For founders & teams

AI features that survive contact with production.

I build small, focused AI agents, each one a pattern already running for real users. Buy one as it is, have it fitted to your data, or have a new one built.

Remote, worldwide.

The agents

One is live and buyable right now. The rest are in build, and each gets its own page with its own pricing as it ships.

In build

Support Deflection Assistant

An embeddable assistant that answers repetitive support questions from your own docs, deflecting tickets before they reach a human.

RAGEmbeddable widgetDeflection analytics

Based on Panelist's in-product AI assistant.

In build

Workflow Automation Agent

Turn a multi-step manual process into a guarded AI workflow with validation and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

Based on Panelist's workflow automation agent.

Ways to work together

Starting prices are published so you can tell in ten seconds whether we are in the same range. Exact quotes come after the intro call, in writing.

Fit an agent to your data

An agent already solves your problem, it just needs your content.

From $2,0002 to 3 weeks

I take an agent that already works and wire it into your documents, your stack, and your auth. Same thing, running on your own data, deployed where you want it.

  • Ingestion built for your content and formats
  • Retrieval tuned on your data, not generic settings
  • Deployed to your infrastructure
  • Rate limits, quotas, and cost controls
  • Handover docs and a working test suite
Most requested

Build a new agent

Nothing off the shelf covers what you need.

From $3,5004 weeks and up

Your problem, scoped and built as its own agent. Same standard as the ones I sell: grounded answers, guardrails, cost controls, and something your team can run without me.

  • Scoping call and a written fixed price proposal
  • Built end to end, not prototyped
  • Guardrails and validation, not raw model output
  • Deployed, documented, and handed over
  • Optional ongoing support after launch

Fractional AI engineer

You want senior capacity ongoing, not a one off project.

From $3,000/momonthly, rolling

A set number of days a month on your product: building AI features, reviewing architecture, and unblocking your team. The natural fit if you need me long term but cannot justify a full time hire yet.

  • Agreed days per month, booked in advance
  • Feature delivery, not just advice
  • Architecture and code review for your team
  • Direct line over Slack or your tool of choice
  • Cancel with two weeks notice

Something else in mind, like a one off integration, a rescue project, or a technical second opinion? Ask anyway. If I'm not the right fit I'll say so on the call.

Not ready for a call?

Send me your product URL and I'll record a free five minute video showing where an agent could realistically cut your support load or speed your users up. No pitch, no obligation.

How it works

01

Intro call

Thirty minutes. You describe the problem. I tell you whether an agent already covers it, whether it needs building, or whether I'm the wrong person for it.

02

Written proposal

Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. No hourly surprises. Nothing starts until you approve it.

03

Build in the open

A shared branch, regular demos, and a direct line to me while it's being built. You see progress, not status reports.

04

Handover

Documentation, tests, and a walkthrough. The work is yours to run without me. That's the point.

Working together

Communication

Weekly demo, always async

A working demo every week, plus a direct line on Slack for anything in between.

Start time

Usually 1 to 2 weeks

Fitting an existing agent can often start sooner.

Contracts

NDA friendly

Happy to sign yours, or work from a simple mutual NDA.

Invoicing

50% up front

Balance on delivery. Bank transfer, Wise, or Payoneer.
