Hi, I'm Erik Goncalves.
I build AI systems for businesses.
Founder of AI Synaptix - an AI consulting and automation agency based in Florida. We build the systems, workflows, and strategies that help businesses actually run on AI.
What AI Synaptix is
AI Synaptix is an AI consulting and automation agency. We work with businesses to design and build custom AI systems, automation workflows, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies. That is the core of what we do.
This learning platform is a branch of that work. Business owners we worked with kept asking the same question: "How do I understand this well enough to manage it myself?" The courses exist to answer that. They are written in the same plain English we use with clients, built on the same real-world experience.
What we build
AI Systems & Agents
Custom AI agents and multi-step workflows that handle real business operations without a developer on staff
Business Automation
End-to-end automations for customer communication, operations, content, research, and lead generation
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
Schema markup, llms.txt, structured data, and content strategy to get businesses cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini - not just Google
AI Strategy
Honest assessments of where AI fits in your specific business - and a plan to implement it without wasted budget
Prompt Engineering
Structured prompting systems that produce consistent, professional-quality output at scale
AI Education (this site)
Practical courses for business owners who want to understand and run AI themselves - no tech background required
"Most businesses don't need more AI hype. They need someone to build the right system, explain how it works, and get out of the way. That's what we do."
- Erik Goncalves, Founder of AI Synaptix · Based in Florida, USAMy background
I've spent years building AI systems, automation pipelines, and content strategies for real businesses. Not studying them - building them. That hands-on experience is what separates AI Synaptix from consultants who learned AI from YouTube and agencies that resell generic automation tools.
I know what these tools can do in practice, where they break down, and what actually moves the needle for a business. That is what gets built into the client work, and it is what gets taught in the courses.
The courses (learn.aisynaptix.com)
Not every business needs a full agency engagement. Some owners want to get hands-on with AI themselves - understand it well enough to use it daily, manage a team using it, or make smart decisions about adopting it. That is who the courses are for.
Four courses - one platform
- AI Insider ($19) - 7 modules, beginner friendly, 2-3 hours. The fastest path from zero to using AI in real work.
- AI for Business ($59) - Marketing, sales, customer communication, and operations. Practical workflows, not demos.
- Advanced Business AI ($99) - AI agents, automations, and full business AI stacks. Build AI into your business, not just your browser.
- AI Masters Certification ($99) - 12 modules, final exam, verifiable certificate. For professionals who want proof of AI competency on their resume or LinkedIn.
A note on transparency
AI Synaptix is a new company, founded in 2026. We do not have decades of track record. What we have is genuine expertise, real client work, and courses built from that experience rather than theory.
