Hey there,

If you're leading a business that hasn't fully adopted AI yet - or is just starting to explore it - you're not behind. You're right on time.

AI is changing how companies grow, operate, and compete. But for most teams, the challenge is knowing where to start, what actually matters, and how to implement AI in a way that supports real work instead of creating complexity.

The opportunity is clear: smarter systems, faster execution, less manual effort, and more leverage across recruiting, sales, marketing, and operations. The risk comes from jumping in without structure - testing tools in isolation, automating broken workflows, or expecting AI to deliver results without the right foundation.

That's why I built Active with AI.

We help companies introduce AI thoughtfully - by designing and implementing AI-powered systems and growth engines that fit the business you have today and scale with the one you're building. From first AI initiatives to intelligent workflows and automation across teams, we focus on practical execution, not experimentation.

You don't need an internal team to get started. You need a clear plan, the right systems, and a partner who can guide the implementation from idea to impact - without overwhelming your organization.

If you're ready to take AI seriously and build with intention, aligning systems and people with confidence, you're in the right place.

FAQs

What if I hired a full-time Talent Sourcer?

A full-time senior-level Talent Sourcer typically costs $100,000, not including bonus and benefits. You may not have "full-time" work to keep them busy year-round, and will have to pay even if they aren't being utilized.

Our flexible monthly subscription plan gives you the ability to pause and resume when needed, so you only pay for your Talent Sourcer when you have project needs.

->

How many projects can I have?

With our monthly subscription, you can add as many projects to your queue as you'd like. We will deliver them one by one.

->

How fast will I receive my solutions and services?

Most projects are completed in just 1-2 business days or less, Monday through Friday. However, more complex projects can take longer.

->

How does "pause" of a subscription work?

If you don't have enough projects or work to take up a whole month, you have the ability to pause your subscription.

Billing cycles are based on 31 days. For example, if you sign up and use the service for 24 days, and then pause your subscription, you'll have 7 days of service remaining to be used anytime in the future. All you need to do is unpause and continue.

->

What tools do you use for your projects?

We utilize a wide range of AI, search engines, paid databases, social media, news sites and niche communities.

This includes LinkedIn, Google, ChatGPT-4, Crunchbase, Pitchbook, BoardEx, CapitalIQ, Ahrefs, JungleScout, Lusha, Swordfish, Hunter, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Similarweb, Google Trends, Wikipedia, Builtwith, Github, Zapier, Clay, Data Miner, Jasper and 100's more.

->

How do I request projects and collaborate?

aHeist uses Basecamp, an online collaboration tool for project management, and to house all project work completed. We also schedule live video call check-ins weekly for extra hands-on feedback.

->

What if I only have one project?

You can pause your subscription when the project is completed, and unpause when you have additional needs.

->

What is the cost difference versus using a big agency?

Big agencies will typically charge you anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 on the low end, to upwards of $100,000+ for the exact same services.
