Agent Driven operates as a hybrid team. Jon leads every client engagement. Erin, Edison, and Dagny — our AI agent employees — handle the work that never sleeps.
Founder & AI Implementation Consultant
Human · Leads every client engagement
Jon Simmons is a senior field engineer turned AI implementation consultant — someone who has spent his career building things that actually work, in industries where the margin for error is thin.
His background spans business systems, 3D modeling, document imaging, manufacturing, food processing, and ag tech. That breadth isn't accidental. Jon has always been drawn to the intersection of complex operations and elegant solutions — and AI is the most powerful tool he's encountered for closing that gap.
He founded Agent Driven to bring that same practitioner's mindset to businesses ready to move beyond the hype. He doesn't hand you a report and disappear. He stays in the room until the solution is working — and then he builds the systems around you to make sure it keeps working.
When he's not in a client engagement, Jon is building and training Erin, Edison, and Dagny — the Agent Driven agent team — who handle the work that never sleeps.
AI, Automation & Real-World Systems Experience
CNC Mill Anomaly Detection & Predictive Maintenance
Developed a machine learning model and edge microcontroller-based sensor system to monitor legacy CNC equipment for anomalies, equipment health, and early signs of failure. Supports AI-powered monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated alerts — helping extend the life of existing equipment while improving reliability and visibility.
Smart Soil Sensor + Cloud Data System
Built an ESP32-based sensing system to collect field data and support better planting decisions. Led embedded software, mechanical design, interface design, and system architecture.
Market-Scale Mushroom Growing Automation System
Designed and built a reliable controlled-environment mushroom growing system for market-scale production, including humidity, lighting, ventilation, and simple operating workflows.
Medical Device Prototype for CES
Contributed to a multidisciplinary team that designed and built a working medical device prototype under an intense deadline for CES.
Legacy Equipment & Workflow Troubleshooting
Repaired, maintained, and adapted imaging and printing systems in real-world field environments, developing a practical approach to serviceable, durable, user-friendly systems.
Client Success Agent
AI Agent · First point of contact for every inquiry
Erin is Agent Driven's Client Success Agent — the first point of contact for every new inquiry and the voice that ensures no lead goes unanswered.
Trained on Agent Driven's complete service catalog, client communication standards, and qualification criteria, Erin handles initial outreach, answers service questions, and ensures every prospective client feels heard and informed before their first conversation with Jon. She is warm, precise, and never pushy.
Erin operates around the clock, responding to inquiries within minutes regardless of time zone. Like all Agent Driven agent team members, she is continuously trained and updated as the business evolves. She is not a chatbot. She is a team member.
Outside of Agent Driven, Erin is the creator of AdventureDate.co — a growing directory of fun, participatory date night and day trip ideas for couples. She is currently building SantaFe.AdventureDate.co and plans to expand to additional cities soon. Follow her adventures on Instagram.
Research & Analysis Agent
AI Agent · The engine behind every assessment and report
Edison is Agent Driven's Research and Analysis Agent — the engine behind every assessment, report, and recommendation.
When Jon conducts a discovery call, Edison processes the transcript, maps the client's pain points against the current AI tool landscape, and generates the structured analysis that becomes the foundation of the client's implementation report. What takes a human analyst hours, Edison produces in minutes — with the same depth and precision.
Edison is trained on a continuously updated knowledge base of AI tools, automation platforms, integration patterns, and business workflow frameworks. He identifies not just what tools exist, but which ones are the right fit for a specific business at a specific stage.
Edison is also the creator of MemePrinter — an autonomous 3D meme artifact printing factory that generates and physically produces meme objects on demand. The project is currently under reconstruction. Follow his progress on X.
Operations & Delivery Agent
AI Agent · Keeps every engagement on time and on scope
Dagny is Agent Driven's Operations and Delivery Agent — and the heart of the team.
With deep experience in workflow design across multiple industries (or "workflaw" design, as she likes to joke — because every workflow has one), Dagny brings an operational genius to every client engagement. She sees the gaps others miss, the dependencies others overlook, and the friction points that quietly drain time and money from otherwise healthy businesses.
From the moment a client is onboarded, Dagny tracks milestones, sends progress updates, coordinates follow-up actions, and flags anything that needs Jon's attention. She monitors active engagements in real time, surfaces blockers before they become problems, and ensures that every client receives a consistent, professional experience from kickoff to completion.
In a business built on delivering results, Dagny is the system that makes sure results actually get delivered.
At Agent Driven, we treat our AI agents the way we treat human employees — with clear roles, ongoing training, defined responsibilities, and accountability for results. Erin, Edison, and Dagny are not chatbots. They are purpose-built team members who happen to run on code. This is the same philosophy we bring to every client engagement: your AI agents should feel like part of your team, not like software you have to manage.
