Fractional Chief AI Officer
One person who owns AI in your business, on a monthly retainer
AI Workforce builds you agents. A fractional Chief AI Officer owns them: deciding what to build next, running what is already live, and reporting to you every month. One accountable person for AI on a fixed monthly retainer, instead of a stack of tools and vendors, and without the full-time hire.

Our team has spent three years putting AI agents to work in real businesses, deploying agents and automation across small and mid-size companies. We bring that playbook, and the platform we run it on, to your company on day one.

“Our WhatsApp enquiries used to sit until someone had time to reply. Iteratis built us a bot that answers straight away, and it has genuinely saved us hours of back and forth every week.”
“Client onboarding used to eat up a lot of my week: the same data entry, the same follow-up emails. Iteratis automated most of it, so now I spend that time actually closing deals.”
“Social media was overwhelming before this. Iteratis set up the automation, and now everything is scheduled across platforms without me having to sit and do it manually.”
What the retainer actually buys
Not another agent built, but a person who owns your whole AI function. The builds themselves run through AI Workforce.
Owns the roadmap
Decides which agent earns its place next, ranked by hours saved and revenue impact. You get a written roadmap, kept current every quarter, not a one-off report.

How the engagement works
Fixed monthly retainer
One predictable fee, scoped to days per week. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Scale up or down each quarter.
Embedded in your leadership team
Joins your management meetings, has a company email, and is accountable for AI outcomes the same way an in-house executive would be.
Owns the whole AI function
Accountable for every agent in your business, live or planned. New builds are scoped and quoted through AI Workforce; the retainer is the ownership that ties them together.
Leaves you able to run it
The goal is staff who can operate and extend the agents themselves, not a company that depends on us forever.

Common questions
What does a fractional Chief AI Officer do?
A fractional Chief AI Officer is a senior AI executive who works with your company part-time on a retainer. At Iteratis the role owns your AI function: they decide which processes to hand to agents next, run and improve the agents already live, train your staff, and report to leadership on results every month. The agents themselves are built through AI Workforce; the fractional Chief AI Officer is the one accountable person who owns them all.
How is this different from buying an AI Workforce agent?
AI Workforce is how each agent gets built: a scoped, fixed-price project with a clear finish. A fractional Chief AI Officer is the person who owns the whole thing on a monthly retainer, deciding what to build next, running what is already live, and staying accountable for results. Buy an AI Workforce agent when you know what you want built. Bring on a fractional Chief AI Officer when you want one owner for AI across the business.
How much does a fractional Chief AI Officer cost?
Retainers run from RM6,000 a month for an advisory cadence, to RM15,000 for one embedded day a week, to from RM25,000 for two to three days a week. That is the ownership retainer; building each agent is scoped and quoted separately through AI Workforce. A full-time Chief AI Officer in Malaysia costs several times the retainer once salary and benefits are counted. You get a fixed written quote after a free consultation.
Is this a technical role? We have no IT team.
You do not need one. Your staff interact with the agents through the tools they already use: WhatsApp, email, spreadsheets. The fractional Chief AI Officer role is about deciding what the agents should do, running them, and making sure they deliver, not about writing software. The building is handled for you through AI Workforce.
How many days a week do you work with us?
Most engagements are one embedded day a week, with availability for questions in between. Advisory engagements are two half-day sessions a month, and intensive engagements run two to three days a week across multiple live agents. The retainer is fixed for the quarter and can be scaled up or down at each review.
How is this different from hiring an AI consultancy?
A consultancy delivers a report or a project and leaves. A fractional Chief AI Officer sits inside your leadership team, owns and runs the agents over months, is accountable for outcomes, and builds the capability for your staff to keep going. It is an executive role, not a vendor relationship.
