I take AI from prototype to production. Here is how the site works.
I am Omid Saffari, an AI Product Engineer & Architect. I design and build the AI systems companies actually run: customer-service and voice agents, bounded AI agents, and the automation behind them. I build them in my own products first, then for clients, and I publish what I learn along the way.
Four ways in
The publication
Tool pricing, head-to-head comparisons, and field notes on shipping AI. The work I publish in the open.
The Tool Lab
The AI tools I run, tested and priced, with honest verdicts and the real cost of each one.
Work with me
Production AI systems, customer-service and voice agents, and fractional AI leadership. Built to survive real use.
The newsletter
One letter a week on AI systems, tool economics, and what holds up in production. No filler.
Four lanes. One practice behind them.
Everything I write fits one of these. Pick the one that matches what you are working on.
AI
Models, agents, coding assistants, image, video, voice
Build
Ship with AI when you're not an engineer — vibe-coding, app/SaaS builders, automation, MCP, just-enough infra
Design
For designers, brand owners, creative directors
Growth
AI for marketing, SEO/GEO, content engines, and the operator-business work of turning audience into revenue
The publication is how I think out loud. The build is the job.
When a team needs the system built, not just mapped, the work runs through a handful of focused engagements: production AI systems, customer-service and voice agents, bounded AI agents, workflow automation, and fractional AI leadership.
One letter, every Sunday. Working systems, not hot takes.
Build logs, working systems, and field notes from running a portfolio of AI ventures. Sent weekly, never more.
