CTO, Redhorse Corp.

Under Matthew Teschke’s leadership, Redhorse Corp. recently developed and deployed its own AI chat platform, giving every employee secure access to the latest models.

“Adoption has been organic and widespread, which tells us the tools are genuinely useful across a variety of use cases,” Teschke said. “This internal capability directly strengthens our ability to deliver AI-powered solutions for our mission partners.”

In terms of aligning with the current administration’s priorities to reduce cost, streamline operations and improve government efficiency, AI agents let Redhorse Corp. automate labor-intensive processes that have traditionally required large teams, thereby providing more flexibility for government partners as to how they allocate resources. By building agents that handle routine analysis and workflow management, they are streamlining operations so mission professionals can focus on higher-value work.

Why Watch 

This year, Teschke anticipates seeing the practical application of AI agents such as autonomous assistants that manage information flows, surface what matters and handle tedious work without waiting for a person to direct them.

Teschke and his team are also using AI coding agents internally to accelerate how they build and modernize software. “The shift from tools you talk to, to agents that work alongside you, changes what’s possible,” he said.

“Matt has a track record of placing the right technology bets early and then executing on them,” said Noah Klemm, Redhorse Corp. CEO. “His work on AI has put Redhorse in a position where we’re not reacting to the future, we’re building it.”

Fun fact: Teschke’s college mascot, a purple cow, often makes the top 10 lists for the most unique college
mascots.
