About me
Who is Chris Landtiser
and why is he in AI?
From the start of my career as a freelance web developer I've loved delivering holistic projects that have serious impact. While my tools have transitioned from Photoshop and Javascript to Copilot and Claude Code, that love of curating the best tools and processes for maximum impact hasn't changed.

How I Approach AI
I see a future where AI is as unremarkable as spreadsheets — powerful, useful, and completely integrated into work. Getting there means cutting through hype, putting people first, and shipping things that actually work.
Start with Problems, Not Solutions
Too many AI projects start with 'let's use AI!' I start with 'what's actually broken?' Sometimes AI is the answer. Sometimes it's a better spreadsheet. Both are valid.
Augment, Never Replace
AI digests data and finds patterns humans might miss. But the final call is always human. AI provides insights; people make decisions based on context, ethics, and judgment no algorithm can match.
Test, Learn, Scale
Small pilots with clear success metrics. If it works, we expand. If it doesn't, we learned something valuable. No massive rollouts based on promises.
In Practice
Where the Work Actually Happens
The best AI adoption doesn't happen in a strategy deck — it happens in hallway conversations, hands-on workshops, and the moment someone realizes the tool actually makes their day easier.
That's where I like to be: in the room, meeting people where they are, and turning curiosity into real, confident use. Whether it's a one-on-one or a conference hall, the goal is the same — practical skills people keep using long after I leave.
