Wind and solar energy forecasting experts at Steadysun
The sun ☀️ and wind 💨 are free and infinite resources, yet their inherent intermittency creates volatility that costs the sector billions annually, severely complicates market strategies, and poses a constant risk to the electrical grid that powers our world. At Steadysun, we have made resolving this paradox our core mission. We turn this chaotic uncertainty into a measurable, strategic, and competitive advantage. Our approach is built on a radical rejection of simplicity. While most forecasting solutions rely on a limited number of meteorological models, we view this as fundamentally insufficient—akin to piloting an aircraft while looking through only one window. We have engineered an AI brain 🧠, a proprietary and powerful intelligence designed to operate with a full 360-degree vision. This engine is continuously fed by an unparalleled diversity of data in the market. It aggressively aggregates and analyzes information from over twenty specialized meteorological models, ranging from global experts to hyper-local specialists, leveraging the strengths of each. Crucially, we augment this with real-time data from satellites 🛰️ tracking cloud formation, live readings from ground sensors providing on-the-spot conditions, and years of deep historical datasets that serve as our AI’s memory, allowing it to learn from and eliminate past errors. This massive data fusion is our signature: the multi-model approach. It enables us to detect weak signals that others miss, delivering power generation forecasts of exceptional reliability and predictive accuracy. For our clients, this advantage is profound and tangible. It grants power producers the ability to sell their energy at optimal prices 📈 and plan maintenance without sacrificing peak production. It equips traders with the confidence required to manage risk and capitalize on volatile market opportunities. And for grid operators, it provides the indispensable tool needed to anticipate every ramp event and guarantee security of supply for everyone. We are not just selling data. We are selling confidence—the confidence necessary to invest massively in and operate a sustainable, reliable, and profitable energy future. 🚀

Founder & CEO at Ai Agency San Antonio
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.
