Easley Consulting
Thomas Easley.
Herbalist, educator, builder of useful things.
I run a herbal medicine school, see clients in clinical practice, and write books. Alongside that I build tools for researchers, historians, clinicians, and businesses — AI systems for knowledge extraction and retrieval. When the problem is interesting and the people are good, I take on outside work.
What I do
Herbal medicine and clinical practice
Twenty-five years in clinical herbalism. Co-author of The Modern Herbal Dispensatory. I run the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine and a community clinic in Andalusia, Alabama.
Education and curriculum design
Foundational and clinical curriculum used by hundreds of students across multiple programs. Practical pedagogy. Useful from week one.
AI systems and knowledge graphs
AI systems for research and knowledge extraction. I designed the Encyclopaedia of Western Medicine (15,000+ evidence cards, 700+ pages) and a hybrid reasoning-reranking search index over a 2,000-book reference library.
Who I build for
Researchers
Custom retrieval over your literature. Citation networks. Verbatim quote extraction. Knowledge graphs grounded in primary sources, not hallucinated summaries.
Historians
Archive digitization with OCR and structured extraction. Evidence-grounded synthesis. Source-of-truth pipelines that quote verbatim, cite the page, and never paraphrase.
Clinicians
Decision-support tools. Bloodwork analysis. SOAP note assistants. Clinical reasoning systems grounded in your own protocols and materia medica, not generic medical training data.
Businesses
Knowledge graphs over internal documentation. Custom AI workflows for ops, training, and research. Practical, durable, built to last past the demo.

I take a small number of outside projects each year, when the problem is interesting and the people are good. If that sounds like your situation, tell me about it.
