Consultation

Ask me one question.

A paid micro-consultation. You send one question, I send back one written answer - considered, specific, and written by me. Nothing to schedule, no thread to keep alive.

What this is

One question, one written answer.
Written by me. I use my own tools to check facts, but the thinking and the words are mine.
A fixed price and a fixed deadline.

What this is not

Not ongoing access to me, and not a channel for anything personal.
Not a substitute for a proper engagement - if the honest answer is “this needs a project”, I will say so.
Not urgent support. If something is on fire, this is the wrong door.

How it works

Write your question

Pick an option, write the question, and tell me where to send the answer.

Pay

Checkout runs on Stripe. Your card details never touch my site.

Get the answer

It lands in your inbox - or in your Instagram messages, if that is what you picked - within the window shown on the option you chose.

When I say no

I answer most things. I do not answer everything. If a question is outside what I can usefully help with, if it asks for something I am not qualified to give - legal, medical, or financial advice - or if it is abusive, sexual, or otherwise inappropriate, I refund it in full and do not answer. You get your money back without an argument and without owing me an explanation.

The same applies to a build: if we get on the kickoff call and decide it is not the right fit, I refund the whole amount.

Refunds go back to the card you paid with, usually within five to ten days depending on your bank.

If the deadline passes and nothing has arrived, email ask@anetakahleova.com. I will either answer or refund you.

Questions about the questions

What can I ask about?: Anything from my working life: chatbots and agents in production, RAG, evals, on-prem LLMs, .NET and Python, or the shape of a career in AI engineering. The awkward questions too - what to charge, whether an offer is fair, whether a plan is realistic.
Why is there a price on this?: Because a question with a price attached is a question someone thought about, and because the time to answer it properly is real. The fee is also the reason I can promise a deadline.
How long is an answer?: A quick question gets a few well-aimed paragraphs. A deep dive gets as much as the question needs - usually a page or two, sometimes with links or a sketch of an architecture.
Can I ask a follow-up?: One question, one answer. If the follow-up is small I will usually answer it anyway. If it turns into a conversation, that is a scoping call, and the first one is free.
What does the $999 build actually get me?: One chatbot on your own content, or one marketing site of up to five pages, designed to match your brand and deployed on your domain, with one round of revisions. The full scope sits next to the option itself. Anything bigger needs a scoping call first, and I will tell you so rather than take the money.
Is this confidential?: Yes. I do not publish questions or quote them, and I do not pass your details on. Your question is stored with the payment record at Stripe so that I can retrieve it if an email goes missing.
Do I need an account?: No. Stripe handles the payment and takes a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
Can I get an invoice?: Yes - reply to the Stripe receipt and I will send one.
What if I would rather talk?: Then book the free thirty-minute scoping call from the contact page. This page is for the times you only need one answer.
