Bluffton is proof that you don't have to be a big city to have big ambitions. AI levels the playing field — giving your Wells County business the same capabilities as companies ten times your size.

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 Bluffton businesses deserve world-class technology.
