Mike Moore

Founder, Strategic AI Architects

Licensed insurance producer turned builder — he grew his own ACA book past $1 million a year, then built the technology agencies now use to get found.

Strategic AI Architects was founded by Mike Moore. He started out as a CBOE/CFE/CBOT market maker, but the part that matters to you started in 2017: he got his insurance license and grew his own ACA book past $1 million a year in production as a personal producer. Then he started building the technology that agencies now use to get found by Google, cited by AI, and called by clients.

That's the difference: we're not marketers who discovered insurance, we're an insurance producer who learned to build. We've sat in your chair, so the thesis is simple: agencies that get cited by AI in the next five years win. We build that, from a $97 per month community all the way to Ambrose, the custom AI infrastructure you own.

Track record

Why this matters for your agency

We're not marketers who discovered insurance — we're an insurance producer who learned to build. Every tool here was designed against a real book of business.
