Fractional Chief AI Officer · Austin
I'm Vaskin Kissoyan. I help founders get AI out of demos and into production.
A retained, senior AI partner for revenue-stage startups and scale-ups — strategy, production readiness, and accountable launch decisions.
The problem
You have real operations, real customers, and AI work that needs to stop living in demos.
You have real customers, a few AI pilots, and nothing in production yet.
The role
What a fractional Chief AI Officer does here
A senior AI leader who works part-time or on retainer, owning AI strategy and delivery without a full-time salary. You get one accountable senior person who sets direction and gets work into production, not a team billing for builds.
- 01
Picks the bets.
We choose the few AI projects worth funding, assign owners, and set a delivery cadence.
- 02
Ships pilots to production.
We add evaluations, observability, review gates, and rollback paths before AI reaches customers.
- 03
Makes your expertise durable.
Context engineering moves expert workflow knowledge into prompts, docs, tests, and APIs your team and your agents can rely on.
- 04
Handles AI agents that touch money.
I design agent workflows with payments, receipts, refunds, and human sign-off.
Practices
What we help with
Agentic Insights is a retained, senior AI partner. I set the AI operating model, which means picking the bets worth funding and turning them into a delivery cadence. I make AI production-ready with evaluations, observability, review gates, and rollback. I do context engineering, moving your experts' workflow knowledge into prompts, docs, tests, and APIs that last. And I design agentic commerce, meaning agent workflows that take payments with receipts, refunds, and human accountability intact.
