About
Practical AI. Real Results. No Jargon.
Great Lakes AI Consulting is DJ Merza — one consultant, every client, no hand-offs. You talk to the person doing the work from day one.
Why DJ Started This
DJ Merza built Great Lakes AI Consulting on a simple belief: the businesses that will thrive in the next decade are the ones that learn to work alongside AI — and they shouldn't need a Fortune 500 budget or a six-month implementation timeline to get there. DJ works directly with every client, speaks English and Spanish, and has a personal rule: your first automation is live in under 24 hours or he works for free until it is. Whether you're a family-owned restaurant in Michigan, a trades contractor losing leads after hours, or a mid-market company with a legacy ERP that hasn't talked to anything since 2009 — DJ has seen it, built it, and deployed it.
What We Stand For
Straight talk, always
DJ tells you what AI can actually do for your business — not what sounds impressive in a pitch deck. If it won't move the needle, he'll say so.
You talk to the builder
No account managers, no hand-offs. DJ scopes it, builds it, and deploys it. You have his number.
Speed is a feature
Every engagement comes with a 24-hour deployment guarantee. DJ doesn't do slow — your time is money.
Your stack, your rules
DJ builds connectors to fit your existing systems. No rip-and-replace, no forced migrations, no vendor lock-in.
Meet the Founder
Great Lakes AI Consulting is built around one person's commitment to getting things done — fast, right, and without the runaround.
