The words in the film: Inconveniences. Time wasters. I've worked at and managed so many businesses that struggle to fix them. Don't know how. Too expensive. Not worth fixing. I've learned along the way that those are what kill businesses down the road. I started Yester & Morrow to solve problems. The Tech Lab is a consulting arm to get out and help others solve problems. Lots happening at once, but always order, flow and sequence. Fixed prices, and every fix has to pay for itself. For businesses, farms, groups and families. Keep what works. Fix what doesn't.

For businesses, farms, groups and families
I build systems that handle the routine: calls answered, follow-ups sent, paperwork filed, records kept and everyone on the same page. One fix or the whole operation, built around the apps you already use.
Free, 20 minutes. I'll get back to you the same business day.

Here's some of what runs our own farm and business every day.
The farm
We log every move and every seeding once, out in the field, on a phone. The grazing history, the rest days and the page our buyers see all come from that one record, so when a grant program asks, the records are already in one place.
The lab's phone line
When I can't pick up, the line takes the message and keeps a record of who called and what they need, so nothing waits on me remembering. It's part of the missed-call Quick Fix I sell, running on the lab's own number.
The back office
My own work runs on AI workers I built. They keep to a schedule, check each other's work, remember what they learn and bring me only what needs me.
Swap the pasture for a job site, a church hall or a kitchen table. Same problem, same fix.
Quoted after a Walk-Through. Every build includes setup, training and 60 days of Care.
Run It For Me
A job that comes back every week, like lead follow-up, books prep or the volunteer schedule. I do it on time, and you see what got done.
Not sure which size fits? The payback test points to the fix that pays back first.

No. Keep what works. Most fixes connect the apps you already use, so nothing gets typed twice.
Most routines. If it happens every week and somebody has to remember it, it can probably be handled: answering, follow-ups, reminders, records, schedules and lists. If yours isn't a good fit, I'll tell you on the free call.
Most can, one way or another: a built-in link, an email it sends, a file it saves. If one can't, I'll tell you on the free call, before you spend anything.
No. Farms, churches, schools, clubs and families too. Businesses and farms get the payback test; everyone gets plain English and a straight answer.
No. You need to know your work. I'll handle the rest in plain English.
No. Every build runs on sample information until every step works. Only then does it go onto your accounts.
You do, once it's paid for: your accounts, your data, your system.
Into your own accounts wherever possible. You'll know where each piece lives before anything is built.
On-site within about 45 minutes of Lapeer. Farther out, we meet on video.
I'm Chris Kamyszek. I've seen the problems on this page from inside big operations and from running my own businesses.
I spent more than ten years in the Air Force as a nuclear weapons specialist, flight engineer and special missions aviator. Since then I've run operations for a conveyor manufacturer, managed more than 20 install crews and 2,400 home projects a year across eastern Michigan, built a home improvement company from the ground up, and sold robotics and automation systems to some of the largest logistics companies in the country. Most recently I've built the quoting, estimating and follow-up systems for an industrial contractor. Alongside all of that, I ran my own photography and events business for 15 years.
I've put thousands of hours into AI over the last four-plus years, most of it digging into the fringe: figuring out how to get complicated systems working together by directing AI, and how to work through the problems that come up along the way.
I put it to work at home first. I run WildWoods Farm in Lapeer County with my family, and I built the Yester & Morrow farm app, the software our farm runs on every day.
The systems I've built run our farm's records, planning and finances, our household chores and our family calendar. They monitor our texts and emails for important dates and add them to the calendar, and keep up with the school and sports groups so the calendar updates on its own. Emails get summarized, with a reply ready to go out once I've looked it over.
What runs our farm and our home can do the same for your business, farm, group or family. That's what I build at the Tech Lab.
Tell me a little about what you need. I'll get back to you the same business day to set up a time.
