About

You know AI could help your business. You just need someone to show you how.

You have heard the buzz. You have probably tried ChatGPT once or twice. But turning it into something that genuinely saves you time every week? That is the bit most people get stuck on.

That is where I come in

I am Scott Mitchell, founder of Stepping Stones AI. I help business owners, marketers and teams get practical with AI so they stop wasting time on tasks a machine could handle and get back to the work that actually matters.

But I did not start in AI. I started with a problem most people can relate to: a system that was not built for me.

Building systems that actually work

I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid. School was not designed for the way my brain works, so I had to build my own approach. Active recall, spaced repetition, structured revision plans. I did not know these had fancy names at the time. I just knew that “read it again and hope for the best” was not going to cut it.

It worked. I was predicted three Bs at A-level and walked out with three As. I went on to study Physics with Astrophysics at the University of York. That experience taught me something I have carried ever since: the right system beats raw talent, every time.

The turning point

When ChatGPT arrived in late 2022, I saw the same opportunity I had found with my revision systems. Here was a powerful tool that most people were using badly, or not at all, because nobody had shown them how to use it properly.

I spent months learning everything I could. Not just prompts, but proper workflows, brand voice documents, custom GPTs and repeatable systems that turn AI from a novelty into a genuine productivity tool.

I founded Stepping Stones AI in June 2025 with one goal: help business owners get real, practical value from AI. Not theory. Not hype. Hands-on training that leaves you with skills and systems you can use the very next day.

What clients say

Jack Brennan

CEO & Founder of Green Lane Brands

I recently had the pleasure of training with Scott Mitchell from Stepping Stones AI, and I was genuinely impressed. The sessions were packed with valuable insights and practical knowledge on how to leverage ChatGPT and other AI tools to elevate my business. Scott delivered a deep dive into the different ChatGPT models, their capabilities, and how they can be effectively used across various areas of business. He explained complex topics in a way that was easy to understand and immediately actionable. His approach was not only informative but also incredibly supportive, giving me both the confidence and the tools to start applying AI more effectively. I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to harness the power of AI to grow and streamline their business.

Irene Afful

CEO & Founder of Ametrine Consultancy

I was introduced to Scott through a business network colleague and had the opportunity to take part in 1-1 AI training with him. As an absolute AI-phobe and having little to no knowledge of using AI for my business, the sessions with Scott transformed my thinking. He really helped give me clarity on how to use AI and all the great features. He helped me navigate all the different ways AI can help with research, training and daily tasks. He has real in-depth knowledge of all things AI. It was a really informative experience and I have my AI bible to refer back to. I am now using AI daily to support me in my business. Thank you Scott!

Marcus Edwards

CEO & Founder of Not Just Travel

As a complete novice using ChatGPT, I wanted to use it more efficiently to help me further streamline my business practices. I booked in with Scott and BOOM! I learned so much about how AI can transform what I do and save me hours! Really appreciated the tailored approach and the accompanying report he had prepared that focussed on ways that AI could help me specifically. Highly recommend Scott's services and insight.

A bit more about me

I am based in Liverpool. It is where I network, where I meet most of my clients and where Stepping Stones AI was born.

Outside of training, I am interested in sustainability and have taken part in climathon events exploring how technology can help tackle environmental challenges. I believe AI should make people's working lives genuinely better, not just busier.

If you are wondering whether AI training is right for you, the honest answer is: if you are spending hours each week on tasks that involve writing, researching or organising information, it almost certainly is.
