About

I'm Troy Carr.

I help business owners and nonprofits get real work out of AI. I organize what you know so AI can use it, build the agents, and teach your people to run them. Here's who you'd be working with.

Where I come from

People are not the worst thing they've done.

I'm formerly incarcerated and formerly homeless, and recovery is part of my story. I came home with no degree, no money, and a record that closed most doors before I got to them. So I started where I could: a halfway house, sober living, treatment. One honest day at a time.

Then I spent about ten years in direct service across Wisconsin, from a halfway house to treatment centers, jails and prisons. Alongside it I put in fifteen years in manufacturing and operations: production floors, root-cause work, training to the ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt standard.

Then I taught myself to build software and AI. Nobody was going to hand me permission, so I quit waiting for it. I ran my own business on it first. Now I set it up for other people.

How I work

Truth over polish.

I tell you the truth

If I can't help you, I say so before you spend a dollar.

You get something that runs

Not a deck. Not a roadmap. A working system, written down, and yours.

I pick up the phone

Clients turn into people I worry about. I answer when it would be easier not to.
