ABOUT
Saddle Tree helps a business use AI on the work it already does. A written plan, the automations, and the software. We are in Lexington. We meet nearby in person, and on a video call anywhere.
Staff were already using AI. Leadership wanted to know which work was worth it, and where the data would go. The careful part in the middle was missing: sit down, write the plan, build the system, and stay. So we started a company for that.
Saddle Tree was founded in Lexington by JT Vines and Ean Lowell.
Co-founder. Computer engineering and computer science, University of Kentucky.
Four years building with AI. Has started four businesses, and leads a production team of about 100. Builds the software and leads the people who work on it. Shipped production software at Hudl in Lexington.
Co-founder. Software and computer engineering.
Puts useful tools together into a system that runs. Builds it, tests it, and stays on the details. Works with the people who do the job so the software fits. Holds the client conversation: what the work actually is, what a person still has to approve, and whether we should take it on.
We are a new company, and we would rather say so than dress it up.
We will tell you when a cloud tool you already have is enough, when a workflow is not ready, and when the answer is not yet.
Scopes, success criteria, runbooks, and changes are in writing before we start.
The system drafts. Your people decide.
On site across Central Kentucky. On a video call anywhere. We travel when the work needs us in the room.
Home base is Lexington. In person, that means Richmond, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Winchester, Frankfort, Versailles, and the rest of Central Kentucky. Outside that, we meet on a video call, and we will travel when being in the room is the right way to do the work.
We work with your existing IT team or managed service provider. They keep the network and Microsoft 365. We handle the AI plan, the automations, and the software. When a server is part of the design, we source it from established builders and pass the warranty through to you.
