Auburn AI Development
AI solutions for Auburn and DeKalb County businesses — built by your neighbors in Northeast Indiana.
Why Auburn Businesses Need AI Now
Auburn has a proud manufacturing heritage — from the Auburn Automobile Company to today's precision manufacturing firms. But the businesses that thrive in the next decade will be the ones that integrate AI into their operations now.
DeKalb County businesses compete with companies in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and beyond. AI levels the playing field — giving a 20-person shop the same analytical power and automation capabilities as a Fortune 500 company.
The Fort AI Agency is just 25 minutes south on I-69. We're not a remote vendor — we're your local technology partner who understands Auburn's business community.

Built by a Northeast Indiana Native
Auburn is a town that builds things. From the classic automobiles that put it on the map to the manufacturing operations running today, this community knows how to make things work. AI is the next tool in that tradition — not replacing the craftsmen, but giving them superpowers.
The Fort AI Agency was founded by Andy Oberlin — a Fort Wayne technology veteran with 20+ years of IT experience, a Computer Science degree, and two decades running managed IT services companies. He's also the head wrestling coach at Homestead High School and owner of The Fort Wrestling facility.
When national AI companies quote you $50,000+ for basic automation, we deliver the same enterprise-grade solutions at a fraction of the cost — because we live here in Northeast Indiana, and we believe Auburn businesses deserve world-class technology.
