About

Commence AI

Thomas Fellows has eleven years of experience working in the software sales arena working with companies that have specialized in SaaS, PaaS, bolt on solutions, as well as ERP and CRM. In 2014, while working for SAP Partner Libelle, a company that automated SAP system refreshes, Fellows became aware of the power of automated tasks that were normally done by human effort and labor.


Years later, soon after OpenAI released ChatGPT in November of 2022, Fellows published a general report on how he thought it would affect the workforce in the coming years. From February 2023 to January 2024, Fellows appeared in 48 TV interviews in 19 states including South Carolina, Wisconsin, Illinois, Hawaii, Texas, Wyoming, Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, Alabama, West Virginia, North Dakota, Minnesota and Georgia. You can view the interviews below the two paragraphs below.

After doing graduate work at the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering in Prompt Engineering under Dr. Andrew Maynard, he gained new skills/insight and published another report. This one honed in on Marketing, Law, Medicine, and Engineering. The report went into depth on divergent/convergent thinking, integrative complexity which leading psychometrics say is much more valuable to workforce related activities than IQ, and how AI was starting to encompass the Big Five Personality Traits of conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, extroversion, openness to experience.


Fellows founded CommenceAI in hopes that he could not only help companies wade through the complex waters of AI, but harness it to them a competitive advantage that would help them not just to succeed in a business sense, but to provide true value to world. He believes that AI can give companies the head start they need to finish first.


Fellows is author of ten personal growth books, which were all published before his 33rd birthday. All ten of the books have received considerable attention from the media. Fellows not only interviews in the media on how AI will affect the workforce, he also comments on how it will affect our education systems. He also interviews in the media on his education reform proposal that rejects the traditionally held view of how psychometrics relates to workforce readiness and on unions.
