I build the AI your team actually needs.

Not another AI strategy deck. I install working systems, train your team to use them, and leave you with infrastructure that runs after I walk out the door. In person. Hands on. No hype.

Claude Code Setup

Your AI Chief of Staff

I sit down at your machine, install Claude Code, and show you how to use it for task management, research, writing, and scheduling. You leave the session with it working.

AI Agent Infrastructure

Systems that actually run

Custom agent architectures wired into the tools you already use. Automated workflows with measurable ROI — not a proof of concept that gathers dust.

Team Training & Workshops

Hands-on, in person

Small-group sessions for your team. Bring your laptops, leave with working AI setups. Indiana grant reimbursement available.

Not a consultant.
A builder.

I'm Jake Schlegel -- lead web engineer at Adaptive Security, a $145M+ funded startup where I build AI-powered products every day. Not in theory. In production.

I went from zero coding experience to lead engineer in four years -- largely by figuring out how to use AI tools before everyone else. Now I run Claude Camp, a weekly internal training program that teaches non-technical teams how to use AI for real work.

I also built JakeOS-- a personal AI operating system that manages my tasks, research, communications, and knowledge base through Claude Code and custom MCP servers. It's not a demo. I use it every day.

Based in Indianapolis. I work in person because AI adoption doesn't happen over Zoom.
