You already have the tools. I'll show you how to use them.

How SideGuy runs on AI and free official data, the live proof, and three ways to learn it.

Hi, I'm PJ. I've done enough reps to profess.

Don't just chat with your AI. Take it to the next level.

You already have the tools. I'll show you how to use them. An AI assistant on your phone, free government data that updates every day, a website that can rebuild itself every morning. Almost nobody wires them together. SideGuy runs on exactly that, and PJ teaches it: to a business owner, to a family helping a parent, or to a room full of people.

The proof: 12 live official feeds, read every morning

Every flag is a free public data source this site reads each day, and the page it keeps fresh. No subscriptions, no scraping behind logins, no paid data.

  • Flu, COVID and RSV · San Diego's wastewater levels and California's weekly admissions (CDC wastewater + hospital data)
  • Disaster help · whether San Diego County has a federal disaster declaration (FEMA)
  • Nursing homes · stars, inspections, owners, fines and payment denials (Medicare (CMS))
  • Beach water · every sampling site's posting today (County of San Diego)
  • Free library events · classes for older adults, next two weeks (San Diego County Library)
  • City council agendas · what's on the agenda this week (Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Oceanside, County)
  • Social Security raise · the inflation numbers the COLA is computed from, and SSA's announcement (Bureau of Labor Statistics + Social Security)
  • Car recalls · every safety recall for your make and model (NHTSA)
  • Household recalls · heaters, tools, bikes and baby gear recalled this month (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)
  • Weather and alerts · warnings, rain and heat for North County (National Weather Service)
  • Earthquakes · every quake within 150 km (USGS)
  • New laws · the bill text behind each change (California Legislature)

Asking vs. running

Asking an AI random questions is like working out and starting over every time, with no muscle memory. Give it reps, a memory and a scoreboard, and it gets stronger every day.

Most peopleWhat you'll learn
Ask it random questionsGive it a job and a schedule
Get an answer, then forget itGive it a memory: notes, rules, a log of what it did
Take its word for itMake it check the official source, and catch its mistakes

What you'll learn

  1. Run it from your phone. Start work, check on it and approve the next step from anywhere.
  2. Wire in the free data. Find the official feed behind the question your customers or your family keep asking.
  3. Check every fact before it ships. AI makes confident mistakes; you'll see how to catch them at the source.
  4. Turn the news into help. A new law, a storm, a flu season: what changes, and what to do first.
  5. Let it run the routine. Hourly and daily jobs that report back in one line, so you get your time back.

Wire some Claude into your life: three ways to learn it

  • One on one: The SideGuy Hour, $150. Bring your business or your family's to-do list, and leave with your version set up and working.
  • A small group: owners or neighbors around one table. Text PJ for dates.
  • A talk for your group: a club, an HOA, a church or a team. Text PJ.

You keep everything that gets set up. PJ sells no software and takes no commissions.

Questions people ask

Do I need to buy software to use AI for my business?

Usually not to start. The AI assistant on your phone and the free government data feeds cover most of it; this site runs on free official data read every morning.

What free data can a small business or family use?

Plenty: CDC health data, FEMA declarations, Medicare's nursing home records, county beach water postings, library events, city council agendas, car recalls, weather alerts and the bill text of new laws. Each flag on this page is one.

How much does a class with PJ cost?

One on one is The SideGuy Hour, $150. For small groups and talks, text PJ for dates.
