Practical AI for real businesses

AI is not magic.
It is labor that actually learns.

Most business owners know AI matters. Most have no idea where to hire it.

I help you find operational friction and hire specialized workers to handle it—built on Google's enterprise-grade infrastructure.

It starts with a walkthrough. It continues with your first intern.

The real problem

Most businesses do not have an AI problem.


They have too much manual work that should not exist.

They have too much follow-up that falls through the cracks.

They have too many bottlenecks that depend on one person remembering.

They have too much admin eating the hours that should go to real work.

AI is not the product. AI is the tool.
The real product is removing expensive friction inside your business.

Sound familiar?

The friction you already feel.


📥

Inbox chaos

Customer requests get lost. Nobody follows up. Opportunities die in unread threads.

🔁

Repeated admin

The same data entered three times. The same report rebuilt every week. People doing work software should be doing.

📊

Painful reporting

Pulling numbers from five different places into one spreadsheet. Every. Single. Month.

📅

Scheduling breakdowns

Coordination that requires four emails, two calls, and someone checking a whiteboard.

📝

Quoting delays

Quotes that take days instead of hours because someone has to manually look up pricing, write it up, and send it.

🚪

Onboarding gaps

New clients or employees get a scattered experience because the process lives in someone's head.

The infrastructure

Built on Google. Your data stays there.


Every worker runs on Google's enterprise-grade infrastructure — Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Calendar, Drive. The tools your business already uses. Your data never leaves your Google environment.

The Worker

AI handles the reasoning

Classifying, routing, drafting, prioritising. Deciding what needs attention and what does not.

The Workforce

Google handles the execution

Sending, updating, filing, scheduling. Working inside the tools your team already knows.

The Manager

You stay in control

Your worker prepares the work. You approve it. Nothing runs without a human decision. Ever.

Your data stays in Google. We request only the minimum permissions needed. If you stop using us, nothing breaks — your Gmail, Sheets, and Calendar keep working exactly as they did before.
The hiring path

How you hire your first worker.


I don't build generic software. I build custom workers for your specific operations. It all starts with an Ops Walkthrough.

The Foundational Intern

The Gmail Worker

Every business starts here. After our walkthrough, I build your first specialized intern to manage the inbox. They learn your business rules, your pricing, and your voice over their first 50 emails.

  • 50-email Internship — try at no cost before you hire
  • Learns from your history to build custom context
  • Simple salary model: Base floor + per-task fee

The custom build process

The Ops Walkthrough


I look at how your business actually runs and identify where a worker can help.

01

Meet & Map

We sit down. You show me your process. I identify where friction costs you money and time. No pitch—just honest assessment at no cost.

02

Hire the Intern

I build your first specialized Gmail Worker. They start as an intern, learning your rules and voice over 50 emails. You stay in control of every draft.

03

Promote & Expand

Once the intern has proven their value, you hire them full-time. We then identify the next worker to build—Quoting, Reporting, or Scheduling.

From walkthrough to working system

The Path to Hire.


1

Ops Walkthrough

Map the workflow reality. Identify friction. Determine what should stay human.

2

Hire the Intern

I build your specialized Gmail Worker. They start learning your business on day one.

3

Build Context

The intern scans your history to understand your tone, your pricing, and your rules.

4

Human Approval

The worker prepares the work. You approve it. Nothing runs unsupervised during the internship.

5

Promote to Full-Time

Once trust is built, the worker moves to a full-time hire. You pay for work, not software.

6

Expand the Workforce

We build the next worker to remove the next piece of friction in your operations.

Who I am

A builder. Not an agency.


I am a solo developer who works hands-on with AI systems and software.

I help business owners figure out where AI can actually help — and where it cannot. If there is a real opportunity, I build the first useful version. If there is not, I will tell you.

No account managers. No layers. No fluff. Just direct work.

Radical honesty

If AI is not the answer, I will say so. No forced sale. No obligation.

Your data, not mine

Your data stays in Google. We request minimum permissions. Disconnect anytime — nothing breaks.

Pay for work, not seats

No subscriptions you forget about. No giant contracts. You pay a base salary to keep the worker active, then only for what they actually do.

Yes, my workers are powered by AI. I just don't lead with that word because it's been hollowed out by hype. I call them workers because that's what they do: clock in, do the job, and clock out.
