About CEO In Slippers

I came to AI from the work itself.

I am Carol Phakathi, founder of CEO In Slippers, an AI Adoption Consultancy based in South Africa, and your AI readiness consultant. My background is in keeping businesses organised and projects moving. Some people want AI to bring in leads, others want to learn how to use it well. I start by understanding what you need, then find the right AI tools for it.

Why I started this business

I spent years as an Administration Manager. Later, I coordinated projects for businesses in South Africa and abroad. Different businesses often had the same problem. Good people were losing time because the work had no clear system. Sometimes a new tool had been bought, but no one knew how to make it useful.

When I first encountered AI, I wondered what it would mean for work like mine. I soon saw another possibility. Used well, it could help people do that work better.

That is why I started CEO In Slippers. I want to help you find where AI makes sense in your business. I will tell you when it does not. The work comes first. The technology follows.

What matters here

Good advice starts with an honest look.

Understand first

We will not promise a solution before we understand the problem.

Keep you in control

Your systems and accounts stay yours. You should know what your tools can see and do.

Choose what works

We recommend tools because they fit your business, not because they are fashionable.
