Bridging Real-World Business Experience with Next-Generation AI & Automation.
The Human Experience
To us, AI is a fundamental change management process one that requires a deep understanding of human behaviour, existing business workflows, and the people behind the operations.
Business Experience & Change Management
Before AI, this was already Brent’s core skill: helping businesses and their people navigate change successfully.
Across 25 years leading operations, teams, and ventures, from ski resorts to game lodges to founding and scaling his own companies, he’s learned that the hardest part of any transformation was never the technology. It’s the people.
Most AI and automation providers focus entirely on the tools: what the software does, how the integration works, what the dashboard looks like. What they miss is the business underneath it, how the organisation actually runs, how the team actually works, and what it takes to bring people along rather than leave them behind. That gap is exactly where Brent’s experience matters most.
This is why our approach isn’t just technical implementation; it’s genuine change management. We take the time to understand how your business operates today, reposition it so it’s ready to benefit from AI and automation, and bring your people into that process rather than around it.
Because a system that replaces enthusiasm with resistance isn’t a win, no matter how advanced the tech is.
It’s the same philosophy that runs through everything we do: tools to grow your business, skills to grow your people. Real partnerships, built on real business experience not just software expertise.
Why Industry Experience Matters in AI Consulting
Most tech providers know code, but they don’t know your business.
At Global Thinking AI, we combine deep domain expertise in three core sectors with technical mastery:
Our Story: Born from Real-World Problem Solving
Global Thinking AI wasn’t created in a vacuum by career software developers; it was born out of real-world operational necessity.
Our founder, Brent Carpenter, spent over two decades building, managing, and scaling businesses across the globe. When his motorcycle importing business, MY50 Motorcycles grew rapidly from a passion project into a globally recognized brand, he hit a wall that many business owners face: an overwhelming influx of customer inquiries, WhatsApp messages, social media requests, and manual logistics tasks.
Instead of burning out or ballooning overhead costs, Brent turned to AI and automation. By building custom workflows and AI agents, he automated 70% of the business operations, growing traffic to over 70,000 monthly visitors while delivering a seamless, instant customer experience.
Having successfully scaled his own operations using modern automation, Brent launched Global Thinking AI to bring those same transformational, high-efficiency systems to other businesses.
1. Tourism & Hospitality
Brent brings 25 years of tourism industry experience to every AI solution we build.
With a Marketing Degree in Tourism, he’s travelled to six continents and 56 countries, and lived in major tourist destinations including South Africa, the UK, Austria, and New Zealand. He’s worked every side of the industry: as a tour guide across Europe, managing ski resorts, running a Big Five game lodge in South Africa, and leading inbound and outbound divisions at TourVest, one of the region’s major tourism investment groups.
He also founded iHolidays (now Private Places), an inbound tour operator, and 6 Degrees Media, a tourism marketing platform.
This dual perspective as both a traveller and an operator means he doesn’t just understand tourism from the outside. He’s lived the guest journey and run the businesses behind it, from booking funnels to on-the-ground logistics in destinations like Saalbach, Welgevonden Game Reserve, Queenstown, and London. That’s the depth of insight we bring to every AI agent we build: solutions grounded in how tourism actually works, not just how it looks on paper.
2. Powersports & Motorcycle Dealerships
What started as a personal hobby became Brent’s real-world proving ground for AI and automation.
He built MY50 Motorcycles, an international motorcycle import and distribution platform, from the ground up, and as the site scaled from roughly 600 users to nearly 70,000, the volume of inbound calls, WhatsApp messages, and website questions quickly became impossible to handle manually.
That bottleneck became the catalyst: he used it as his testing ground for implementing AI and automation at scale.
MY50 Motorcycles runs approximately 70% automated, powered by AI Agents and Chatbots
built on the GlobalThinkingApp, the same SaaS platform we now use to bring automation to tourism businesses, motorcycle and powersports dealers, and golf.
Having built, automated, and scaled an international platform from scratch, we understand the inventory, customer service, and lead-generation friction points unique to the powersports and automotive industries — because we solved them ourselves first.
3. Golf & Recreation
Golf is where personal passion meets deliberate strategy.
Brent has played the game since childhood, and that lifelong connection to the sport, combined with decades of commercial and operational insight from tourism and hospitality, is exactly why golf became one of our core focus areas.
We work with golf clubs and courses on the fundamentals: answering member and visitor questions, streamlining bookings, and automating day-to-day operations.
But the bigger opportunity is with golf professionals. The teaching side of golf has gone digital: players now submit swing videos for remote assessment from coaches anywhere in the world, and golf pros who can build an online teaching presence are reaching far beyond their local membership. We help them grow that side of the business: online visibility, lead generation, and the digital strategy behind a modern coaching practice.
Golf also overlaps naturally with tourism, through golf resorts, spas, and destination golf travel another reason it fits so well alongside the other industries we serve. Every vertical we work in is one we’ve chosen deliberately, where we bring not just technical capability, but genuine, lived knowledge of how the business actually runs.
Human-First AI: Our Philosophy
“Tools to grow your business, skills to grow your people.”
Implementing AI is rarely a technical problem it’s a human and cultural transition. Buying software is easy. Getting your team to trust it, adopt it, and grow alongside it is where real transformation happens.
People & Relationships First
- People First — We take a consultative, change-management approach to every implementation, guiding your team through adoption step by step so nobody gets left behind.
- True Partnership — We don’t believe in quick software sales. We succeed only when your business gains real, measurable leverage.
- Authenticity & Trust — We prioritise genuine relationships, transparent communication, and systems that elevate your brand rather than dilute it.
