Fractional chief AI officer: what the role is, and what Agentik sells
A fractional chief AI officer is a senior AI lead you do not hire full time. Agentik’s on-demand work is narrower and plainer: we price the gap we can prove, then install an operative system. We do not publish a CAIO retainer.
The role, without the costume
Companies search “fractional chief AI officer” and “chief AI officer as a service” when they want judgment without a full-time seat. That market is real. It is also full of menus. Agentik is not that menu.
On demand starts from the gap: what the company is trying to run, and what an official OS does not already cover. The price follows that gap. It is not an hour rate and it is not a day rate. Book the call at cal.com/agentik-os/builder-os if you want that conversation.
One identity
An older Agentik site described a CAIO-as-a-service offer with prices from 3,000 to 60,000 euros. The public product now is the marketplace: $19.99 lifetime per official OS, $19 / $99 / $199 a month. Those euro retainers are not the offer.
A fractional AI officer and an installed OS can sit in the same company. They are not the same invoice. The OS is the marketplace. The judgment, when you need it, is on demand.

|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A seat | Advice on a schedule | An OS, and on-demand work on a proven gap |
| Published price | A salary | Whatever that firm lists | Marketplace prices above. On demand is not a public menu |
| Who runs the model | Your stack | Varies | Your host. Agentik never buys tokens |
Questions
Do you sell a fractional chief AI officer at a listed price?
No. On demand is priced on the gap we prove. The listed prices are the marketplace: $19.99 lifetime per OS, or $19, $99, and $199 a month.
When is on demand the right door?
When Content, Growth, or Librarian do not cover the line you need, and you want that gap scoped before anyone installs a custom OS.
