Agentic Insights · Austin, TX

Fractional Chief AI Officer for revenue-stage startups and scale-ups

You have real customers, a few AI pilots, and nothing in production yet. A fractional Chief AI Officer gives you senior AI leadership for a few days a month, without a full-time executive hire.

What a fractional Chief AI Officer does here

  • Picks the bets.

    We choose the few AI projects worth funding, assign owners, and set a delivery cadence.

  • Ships pilots to production.

    We add evaluations, observability, review gates, and rollback paths before AI reaches customers.

  • Makes your expertise durable.

    Context engineering moves expert workflow knowledge into prompts, docs, tests, and APIs your team and your agents can rely on.

  • Handles AI agents that touch money.

    I design agent workflows with payments, receipts, refunds, and human sign-off.

Fractional Chief AI Officer vs a full-time Head of AI

A full-time hire makes sense once AI is a standing department. Before that, a fractional leader gets you the strategy and production discipline now, sets up the team and process, and helps you hire the full-time lead when it's time.

Who this is for

Founders, operators, and product leaders at startups and scale-ups with real operations, who want one senior technical partner to connect strategy, implementation, and launch decisions.
