AI Shadowing
Build Smart Tools, Smarter Systems, and Smarter Procedures
AI Shadowing is a 5–7 hour, hands-on consulting experience where a Dynaimix AI consultant joins your team virtually to observe, analyze, and redesign how you work — using artificial intelligence to unlock measurable productivity gains.
Our mission: to help your organization build **smart tools, smarter systems, and smarter procedures** by applying AI directly to your workflows, one problem at a time.
What Is AI Shadowing?
AI Shadowing isn’t a class or a keynote — it’s an *interactive consulting engagement.*
We work side by side with your team to identify operational challenges, uncover inefficiencies, and design actionable AI-driven solutions.
Whether that means developing a **Custom GPT**, a **Custom Project**, or an **AI Agent** (automation agent), our focus is on embedding AI into your existing processes so you can save time, reduce errors, and improve consistency.
How It Works
1. Discovery & Baseline Observation (Session 1 – 1.5 hours)**
A Dynaimix consultant joins your team via Zoom or Microsoft Teams to observe how you currently perform a key task or initiative.
Together, we:
- Map the workflow in real time.
- Document pain points and bottlenecks.
- Measure how long the process currently takes without AI (to establish a baseline).
- Begin exploring where AI can deliver the fastest time savings.
You’ll also see how tools like **Custom GPTs**, **Custom Projects**, and **AI Agents** can enhance your team’s daily productivity.
2. Research & Solution Development (Internal Review – 1–2 hours)
Between sessions, the Dynaimix team meets internally to review discoveries from Session 1.
We research possible AI solutions, test relevant tools, and begin designing a prototype strategy that fits your environment, culture, and SOPs.
This step bridges theory and execution — ensuring our next session focuses on the most practical and impactful options.
3. Solution Design & Workflow Integration (Session 2 – 1.5 hours)
We reconvene with your team to present potential solutions and demonstrate how AI can streamline or automate your work.
Together, we refine the approach, rebuild your **Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)** where needed, and establish a change-management plan to ensure smooth adoption.
4. Summary Report & Next Steps (2–3 hours of consultant time)
After both sessions, your Dynaimix consultant delivers a comprehensive **AI Shadowing Report**, which includes:
- A summary of the challenges identified
- A description of the recommended AI solutions
- Estimated time savings based on your baseline
- Updated SOPs and workflow recommendations
- A clear plan for implementation and ROI tracking
Foundational vs. Custom Tools
During the shadowing process, we determine whether your challenge can be solved with a **foundational AI solution** — such as a Custom GPT, Custom Project, or AI Agent — or whether it requires a **Custom Tool** that combines AI with custom coding.
These advanced Custom Tools often leverage technologies like:
- NLP (Natural Language Processing):** enabling the AI to interpret and act on conversational input.
- RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation):** giving the AI secure access to large document sets so it can find and retrieve the information you need instantly.
This assessment ensures you invest in the *right-sized* solution — scalable, efficient, and built for your real-world workflows.
What You’ll Gain
- A clear baseline and quantified ROI for AI adoption.
- Role-specific AI use cases ready for deployment.
- Updated SOPs that reflect AI-enhanced processes.
- Time and cost-savings projections for leadership approval.
- A roadmap for scaling AI across your organization.
How to Get Started
1. Submit or Assign a Request
AI Shadowing sessions begin with a simple **AI Triage Form** — teams can request a session directly, or upper-level management can assign one based on departmental needs or strategic priorities.
2. Select an Idea Together
Once the request is received, we meet briefly to select one specific problem, process, or initiative to focus on — something that’s high-impact, measurable, and ready for improvement.
3. Schedule Your Shadowing Session
We’ll assign a Dynaimix consultant and schedule your first session. From there, the process begins — discovery, research, design, and measurable transformation.
Discover how AI can transform your work — one workflow at a time.

People Say
We recently had Chris Carr present to our members on behalf of Dynaimix, and it was an overwhelming success. We had a full classroom, and the engagement throughout the session was outstanding. Many attendees who initially felt intimidated by AI left feeling empowered and confident in how they can begin applying it in their work.

Brubacher engaged Chris , founder of Dynaimix, in a two-day mind-stretching exploration of current AI capabilities, future direction, and most importantly he outlined the likely impacts to our business. He introduced us to a variety of AI tools to explore using to increase efficiency. Some participants immediately identified ways to save hours per week while others began using AI-enabled tools to offset areas in which they lack skills. Chris is high-energy, kept our attention, and has been attentive in follow-up.
We had the pleasure of having Chris Carr present at our annual planning meeting at Oliver Fire Protection & Security, which is a critical event for setting the direction of our year. Our goal was to give our strategic leadership team a stronger understanding of artificial intelligence and how it will impact our business. Chris delivered his state of AI presentation and completely blew our team away. His depth of knowledge, paired with practical, real-world examples, made the topic both clear and compelling.

I had the opportunity to bring Chris Carr to the NECA Districts 6 and 9 Summer Conferences on the North Shore of Hawaii, where he came in locked and loaded and delivered two impactful sessions—one for each district. What I appreciate most about Chris and the Dynaimix team is his genuine passion for what he presents and his constant focus on applying AI in practical, meaningful ways for the electrical contracting industry.

I’ve had the opportunity to see Chris’s State of AI presentation multiple times, and each experience reinforced his strong grasp of AI—where it’s going, how quickly the landscape is changing, and what that means for electrical contractors. What sets Chris apart is his ability to take an incredibly complex topic and make it both approachable and immediately relevant to our industry.

At the 2025 WICA Annual Convention in beautiful Lake Tahoe, Chris Carr presented on the State of AI for our Insulation Contractor and Associate members. He emphasized the importance of AI literacy, the role of AI governance through an AI council, and how to effectively pair AI with custom code to drive real business impact. Chris has a gift for explaining complex topics in a way everyone can understand, and the session was engaging and highly relevant. Our members found it captivating, the feedback was excellent, and I would highly recommend Chris and the Dynaimix team.
We were extremely pleased with the Program that Dynaimix provided for our Members. From the feedback I received from our Members, it was easy to understand and provided practical grass roots education on understanding how AI could increase time saving skills and knowledge about subject matter. The process of booking the presentation was seamless and the communication with dynAimix leading up to the event was outstanding. We look forward to hosting another presentation with them in the near future.
We had the privilege of having Chris Carr present to our leadership team after first seeing him speak at a peer group event. That experience led us to bring him in for a two-day Intro to AI training where he covered the foundational elements of artificial intelligence. Prior to the training, Chris met with us to understand our business, which allowed him to tailor the content specifically to our needs. What impressed us most was his ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
