AI & automation in Tyler–Longview
East Texas runs on real operations — manufacturing, regional healthcare, energy and oilfield services, and the distribution that ties them together. The region’s real GDP grew 32.4% between 2015 and 2023, adding roughly 26,000 jobs (UT Tyler Hibbs Institute). The two cities split along clear lines: Tyler leans healthcare-heavy — its largest sector and home to the region’s top-paying jobs — while Longview is led by manufacturing and mining (Dallas Fed). Together they anchor a base of established, family- and PE-owned operators who’ve built durable businesses and now feel the pressure to “do something with AI.”
The opportunity here is rarely a flashy AI product — it’s the foundational work that makes AI pay: unifying fragmented data, automating manual back-office workflows, and getting margin visible while the work is live. We scope it as a Value Sprint with a single KPI and a 12-month guarantee, then run and extend it through AI Office.
We travel to East Texas for the work that matters and run the rest remotely with senior people only — no offshore, no junior hand-offs. Our Table Stakes roundtables run across the state; ask us where the next one lands.
What East Texas operators put to work
- Manufacturing cost & throughput visibility — where the margin actually goes, in real time.
- Oilfield & energy field-data capture + compliance — captured once in the field, usable everywhere; the same scaling problem we solved for an energy lab now deployed across 300+ buildings.
- Regional healthcare documentation automation — the kind of admin-time reduction we delivered for a practice that cut admin work 60%, giving clinical and admin staff their time back.
- Distribution reconciliation & reporting — numbers that finally tie out.
Common questions
Do you travel to East Texas? Yes, for the work that matters — kickoffs and key milestones on-site, senior people only, remote in between. No offshore, no junior hand-offs.
We’re family-owned — is this overkill? No. We start with one scoped win tied to a number, not a big transformation, and earn the next step from there.
