Put AI to work with a plan

A Fractional Chief AI Officer sets your AI strategy, chooses the right AI providers and models, designs your AI agents and automations, and keeps your owners informed, part-time and on a schedule that fits.

  • Often about 20% of a workday back
  • AI providers and models chosen for you
  • AI governance and reporting

Your owners want a plan before they invest

Your Hawaii team may already be using AI, and your owners want to know where it pays off before they invest.

Every AI decision made without a plan can waste money or put health, financial or client data at risk.

Where does AI pay off in your business?

Your CAIO finds where AI pays off most in your business and puts it in priority order.

  • AI providers, models and plans that fit
  • AI agents and automations designed to match
  • Solutions our team can build, often on TruerunEngine Cloud

Clients often get back about 20% of an employee’s workday once AI agents take on routine tasks.

Questions we hear a lot

What does a Fractional Chief AI Officer do?
A Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) is a part-time executive who leads a business’s AI. ITHawaii.AI’s Fractional CAIO sets your AI strategy and roadmap, chooses AI providers and models, designs your AI agents and automations, owns your AI governance, and measures and reports the results.
When should a business hire a Fractional Chief AI Officer?
Common reasons include staff using AI tools without a plan, owners who want an AI strategy before they invest, and health, financial or client data that raises the stakes.
How is a Fractional CAIO different from a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CAIO leads everything AI, from strategy, providers and models to AI agents, automations, governance and results. A Fractional CTO covers the rest of your technology, such as platform selection, technical due diligence, and software and automation architecture.
Will you build the AI solutions?
Our team can build them, often on TruerunEngine Cloud. If another builder is a better fit, we’ll recommend them.
How often does a Fractional CAIO meet with us?
Semi-annually, quarterly or monthly, depending on your plan. Our Fractional Chief AI Officer services are offered statewide to businesses with 10 or more employees and work alongside your current IT provider or in-house team.
