AIX · AI Academy

Build a practical AI plan around the calls, coaching, follow-up, and systems already inside your shop.

Format
1 day · Houston · 40 seats

AIX is a working day for owners who want useful leverage from AI while keeping the shop out of software-project mode. The class shows how the Adams environment connects Tekmetric, Rilla, WickedFile, NetSuite, and 212 Payments, then brings the discussion back to the workflows an independent shop can improve now. The objective is a prioritized operating plan grounded in the team and technology you already have.

Who it is for

Owners and operators who want a grounded AI plan tied to daily shop operations, team adoption, and measurable work. Tekmetric users will recognize the deepest set of examples.
