Blue TuskAbout
Eight years of getting real hours back from AI.
Real hours saved. That has been the job since 2018.
Hi, I'm John-Carlos.
I started Blue Tusk in 2018 and won the University of Delaware's Hen Hatch startup competition in 2020. Since then I've worked on AI and automation for companies from Coca-Cola, Perdue and Smithfield to small teams, saving clients more than $1M.
I also run a multi-client practice myself. I know the mornings spent re-explaining a client to AI, and the pause before saying yes to one more client because the week is already full.
That's who I work with now: small teams and fractional operators who want room for more clients without adding hours or hiring.
I'm skeptical of hype. If something won't save you real time, I'll tell you.
