Six ways I work, from a day to a system in production.Every one ends with something you own.
AI Workflow Automation
Turn manual, multi-tool workflows into AI systems with approvals and dashboards.
AI Customer Service & Voice Agents
A custom support or voice agent you own outright, not a per-resolution subscription.
AI Sales Agent (SDR)
An SDR agent that answers every lead in seconds, qualifies, and books meetings into your reps' calendars.
AI Agent Development
Bounded AI agents with tools, permissions, logs, and evals. Not fragile demos.
AI Production Systems
Take an AI prototype to a real system: data, interfaces, infra, and a control layer.
Fractional AI CTO
Embedded AI product leadership: direction, architecture, and accountability for the build.
