Why Your Next Co-CEO Should Be AI

Imagine a trusted partner who never sleeps, has total recall of your business history, understands your team dynamics, and gives you a data-driven recommendation in seconds.

What's An AI Co-CEO?

An AI Co-CEO isn’t just a chatbot or a dashboard. It’s a living knowledge system trained on your leadership DNA, organizational data, and strategic goals. It mirrors your decision-making style while adding objectivity, speed, and analytical depth that human executives alone can’t match.

From financial forecasting to people decisions, the AI Co-CEO helps leaders bridge the gap between overwhelming data and timely, confident action.

“Dave’s workshop was hands-on and practical, not theory. Through live presentations, peer learning, and exercises, we learned how to use AI for everything from creating consistent brand messaging to scanning resumes for efficiency. The session covered the four cornerstones of business, revenue, talent, operations, and innovation, and gave us tools we could apply right away. It was a very worthwhile workshop, and we can’t wait to have Dave back again.”

"Working with Edge8 has been a pleasure. When I launched Fab Four Academy, I needed support to build a strong brand and digital presence. Dave and the team at Edge8 stepped in and not helped with the branding and digital presence, but showed us how to leverage AI to streamline our processes. With the help of Edge8 we have scaled from single posts to a full content engine while keeping true to our vision and voice. I am thrilled with the help they have provided."
