Managed AI Support & Retainers

Dedicated Strategist / Account Ownership

This is a named person accountable for your outcomes, not a rotating cast of support reps who each know a fifth of your account, and not a ticket queue where accountability disappears. Your strategist knows your systems, your business goals, and your history well enough to flag a risk before you notice it, or suggest an automation opportunity that actually fits your priorities rather than a generic upsell. It exists because AI retainers tend to decay into pure ticket resolution once the initial excitement fades, and clients lose the thread of why the systems exist and where they should go next. You get one relationship to call, one person who remembers the context, and someone whose job explicitly includes thinking ahead on your behalf, not just responding to what breaks.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Diagnose your business priorities and current AI footprint to match you with a strategist suited to the account's scope
2
Pilot the relationship through a defined onboarding period so the strategist builds real context on your systems and goals
3
Review cadence and communication preferences directly with you, adjusting how and how often you hear from them
4
Operate as your standing point of contact, proactively flagging risks and opportunities rather than waiting on tickets
