Welcome to Hepler Consulting

Helping institutions, organizations, and individuals find collaborative, human-centered, AI-enhanced solutions.

About Me

Hello, my name is Reed Hepler! I use my experience as a Digital Initiatives Librarian, Copyright Agent, Instructional Designer, and multipurpose GenAI user to advise institutions, corporations, and individuals on how to use GenAI ethically and responsibly.

I also assist them as they develop and use critical thinking and information literacy skills. Furthermore, I can advise on proactive data privacy and confidentiality in regard to AI tool use.

Another product I provide is, well, products! I can create trainings, documents, data analyses, and other things with AI or advise you as you make these products. I can also create Custom GPTs for you that incorporate your own data and publicly available data. Some of my GPTs can be found on libra ryrobot.or g, and all of my tools can be found by searching my name on ChatGPT.com.
