A useful first workflowScope before kickoff, working software to review
Yours to ownYour code, data, accounts, and next move
The work repeats. The chasing doesn’t have to.
Start with the process everyone knows is a little harder than it needs to be.
Client portals
Give customers one calm place for requests, files, messages, approvals, payments, and status.
Customer-facingAI agents
Research, triage, draft, monitor, and recommend inside the workflow, with permissions and human review.
Approval-firstAutomation + integrations
Keep the tools worth keeping while records, next steps, and updates move reliably between them.
ConnectedBusiness reporting
Answer questions about margin, capacity, pipeline, delivery, and risk from operational data.
Live visibilityKnowledge + SOP systems
Put the right answer beside the work so quality does not depend on one person remembering everything.
Team clarityBuilt work / Orbit
A product you
can actually explore
Orbit is a product I designed and built. It brings contacts, tasks, pipelines, an inbox, and a calendar into one workspace.
See what needs attention without rebuilding the picture from separate notes and inboxes. Then explore the product yourself.

These are examples of what we could build together. Choose a recurring process where a clearer system would make a difference.
Lead response system
Capture, qualify, route, and follow up while the opportunity is still warm.
Client onboarding hub
Collect forms, files, decisions, payments, and progress without the email chase.
Scheduling and dispatch
Match people, locations, capacity, and priorities without rebuilding the plan.
Quoting and approvals
Move requests from intake to estimate, decision, signature, and delivery handoff.
Job tracking
See every active job, blocker, promise, owner, and next action in one place.
AI operations assistant
Watch for missing steps, prepare context, and surface the work that needs a person.
More business. A better system to handle it.
Build a system for the work that repeats. Give people more room for the work that needs their judgment.
Add people where people make the difference
Hire for expertise, customer relationships, and good judgment. Give those people the time and tools to do what you hired them for.
Give the repeated work a clear process
Let software collect information, move jobs forward, prepare reports, and flag missing steps. Start with one process and measure the admin hours, cost per job, and extra work your team can handle.
Practical automation
Put AI to work on the repetitive parts
An agent can gather context, prepare a reply, or flag a missing step. I build it into your workflow with clear permissions, review points, and an activity history, so your team stays in control.
- Research and qualify new leads
- Triage inboxes and prepare replies
- Summarize calls, accounts, and activity
- Monitor missing steps and stalled work
An inquiry, ready for reviewIllustrative example
A new client asks for help with intake and follow-up.
- Context gathered
The inquiry and relevant information stay together
- Request reviewed
The workflow surfaces what needs attention
- Reply drafted for approval
A person reviews the message before it is sent
The next action belongs to a person
Permission: draft and recommend. Every action logged.

A focused 30-day build
The agreed core workflow includes launch, handoff, and 30 days of stabilization. If it is not usable by day 30, I keep working on the original scope at no added build fee. Kickoff requirements and exclusions apply.

AI portrait based on Neil’s photographsA real person behind your custom software
I like getting into the details of how a business works and turning them into software that feels natural to use.
We make the important decisions together. I handle the design, build, testing, and launch. Sometimes the best answer is to improve a tool you already have. I’ll tell you when I think that’s the case.

7 Useful Jobs for AI Agents in a Service Business
Concrete jobs for lead response, inboxes, delivery, knowledge, and reporting.
Already started an app with AI?
Show me the app, the code, and where things get stuck. We review what works, what is fragile, and what needs to change: sign-in, permissions, saved data, integrations, or the steps behind the demo.
Some apps need a focused fix. Others need a deeper rebuild. We agree on scope and timing after reviewing what you have.
A few useful questions
The practical details belong in the conversation, before the build starts.
Can you help finish an app I built with AI?
Yes. We start by reviewing the existing app, code, and workflow to identify what can stay and what needs work. That may mean fixing a specific issue, finishing integrations and permissions, or rebuilding a fragile part. The scope and timeline are agreed after that review; an existing app does not automatically fit the 30-day build.
How much does a custom app cost?
Pricing depends on the workflow, integrations, and scope. After a free call, you receive a clear proposal before committing. It includes the agreed core workflow, launch, training, documentation, and 30 days of stabilization. Hosting, third-party services, and future features are separate. Scope and ongoing costs are agreed before work begins.
When is custom software worth it?
When a repeated workflow creates enough manual effort, delay, risk, or customer friction that configuring another generic tool will not solve the underlying problem. The first call is partly for deciding whether a build is actually the right move.
What can launch in 30 days?
A focused operations app, client portal, internal CRM, scheduling or quoting tool, reporting system, or AI-enabled workflow with a clear first boundary. It is one complete, usable system with a clear first boundary. Future features are scoped separately.
What can an AI agent safely handle?
Agents can research, classify, summarize, monitor, draft, and recommend. Sensitive actions stay behind explicit permissions, human approval, and an activity log.
Can it connect to the tools we already use?
Usually. Reliable specialist tools can stay connected when they have a supported integration path. We decide what remains, what becomes the source of truth, and what should stop creating duplicate work.
Who owns the finished system?
You do. The code, data, database, design, accounts, and documentation are set up in your name and handed over. There is no required retainer or proprietary platform lock-in.
