What Syntrix* Signals for the Future of Work and Marketing
AKA... What Happens When AI Becomes the Boss:

Let’s not sugarcoat it: AI is now calling the shots.
It’s no longer a back-office assistant or something to "add to your toolkit." AI is becoming the decision-maker. The strategist. The boss.
And in some cases — it literally is.
Meet Syntrix, a brand-new tech startup that’s been created entirely through AI: strategy, branding, business model, product direction — all shaped by artificial intelligence.
No traditional exec team.
No co-founder ego battles.
No long whiteboarding sessions in glass-walled offices.
Just a clear goal: build a Personalized Marketing Automation Platform that runs on AI, adapts in real time, and makes legacy martech tools look dated.
Why Syntrix matters (even if you've never heard of it)
Because it’s not just a made up product — it’s a sign of where things are headed.
This is what happens when an idea doesn’t need layers of approvals, investor decks, or months of analysis. It’s what happens when AI can look at market demand, understand customer needs, and build the solution directly.
And the rationale is clear:
🧠 AI can predict customer behavior faster than a team of analysts
📈 It can deploy personalised marketing campaigns at scale
🔁 It learns and adapts in real time — no quarterly reviews required
Compare that to how most marketing teams work today... and you start to see the shift.
AI isn’t the employee anymore. It’s the manager.
Recent research from Microsoft Work Lab confirms this: we’ve passed the cognitive inflection point. AI is no longer just a productivity boost — it’s reshaping how we think, plan, and work.
Even Anthropic’s latest economic index shows that large language models like Claude are now capable of driving significant business outputs without human intervention.
And as Ethan Mollick puts it in his now-famous Cybernetic Teammate piece — this isn’t just automation. This is collaboration. Except now, the human might not be the one in charge.
So where does that leave businesses?
Behind — unless they act.
The tools are here. The capability is real. But most teams are still stuck in outdated ways of working, unsure how to apply AI properly.
That’s why I created my AI Training Offer. As well as this *April Fool's Joke.
Because your business shouldn’t be left scrambling to catch up when your competitors are using AI to automate not just tasks, but strategy.
And that is no Joke.

If Syntrix can be built by AI… what can your team build with it?
Think about it:
What happens when your CRM, inbox, and customer service systems become autonomous?
- What if your campaigns adjusted themselves while you slept?
- What if your next product idea came from an AI… and it worked?
This isn’t theory. This is the next 12–18 months.
Your team doesn’t need more tools. They need training, context, and confidence.
They need to know how to work with AI — and more importantly, how to lead when AI is managing the workflows.
That’s what this April Fool's piece and offer is all about.
What others are saying about my training:
💬 Jennifer Sproul, CEO at the Institute of Internal Communication:
“Dan's talk about AI was brilliant… Fast and fun, and full of great info.”
💬 Matt Smith, Director of Innovation, THINK Digital Forum:
“A high energy trainer and public speaker! Engaging and information-rich.”
💬 Daniel Coughlan, Head of Mobile Marketing, Digital Wholesale Solutions:
“His passion and expertise are contagious… highly recommended.”
Final Thought: The Real AI Revolution Isn’t in Tools — It’s in Leadership
The smartest teams aren’t asking, “Should we use AI?”
They’re asking, “How do we reorganise ourselves around AI?”
They’re launching AI-led ventures.
They’re turning service businesses into scalable, automated systems.
They’re training their people to make decisions with AI — not just use it as a shortcut.
So if you’re seeing this April Fool's Idea about Syntrix and thinking,
“We could’ve built that,” — you’re not wrong.
You still can.
But the time to move is now.
