How Tim Works — the partnership model + what gets built

A.
Partnership
$10,000/month Ongoing engagement
The way Tim prefers to work. Embedded with your team, ongoing — building and coaching at once. Tim is the AI hand on your side: websites, CRMs, assistants, whatever the month actually needs. Most of the value compounds because the same person who learned your context last month is shipping in it this month. The roster is kept intentionally small so the relationship stays real.

What gets built inside a partnership · also available as one-off projects

Websites
2–4 weeks · one-off from $5K

Modern, fast sites that work for both humans and AI agents. Schema.org markup, /llms.txt, structured JSON feed. Edit-by-chat: the client tells Tim, or tells their AI which tells Tim.

CRMs
4–8 weeks · one-off from $15K

Relationship systems for people who use an AI assistant every day. Plain markdown files on disk, or sits on top of an existing Salesforce or Airtable. Readable to any AI tool.

Personal AI Coaching
Ongoing · weekly working sessions

One-on-one coaching to actually use AI in your work. Mostly using the LLM you already have, correctly — prompts, workflows, file connections, where it earns its keep. A few light integrations get set up along the way.

Custom AI Systems
Scope-dependent

For situations that don’t fit the three above. Past work includes one-off systems for restaurants, foundations, churches, communities, and individuals.

Prefer a one-off project, retainer, pro bono, or revenue share? See §04 Engagement Models.

Fit Profile — who Tim works best with

Where I’m strongest

  • Leaders who want to change something real, not just buy a tool
  • Teams willing to learn AI hands-on, not delegate it away
  • Missions, products, and places I want to see go well
  • Situations where the diagnosis matters more than the build
  • Engagements where flexibility on scope is a feature, not a bug

§04

Engagement Models — four ways to work together

PRO BONO
For people doing something good with no resources to pay.
Ask. Worst case the answer is no — but it’s often yes.
PROJECT
Fixed-fee, scope-based. For one-off builds.
Starting at $5K. Larger engagements scoped individually.
PARTNER
SHIP
$10K/month, ongoing. Small, intentional roster.
Embedded with your team — building and coaching together. The way Tim prefers to work.
REVENUE
SHARE
For for-profits where I’m helping grow revenue.
Aligned incentives — I get paid when what I help build pays you back.

FAQ — eight common questions

Q1How does pricing work?
Four ways. Partnership is the lead model — $10,000/month, ongoing, embedded with your team to build and coach. The roster is kept intentionally small. Fixed-fee project for one-off builds, starting at $5,000. Larger engagements scoped individually. Pro bono for people doing something good with no budget. Revenue share for for-profits where I’m helping grow revenue.
Q2How long do projects take?
A new website: 2–4 weeks. A CRM: 4–8 weeks. A personal AI assistant: 1–3 weeks for the core setup, then ongoing tuning.
Q3Do you work outside New York City?
Yes. Most work is remote.
Q4Can you work alongside our existing IT team or developer?
Yes. Tim is comfortable being one of several hands on a project.
Q5Are you available right now?
As of May 2026, yes — Tim is taking on up to two new clients. After that, the queue closes until something wraps up.
Q6How do I start?
Email tim@timcox.co with a sentence describing the situation. Tim responds within a day or two.
Q7What is Tim’s thesis?
That software is moving from apps and SaaS to AI-first workflows. The way teams get things done is shifting from “open the right tab and click the right buttons” to “ask, and have it done.” Tim helps small organizations make that transition in concrete ways.
Q8Do you really work for free?
Sometimes. If you’re trying to do something good and you don’t have a budget, ask. Worst case the answer is no — but it’s often yes.

PATH 01Ask your AI about Tim

Open one of the assistants below with a pre-filled prompt that asks it to evaluate fit and suggest the right next step. The assistant will read timcox.co and answer.
