What you can try
The five major AI companies, side by side
We do not sell an AI of our own, so we have no reason to steer you. You try them, you choose.
Each one can be tried for free. Subscriptions, if you ever want one, are paid to the company, never to us.
Questions
Before you come in
Is it really free?
Yes. Your first appointment is free when you are new to AI. No card, no deposit, nothing to pay at the end. Book it, come in, play.
What happens in the hour?
You sit down beside an expert at the lab, on your own laptop, and try the major AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, SpaceXAI and Meta on real things from your own life: a letter to write, a trip to plan, a bill to understand. You type, you ask, you see what each one does. We answer every question. You leave knowing which one is yours.
Do I need to buy a subscription first?
No. Every one of them can be tried for free. If the one you choose has a paid plan worth having, we will tell you which and why, and you decide later. Subscriptions are paid to the companies, never to us.
What should I bring?
Your laptop if you have one, and your phone. That is all. No experience needed, nothing to install beforehand, and you sign in to everything yourself; we never ask for a password.
Is this a class?
No. It is private, one on one, just you and an expert, for about an hour. No group, no slides, no homework.
I already use AI. Is this for me?
Then you want the main lab: we fix it, improve it, or move it to a different AI, at https://ai-chs.com. $60 an hour doing it yourself with an expert beside you, $160 an hour if we do it for you, paid after.
What happens after I choose?
Nothing, unless you want it to. Most people go home and use it. If later something breaks, you want it to do more, or you want to switch, that is what Charleston AI does every day: fix, improve, move.
Can I walk in?
Appointments only. The hour is yours, so the expert is sitting with you, not with whoever walks in. Booking takes under a minute.
Come play
Booking is free and takes under a minute. So is the appointment.
