Our story

From Queen City AI to CoMavenAI

We started as Queen City AI in Charlotte, building custom AI systems for businesses that were tired of tools that did not stick. The work was good and the model was right: engineers embedded with the customer, plain English requirements, systems in production within 90 days.

In 2026 we became CoMavenAI, with the backing of StratusPointIT, a 20 year national IT provider. What that means for you is simple: the same builders, plus the infrastructure, security, and around the clock monitoring of a company that has run mission critical systems for two decades. If your business already works with StratusPointIT, here is what that means for you.

How we sound, how we work

We are

  • Plain spoken. Results over buzzwords
  • Consultative. We listen before we build
  • Honest about what AI can and cannot do
  • Focused on the boring work that actually costs you money

We are not

  • Selling you a robot future
  • Hype driven or vague on outcomes
  • Going to pretend a chatbot is a strategy
  • Confusing on purpose

Curious what AI could do for your business?

Thirty minutes. We learn about your business, point out the biggest opportunities, and give you an honest take on what is worth doing. If the answer is "nothing yet," we will tell you that too.
