Use AI to remove friction, not add complexity.
Most companies don’t fail at AI because the technology doesn’t work.
They fail because AI gets layered on top of broken processes.
Tools get added.
Workflows get more complicated.
Teams get confused.
Nothing actually feels easier.
AI Adoption & Automations fixes that by designing and implementing AI intentionally, around how your business already operates, so automation reduces work, improves consistency, and scales execution without chaos.
This service is delivered through Ryan Gartrell, P.A. and Angry Shrimp Media, led by Ryan Gartrell, and designed for companies of any size and industry — from service businesses to B2B, product, and multi-team organizations.
The Real Problem With Most AI Initiatives
AI doesn’t usually fail loudly.
It fails quietly.
Common patterns include:
- Tools adopted without clear use cases
- Automation that doesn’t match real workflows
- Teams reverting to manual work
- AI outputs no one trusts or uses
- Increased complexity instead of efficiency
The issue isn’t AI capability.
It’s lack of operational alignment.
What AI Adoption & Automations Actually Does
This is not “AI experimentation” or tool demos.
It’s structured AI adoption designed to support real execution.
That includes:
- Identifying high-leverage workflows worth automating
- Designing AI-enabled processes that fit existing operations
- Implementing automation where it removes real human effort
- Creating guardrails so AI supports decisions instead of replacing judgment
- Training teams to actually use and trust AI tools
- Ensuring AI improves speed, accuracy, and consistency
The focus is always practical value, not novelty.
How This Work Is Approached
Ryan applies AI through a Lean AI® mindset, meaning automation only happens after the underlying process makes sense.
That means:
- No automating chaos
- No replacing people with black-box tools
- No AI systems that only one person understands
AI is introduced where it:
- Reduces repetitive work
- Improves visibility and reporting
- Supports faster, better decisions
- Scales output without scaling headcount
The result is AI that quietly works in the background.
Who This Is For
AI Adoption & Automations is a strong fit if:
- Manual processes are slowing growth
- Teams spend too much time on repetitive work
- Data exists but isn’t usable
- AI tools feel confusing or underutilized
- You want leverage without operational risk
This applies to:
- Service businesses
- B2B organizations
- Product and technology companies
- Operations-heavy or data-heavy teams
If you’re looking to “use AI everywhere” without structure, this is not the right approach.
What Changes After AI Is Implemented Correctly
Most organizations notice:
- Less manual effort across teams
- Faster turnaround on routine work
- More consistent execution
- Better use of data for decisions
- Reduced dependency on individual knowledge holders
AI becomes a support system, not a distraction.
Where This Fits in the Bigger Picture
AI Adoption & Automations often follows:
- An operational audit
- Process design and documentation
- Fractional COO or operational leadership
It also connects directly with:
- Sales and marketing automation
- Reporting and visibility improvements
- Team alignment and training
AI works best when it strengthens systems that already exist.
Start With the Right Foundation
AI doesn’t fix broken operations.
It amplifies whatever is already there.
Let’s design AI adoption that simplifies work, supports your team, and scales the business responsibly.
