I’m an entrepreneur working at the intersection of AI, product execution, and healthcare access. Over the last decade I’ve built and led teams that turn new technology into practical tools for real businesses. I co-founded BotsCrew in 2016, grew it into a global AI services company, and later joined the CourtAvenue collective, where we help large enterprises adopt generative AI with speed and precision. I also founded AllClinicalTrials.com and Curify, two platforms focused on making it easier for patients to find and enroll in legitimate clinical trials. That work started from a personal experience trying to find treatment options for a family member, and it pushed me toward building products that remove friction from complex systems. My background is in applied mathematics and AI, but most of my learning came from building things fast, talking to customers, and fixing what didn’t work. I’m especially interested in how generative AI will reshape operations, customer experience, and decision-making in large organizations. I try to share what I learn - both the wins and the mistakes - so others can move faster.

Most AI conversations I have with CEOs and CFOs start the same way: "We know we need to do something with AI, but we're not sure what will actually move the business forward." That's where I come in. I help executives separate the signal from the noise. Which AI investments make sense for your business? What should you build first? How do you measure if it's working? And more importantly, how do you avoid spending millions on projects that end up as expensive demos? I run STX Next's AI and Data practice. We're a 20-year-old engineering company (started as a Python shop, now 200+ people across Poland and Mexico) that's delivered over 1,000 projects for mid-market and enterprise clients. Financial services, industrials, healthcare, energy. Companies that need systems that scale, not experiments that fade. My team builds data platforms and AI systems that connect to real business problems. We work on Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure, but the technology stack matters less than understanding what problem you're solving and what success looks like. Before any project starts, I ask the same question: "What decision will this system help you make faster or better?" If we can't answer that clearly, we probably shouldn't build it.

Hey, I’m Mark Solis — CTO of AI Agency San Antonio. I’ve been in the digital marketing for a decade and ai automation space for over 2.5 years, building campaigns, streamlining business processes, and helping brands grow with smart tech. My focus is simple: use A.I. to help businesses save time, reduce costs, and scale faster without working harder. At AI Agency San Antonio, we specialize in building A.I. automation tools for businesses of all sizes — from small mom-and-pop shops to large companies across the U.S. Whether you need help with a custom chatbot, ai phone agent, automating customer service, or automating your internal business operations, we’ve got solutions ready to plug in and run. We work with industries like real estate, healthcare, legal, eCommerce, home services, events, hospitality, and more. I’ve seen firsthand how automation changes everything — from lead gen to customer support and even internal operations. A well-placed chatbot or phone agent can literally save a team 30+ hours a week. We’re based out of Timberwood Park on the North East Side of San Antonio, just off Judson Road — but we serve clients across the country. San Antonio is home base, and I love working with businesses along Highway 281, 1604, and into the downtown tech corridor. What drives me? I’m obsessed with efficiency and creating systems that work around the clock. I stay sharp by following industry leaders like Sam Altman, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng, and I always keep tabs on what’s next in the A.I. world. According to PwC, A.I. could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 — and I’m here to help business owners claim their piece of that. If you’re ready to explore what A.I. can do for your business — or even if you’re just curious — reach out. Let’s talk about what you’re doing now and how we can make it smarter.

We have a running joke at Sandler, "Even though sales is the most common profession in the world...no one grows up dreaming of becoming a salesperson" Well, I did. As a teenager in the late 2000s, I regularly found myself sitting in the back seat of my dad's car, listening to Sandler training CDs on our weekend hockey trips across the east coast. He was a client at the time and later became a franchise owner. Almost 15 years after listening to Sandler CD's in the back of the car, I got the chance to join Sandler full time. My love for sales has only continued to grow as I dive into new sales technology especially surrounding AI and automation tools. I always enjoy connecting with others who are interested in sales processes, marketing strategies, or overall business ownership so I can stay up to date with different trends and learn from others at the same time. My passion is helping individuals and companies leverage proven sales methodology and cutting edge sales technology to Sell Smarter.

I’m Tim Cakir, founder of AI Operator, and I spend my days helping people understand AI and actually enjoy working alongside it. There's a lot of extreme views about AI. Some claim its a magic pill that will solves all our problems and make us rich. Others see it as existential threat to humanity that will take away our purpose. Here's what I think: AI is a tool - an extremely powerful tool that removes the boring, repetitive parts of work, frees up our time, and allows us to focus on more creative, meaningful projects. I’ve trained teams at companies like Google, Recharge, and ScaleUp, showing them how to bring AI into everyday workflows, in ways that actually stick. My favorite moment is when an AI skeptic suddenly “gets it” and starts imagining all the ways it could help them. I'm on a mission to help more people see AI as an opportunity, not a threat, and give them the tools to make it part of their own success story. And outside of work? You’ll probably find me sailing, DJ-ing, making music with my wife - or building with AI.
