Fractional Chief AI Officer Leadership
Build the AI capability your business will run on.
Not a tool you rent. Not a workshop everybody forgets. Ninety days from now, every person on your team is proficient with AI for their actual job, the work behind them is automated, and the capability lives in-house. Yours to keep. Yours to expand.
For ambitious solopreneurs and growing teams that intend to get ahead in the AI era.
- An assistant for everyoneEvery employee gets a working AI assistant in 30 days.
- Automated where you workWorkflows automated inside the systems you already use.
- Your fractional Chief AI OfficerWe stay on after the install, as long as you want us.
“Among employees already using AI at work, nearly 7 in 10 are just experimenting with it on their own. Fewer than 1 in 5 have had any formal training.”
The Access Group / YouGov, 2026
That's the gap we close. Not another tool on the pile. A team that's actually proficient with AI, and an operation that runs faster because of it.
We install AI capability. We don't sell AI tools.
There's a difference, and it's the whole game.
Most teams have tried ChatGPT. Most teams gave up on it. Not because the tools are bad, because nobody taught them how to work with AI for their job. The training was generic. The use cases were somebody else's.
We come in for 90 days. By the end, every person on your team is proficient with AI for their actual job: a personal assistant scoped to their role, workflows automated end to end, AI connected to the systems they already work in, and the muscle to keep building after we leave.
You don't end up with a vendor. You end up with a team that runs differently.
How it actually goes.
Personal AI assistant, every employee
We start with a deep audit of how each person on your team actually works. Then we build them a personal AI assistant scoped to their role, not a generic chatbot. By the end of month 1, every person has a working assistant they use daily.
Skills and challenges
Your team works through structured challenges that teach them to extend their own assistant. Every challenge ends with a new skill the employee built themselves. The point isn't the skills. The point is they learn how to build them.
Custom software
Now your team can build the software your business actually needs, internal systems, automations, integrations, in plain English. Custom software, built by the people who do the work, for the work they do.
After month 3: keep us on as your fractional Chief AI Officer, a monthly cadence that keeps extending what's been built. Or wrap and own what you've got. Your call.
Every task in your business is one of four things.
Sort them, and you know what to hand to AI, and what to protect.
Abandon
Work nobody actually needs. Stop doing it. Nobody notices.
Automate
Work AI runs end-to-end. Your team owns it.
Augment
AI does the lift. Your team brings the judgment.
Keep human
Hard calls. Trust. Presence. We protect them.
We do the sorting with your team in week one. The plan writes itself from there.
What you walk away with.
An AI-proficient team
Every role on your team thinks with AI, for their actual job, not a generic demo.
Custom software, owned
Assistants, automations, and internal software built for your business. Yours to keep, modify, and extend.
A team that keeps building
The biggest outcome isn't what we leave behind. It's that your people build more after we leave than during the engagement itself.
The Impact AI team.
Malachi Klassen, Founder
Manitoba, Canada
“Impact AI installs AI capability inside companies. Not tools. Not training. Capability, the kind that compounds, gets owned by the team, and keeps producing value years after we're done. We start with an install. We stay as long as you want us to.”
Who this is built for.
We're upfront about who we're for. Saves everyone a call.
Built for
- Owners and leaders who see AI as labor, not software
- Teams of 5+ that work on a computer
- Leaders investing in capability, not just tools
- Companies ready to give their team real time to learn
Not for
- Solo operators with no team
- Owners looking for AI to replace headcount
- Teams unwilling to engage in the work
- Anyone expecting outcomes without effort

Book a discovery callCommon questions.
Will this replace my team?
No. The engagement is built around sorting work into four buckets: abandon, automate, augment, and keep human. AI only ever takes the first two. Judgment, trust, and hard calls stay with your people. The goal is a smaller pile of busy work, not a smaller team.
We tried ChatGPT and it didn’t stick. Why is this different?
Because access isn’t proficiency. Most teams that try AI get a login and a generic demo. Nearly 7 in 10 employees already using AI at work are just experimenting on their own, with no formal training behind it. We spend 90 days building proficiency around each person’s actual role, their workflows, their systems, their daily work, until working with AI is just how they operate. That’s the difference between handing someone a chatbot and installing a capability.
Do we need technical people on our team?
No, that’s the point. Everything we build is created and extended in plain English, by the people already doing the work, not by a developer on your payroll.
How much does this cost?
Pricing is scoped to your team size and starting point, so it’s not a one-size number. Book a discovery call and we’ll give you a clear quote before you commit to anything.
How long does the engagement run?
The core install runs 90 days. After that, you can move to an ongoing monthly cadence to keep extending what’s been built, or wrap the engagement and own everything outright. That decision is entirely yours.
Is this in-person or remote?
We work with teams across Canada and the US, in person or remote depending on what fits your team best.
What happens after the 90 days?
You choose: keep us on as your fractional Chief AI Officer, a monthly cadence that keeps extending what your team has built, or wrap the engagement and own everything outright, with no ongoing commitment.
Do you act as our fractional Chief AI Officer?
Yes. That’s the role we play after the install: we own your AI roadmap, run the monthly cadence, and keep your team’s proficiency compounding as the technology moves. The AI leadership of a full-time executive, without the full-time hire.
What does AI-native actually mean?
An AI-native company is one where every person is proficient with AI for their actual job, workflows automated, AI connected to the systems the business already runs on. Judgment and hard calls still sit with people, and the capability keeps compounding after any outside team leaves. The opposite of a company that’s simply bought some AI software.
What industries do you work with?
Any team of 5 or more that works primarily on computers, where a leader is ready to invest real time in building capability rather than just buying tools.
