AI engineer - chatbots, agents, and the odd honest opinion
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.

Deep dive
She helped me analyze my company’s chatbot, which had been quite unreliable and often returned random answers in different scenarios. After reviewing both the chatbot architecture and my source code, she identified some fundamental design issues and suggested changes that made a significant difference in fixing the problems. I was very happy with the quality of her analysis and the practical recommendations. I’m even considering upgrading to her $999 service for a complete chatbot redesign.
Quick question
Quick response, and she also helped me with a few follow-up questions.
Quick question
Responded within 10 minutes and kindly answered all my questions. Great service.
Left by people who paid for an answer, through a link sent after they got it. I choose which ones go up, and I do not edit them.
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
01
Write your question
Pick an option, write the question, and tell me where to send the answer.
02
Pay
Checkout runs on Stripe. Your card details never touch my site.
03
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.
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@latentgirl.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.
- 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.
When the answer is "this needs building"
Some questions cannot be settled in writing, because what you actually need is the thing itself. For that there is a fixed-price starter build - one chatbot on your own content, or one marketing site of up to five pages, deployed on your domain.
