AI help for Puna & Hilo small businesses
Start with a free half-hour sit-down. I'll look at where your week goes and show you what AI can take off your plate, and I'll tell you straight when it can't.
How the AI help works →Pāhoa · Puna · Hawaiʻi Island
Plain-spoken AI help and hometown radio, from Pāhoa.
Aloha, I'm Jim Furst. I help small businesses around Puna and Hilo use AI to get through the paperwork nobody has time for: quotes, follow-ups, review replies, all of it. I'm also putting a classic-hits radio station on the air.
Two things I do
One company, FURSTMEDIA LIVE LLC, doing two jobs I've spent my life getting good at: computers and radio.
KPNA internet radio
Classic hits and soft-rock gold, a morning show with Captain Satellite 1, and original stories told the old-fashioned way. Built in Pāhoa, for Puna.
About the station →Who you'd be working with
I started Furst Computer Services in 1980, and I've been helping people get their computers to do what they need ever since. AI is the newest tool in that same box. It's useful for some jobs and overhyped for others, and knowing which is which is most of what I bring.
Radio was my other career. I spent more than ten years in Oregon radio: program director at KWRO in Coquille, where I hosted Jim Furst in the Morning, then mornings at KYNG AM / K-105 FM in Coos Bay. I hold FCC First and Second Class licenses, and I wrote and produced commercials for local businesses along the way.
These days I live in Pāhoa, which puts me a short drive from most of Puna. When you call, you get me, not a call center.
Let's talk story
