From tools for beginners
To a post-scarcity world
Level 1
The free chatbot for business.
Whether you’re a startup looking for the best tools to streamline your operations or an established company seeking to innovate with the latest technology, OpenCTO provides tailored recommendations that align with your specific needs and goals.
Level 2
The AI agent for business
To go up another gear, you need an agent. Something that doesn’t just wait for you to ask questions – it’s proactive, integrating itself with your existing systems, and going out into the world to find the best emerging technologies to integrate into your stack.
Level 3
The Works.
OpenCTO concierge is the ultimate white-glove done-for-you tech service.
You get a high-level technology expert as your single point of contact, plus a full-time human operator to work the AI tools that will build the next generation of your business.
Compute power has been doubling every year or two for decades, and the economy could have been growing just as fast. It hasn’t been, because humans have been the bottleneck. AI can now move humans from being the bottleneck, to being the objective-setters that direct an exponential economy, telling it what to make for us, as we leave our status of cogs in machines behind, and become humans in the most actualised form.
This is our future in post-scarcity.
Tees Valley AI will endeavour to push this process forward, and your participation can accelerate that transition, for yourself and for everyone else. Our first -project on that path is OpenCTO.
