I’m Hank Barker, founder of PriorAIty.

From Michigan, for the work your team does

Through PriorAIty, I work with businesses, educators, and workforce teams in Southeast Michigan and across the state. In-person and virtual sessions are available, and I also work virtually with organizations elsewhere.

How I got here

I've spent the last 3+ years training people to use AI tools — not the kind of training where you watch someone click around in a demo, but the kind where everyone in the room is actually using the tools, on their actual work, by the end of the session.

That's grown into 1,500+ professionals trained and 50+ businesses I've helped integrate AI into — across community colleges, universities, manufacturing teams, classrooms, and small businesses. My focus is helping people practice useful skills and decide where AI fits into the work they already do.

Alongside the training I build tools, including Katie AI, my coaching and adoption platform, Skill Builder, and Where AI Fits. I'm also constantly testing the newest models and workflows so my clients don't have to.
