For employers
Put AI talent inside your business.
Anaboo trains AI operators from scratch, places experienced ones, and embeds them inside your business as Chief AI Officers. Prefer a defined engagement? An Anaboo Forward Deployed Engineer deploys into your business for 3 to 6 months. Your hire. Your IP. Backed by Anaboo's team for the life of the placement.
Three ways to put AI talent in your business.
The Chief AI Officer and AI Officer are placements: your hire, your IP, a 12-month embed via Anaboo with optional conversion to direct employee. The Forward Deployed Engineer is an Anaboo service: an engineer deploys into your business for 3 to 6 months and stays with Anaboo at the end.

Chief AI Officer placement
One person. Every function. Rebuilt AI-first.
A Chief AI Officer (CAIO) joins your business full-time, designs the AI strategy, builds the systems, sets the governance and owns the outcome. They report directly to you.
What your CAIO owns.
- Aligning AI strategy with the business goals that drive your P&L
- Picking the AI projects worth doing, the ones that deliver measurable results
- Building the data strategy that makes AI worth running
- Working out the people, tools and infrastructure you need
- Getting the rest of your team on board
- Setting the policies that keep your AI safe, compliant and trustworthy
- Sitting at the executive table as a strategic peer to your CFO and COO
Three steps to a CAIO.
Scope
We sit with your leadership team, map your operations and identify where a CAIO creates the most leverage. Output: a written role brief you keep.
Match
We search our trained pool and our experienced network. You only meet candidates briefed on your business before the first call.
Embed
Your CAIO joins your team via Anaboo for 12 months, reports directly to you, and ships. After 12 months, you can convert them to a direct employee.
How the 12 months work. Your hire is contracted through Anaboo for the first 12 months. You pay Anaboo, Anaboo pays them, and the operator is embedded in your team day to day. Everything they build belongs to your business.
You are placed. You are not abandoned.
Every CAIO Anaboo places stays connected to its team for the life of the placement.
AIOS skills library
Direct access to Anaboo's pre-built agents, dashboards and integrations. Your placed CAIO ships faster because they are not building from zero.
Office hours
Monthly group session with senior Anaboo operators. Bring a problem, leave with a build path.
Engineering escalation
When an install gets stuck, your CAIO has a direct line to Anaboo's build team.
Continuous training
Your CAIO stays current through Anaboo's quarterly training drops, at no extra cost to you.
Every candidate is personally vetted.
No keyword screening and no generic shortlists.

Forward Deployed Engineer
One engineer. One business. Until the AI works.
A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who embeds inside your business to make AI work in production. They stay until it is shipped and your team can run it. Anaboo runs the FDE motion for established SMEs, because AIOS does the heavy lifting an FDE would otherwise build from scratch.
On-site and with your team
Your FDE sits with the people doing the work, from front desk to ops, finance and sales. They map workflows by watching them happen.
Building, shipping, fixing
They write the agents, wire the integrations, configure AIOS to your business and fix things at the desk when they break.
Hand-over and drift
Every week of the engagement is also a week of teaching. Documentation is left behind, and Anaboo's drift maintenance keeps your AI running as the models change.
When your FDE leaves, your AI keeps running.
From week one, every workflow is documented, every system is taught and every dashboard is handed over.
- AIOS configured to your business, owned by you
- Documented workflows your team can run without us
- A team that has been trained on the systems they are using
- An optional drift maintenance retainer to keep things alive as the models change
- A direct line back to your FDE if you want them again for the next workflow
Four steps to an engaged FDE.
Free AI audit
We sit with you, walk through the business and find the workflow where an embedded engineer creates the most leverage. Output: a scoped engagement brief you keep, whether you proceed or not.
Match
We assign the FDE whose background fits: vertical, stack and communication style. You meet them briefed on your business before kick-off.
Embed
3 to 6 months. Your FDE is dedicated to you for the engagement, with weekly outcome reporting. On-site cadence is shaped per engagement: your office, our office or hybrid.
Hand-over
We hand over to your team and leave them running. Optional drift maintenance keeps the deployment alive. Optional follow-on engagement if there is a next workflow to ship.
Commercial shape
Monthly retainer, 3 to 6 month engagements, scoped per engagement on the discovery call.
Common questions.
How is this different from a regular AI recruitment firm?
Three ways. Anaboo trains operators from scratch through its Trained pathway, then places them. Every CAIO Anaboo places stays connected to its team for the life of the placement. And the replacement guarantee runs the full 12 months.
Do we own what the CAIO builds?
Yes. Everything they build belongs to your business. After the 12-month Anaboo contract you can convert them to a direct employee, and the systems stay regardless.
How does the 12-month placement structure work?
It applies to the Chief AI Officer and AI Officer. Your hire is contracted through Anaboo for the first 12 months. You pay Anaboo, Anaboo pays them, and the operator is embedded in your team day to day. After 12 months you can convert them to a direct hire.
How is a Forward Deployed Engineer different from a placement?
A placed CAIO or AI Officer becomes part of your team. A Forward Deployed Engineer is an Anaboo employee who deploys into your business for a 3 to 6 month engagement on a monthly retainer, then leaves, with no conversion. Many clients use both.
What does an FDE engagement cost?
A monthly retainer, scoped per engagement on the discovery call. Anaboo does not list a number publicly because engagement length, on-site cadence and scope vary.
Where are the people based?
Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and Southeast Asia. Most placements are local to the hiring business, and remote-first roles are common for the AI Officer and the Forward Deployed Engineer.
