Two people who want to help you make the most of AI.

Eagle Harbor AI is a husband-and-wife team. One of us built AI at the highest level. The other built and sold a business, and coaches people for a living. We started this because small-business owners deserve a steady, human guide as the tools keep changing, and you can start wherever you are.

Meet Ashley & Eric See the three ways in No jargon. No pressure. Real people.
The two of us

One built the technology. One built & sold a business, and now they coach owners like you.

Different work, on purpose. You get the engineer who has shipped AI at scale, and the founder who knows firsthand what it's like to run a small business, and how to teach it, patiently, to anyone.

Ashley Bieschke

Ashley Bieschke Founder & Coach

A small-business founder and a patient, practical coach. Ashley built The Relish, a sports-media company for women who love sports, and sold it to Rebel Girls. She's a 500 Global mentor, and earlier in her career she was at Pandora. She's genuinely AI-knowledgeable, but what she does best is meet people exactly where they are and help them take the first real step, with no jargon and no pressure.

Eric Bieschke

Eric Bieschke Chief Scientist

The engineer who has built AI at the highest level. Eric was Pandora's second employee and spent 16 years there as Chief Scientist & VP of Playlists, through the company's IPO. He built the Music Genome Project, the recommendation AI behind personalized radio for hundreds of millions of listeners, and studied at UC Berkeley. Today he's also building Artemis. He makes AI genuinely work for a real business: practical, not theoretical.

We met at Pandora, on the company volleyball team.

Years later, we're building this together: the technologist and the coach, pointed at the same thing: helping small-business owners and everyday people feel at ease with AI.

How we work together

One builds the technology. One guides the people.

It's a clean division of labor, and it's why the help you get is both technically real and genuinely easy to follow.

The technology

Eric builds the AI.

He designs and ships the actual thing, the same craft he brought to recommendation AI at Pandora, so what you get works in your business, not just on a slide.

The people

Ashley guides you through it.

She translates, coaches, and keeps the pace human, meeting you where you are so the tools feel like something you can actually use, and keep using.

the coach's half
People, not platforms. The humans who help you make the most of AI.

We don't replace your tools, and we're not selling one. We teach on Claude, because right now, for a business owner who wants reliability and the best results, we think it is the best tool available. When that stops being true, we will change what we teach.

We teach on Claude / Anthropic The thinking transfers anywhere
Guidance, not guarantees

What's safe to connect, and what to leave alone.

Using AI safely is a skill, and it's one we're glad to teach: what's worth connecting, what to leave alone, and how to keep control of your own data. No one can promise perfect safety, but you'll always know how to make the call yourself.

You're in the driver's seat
Why we started this

Small business deserves a real guide, not hype.

We watched owners get talked at about AI and left more confused. We'd rather sit beside you, one who builds it and one who teaches it, and find the first honest step together, at your pace.

Let's find your first honest step with AI.

One short conversation, no pressure. Tell us where you are, and we'll tell you the way in that fits.
