I help CEOs at tech and tech-enabled companies build AI capability, from diagnosis to handoff. Without pulling your devs off your roadmap.
60-min call. You get a written assessment and a plan.
What are competitors doing?
You read every announcement. Half is theater, half is real. You can't tell which. Your board thinks competitors are ahead.
Are we losing deals to competitors with AI in their product?
Sales says yes. Marketing says it's the demo. You don't know what to believe. Your win rate is sliding either way.
Why aren't we shipping AI features faster?
Engineering has reasons. Good ones. Your board doesn't want reasons. They want to see features ship.
What's your AI investment getting us?
You can list what you're spending. Copilot, API bills, the AI hire. You can't list what's coming back.
"We know we need an AI answer. We don't have the bandwidth to figure out what."
That's what this is for. I do the discovery, the design, and the build. Your team stays focused on shipping the product.
"My engineering team has it on the roadmap."
They will. After the customer requests, after the bug backlog, after the next release. That's why this hasn't moved.
"We rolled out Copilot. We're good."
Tools are seats. Capability is workflows running on them. Most companies stop at the seats.
I sit with your exec team and map your company against a 5-level AI maturity model. You walk out with a written assessment and a plan to get to the next level.
I drive the work to get you to the next level. Training, workflows, governance. Built alongside your team so they keep running it after I'm gone.
Your champion gets the playbook, the documentation, and the access. They run it. I step out.
I've been writing software since 2001. I run Uncog alongside a SaaS today. When you hire Uncog, you get me from diagnosis to handoff. Built so your team keeps it running after I'm gone.
"Kareem makes it very easy for a non-tech founder to have real-life business conversations and convert them into technical specifications."
"Most valuable is your experience with what not to do as well as what to do. Start with the bare bones and build from there."
"Anybody that's ever asked me about working with you, I would have absolutely no hesitancy in saying that's the guy for you."
You run a tech or tech-enabled company.
You have 100+ employees.
Your board is asking about AI but you don't have a great story yet.
Your CTO knows AI matters but they're heads-down on the roadmap.
60 minutes. You get a written AI maturity assessment and a plan to move up the ladder.
