Our Journey

Founded in 2016 by Brandon Powell and proudly based in Atlanta, Georgia, HatchWorks AI is your partner in AI and data transformation.

When generative AI, and ChatGPT in particular, burst onto the scene in November 2022, we felt two gut-level reactions:

Opportunity
“This changes everything, creating limitless potential.”
Urgency
“Adapt quickly or face irrelevance.”

AI had always been part of our toolkit, but this moment was different. It represented a fundamental turning point, not just another trend. Companies that didn’t move fast risked being left behind, and we knew HatchWorks AI was no exception.

We faced an existential fork in the road: pivot the entire company around AI, especially generative AI, or risk obsolescence. We dove in head-first, re-engineering our approach, retraining our teams, and refocusing our offerings. Our transformation wasn’t superficial; it was foundational.

Along the way, we learned a crucial truth:

It is easy to do AI. It is hard to do well.

That’s where we come in. HatchWorks AI acts as your expert guide, ensuring you maintain clarity in your strategy, control over your direction, and complete ownership of your IP. We help you sidestep common pitfalls to unlock AI’s full potential.

Today, our pivot empowers us to deliver tangible, transformative outcomes for companies across diverse industries and domains. Our holistic approach includes:

Training
Empowering your teams to understand, adopt, and effectively leverage AI.
Strategizing
Developing AI strategies that align with your unique business objectives.
Executing
Turning strategy into action through automation, efficiency, and innovation.

The result? Real ROI, measurable impact, and a clear competitive advantage.

Because at HatchWorks AI, we don’t just talk about AI’s potential—we deliver it.

I've called on HatchWorks AI in several instances. The initiatives have ranged from incubation, innovation, to CX/UX heavy projects.

I keep calling HatchWorks AI as they’ve never let me down but more importantly they bring a strong philosophy and a core set of fundamentals that not only makes the engaged initiatives successful but interestingly enhances the culture of the internal teams they work with.
