AI: Your Co-CEO began where many startups don’t: with protection, not profit. Originally launched in 2022 as Redegades, we were on a mission to secure families from rising digital threats.
Our first book, Targeted: How to Protect Your Family from Cybersecurity Threats, introduced our 7-Layer Cyber Defense Framework—used by private clients and executives to safeguard what matters most.
But in 2023, as we experimented with AI to augment digital security, we discovered something profound: AI wasn’t just defending homes—it was ready to lead businesses.
We saw how AI could be trained to think like a CEO.
How it could absorb strategic frameworks. How it could advise, execute, and scale judgment at speeds no human team could match. And we realized something deeper:
The future of cybersecurity is protection. But the future of business is partnership—with AI.
So in 2024, we made a bold decision: to sunset Redegades in its original form, and rebuild our platform from the inside out—not as a cybersecurity tool, but as a leadership revolution.
This isn’t an AI tool for your IT department. It’s not for your sales or marketing teams. This is built specifically for CEOs—leaders who want a true thought partner, one that can think with them, plan with them, and lead alongside them.Founder, AI Your Co-CEO

Redegades began with a mission to protect digital lives through cybersecurity. However, in 2023, as we explored new tools to better protect and support families, we discovered something intriguing about AI. It had the power to transform businesses, not just cybersecurity
We realized AI had the capacity, not just the potential, to lead alongside you. We’re not advocating replacing you with AI. Instead, we want AI to become a co-CEO within your business. So Redegades pivoted from providing cybersecurity to building AI models that think with you, plan with you, and help you move your company forward.
Redegades became a proving ground for AI as a business thought partner. AI can help businesses scale faster, challenge assumptions, and refine execution more rapidly.
Today, we operate under the banner: AI: Your Co-CEO. Let us help your company scale to the next level by training AI to become your thought partner.
