The minds behind TubbysAI

Jeffrey “Tubby” Myers is the founder of Tubbys AI, bringing more than 35 years of experience in information technology, software development, systems administration, support engineering, and technical leadership. Throughout his career, Tubby has worked with organizations ranging from small businesses to some of the largest companies in the world, helping teams solve complex technology challenges and improve efficiency.

Tubby holds multiple certifications in AI and automation and has served on an AI task force for a software company, where he helped evaluate and recommend AI solutions designed to increase productivity and profitability. He has also designed private AI solutions that allow companies to take advantage of artificial intelligence while protecting intellectual property, sensitive data, and internal business knowledge.

The name “Tubby” goes back to his childhood, when his brother, Mike, gave him the nickname while they were watching The Little Rascals. Years later, that family nickname became part of the company’s identity when Tubby founded Tubbys AI three years ago after recognizing the major shift AI would bring to business operations.

Seeing the opportunity to help companies prepare for the future, Tubby quickly asked Mike to join the company and bring his extensive business experience to help guide Tubbys AI forward. Just two weeks after Mike joined, they landed their first customer and were able to save that business $1,000 per month using an AI-powered solution. Early on, they knew they were building something meaningful: a company focused on helping businesses adapt to the coming changes, stay competitive, and use AI in practical ways that create real value.

Today, Tubby combines decades of hands-on technical experience with a practical understanding of AI, automation, and business needs. His focus is on helping organizations adopt AI solutions that are secure, useful, and designed to deliver measurable results.
