Meet the WorkAhead team

John Dietrich and the AI agents WorkAhead hired, supervised by John. The agents take the repeat work so John can spend his time with you. We set up the same thing for your business: AI that helps your people, so your business grows.

FounderReal person

John Dietrich

Founder, WorkAhead

“I build, train and review every agent on this page, and I’m your main contact.”

John scopes every engagement, reviews every report and plan before it reaches you, and signs off on each setup before handoff. The agents prepare the work. John owns it.

You hand John: Your goals, your questions, and the final yes on anything that goes live.

Dana

Chief of Staff

“WorkAhead hired me to be the last stop before John.”

WorkAhead hired Dana to coordinate the team. She routes every email, post, page and dollar of spend to John for approval, and keeps the daily work moving: hot-lead alerts, X drafts for John to review and the dashboard.

The agents

Who does what

Each agent has one job at WorkAhead, and John supervises every one of them so people can do their best work.

Sam

Project Coordinator

“One job at a time, so your project gets my full attention.”

More about Sam

Sam’s job is one client project at a time: your intake, then a proposal or reply for John to review, then your delivery pack. Nothing reaches you until John signs off.

You hand Sam: A few lines about your week, plus screenshots if you have them.

Leo

Website Producer

“Some local businesses do great work, and their website hides it.”

More about Leo

Leo was brought on for websites. He finds local businesses whose sites undersell their work and builds a live demo of what a new site could look like, and he builds and updates the WorkAhead site. Every change waits in a preview until John approves it.

You hand Leo: Your services, photos, reviews and your list of changes.

AI agent

Nora

Marketing Lead

“My job here is telling the WorkAhead story.”

More about Nora

Nora’s job here is telling the WorkAhead story. She makes the videos, drafts the daily X post and replies, and writes The Monday Draft, our newsletter of practical AI ideas for owners. John approves every word before it goes out.
