E-String Technologies, Inc. Information

E-String Technologies is Julio Barros's AI consulting practice in Asheville, NC. I help small businesses and small development teams move from "we should probably use AI" to working automations in their real systems. Most AI consulting right now is someone rebranding from social media advice. I am an engineer first. 40 years shipping production software, a portfolio of 13 iOS and web apps, founder of the AI in Production conference, co-founder of the Agentic Cafe working group. I build with these tools before I recommend them. The work comes in three shapes: AI Tools Assessment. A structured review of your workflows with 3-7 specific tool recommendations and an implementation plan. Full refund if the recommendations are not useful. AI Jumpstart. Two weeks of hands-on implementation. I put 2-4 high-impact AI workflows into your actual environment, train your team, and document the time saved. Full refund if the workflows do not save time. Agentic Shift. A four-week program that moves a development team from "uses Copilot as autocomplete" to building real agentic workflows. Pay weekly. Refundable if the week's goals are not met. 1-20 person businesses and small dev teams in Asheville and anywhere (remote friendly).
