One last note for Minnesota retail stores & multi-location brands: the cost of waiting on AI in retail store is rising every quarter. Your competitors are deploying, your team is burning out on tasks AI handles for cents per call, and the talent to build it in-house is harder to hire every month. The fastest path forward is to bring in a team that's already done it. That's us.
Production AI in weeks, not quarters.
No decks. No upsells. Just a working conversation with the people who would actually build what we recommend.
