One step closer to leaving the day job!!!!

Who I Am My name is Mark Gignac, based in Hudson Falls / Queensbury, New York. I’m what I call a “Blue-Collar Systems Architect,” with 41 years in construction. I’ve built 14 houses from the ground up and completed everything from full gut renovations to major remodeling projects. I’ve spent my life in the trades and running jobs, so I understand exactly how local service businesses operate—because I’ve lived it. My Goal My mission is to equip local service businesses—the small crews, specialists, and independent operators—with Agentic AI systems that allow them to compete with and outperform large corporate competitors. I focus on helping them move faster, respond to every opportunity, and stop leaving money on the table by automating the parts of the business that usually get missed. My Why After 41 years in construction, my body is starting to tap out. I’ve been through 26 surgeries and a traumatic brain injury, and that forced me to make a shift into the digital world. I also have ADHD and dyslexia, and traditional business systems—especially writing and communication—have always been a challenge for me. I can read enough to get by, but expressing things clearly wasn’t easy. AI changed that. It’s become my tool—my support system—that allows me to take decades of real-world experience and turn it into systems, automation, and digital infrastructure that actually work. It removes barriers and lets me operate at a much higher level. I’m building this not just for myself, but for my family—and to prove that AI isn’t just for tech companies. It’s for the people in the trades, the ones out there doing the real work every day. Current Status I’ve already deployed my first “sentient” AI-powered website for a local contractor, designed to capture, respond to, and qualify leads automatically. Right now, I’m working to position a local waste company to compete against larger corporate competitors by using AI-driven systems to improve visibility, lead capture, and response time—giving them an edge they’ve never had before.
