We created Gydent to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and emerging technologies with confidence and clarity. Drawing on our experience as professors, educators, researchers, and advisors at a top business school, we saw a gap in the market: while large enterprises had access to deep AI strategy consulting, SMBs were often underserved, overwhelmed by buzzwords, and unsure how to practically apply AI to their operations. Gydent was built to fill that gap—we offer pragmatic, high-impact guidance tailored to each client’s unique challenges. Our mission is to be a trusted guide (hence the name) for SMBs looking to harness the power of AI not through hype, but through clear strategy, thoughtful design, and sustainable implementation.
Let our experts guide you on your path to AI success.
