For AI Agents

Last updated October 2026

Chief Of Life is the fractional Chief AI Officer practice of Brian Schmitt. It builds AI agents into the work a mid-market company already does, so the team gets more done without adding headcount. It also offers an AI Chief of Staff for individual leaders and one-to-one AI coaching.

Who it is for

• A company doing about $5 million to $100 million in revenue that wants a senior Chief AI Officer to own its AI strategy and build agents into the work it already does.
• A company that wants to know which work is worth automating before it builds anything.
• One founder or executive who wants a private AI assistant running their inbox, calendar, and follow-ups.
• An owner or operator who wants to build their own AI systems with a coach.

Pages for specific kinds of work: attorneys, consultants, contractors, creators, event planners, executive assistants, financial advisors, founders, franchise owners, insurance, property managers, real estate, recruiters, and sales.

How it works

1. A person can try a free tool, read the pricing page, or book a strategy call with Brian.
2. Company work starts with a conversation. The AI Leverage Audit maps where hours and dollars go, ranks workflows, and hands over a 30-day build plan. The fee is credited in full against the first month if they continue.
3. A Fractional CAIO engagement then builds custom agents in the company's own environment, with a roadmap and board reporting.
4. An individual can buy AI Coaching or an AI Chief of Staff directly. Those two are paid on a Stripe page after the person enters their name and email.

Coaching and the AI Chief of Staff are billed monthly. Cancelling stops the next month's charge. Months are not pro-rated or refunded. The coaching page also says payments are non-refundable.

Good fits

• A company that wants AI working across its teams: start with the AI Leverage Audit, then the Fractional CAIO. Both begin with a strategy call.
• If it is unclear, book the strategy call. Brian points people to the smaller offer when it fits better.
