Omid Saffari. Runs AI ventures. Writes down what works.
I run a portfolio of AI ventures, the agents and the sites they run on, and I publish what holds up in production, with the numbers. Every pattern on this site shipped in one of my own products first.

Sixteen years designing and shipping software. Today that means production AI systems companies own: customer-service, voice and sales agents, and the sites they run on.
The ventures are the proof. Seven live properties run on one publishing engine, and every pattern ships in my own products before it reaches client work.
Everything is built in the open: code shared, systems live, what shipped and what failed. One article per run across four lanes, and one letter every Sunday.
What I believe.And why I publish it.
Build logs and working systems outlast hot takes. The record is the moat.
Most AI pilots stall because they're designed in slide decks, not production.
An AI agent you own beats a per-resolution subscription that scales against your success.
