"Most people are still debating whether AI is ready for their business. I'm already running it."

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.
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 person, schedules a follow-up, and documents the entire interaction — all without a human touching it.
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 responses, and scoring performance. By the time they're on a live call, they've already handled every version of 'no' a hundred times.
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. The system screens candidates, scores them, and hands hiring managers only the people worth their time.
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. Just clean, automatic, transparent compensation.
Snap a card, get a personalized follow-up email before the coffee wears off.
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.
He uses it personally. Orders dinner. Points it at friends. It figures it out.
He'll be out shopping, decide he wants dinner handled, and have his AI agent call a restaurant and place the order. It can be handed any goal for any call and it figures out how to get there.
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.
Ryan has been featured across Idaho's top media outlets as the go-to voice on AI for small businesses.

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.
