The State Will Fund It. We Make It Stick.

South Dakota's AI Adoption Workforce Funding covers up to $20,000 per employer for AI training and adoption. Applications close August 7. The question isn't whether to apply. It's who you want standing next to your team when the training actually happens.

SD DLR AI Adoption Workforce Funding • Deadline: August 7

Training That Sticks. Not Certificates That Collect Dust.

Plenty of firms will happily run your crew through a slideshow, print the certificates, and mail the invoice. That's not what Dakota Intelligence does. Timm shows up at your operation, works alongside your people on your actual workflows, and leaves you with skills your team uses the next morning: measurable deliverables, honest metrics, and ongoing support after the funding is spent.

  • Onsite, in person. Real training at your shop, your office, your operation. Not a webinar.
  • Built on your work. Your invoices, your intake, your fields. Not generic examples.
  • Measured and supported. Deliverable metrics you can show the state, and a phone number that still answers in October.

For official program details, eligibility, and applications, see the SD DLR AI Adoption Funding page or contact your local DLR office at DLREmploymentPrograms@state.sd.us.

Founder

Timm Johnson

Dakota Intelligence was founded on a simple observation: the AI revolution is happening without most of rural America at the table. Farms, small accounting firms, county offices, and trades shops are being left out of a conversation that will reshape every industry. Not because they can't benefit, but because nobody showed up to explain it in plain terms.

Timm Johnson built Dakota Intelligence to close that gap. Based near Mitchell, SD, he works directly with business owners across the region: sitting across a real table, speaking plainly about what AI can and can't do, and building practical systems that actually fit how South Dakota businesses operate.

No coastal templates. No buzzword bingo. Just honest consulting from someone who lives and works here.
