Steve Cunningham

I was a lawyer for one week. I read a book a day for a decade. I ran a marketing agency for ten years. My entire career has been in professional services, in the weeds, doing the work.

Then AI disrupted my business.

I didn't debate whether it was useful. I started using it. I embedded AI into our operations, figured out what worked, and started teaching other consultants how to do the same. Over the past two and a half years, we've trained hundreds of companies, deployed thousands of AI use cases, and delivered millions of dollars in documented productivity gains.

While most people are arguing on the internet about whether AI is ready for serious work, we are heads down doing the work. This website is where I explore what I'm learning along the way.

I run three AI brands: AIROI Association (B2C), Simple Academy (B2B), and SteveCunningham.ai (personal).

Four Focus Areas

I'm irrationally obsessed with how AI is going to change the future of work. I track every capability crossing viability thresholds. I map how those capabilities cascade through industries, companies, roles, and individual careers.

The predictions I made in 2023 are becoming reality now. The things I'm seeing today will be obvious by 2027.

01

Human+Agent Economy

The big picture. Where this is going over the next 1-3 years.

02

Human+Agent Company

How that vision impacts how companies will operate.

03

Human+Agent Champion

The skills that create unfireable positions inside those companies.

04

Human+AI Consultant

How consultants will serve those champions and companies.

Two Ways to Work With Me

Weekly Office Hours

Three times per month, one hour each. Ask me anything about what you're building, where you're stuck, or what you're seeing in your own work.

Small group sessions with peers operating at the same level. You get my real-time thinking on the problems you're actually facing, before those insights make it into books, events, or public content.

This is where the work happens. Active application with direct guidance.
