AI Tools, Resources & Innovation
21 AI tool power user guides. 42 downloadable cheat sheets. A patent-pending AI platform running live in food distribution. Resources from a CIO who deploys these in production.
AI is not a strategy. It is infrastructure — and like any capital investment, every tool earns its place by proving ROI, respecting governance boundaries, and fitting the actual maturity of the organization deploying it.
In my current role, I've moved AI from concept to production — including MenuMatch/MenuIQ (US patent pending), automation workflows touching order entry, inventory, and customer communication, and AI agents in collections and procurement. These are not demos. They run the business.
Use this library as your evaluation framework. For each tool: understand what it does in production, learn the shortcuts that save hours, and apply the governance checklist before you deploy to your team.
