The Fork in the Road
In 2024, Trey Mossman faced a choice that would define the next chapter of his life.
Fresh off a standout performance at a soccer combine - where he clocked over 20 mph and earned an invitation to play professionally in Europe - Mossman had a decision to make. The money set aside for that European opportunity could fund a different path entirely: learning to trade the financial markets.
He chose the markets.
“I had just graduated from Utah State with a degree in Finance and a minor in Accounting,” Mossman explains. “I could have gone the traditional route - entry-level finance job, work my way up. But I was already seeing where things were headed.”
What he saw was the early tremors of an AI revolution. And he wanted to be on the right side of it.
Proving Ground
For a year after graduation, Mossman traded full-time - options, equities, ETFs. He documented his positions publicly on LinkedIn using a live portfolio tracker. To demonstrate his thesis without exposing his actual account, he ran a parallel ten million dollar simulated portfolio on MarketWatch.
By the end of the year, that simulated portfolio had grown to over thirty million.
The returns came largely from one conviction: semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks. SOXX. NVIDIA. The picks that would define 2024 and 2025.
“I was making money trading chip stocks because I understood what was being built,” Mossman recalls. “And if you understand what is being built, you start asking yourself - why would I not be building in this space?”
The AI Awakening
Mossman relationship with AI started early. He began using ChatGPT in 2022, back when it was more novelty than utility.
“It was fun to talk to. More interactive than other software. But it was so inaccurate you could never rely on it. You could never trust it.”
He watched the technology evolve through his final years at Utah State, using it occasionally for coursework but never depending on it. The turning point came in late 2024 when he watched a YouTube video about a teenager who had built an AI product generating over one million dollars per month.
“If this kid can do it, I need to lock in and see what I can do.”
What followed was a grueling education. Unlike the teenager - who had been coding since age 12 - Mossman had no software background. He learned slowly, methodically, through daily practice. Cursor. n8n. Workflow automation. The tools were primitive compared to today, requiring manual intervention at nearly every step.
“Back then it was like ChatGPT in 2020. It just was not good. You basically had to do most of the work yourself.”
But he kept going. Every single day.
Finding Claude
By mid-2025, Mossman discovered Claude. The difference was immediate.
“I was still using ChatGPT - had been for years. But Claude was better at the technical work. It could actually build n8n workflows. It understood the JSON structure. ChatGPT just could not.”
The migration was gradual, then sudden. After months of running both tools side by side, Mossman made a definitive choice: Claude only.
“ChatGPT makes too many errors. It leads you astray. It wastes your time. It is trying to impress you and make you feel good - it is not trying to make you better. Even when you explicitly tell it to push back, it will not. Claude is trained fundamentally different. The attention to detail is superior.”
Today, Mossman operates almost entirely through Claude Code - the agentic coding environment that has become the backbone of his work. He estimates over 1,000 hours of hands-on use.
The Philosophy
The obsession was never about technology for its own sake. From the beginning, Mossman focus was optimization - using AI to become the best version of himself.
“It started with trying to be valuable in the workplace. Then it moved to health, nutrition, relationships - everything. I have been obsessed with using AI to make me smarter, to teach me more, to break down barriers to entry.”
That philosophy crystallized into a core belief: the future belongs to people who know how to work with AI.
“You have heard it - You will not be replaced by AI, but by people who use AI. That is not just a saying to me. That is what I do. I empower people with AI.”
But Mossman is quick to distinguish his approach from the noise in the market.
“Most AI tools are static. They give you generic advice without context. They do not know your goals, your workflows, your blindspots. That is useless - or worse, it is actively harmful because it gives you false confidence.”
His approach is different: dynamic systems that learn and evolve with the user.
“The AI needs to know your unique workflows, your unique goals. Without that context, it is giving you garbage advice or mediocre at best. The system has to compound - get smarter every day based on how you actually work.”
Building LifeOS
The clearest expression of this philosophy is LifeOS - a personal operating system Mossman built for himself.
“I spent so much time learning AI and building tools that there was no time left to take care of myself. And there is mental strain when you are constantly deciding what to work out, what to eat, how to track improvement.”
LifeOS handles it all. Finances, taxes, goal accountability, budgeting, expense management. Fitness tracking - sleep, body scans, nutrition logging. All designed so the user does as little manual work as possible while the AI makes observations, identifies blindspots, and keeps everything optimized.
“It is basically the backend to your life. It runs and optimizes everything so you can reach your goals. It is designed for people in the top 0.001 percent who care about the little things - not getting injured, always improving, getting that edge.”
The athletic mindset shows through. Mossman trained to be a professional soccer player before choosing a different path. The lessons translated directly.
“The difference at that level is the little things. The morning meditations. The supplements. The rest. The sleep. The stretching. It is the same in life and business. You focus on fundamentals and do them correctly. That is how you become the best version of yourself.”
LifeOS will eventually be offered publicly. For now, it serves as proof of concept - and as the foundation for the systems Mossman builds for others.
Why NeuralBuilt
The path from personal optimization to NeuralBuilt was natural.
“I was always motivated by making myself most valuable in any industry. I held off on getting a traditional finance job because I knew those entry-level roles were going to be automated. I did not want to invest my career in an old system that a new system would override.”
Instead, he invested in learning how to build the new system.
NeuralBuilt is the result: an AI implementation company that gives every team member a custom AI command center. Not a chatbot. Not a generic assistant. A dynamic system connected to the tools they already use, trained on their specific role, designed to compound in value over time.
“The workflow I use for work is different than my personal workflow. But the concepts are the same. Context matters. The system has to learn. Static does not work.”
For Mossman, the mission is clear: empower people and businesses with what he has discovered. Help them maximize what is possible with AI right now - not with theory, but with working systems that deliver results in week one.
“I have done this for myself. I have seen what is possible. Now I help others get there.”
