Custom AI Build | Surety & Insurance | Kansas City, MO
A Kansas City surety bond producer was spending hours each week manually tracking government bid lettings, chasing contractor leads across state DOT portals, and missing opportunities because the data moved faster than he could.
He needed an intelligent system that could watch the market for him, surface the right prospects at the right moment, and enable him to act on intelligence — not just information.
Working together, we built a custom AI-empowered bond intelligence radar that monitors 17+ government data sources across 8 states, tracks 9 unique engagement signals, scores every contractor by bonding potential, and surfaces ready-to-act opportunities through a sleek dashboard, auto generated comms, and a conversational AI agent.

You don't need to know anything at all. That's why we step in. Through our audit, we learn where your business is losing time or money, and we determine whether AI can help or not. If it can't, we'll show you why.
Most AI consultants deliver a strategy deck, offer training, but ultimately leave you to build your own solutions. We create and deliver working systems that are in place before we finalize our agreements. Our systems have evolved from the same systems we use ourselves.
$150K to $10M in annual revenue. We utilize AI with such great efficiencies that we provide solutions for small businesses and even individual sales producers, who have never been able to afford tailored solutions before.
We have created solutions for $10k that traditionally cost well over $100K to develop and implement. Even so, our solutions have changed the trajectory of entire businesses.
Assessment takes a few days. We have working prototypes within a few weeks and often have fully deployed solutions producing measurable ROI within a few months.
We map your operations, talk to your team, and identify the top 3-5 highest-impact opportunities where AI creates immediate return. You receive a prioritized roadmap with expected outcomes for each one. Our approach includes reimagining how AI changes the traditional constraints within your existing workflows.
