"Most people are still debating whether AI is ready for their business. I'm already running it."
— Ryan Smith
And he has built some things.
Lean, purpose-built — not the bloated thousand-dollar-a-month kind.
Most CRMs are built for everyone, which means they're perfect for no one. Ryan built a CRM designed around exactly how a specific business operates — the fields that matter, the workflows that actually get used, and nothing else. No six-month implementation. No dedicated IT person. No monthly invoice that makes you wince. Just the right tool, built right.
Answers calls, routes messages, schedules follow-ups. No human required.
A call comes in. The agent answers it, understands it, routes the right message to the right staff member, schedules a follow-up, and documents the entire interaction — all without a human touching it. Business owners who have it installed don't know how they managed phones before. The ones who've seen it demoed want it immediately.
Drills salespeople until they can handle any objection and close with confidence.
The app learns any product or service, then drills a salesperson relentlessly — throwing real objections, testing their responses, and scoring their performance. By the time they're on a live call, they've already handled every version of 'no' a hundred times. They stop winging it. They start closing.
Built while walking Costco aisles. Running before he got home.
He built a dynamic interview screener while walking the aisles of Costco with his family — in between grabbing a crate of water and debating which rotisserie chicken to get. The system screens candidates, scores them, and hands hiring managers only the people worth their time. It was running before he got home.
Close a project, punch in the number — everyone knows their exact cut instantly.
A team closes a project, punches in the number, and every person instantly knows their exact cut. No spreadsheet arguments. No awkward conversations about who did what. No waiting on someone to run the math. Just clean, automatic, transparent compensation — the moment the deal is done.
Snap a card, get a personalized follow-up email before the coffee wears off.
After a Chamber of Commerce lunch, Ryan looked down at a stack of cards and thought — there has to be a way to follow up with every one of these people accurately and fast, based on what their company actually does. By the next day it existed. Snap a photo of a card, and the system reads it, figures out exactly how your business can help that person, and fires off a personalized email before the coffee from that lunch wears off.
Because someone asked if it was possible.
Someone asked if it was possible. Ryan built it. That's the whole story — and also kind of the whole point. The question of whether something can be built is rarely the interesting one. The interesting question is how fast, and how well.
He uses it personally. Orders dinner. Points it at friends. It figures it out.
He'll be out shopping with his family, decide he wants dinner handled, and have his AI agent call a restaurant and place the order. Sometimes he points it at friends and family just to see what happens. It can be handed any goal for any call and it figures out how to get there. He built it to show businesses what's possible. He kept it because it's genuinely useful — and occasionally just fun.
Ryan founded Teton AI Solutions in 2024 with one conviction: small businesses shouldn't need a massive budget or a tech team to access tools that actually move the needle.
They just need someone willing to build until it works.
The Costco Story: He built an applicant screening system while walking the aisles with his family — in between grabbing water and debating which rotisserie chicken to get.
It was running before he got home.
Teton AI Solutions was founded right here in Idaho Falls — not because it's trendy, but because this is home. Ryan knows the businesses, the challenges, and the opportunities that exist in Southeast Idaho.
While other AI companies chase venture capital in San Francisco, we're focused on helping local businesses automate smarter, close more deals, and compete with anyone — regardless of size or budget.
We prioritize Southeast Idaho businesses — because we're part of this community.
You work directly with Ryan, not a sales team or offshore support.
Idaho Falls roots, but we serve businesses across the United States.
