Rather than layering technology on top of culture, we design AI that thinks with your values.
It’s how small and midsize businesses build trust, agility, and performance at scale.
The Insight 360The Framework That Scales Human Integrity
Every AI system begins with the Insight 360 process:
Align 120 — Defines Your Core
Identify values, mission, and purpose. Establish ethical guardrails and business rules.
Strategize 120 — Designs the System
Architect workflows, assign role-based AI agents, and integrate psychological design principles.
Execute 120 — Implement and Evolve
Deploy through SynergiNexus, ensuring governance, coordination, and continuous learning across every department.
SynergiNexusThe Framework That Scales Your BusinessConnecting your processes and custom AIs
At the center of every Synergi AI ecosystem is SynergiNexus —the coordination and governance system that connects agents, aligns their responses, and keeps your ecosystem learning and growing.
SynergiNexus manages:
- Governance & Guardrails — Business rules, audit logs, and ethical protocols.
- Coordination & Communication — Information flow between LLMs, agents, and company data.
- Continuous Learning — Adaptive improvement based on performance, accuracy, and trust metrics.
Together, these elements form the intelligent backbone of a values-driven organization.
“Role-based AI ecosystems amplify human brilliance—not replace it.”

Why It Matters for Small and Midsize Businesses
SMBs operate closest to people and purpose—yet often struggle to align technology with both.
When automation outruns intention, teams lose connection.
When AI is aligned with values, trust becomes your competitive edge.
“Embedding values in AI systems reduces bias and burnout simultaneously.”

James “JB” Herrera, CEO, Insight Driven Business (2025)
With frameworks like Insight 360 and the SynergiNexus architecture, you can design intelligent systems that scale ethically, perform consistently, and evolve intelligently.

Case StudyProgressive Plus Counseling
Progressive Plus is a Canadian company specializing in helping people build better relationships with themselves and others through its proprietary PEP Personality Process
When Progressive Plus partnered with Synergi AI, the goal was to create a scalable, ethical AI system that kept their people-first approach while reaching more learners. They faced stalled growth, siloed teams, and inconsistent brand messaging. An unconnected tech stack caused delays in information to different departments. Undocumented processes and scattered workflows limited their ability to respond quickly to their patients.
Using the Insight 360 process built upon the SynergiNexus ecosystem, Progressive Plus achieved:
- Articulable values system that informed its business rules
- Business rules that identified their ideal client’s pain points
- Marketing messaging that synergized its website and marketing materials
- A custom tailored AI agent trained on its proprietary methodologies that turned its best selling book into a Living Book
- A custom AI agent that walks people through the PEP process, enabling the company to scale with little to no cost
- A personalized learning experience that adapted to individual growth patterns.
- Continuous alignment between AI accuracy and human intention.
The outcome: increased learner engagement, measurable retention gains, and a scalable system that honors the integrity of human development.
“Successful AI ensures that the output aligns with the business rules and guardrails of the company.”
