About GMTech
Built for the
People the
AI Industry
Ignores.
GMTech exists for business owners who are curious about AI but done with the noise. We build the tools, run the tests, and give you straight answers — with no agenda and no stake in which model wins.
Our Mission
Help people stop guessing which AI to use and start knowing. Build the software, run the tests, and do the thinking so you don't have to start from scratch every time a new model drops.
The Origin
Why GMTech Exists
The AI industry has a problem. Every company selling AI tools has a financial reason to tell you their tool is the best one. Every benchmark is run by someone with skin in the game. Every "impartial" review is written by someone who took the affiliate deal.
Bennett Bakke spent 25 years watching this pattern play out across every major technology wave — the early web, mobile, cloud, and now AI. Each time, the people who got left behind weren't the ones who refused to adopt. They were the ones who adopted the wrong thing, on the wrong timeline, from the wrong source.
When the AI models became genuinely useful — not just impressive in demos, but actually useful for real business tasks — Bennett started testing them the same way he'd always approached new technology: systematically, skeptically, and without a preferred outcome.
What he found was a gap. Most business owners had no reliable way to evaluate these tools. The information available was either too technical, too promotional, or too generic to be actionable.
GMTech is the answer to that gap. A platform built to replace guesswork with data. A team with no agenda except getting you to the right answer faster.
"The businesses that get AI right aren't the ones who moved fastest. They're the ones who knew what they were actually adopting."
— Bennett Bakke, Founder

Bennett Has Been
Building Since the
Internet Began.
Bennett's career tracks the arc of the internet. He was there when consumer websites were novel, when mobile meant something different than it does today, and when the question wasn't "which AI should we use" but "what even is this."
That history matters. It means he's watched every major technology wave hit businesses — and learned to distinguish between what's hype and what's actually going to change how work gets done. AI crossed that line. He started paying close attention.
What he found when he started testing AI models seriously was a problem he recognized from every prior wave: the people with the most to say about the technology were the people selling it.
GMTech is his answer to that. A platform with no model company affiliations and no financial stake in which tool wins. A consulting practice that starts with your actual prompts, your actual workflow, and your actual brand — and tells you what the data shows.
His operating principle has been consistent across 25 years: lower the bar. If the technology is useful, more people should be able to use it.
Tests everything
Every recommendation comes from real testing. No manufacturer claims. No sponsored benchmarks. Just prompts, outputs, and cost data.
Straight talk only
The AI industry runs on hype. Bennett doesn't. If a tool isn't worth it, he says so — even when the tool is popular.
Hands you the keys
Every engagement ends with you self-sufficient. The goal is never dependency — it's the playbook and the tool, in your hands.
Teaches, doesn't gatekeep
Complex things can be easy to understand. That's not dumbing it down — it's doing the work of translating it for the people who need it most.
Who We're For
Built for the
Business Owner
Who's Paying Attention.
You're not a technologist. You run a business — or lead one. You've seen enough to know that AI is real, that it's already changing how customers find companies like yours, and that the noise-to-signal ratio in the industry is impossible.
You have real questions: What is AI saying about my business right now? Which tools are actually worth my team's time? How do I get the benefit of this without it eating my entire week?
You've probably tried a few things. Maybe you set up a ChatGPT account and used it for a while. Maybe you asked your team to explore it. Maybe you read a dozen articles and came away less certain than when you started.
That's not a failure. That's what happens when you're trying to navigate a technology landscape designed by people who want to sell you something. GMTech exists to be the thing you can actually trust.
You've built something real. It works because of your systems, your people, and your reputation. You want your business to keep working — even when life gets complicated. You're curious about AI, but you don't have 40 hours to evaluate it yourself. You want someone who's already done that work to give you a straight answer.
You're running campaigns, managing content, and trying to figure out which AI tools actually belong in your workflow — and which ones your team will abandon after three weeks. You want real comparisons, not vendor pitches. And you want to know what AI is saying about your client's brand before their competitors find out.
Not a fit if —
- ×You want someone to automate everything overnight and aren't prepared to implement anything.
- ×You want to be told what you want to hear rather than what the data shows.
- ×You're looking for a vendor who will manage your AI forever instead of building your team's capability.
- ×You're not ready to act on what you find. The findings are only useful if you do something with them.
What We Stand For
Five Values.
No Exceptions.
These aren't aspirational. They're operational. Every piece of content, every report, and every recommendation is run against these before it goes out.
Straight Talk Only
The AI industry runs on hype. We don't. We say what's true, flag what's unclear, and call out nonsense when we see it — because that's what actually builds trust.
Teach, Don't Gatekeep
We built this for the person who's curious but not sure where to start. Complex things can be easy to understand. That's not dumbing it down. That's being of service.
Your Data Is Yours
We're not a middleman mining your information. What you put in stays yours. Privacy and security aren't features — they're the baseline, and we won't quietly change that.
Show the Work
We use the tools we build. Every comparison, every report, every recommendation is proof of what's possible. We don't describe what AI can do. We demonstrate it.
Progress Over Perfection
Done and shipped beats perfect and delayed. We move fast, share what we learn, and keep iterating. The goal isn't to have it all figured out. It's to keep figuring it out.
Why It Matters
Independence Is the Point.
OpenAI won't put Claude on their platform. Google won't offer GPT-4. Anthropic won't recommend Gemini. Every AI company is competing for your dependency — and building products designed to make switching painful.
GMTech doesn't compete with any of them. We don't build AI models. We don't have affiliate relationships with the companies that do. We don't get paid more when you use one model over another. That's not a feature we added — it's the only way this works.
Real impartiality isn't a marketing position. It's a structural choice. We made it deliberately, and we protect it deliberately.
No conversation logging by default
Your prompts don't sit in a database waiting to train someone's next model. Private by default — not as a premium feature.
No identity passed through to model providers
The AI companies don't know who you are. Your queries are anonymous to them. That's how it should work.
No training on your data
We don't build AI models. We have no incentive — financial or technical — to harvest what you send through us.
No markup on API costs
What we pay the model providers is exactly what you pay. Our revenue comes from subscriptions — not from inflating your usage.
Terms communicated clearly
If and when our terms change, we tell you what changed and why. Not buried in a policy update. Plain language, every time.

What We're Building
The Full
GMTech
Suite.
GMTech started as a multi-model AI workspace. It's growing into a full suite of tools and services designed around a single goal: give business owners the information and capability they need to use AI without getting lost in it.
Every piece connects. The monthly report tells you which model wins. AI Lab lets you test it yourself. The Visibility Report tells you what AI says about your brand. The consulting engagement fixes what it finds. The software development work builds systems that outlast the engagement.
The vision isn't to be your AI vendor forever. It's to build the tools and the knowledge that let you run independently — and to be the team you call when the next thing changes.
