Craig Brandt

Craig Brandt is Director of Growth & AI Innovation at ArchitectNow, which designs and delivers AI, data, and cloud solutions on the Microsoft stack. He works with executives across industries who are trying to figure out what AI should actually do for their business. He's a salesperson by trade, and these days he builds the systems himself. His AI agents prep his sales calls and drafts the recaps. His marketing workflows take an idea to a finished draft. He also produces AI voice and video, from brand films to the loops that play on event screens. It's where his point of view comes from: the real opportunity with AI is handing it complete jobs and letting it execute. He believes the next decade of adoption belongs to business users who are willing to rethink how they work and treat AI as a coworker they delegate to. His talks, including "Kill the Chatbot," are demos of systems he actually runs. He's based in Tampa Bay, where a few AI agents help run his household too, down to reminding him when the trash goes out.
