Most AI projects fail
because nobody asked
what's actually worth doing.
Brooks Clifford has been building technology for twenty-five years and shipping production AI since the day it was possible. He is in New Orleans the last week of July seeing clients, with a small number of working sessions open to firms who want a straight answer about where AI belongs in their business — and where it doesn't.
Brooks Clifford — builder first, for twenty-five years
He started his first tech company at fifteen and has been building on the web since the 1990s. He studied AI and game theory at the University of Minnesota in 2003, long before it was a category. He has been building production AI systems since the week they became possible — and he did it while running money as a Registered Investment Advisor, which is why he is the rare technologist who will talk to you in payback periods instead of parameters.
A map of your business, ranked by payback.
- Every workflow in your firm, scored on what AI can actually do to it today
- Hours and dollars attached to each one — no hand-waving, no "efficiency gains"
- A ranked sequence: what to build first, second, and never
- Straight talk on what to buy, what to build, and what to leave alone
- Where AI is a confidentiality or compliance liability in your specific workflow
No platform to license. No seat fees. No sixty-slide deck of industry statistics you already know. If the honest answer for your firm is "not yet, and here's why" — Brooks will tell you that in the first thirty minutes, and it will be the most valuable thirty minutes anyone in AI has given you this year.
