From simple chat to smarter business

Move up the AI value chain.

Most companies start with individual employees using free-tier AI for basic tasks. The real advantage comes when AI understands the business - and ultimately helps the business act.

02 / 04

Where most small businesses are today

Stage 1:Basic Chat

AI knows what you tell it.

Useful for individual tasks. Limited by the context a person adds to each prompt.

1× productivity
03 / 04

The breakthrough

Stage 2:Connected Intelligence Layer

AI knows what your company knows.

Connect your corporate data sources - email, calendar, chat, CRM, meeting transcripts, databases - and multiply the power of every prompt in a securely permissioned way.

Where value compounds

Stage 3:Agents, Apps &
Automation

AI does what your company does.

AI agents can understand a goal, use your company’s systems and information to work toward it, and complete multi-step tasks (seeking proper approvals when needed).

What’s
holding you back?

01

“Our employees are already using AI on their own.”

  • We move your team from individual experimentation to a corporate intelligence layer - putting your company’s collective knowledge to work for every employee.
  • Protect your (and your customers’!) IP from being used as training data for the models, and walking out the door when an employee leaves.
  • Connect your company data sources in a business-grade AI environment with an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), permissions and training.
02

“We’re not sure which AI platform to choose.”

  • We are immersed in the leading AI platforms and recommend the right fit based on security, capabilities, cost and other factors.
03

“We could probably implement this ourselves.”

  • You could, but Breakaway compresses months of evaluation and experimentation into an eight-week implementation led by an experienced team.
  • Follow a structured plan for people, process and technology, informed by best practices and lessons learned.
  • Give employees the training, hands-on support and internal champions to make AI stick, while you stay focused on running the business.

“Brett explained how skills, memory, instructions, and context work together in ChatGPT. It FINALLY clicked. That short call helped me automate so much of the mundane work I have been grappling with.”

Jesse S., Patent AgentJesse S.Patent Agent

“I had this ‘AI guilt’. I knew we should be using AI more but wasn’t sure where to start. I had 25 years of content and wanted to do more with it. Brett showed my team how to surface the right content to meet my audience where they are. One conversation gave me so much energy and clarity.”

At 30, I left the Big 4 consultancies to start MetaPhase - an IT implementation partner serving our country's largest organizations. I led the company from $0 to ~$90 million in annual revenue with a team of 350 full-time technology consultants. During that time we won 170 technology and consulting contracts totaling over $590M.

MetaPhase was recognized as 6× Best Place to Work, 4× Inc. 5000, and was the 14th fastest-growing consultancy in the US. I was named 40 Under 40 by the WBJ, Exec of the Year by Professional Services Council, & more based on these results.

At MetaPhase, we were among the very earliest to adopt AI to improve how we sold and operated. It was the most fun I've had in tech since the internet!

After a substantial exit in early 2026, I started Breakaway for-the-love-of-the-game: making technology accessible and affordable to small and mid sized companies so they can thrive.
