Your best people arestuck doing busy work.

Your team is doing work a bot should handle. We identify those workflows and automate them so your people can focus on work that actually grows the business.

What We Do

Sound familiar?

Your team answers the same questions over and over. New hires take forever to ramp up because knowledge lives in a few people's heads. SOPs exist somewhere, but nobody can find them.

You're copy-pasting between email, your ticketing system, and your CRM. High email and ticket volume eats hours every week. You know AI could help, but you don't have time to figure it out.

I'm Alan, and I built Kern Technologies to solve exactly this. We deploy private AI assistants that use your docs and systems—delivered in 2–4 weeks, not months. No full-time hires. No generic chatbots. Just done-for-you solutions that actually work for your business.

Here's how we can help:

An AI that actually knows your business. We ingest your SOPs, docs, and tribal knowledge so your team can get instant answers instead of hunting through files or asking the same person again.

Workflow Automation

Stop copy-pasting between systems. We build automations that read emails, extract data, draft responses, update your CRM or ticketing system, and notify the right people—with human approval built in.

Ongoing Support

Hosting, monitoring, and continuous improvement. We keep your assistant running, add small enhancements, and refresh your roadmap quarterly so you stay ahead without hiring full-time.

About Kern Technologies

Founded with a commitment to excellence, Kern Technologies is a family-owned software consulting business based in the Greater Chicago Area.

Fast Delivery

We deploy working Knowledge Assistants in 2–4 weeks, not months. Fixed scope, clear timelines, no open-ended consulting.

Done-For-You

We don't sell software you have to figure out. We deploy, host, and maintain your assistant—so your team can just use it.

Your Data Stays Yours

Private deployments. Your documents never train public models. We handle security and access controls from day one.

Why We Exist

Most businesses know AI could help—but they don't have time to figure it out, and they can't justify a full-time hire. That's exactly the gap we fill.

We build private AI assistants that use your company's docs and systems to answer questions and automate busywork. Not generic chatbots. Not expensive platforms. Done-for-you deployments that actually work.

Based in the Greater Chicago Area, we work with MSPs, insurance agencies, accounting firms, and other businesses drowning in repeat questions, SOP sprawl, and manual data entry.
