Your Embedded AI Expert, On Retainer
Businesses don't just need one-off AI projects. They need someone embedded in their team who lives and breathes automation, agents, and modern tooling. That's a CAO.
AI Tools Are Evolving Faster Than Teams Can Keep Up
The demand has shifted. Businesses no longer just want a one-off automation build. They want someone who can set up Claude Code for their dev team, configure OpenClaw for their operations, and continuously identify where AI can save time and money.
That's why we created the CAO role. An embedded expert who works inside your business on retainer, handling everything from tool configuration to custom agent development to team training.
More Than a Consultant. A Team Member
AI & Automation Audit
Your CAO starts by mapping your existing processes and identifying where AI and automation can deliver the biggest impact.
Tool Setup & Configuration
From Claude Code to OpenClaw to n8n, your CAO installs, configures, and optimises the tools your team needs.
Custom Development
Need a custom agent, automation workflow, or internal tool? Your CAO builds it with full context of your business.
Team Training & Upskilling
Your CAO runs workshops and 1-on-1 sessions to make sure your team can confidently use the tools and systems in place.
Strategy & Roadmapping
Regular sessions to review progress, plan the next round of improvements, and align AI initiatives with business goals.
Ongoing Optimisation
AI isn't set-and-forget. Your CAO continuously monitors, tweaks, and improves your systems to keep delivering results.
Choose the Right Level of Support
Every plan includes a dedicated CAO who learns your business inside-out. Scale up or down as your needs evolve.

Common Questions
What exactly is a Chief Agent Officer?
A CAO is a Synexa specialist who works embedded within your business on a retainer basis. They're your go-to person for anything AI, automation, or software related, whether that's configuring tools, building custom solutions, or training your team.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
Consultants typically deliver a report and leave. Your CAO is hands-on. They build, configure, train, and continuously improve. They become part of your team and develop deep context about your business over time.
What if I need a custom build as well?
Your CAO can handle custom development as part of their retainer hours. For larger builds that exceed the retainer scope, we can quote those separately at a discounted rate for retainer clients.
Can I change plans or cancel?
All plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. You can scale up, scale down, or cancel with 30 days notice. We're confident you'll see the value. We don't need a contract to keep you.
Do you work on-site or remotely?
Both. For Brisbane-based businesses, your CAO can work on-site for regular sessions and be available remotely between visits. For businesses outside Brisbane, we work entirely remotely with video calls and shared tools.
What tools do you typically set up?
We work across the full spectrum including Claude Code, OpenClaw, n8n, Make, Zapier, Cursor, custom LLM agents, and more. Your CAO will recommend and configure the right tools based on your specific needs and workflows.
