Why do I need an AI Program?
Ad-hoc usage of AI is limiting you to minimal gains.
Lack of focus traps your business in mediocrity—keeping you stuck in repetitive tasks, wasted resources, and missed opportunities. Without a structured AI Program, competitors will outpace you, innovation stalls, costs balloon, and growth suffers.
"I invited Dave to speak at the AI Summit in Sabah, and he was a natural on stage, bringing a fresh style the audience loved. We are looking forward to collaborating with the AI Officer Institute and Edge8 to bring their AI Certification Program to Malaysia and have signed an MOU to broaden the reach of our organization."

"We were lucky enough to have Dave Hajdu work with our forum to help understand how AI is automating tasks and exploding output across a wide range of applications. He was able to greatly expand our general knowledge of AI and demystify the challenges of implementation. I highly recommend Edge8.ai as a YPO resource. We very much enjoyed our time with him and will be working to implement AI strategies in our businesses."

"I am very grateful to Dave Hajdu, who spoke to graduate students in our international business and public policy program during our visit to Vietnam about Negotiations and AI. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Real-world experiences complemented our class discussions perfectly."

“Love the new look and branding. The website looks so good. I’m deeply grateful. The brand interview really made me think about our positioning and business in ways I never expected.”

“I can’t stop looking at the new website and brand book. With Edge8’s help, we’re finally presenting ourselves the way we’ve always wanted. The speed, the quality, and the care were all top-notch. Everything is just amazing. More than happy.”

Managing Partner, DN Legal
"Working with Edge8 has been a pleasure. When I launched Fab Four Academy, I needed support to build a strong brand and digital presence. Dave and the team at Edge8 stepped in and not helped with the branding and digital presence, but showed us how to leverage AI to streamline our processes. With the help of Edge8 we have scaled from single posts to a full content engine while keeping true to our vision and voice. I am thrilled with the help they have provided."
