about Ascero AI
Two co-founders, one agency.
Ascero AI is Kadin Nestler and Jaiden Lawlor. AI engineer + commercial strategist. Two named operators on every engagement.
the origin
Why Ascero AI exists.
Kadin spent a decade running marketing + AI workflows for small businesses. The pattern repeated: the AI capability was there, but the owner couldn't reach it without a Fortune-500 consulting bill or six stitched-together SaaS subscriptions.
Jaiden spent his career inside Wayfair learning how a real commercial operation works at scale — pricing, packaging, post-sale velocity. He understands the operator who decides on Tuesday and needs to go live by Friday.
Ascero AI is the merger. Kadin builds. Jaiden runs the commercial loop. Two operators who actually do the work — answering the phone.

91% of small businesses are invisible to AI search.
Most SMBs don't appear when prospects ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for recommendations. The AI workflows that recover their leakage are trivially affordable — if somebody ships them in days, not months.
Ascero AI builds them. Flat install fee. Every tool on this site is live and accepts your real data.
