The Chief AI Officer learns your company from your own assessments, shapes guidance to your industry, region and size and sets your results against sourced best practice. Published research is labelled as such, peer comparisons appear only when they are fair, and its knowledge is refreshed every quarter. It recommends, and you choose the moves. ## How it works 1. **Take the assessments** (Whenever your people are ready): Your leaders, department heads and people answer short readiness assessments on how your company uses AI today. 2. **Your company brain takes shape** (After each assessment): Their answers become your company brain: a clear picture of where you stand, refreshed after each assessment and each quarter. 3. **Compare with best practice** (Once your brain is built): Your results are set against proven best practice and fair, sourced benchmarks for companies like yours. 4. **Ask your Chief AI Officer** (Whenever you want to know what is next): Ask what to do next, why a gap matters or how others handle it. Answers draw on your own company brain and its knowledge. 5. **You choose the moves** (you approve) (Before anything changes): It recommends and explains. You decide which changes your company takes on, and when. ## When to use it - **Your leadership team wants to know where it stands on AI:** The leadership assessment shows strengths and gaps against best practice, with the next steps that matter most. - **A department head asks what good looks like:** They get the best practices for their department, with maturity levels that show where they are and what comes next. - **You want to know how you compare:** You see sourced benchmarks, clearly labelled, with peer comparisons only where enough companies make them fair. - **A new quarter starts:** Your company brain and the guidance behind it are refreshed, so you can see what changed and what to focus on now. - **A team member wants to get better with AI:** Personal tips meet them where they are, based on their own answers, not a generic course. ## What you get - A company brain that updates with each assessment and each quarter - Best practices for each department, with maturity levels - Leadership guidance and personal tips for your people - Sourced benchmarks, labelled by where they came from - Answers in chat, tuned to your industry, region and size - Quarterly refreshed questions and guidance ## Example: quarterly AI direction brief Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Where are we with AI across the business, what should we focus on next quarter, and what do you need us to decide? This is an illustrative example of the quarterly brief Chief AI Officer is being built to produce: readiness by department, best practices to adopt, a summary of the company brain and a 90-day plan. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented insurance brokerage, with invented assessments, scores and research items. No real systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent or changed. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - Overall AI maturity rose from 2.0 to 2.4 out of 5 this quarter, with 58 of 120 best practices now in place across five departments. - Claims support is the clear gap at 1.9, so the first move targets cutting document re-keying from 9 to under 3 hours a week. - Six practices are recommended next, lifting maturity to about 2.8; three outside research items await leadership approval before entering the company brain. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Chief AI Officer is ready for your account. - In chat it can read only your own company brain and its knowledge base. It cannot change your systems or see another company's data. - It never invents a figure. Published research is labelled as published research, and its own views are labelled as its own. - New outside research is only a candidate until it has been reviewed and approved. Nothing from a website changes its advice by itself. - It advises. Decisions about what your company changes stay with you. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a fractional chief AI officer?
