Hi, I'm Colin.

Colin Kloecker, founder of SaltationAI

For more than a decade, my work was a conversation. Documentary films, publications, exhibitions, artist-scientist collaborations — the partners ranged from universities to water treatment facilities, and the work always started the same way: listening carefully, then building something together.

The best partnerships felt like a dialogue that built on itself. Ideas passed back and forth until they took flight. When that chapter ended, the conversation fell silent.

Then, on November 30, 2022, ChatGPT was released. I felt something unexpected: recognition. Not a replacement for what I'd lost, but a new kind of creative partner. A way to think out loud again.

From Curiosity to Practice

I spent the next year immersed in this. Not as an engineer, but as someone trying to understand what AI means for how we work. What does it change? What becomes possible?

Friends started asking questions. Then their colleagues. Then their clients. The questions were always practical: Can this help me with [specific task]? How do I actually use these tools? I don't even know where to start.

Most people don't need a technical expert. They need a translator — someone who can see how AI fits into the work they're already doing.

Teaching Capability, Not Dependency

I teach a new kind of creative partnership — how to orchestrate your own team of AI specialists, then apply that skill anywhere.

I'm not interested in building complex automations that break when you look at them wrong. I'm not selling ongoing retainers to maintain workflows you don't understand. My job is to help you develop real capability, then get out of your way.

The thing clients mention most is that they feel heard. I take that seriously. Understanding how you work comes before any suggestion about how to change it.

Every few weeks, AI shows me something I didn't think was possible yet.

That moment of surprise — I want you to have it too.
