Practical AI Advisory & Media

AI that gives you
your hours back.
In 30 days.

Most teams have already tried AI and almost nothing changed — the work stayed fragmented and nobody owned it after the pilot. We find the systems worth building, build them, and measure the result against the baseline we set in week one.

The Advisory Practice

The pilot worked.
Now what?

Most teams have run an AI experiment. A few have run three. Almost none have shipped something that survived long enough to matter — because the hard part is never the demo.

Where teams get stuck

01

No clear owner after the pilot

The vendor built it. The consultant left. Now it lives in a Notion doc and nobody's sure who maintains it.

02

Fragmented, costly workflows

Your team is doing in 4 steps what should take one. The repetitive work is expensive, error-prone, and no AI tool you've tried fits it neatly.

03

Tool sprawl, no system

You have ChatGPT, Make, Zapier, and three browser extensions. None talk to each other. You're buying outputs, not building capability.

Our promise

"We identify the systems worth building, implement them, support adoption, and measure the result. You own the work. We stay until it sticks."

JR

Josh Rosenthal

Founder, Edge of AI

Implementation-first — We measure success by what ships, not what slides.
Operator lens — We've been in the role. We know what breaks at 50 employees.
Vendor independence — We recommend what fits. We have no undisclosed affiliations.
You own everything — Code, systems, docs — yours from day one. No lock-in.

Client Work

Proof, not
promises.

A few of the systems we've built. We keep client names private — we'll share specifics and references on a call.

01
Web3 Growth Platform Affiliate & Investor Program
$1M+
investor pipeline built

We instrumented every outreach channel to find what actually converts, then built the growth engine from scratch — a documented investor pipeline exceeding $1M and a vetted affiliate network of 70+ partners, each qualified against defined criteria.

02
National Industry Conference Sponsor & Partner Generation
22 + 25
sponsors + media partners

AI-run outreach and partner generation delivered 22 sponsors and 25 media partners in a single year, beating the prior year's revenue goal and turning a one-off event into a repeatable long-term partnership model.

03
Robotics & Brand-Activation Company BD Function Built from Scratch
54
qualified leads vs a 50 target

We stood up a business-development function from nothing: defined the ICP, built the outreach system, and delivered 54 defensible qualified leads with 288 documented exclusions — and closed a pilot in the first two weeks.

Professional Services Firm Client Onboarding Automation
12→1
steps collapsed to a single trigger

A 22-person firm's new-client onboarding spanned 12 manual steps, three team handoffs, two spreadsheets, and a Slack coordination channel. We collapsed it to a single trigger: one submission, automated routing, and a documented audit trail every time.

Law Firm 18-Month Advisory Engagement
18mo
sustained engagement, one of the most selective US firms

A sustained 18-month engagement inside one of the most selective law firms in the country, advising on AI capability identification, vendor evaluation, and adoption strategy across practice groups.

If it helps

Edge Care

Optional · after Build

An optional ongoing partnership to operate, measure and extend what we built. From $1,800/mo — we scope the right level with you after the build is done.

Not every engagement needs one. We'll tell you honestly if yours does.

How we price — one fixed-fee audit, a build scoped to what it's worth, and an optional retainer only if you want it. No lock-in — you keep everything we build.

WHAT WE AUTOMATE

SYSTEMS, NOT PROMISES.

Eight categories of work we have built and run — on our own business first, then for clients. No generic capability claims; every proof line is a real number from a real run.

01 — OUTREACH

Outreach that runs itself, with manners

Sends land in each recipient's local morning, with pacing and daily caps enforced in code rather than policy. The system knows the difference between a quiet day and a broken one, and reschedules accordingly.

Proof: 430+ prospects managed this way, and 48 overdue sends automatically rescheduled rather than fired at 1am.

02 — INBOX MONITORING

Nothing falls through

Every outreach inbox watched continuously, real replies separated from autoresponders in any language, with hot ones alerted in minutes. The system does not sleep and does not miss context.

Proof: six inboxes on watch, and 37 replies recovered that nobody had been told about.

03 — CRM HYGIENE

Your CRM stops lying to you

Replies logged to the right row automatically, new contacts appended, duplicates caught before the write. The system runs after every send cycle so stale data never accumulates into a decision problem.

Proof: one run updated 31 rows, appended 29 missing contacts and blocked 27 duplicates.

04 — LEAD INTELLIGENCE

Know who is worth talking to

Audience discovery across X, TikTok, Instagram and Reddit, with real reach measured rather than claimed. Wrong-industry contacts caught before they enter the pipe, not after they waste a sales call.

Proof: 19,700 accounts screened to a 400-prospect shortlist, and 62 wrong-industry contacts caught that keyword search had missed.

05 — INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY

Memory that survives people leaving

One knowledge base holding decisions, reasoning and context that accumulates instead of resetting. When something breaks or someone leaves, the system re-orients from its own records rather than starting a re-briefing conversation.

Proof: four months continuous, and a four-day outage recovered without a human re-briefing it.

06 — INTERNAL TOOLING

The internal tool you were told needed developers

Client sites, internal apps and demos built without a dev team, then independently audited. The output is production-quality — not a prototype someone has to redo when the business grows.

Proof: a client site independently scored 92.5 out of 100, up from 85 after a second pass.

07 — CHANNEL OPERATIONS

Channel operations at scale

Triage and routing across many group channels with per-group rules, plus standing nudges and digests that go to the right room only. One identity, consistent behavior, no manual forwarding.

Proof: one identity operating across nine team forums, Telegram, Lark, WhatsApp and a web console.

08 — REPORTING

Reporting nobody assembles by hand

Recurring reports pulled from live systems, response rates broken down by channel and segment, weak performers named rather than averaged away. The report runs on a schedule; the insight is already in it when you open it.

Proof: 47 standing jobs, and a three-channel comparison showing 23.1% versus 2.5% reply rates with the weak segments named.

Every number on this page came from running these systems on our own business first.

Joshua Kriger

Principal · Advisory

Joshua leads Edge AI Advisory. He co-founded The Edge of Company — a media, events and advisory network — and built the commercial relationships that underpin it: a government-adjacent association where his team generated 22 sponsors and 25 media partners in a single year; an 18-month engagement inside one of the most selective law firms in the US; and a humanoid robotics company where he built the BD function from nothing. He also sits on the investor side of the table — the advice is commercial before it is technical.

Audrey Pichy

Principal · Delivery

Audrey leads client service at Edge AI Advisory. She defined what the practice actually sells — who the right client is, what is in scope, and how success gets measured. Operationally she owns the spine of every engagement: access, systems, documents, and the single source of truth that client and team both work from. She would rather flag a problem early than present a clean report late.

Behind the two principals is a team that has already built this at scale, in-house — content, partnerships, design, video, and outreach operations. The cap exists so the principals stay in every engagement, not just the kickoff.

The advisory practice exists because operators kept asking the same question after every conversation: how do we actually do this? We stopped answering it for free.
