where that matters. Your IT or security people still own the technical controls.
Does Looper replace our IT person?
No. We focus on business workflows, setup, and getting your team to actually use what we build. Security, compliance, and access controls stay with your IT or security people, and we’re happy to work alongside them.
Not sure where AI fits in your business?
Tell us how things run today. In 15 minutes you’ll know whether there’s something worth fixing. No obligation.
