AI Consultant in Los Cabos
I'm Mario Polanco, a bilingual AI consultant and builder based in Cabo San Lucas, and CTO of Skool Skale. I build AI systems, custom web apps and websites for Los Cabos businesses: owner-operators, sales and marketing teams, real estate and rental companies, hospitality and more. I can meet you in person.
Why Los Cabos businesses need it built for here
Los Cabos drew nearly 3.8 million visitors in 2025, at an average daily rate of $440 USD, the highest in Mexico (Los Cabos Tourism Board, 2026). Source
Customers write in English, Spanish or both, at all hours, and high season leaves no time to babysit software. Systems built here are bilingual from day one and tuned to how Cabo businesses actually run.
What I build for Los Cabos businesses
