Leadership
How do you talk about AI
We help leaders envision this future and then communicate it to their stakeholders.
Engagements
- AI Envisioning Sessions
- Leadership Workshops
- Competitive Analysis
With AI, the potential is obvious; the path is not. We help businesses develop a vision that resonates and projects that ship.

AI companion for survivors of narcissistic abuse
Survivors of narcissistic abuse and domestic violence face a brutal gap: they need immediate, judgment-free support at all hours, and they need clarity on legal options that most attorneys can’t profitably help them navigate. Banyan’s founder served as technical co-founder of Aimee Says, leading the architecture and product development of a freemium AI companion that closes both gaps — pairing an empathetic conversational chatbot with a toolset purpose-built for coping with abuse and pursuing legal outcomes.
The build spanned AI architecture, context engineering, agent design, supporting visualizations, and the full UI/UX — across a multi-model stack including Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and Llama.
Outcome Grew to self-sustaining revenue and established clear leadership in AI-enabled crisis support.
A hospitality operator wanted to move past AI hype and learn what generative AI could actually do for their properties. We designed and ran a ChatGPT-based pilot program targeting two fronts at once: automating the administrative load that pulls hotel and restaurant managers off the floor, and structured ideation on new customer experiences — the small, AI-enabled moments that surprise and delight a returning guest.
Outcome Managers reclaimed time from administrative work to spend with customers, and the operator left the pilot with a validated view of where AI investment would pay off next.
Agent-powered market intelligence for agriculture
Agricultural operations live or die on conditions outside their walls: weather, commodity markets, federal policy, global supply shocks. We built a forecasting tool that uses AI agents to continuously scan the internet for relevant developments, interpret each story through the lens of a specific company’s business model, and surface only what actually matters to that operator.
The platform integrates structured data from the USDA, NOAA, and other authoritative sources to power dashboards, and runs Monte Carlo simulations to model market conditions under a range of scenarios. Built with Claude and OpenAI.
Outcome A single view that combines agent-curated news interpretation with quantitative market forecasts — turning a flood of scattered signals into a clear read on what’s coming.
AI screening to help prevent human trafficking
Deceptive job offers are a primary recruiting tactic for human traffickers, and the warning signs are often subtle enough that vulnerable candidates miss them. SafeWork lets a job candidate submit an offer and receive an AI-generated review that flags red flags — suspicious language patterns, structural inconsistencies, and indicators that map to known trafficking schemes.
Built on AWS Bedrock and AWS Compute with Python, the system applies trafficking-prevention expertise at scale to candidates who would otherwise have no way to evaluate an offer on their own.
Outcome A direct line of defense for vulnerable job seekers against schemes that depend on victims not knowing what to look for.
Transformation requires both leadership and execution.

How do you accelerate adoption
We translate vision into systems that ship. Workshops to upskill teams, prototypes that prove the idea, and production builds when prototypes earn it.
Engagements
The winners of the AI era will be those who wield it, not those who cope with it. Incumbents who treat AI as a budget line will be outrun by competitors who treat it as strategy.
