Why I Build AI for Local Small Businesses
Jeff's story: from gym owner to AI consultant, why he's building for Columbus small businesses, and what AI agents actually do inside a real business.
Columbus · Dublin · Central Ohio
Bringing AI to the businesses that actually run Main Street.
CBus AI Agents is an AI consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio, serving small businesses across Dublin and Central Ohio. We build custom AI agent systems that handle lead capture, proposals, follow-ups, and scheduling, so owners get their evenings back. Founded in 2025 by Jeff Binek.
You built your business with your own two hands. Then somewhere along the way the business started running you. We build AI systems that take the admin off your desk so you head home at 5 with it all handled.
