Answers before you bring an advisor into your business

We match you with an expert advisor who has already done what you’re trying to do with AI. You meet on video and work on your actual projects together: the prompts, the tools, the automations, the checks. One hour at a time, on what you’re actually working on.

It’s for people who run a business and want AI doing real work in it: answering inquiries, following up on quotes, chasing invoices, clearing the admin off your plate. You don’t need to be technical, and you don’t need to have used AI much yet. Your advisor starts where you are. It’s probably not for you if you want the work done for you and handed over. We build things with you, so you can run them.

No. There’s no curriculum, no modules, nothing to graduate from. You do your own work with an expert beside you, and the learning comes the way it does in an apprenticeship: real work, next to someone who knows how.

A freelancer does the work and takes the knowledge with them when they leave. Your advisor builds with you, in your tools, so what’s left behind is a working setup and a person who can run it: you. You also skip the sourcing and the vetting. We’ve already done both.

If you have that person, you know the limits. They’re busy, it isn’t their job, and you can only ask so often. When you run the business, there is often nobody to ask at all. Your advisor’s whole job is you, and they keep up as the tools change so you don’t have to.

Senior practitioners who build with AI every day: people who have shipped the products, run the teams, and solved the class of problem you’re facing. We recruit the go-to person everyone already asks about AI, and we screen on real work, never on a resume. The network spans AI experts representing a wide range of industries like professional services, insurance, home services, construction, real estate, logistics and more.

Start a conversation with Ahead Assistant. It asks a few quick questions about your business and what you want AI to help with, and books your free strategy call. On the call, we go deeper, then we match you with the advisor whose experience fits. If the right advisor isn’t in the network yet, you go on the waitlist and hear first when they join.

Tell us. Fit matters more than anything else here, and we would rather rematch you than have you push through a mismatch. We’ll pair you with a different advisor. Rematching is free and your price doesn’t change.

If you're the go-to person everyone asks about AI, you're who we recruit. Advisors are senior practitioners who build with AI every day, and we screen on real work, never on a resume. In return you get paid, recurring sessions with members matched to your discipline: no sourcing, no selling, no chasing invoices. Apply to become an Ahead advisor.

A short video call with Ahead, before you meet your advisor. You join it from your conversation with Ahead. We talk through your business, the tools you use and what you want AI to help with, and we ask enough to match you well. The call is recorded so we can prepare your match. If the time no longer works, you can change it or cancel from your conversation with Ahead. Nothing is charged for it.

Yes, and you don’t need a card to book it. After the call, we match you with an advisor and you choose how often to meet. Nothing is charged until you book your first session with them. If the right advisor isn’t in the network yet, or you decide not to go ahead, you’re never charged.

Book your free strategy call and we take it from there. If the right advisor is in the network, you’re matched and your first session goes on the calendar. If not, you’re on the waitlist, you hear first, and you’re never charged while you wait.

One hour, on video, in your tools, on something real. Some members use it to find where AI could take work off their plate. Some bring a setup that isn’t holding up. Some build something new, live, in the hour. Afterwards your advisor writes it up: what you worked on, what you built, what’s next. It’s all logged in the Ahead platform, and everything you build stays in your tools. It’s yours.

Yes. We work in the tools and accounts you already have, whichever they are, and everything you build stays there. If you’re deciding what to use or what to stop paying for, that’s a fine thing to bring to a session.

You choose weekly or every-other-week sessions, on video from anywhere. Between sessions, you can message your advisor directly, so a Tuesday problem doesn’t have to wait for the next session.

Whenever you and your advisor’s calendars line up. Your advisor keeps real availability on the platform, you book directly from it, and every time slot you see is already in your own time zone, wherever the two of you are. You can book up to three months ahead, so travel or a busy stretch doesn’t break your rhythm. And if the times never line up, that’s a fit problem: tell us and we’ll rematch you.

No. The membership is a cadence, weekly or every other week, and it works because the hour is standing. If a week gets away from you, reschedule the session rather than letting it lapse. The one exception: if your advisor ever has to cancel on you, that session comes back to you as a credit.

Move it. You can reschedule any session on the platform with at least 24 hours’ notice, free. Inside 24 hours, or if you don’t show up, the session counts as used and your advisor is still paid, because they held that hour for you. If something unavoidable happens, tell us and we’ll look at it.

Yes. Your advisor works with you through Ahead only, so what you share stays between you, your advisor and Ahead. Sessions are recorded so your advisor can write up what you worked on; recordings are never sold, and you can ask us to delete any of them. Everything you build stays in your tools, under your own accounts.

You get the session back. If your advisor cancels, whatever the notice, it never counts against your plan: the session returns to you as a credit and you rebook it. And if your advisor ever leaves Ahead, everything you built together stays in your record, we match you with a new advisor, and your price doesn’t change.

Membership is a flat monthly price, set by how often you meet: $650 a month for weekly, or $390 a month for every other week. Both include the same advisor, the same record and the same access. You can pay monthly, or prepay quarterly and save 10%. You see the full price before you enter a card, and nothing is charged until you book your first session. Learn more about our pricing here.

Yes, anytime, with no fee. If you pay monthly, your sessions run through the month you’ve paid for. If you prepaid a quarter, they run through that quarter. You keep every session you’ve paid for, and you’re never charged again after you cancel.

We don’t do pauses, and the alternative is better than it sounds. You can cancel anytime, your sessions run through what you’ve already paid for, and your record stays with Ahead the whole time. Come back whenever you’re ready and you pick up right where you left off.
