The Founder

Ryan Smith had no business
building any of this.

No coding background. No CS degree. No Silicon Valley internship. Just a relentless obsession with figuring out what AI can actually do for real businesses — and then building it.

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

8 Tools Built From Scratch — Click Any to Learn More

Custom CRM

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.

AI Agents

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.

Sales Training App

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.

Applicant Screening

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.

Pay Tier Calculator

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.

Business Card Reader

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.

Dream Interpretation

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.

AI Receptionist

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.

Rooted in Idaho Falls

Built in Idaho Falls.
For Southeast Idaho.

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.

Local First

We prioritize Southeast Idaho businesses — because we're part of this community.

Personal Service

You work directly with Ryan, not a sales team or offshore support.

National Reach

Idaho Falls roots, but we serve businesses across the United States.

Headquarters

Idaho Falls, Idaho

Serving businesses across Southeast Idaho and beyond — from Rexburg to Pocatello, Blackfoot to Jackson Hole, and nationwide.

Mission & Values

What We Stand For

Our mission is simple: make AI automation accessible, practical, and effective for businesses of all sizes — especially the ones that don't have a tech team.

Build Until It Works

We don't stop at 'good enough.' Every tool is tested, refined, and rebuilt until it delivers real results for your business.

AI for Every Business

You shouldn't need a six-figure budget or a tech team to access AI. We make automation accessible, practical, and affordable.

Local First, National Reach

We prioritize Southeast Idaho businesses, but our tools work anywhere. Local roots, unlimited potential.

No Bloat, Just Results

We build lean, purpose-driven tools — not feature-stuffed platforms that require a manual and a support team to use.

Our Mission

To empower small and medium-sized businesses with AI automation tools that are practical, affordable, and built to work — without requiring a tech team, massive budget, or months of implementation.

We believe every business deserves access to the same tools that Fortune 500 companies use — and we're building them, one solution at a time.
