Why AI. Why now.
When I first started using AI tools seriously, I went looking for resources built for companies like the ones I'd worked in. Service companies with 200 employees and 12 locations. Equipment manufacturers running three shifts with an ERP system from 2014. Companies where “digital transformation” meant someone finally moved the job tracker out of Excel.
I found almost nothing. The AI content out there is written for tech companies, SaaS startups, and enterprise organizations with dedicated data science teams.Nobody was writing for the ops manager who dispatches frac crews, the manufacturing VP who approves capital for a new CNC cell, or the owner of a $40M service company who knows AI matters but has zero idea where to start.
So I built it myself.
The background.
I'm Alex Sheehan. My career started in the field— completions work, pressure pumping operations, job sites where the day started before the sun came up and ended when the equipment was laid down. I moved into engineering — failure analysis, product development, designing tools that had to survive downhole conditions. Then into product management and executive leadership, where the problems shifted from “how do we make this work” to “how do we scale this across 15 locations without it breaking.”
I've been the person in the trailer at 5 AM. The engineer running root cause analyses after a tool failure. The VP presenting capital allocation to the board. Every stage taught me the same thing: industrial companies aredrowning in manual processes, tribal knowledge, and information that never makes it from the field to the office — or from one department to the next.
