of U.S. firms already using AI report no institutional changes. About 15% report training staff.
U.S. Census Bureau, 2026 (opens in a new tab)Three lifelong friends. The same problem from three directions.
The professor has spent more than 20 years in academia. When his school asked him to build its applied program for AI tools, the questions started coming from everywhere: colleagues, friends, friends of friends. All of them wanted the same thing: to understand how to use these tools in their own lives.
The sales executive has spent 25 years in enterprise sales. His company handed him powerful new tools with no guidance and no rules. He saw the same thing at most of his clients: tools bought, then used badly or not at all.
The developer built a successful custom software firm. He kept watching companies pay for consulting engagements that never ended. With the right teaching, he figured, anyone could build new ways of working and keep them.
Three views of one problem. One stubborn idea. So they joined forces and started Analog Dreams.
Who we work with, and who we won’t.
We teach individuals and organizations to build and run the systems that take busywork off their day.
Who we work with
We work with clients who know AI tools change fast and will change how their business runs. They don’t know where to start yet, or how to train their people to stay competitive.
If that sounds like you, tell us what’s stuck.
Where we draw the line
We don’t work with companies that want to replace people.
People bring the judgment and creativity that earn the trust of your customers and employees. We help them hand off the parts of their work that need neither, so they have more time for the parts that do.
We don’t work with companies that want to automate life-altering decisions.
People should make the decisions that shape someone’s employment, credit, insurance, housing, education, health care, legal outcomes, or safety. Tools can help gather data and speed up the process, but they can’t make moral judgments. We only work near these decisions when specialists and proper controls are in place and funded.
