Get better with AI.
One-on-one coaching. What AI can do, how to work with it, where it fits your work. We build, over your shoulder or mine.
Book a coaching call →I'm Dan Rios. I help people and businesses put AI to work — coaching, setups, team training, or the whole system built for you. As far as you want to go.


Two questions sort it: are you here for you, or for your business — and do you want to learn it, or have it done?
One-on-one coaching. What AI can do, how to work with it, where it fits your work. We build, over your shoulder or mine.
Book a coaching call →Your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — configured around you, running the agents I use. Your subscriptions. You drive.
Book a setup call →Custom curriculum for your company — your tools, your use cases, your people actually using AI on real work.
Book a training call →AI employees, working in your business — leads answered, follow-up sent, reporting done. Runs even when you don't.
Book a build call →AI you drive, or AI that runs without you — every door starts with a call.
You've used ChatGPT. Now what?
There was no class. You're not behind — you're early. So I'm building the series: free, live, online — every session a first session on one thing, hands-on.
No dates yet, on purpose — I run the one the most people ask for first.
You already pay for ChatGPT or Claude — right now it's a smart intern with no idea what your business does. I turn it into a team of AI specialists, built around how you actually work, inside the tools you already use.
Think of it less like a tool you reach for, more like a colleague you train. Once you've shown it your business, your voice, the way you think, it stops giving generic answers and starts working like the teammate you wish you had. And when you want it deeper than a colleague — follow-up, intake, reporting, running without you — I build that too.

“I think you're the missing piece from us doing seven figures a month.”
05 / What it looks likeYou bring you — your inbox, your proposals, your week. That's the raw material. Four outcomes every client ends up with, in different mixes, on different timelines.
This is what better with AI actually looks like.
Will AI take some jobs? Yes.
Will it take all jobs? No.
The honest answer is the one nobody's saying: the workforce is already shrinking. Demographics, retirement, the cost of good talent — every owner I work with feels it. The ones winning the next decade aren't replacing their people. They're making the people they have exponentially more capable.
That's the leg up.
The owners who don't engage aren't going to disappear overnight. They're going to spend the next year watching competitors close deals faster, follow up tighter, ship campaigns sooner, and run leaner teams — and they won't be sure why.
AI literacy is the new digital literacy. Five years from now it's table stakes. Right now, it's the moat.
The window to build it is open. It won't be open forever.
No funnel, no drip sequence, no “strategy engagement.” Three steps, and the first one costs you thirty minutes.
30 minutes, no pitch. I map how you actually work — your week, your team, your numbers, what's eating your time.
What I'd do, which door it lives behind, and what I wouldn't build. If AI isn't the answer to your problem, I'll say so — and you keep the plan either way.
Then go as deep as you want. Every engagement can keep going — your AI keeps getting better as your work changes.
The business doors, opened all the way — the systems your business runs on, built in, not just used by you. Every engagement starts with a call; from there, four ways in.
I build the systems your business runs on — lead-routing, intake, reporting that updates itself, follow-up in your voice. The whole operating layer, done for you. You get the keys and a walkthrough.
Scoped on the call.Custom curriculum for your company — built around your tools and your use cases, delivered live. Your team walks out using AI on real work, not watching a slideshow about it.
Scoped on the call.I run your AI function — a Chief AI Officer without the hire. Strategy, new builds, tuning what's live, and keeping you ahead as the business and the models change.
Scoped on the call.Equity or revenue share — I'm in the room on the strategic calls, not just the integration tickets. For founders who want me with skin in the game. Selective; a few at a time.
Scoped on the call.The things people want to know before they book — answered the way I'd answer them on the call.
The money and the time
It depends on how deep you go — and you'll know the number on the call, before anything starts. No surprise invoices, no retainer creep. And if I think I'm the wrong spend for where you are, I'll tell you that too.
Less than the problem is already costing you. Coaching is an hour at a time. A setup is mostly my work — you show up to hand me context and learn to drive it. Team training is a working session, not an offsite. And the whole point of a build is your time back.
Usually one AI subscription — twenty to thirty dollars a month, and there's a good chance you already pay for it. I'll tell you which one fits, and just as important, which tools not to buy. I don't sell software, and no vendor pays me.
First session. We start light and ship something working the same day — a draft in your voice, a brief that reads like you wrote it, a follow-up that actually went out. If nothing is visibly better in the first week, we're doing it wrong.
Will this work for me?
You're exactly who this is for. The whole point of this generation of AI is that it works in plain English — if you can explain your business to a person, you can run it. The technical part is my job.
Because out of the box it's a smart intern with amnesia — it doesn't know your business, your voice, or your week. Everything I do is fixing exactly that: context, configuration, and a standing job so it's working before you ask. Once it knows your work, it stops being a toy.
The one that fits how you work. I use all three every day and none of them pays me. That's usually the first question we settle, and you'll leave the call with a straight answer.
No. Half of this work is personal — your writing, your research, your week, whatever's next for you. If you're between chapters, the first door is built for exactly that.
Yes — regulated is where this shines, because accuracy and audit trails stop being optional and start being the spec. I work with insurance and other compliance-heavy operators; anything that touches a rule keeps a human sign-off, by design.
Trust
Right question. Everything gets set up in your accounts, on business-tier settings, and I'll show you exactly what each tool keeps and what it doesn't. Nothing of yours lives on my laptop — and if you want an NDA signed first, I'll sign it before we talk shop.
The opposite. The owners winning the next decade aren't cutting their teams — they're making the people they have far more capable. AI takes the busy work; your people keep the judgment calls. Nobody on your staff needs to fear this.
An agency sells you a team, a deck, and a timeline. You get me — someone who has owned businesses, run franchises, and built the systems for years before AI was the headline. As one client put it: an agency quoted him twenty grand and three months; we built it together in a session.
Never. Everything I set up, I document — in your accounts, in plain language, owned by you. If we part ways, it all keeps working Monday morning.
How it works
Thirty minutes. You talk about your work, I ask questions, and I tell you what I'd do — including whether AI even belongs in the problem you're solving. No pitch, no deck. If we're not a fit, you still leave with a plan you didn't have an hour ago.
No. Nothing here is recorded lessons or a portal you'll never log into. Everything is live — me and you, or me and your team, working on your real business.
The workshop
There's no schedule — on purpose. The whole series is open for waitlists at once, and the session that fills first is the one that gets a date. Its list hears before anyone else. Join the waitlist →
