About
Hi, I'm Rod
I run a real business on AI, and I show other companies how to do the same.
Where I started
I started in data science at American Express. Then I built a couple of startups and spent time teaching data science. Today I run Prentus, an AI company in higher education.
Why I build my own AI helpers
I never wanted to depend on investors. I have always competed with bigger, better funded companies. So I asked a simple question. How do you grow without investors, and without waiting years to hire hundreds of people? My answer was AI helpers. I learned AI by testing everything on my own business first.
How Prentus runs now
AI does most of the daily work at Prentus. I work across sales, support, marketing, engineering, finance and leadership. Each weekday morning, AI lists every follow-up I owe, with the reply already drafted. It answers 95% of support questions with no person needed. Every morning it posts a short summary of what the team finished. It also keeps our company brain, one shared memory that every tool and every person's AI reads.
Why you can trust what I recommend
I follow every new AI tool and tell you which ones are worth your time. I do not use AI for its own sake. I use it to grow a real business, so anything I recommend has already worked for me.
Your Data Worth is a separate project of mine.
