AI Deployment as a Service
Save six figures on the hire you don't make. We build the AI worker, your team approves it, and you own the AI layer when we're done.
The problem
AI can do most of the workflow. You don't have a safe way to deploy it.
Somewhere in your business, a senior person spends half their week on rules-based, repetitive work AI was built for. Reconciliation. Reporting. Compliance. You're paying six figures because nobody else is trained to do it.
You've looked at the obvious paths. SaaS: too narrow. Consultancies: too slow. Senior hires: too expensive and too slow to ramp.
You don't need more SaaS. You don't need another hire. You need an AI worker built for your workflow, audited by your team, yours to own.

Who I am
I wrote How To Build Software after nearly 20 years of building ecommerce, SaaS, and services companies. At every scale, the lesson was the same: the bottleneck isn't a strategy problem. It's a workflow problem. And the workflows AI can do are exactly the ones senior people are too expensive to keep doing.
I've spent the last two years going deep on AI deployment inside operations. The work that needs a six-figure hire and a year of ramp now needs an AI worker, a human-approves audit chain, and 20 years of pattern recognition about what's safe to automate.
That means we can deploy AI workers for the rules-based, repetitive work your senior team is paid too much to be doing. Reconciliation. Reporting. Compliance. Onboarding documentation. Customer support escalations. Audit prep. Each one integrated with your existing tools, audited by your team, owned by you when we're done.
Your team could try this in-house. Most who try get six months in with half-finished prototypes nobody trusts in production. I bring 20 years of pattern recognition about which workflows to automate first, and how to run the audit chain so your team trusts the AI before it ships.
If what you need is senior AI leadership rather than a single workflow built, here's what a fractional Chief AI Officer does, when to hire one, and what it costs.

One machine is allowed to post to a client's live ledger, and it sits in Switzerland while I am seven thousand kilometres away. Here is how I made it reachable and self-sufficient with Tailscale, a UPS and a remote keyboard, and the honest answer on whether it stays SOC 2 compliant.

The first month I automated a client's bank reconciliation, the scripts worked and still scared me. Over the last few weeks we rebuilt them into something harder to break, and deliberately left one step for a human. Here is what changed and why.

I packed Jim Collins' What to Make of a Life for the trip. His idea of encodings, and the bug book practice for finding yours, sent me back through my own logged days. The plus-two days are not the ones I invoice. Here is the honest version, written on the road.

Day 100 / 365
One hundred days of writing one of these every single day, and this morning I had nothing. The hard part of building in public is not the writing. It is finding something worth saying every day, into a room that was empty for months. Here is the honest version, written from the passenger seat on the drive out, days before it posts.

An enterprise client's COO had been building his board report by hand every quarter because the Trello add-ons couldn't reconcile a card's list against its own status label. The first version I built read the boards straight and handed back three hundred and nineteen lines. Here's how it became twenty-six, and what we're building next.

I saw a chart this week that explains why AI writing reads as slop. Human writing ranges from ordinary all the way up to rare. Every model bunches in a fat band around the middle, average by construction. Here is why that makes me use AI more, not less, and why real is the thing people will pay for.

Day 97 / 365
A small team asked me for two boring things this week: somewhere sensible to keep their files, and something to sort their shared inbox. That is automating the back office with ai, the unglamorous version that pays for itself. Here is what the work actually is, and how I run it as a service.

I built a charity directory to be cited by AI assistants instead of marketed to people. Three months in, the citation number is still zero, and the reason is not the data. It is authority, and authority is humans linking to you. Here is the bet I made, why the machines sent me back to the work I was trying to skip, and the daily change I am making because of it.

How it works
01
Find the workflow
We start with the workflow eating one of your senior team's weeks. Reconciliation, reporting, compliance, onboarding documentation. Anywhere AI can do most of the work. The live build behind this page is an AI financial controller for an enterprise client.
02
Build the AI worker
We deploy the AI inside your business, integrated with the tools your team already uses. Your team approves the output until it's trusted.
03
You own it
The AI worker stays with you when we're done. We can hire specialists underneath as the engagement grows, or hand the whole thing over and walk away.

FAQ
A beloved mentor once gave me this advice. It's been the best advice of my professional life.
Monthly is for teams who want AI ops work delivered fast, one request at a time, $4,995/month, pause anytime. Send the task, get the finished asset back in 2-5 days. Enterprise is when you want an AI worker deployed inside your business, integrated with your tools, audited by your team. Custom scope, ongoing engagement, you own the AI when we're done. Most Enterprise engagements start with one workflow.
I do the deployment work. Jan, my CTO, handles the engineering build-out. Specialists join the engagement as it grows. Same people every time. Not a rotating bench of anonymous freelancers.
Everything happens inside your business systems. We integrate with the tools your team already uses (your ledger, your CRM, your storage). We don't extract your data to a separate platform. Models we use are configured to not retain or train on your inputs. We sign NDAs and DPAs upfront.
Whatever your team already uses. ERP systems, CRMs, ledgers, communication tools, document storage. If it has an API or a database, we integrate. If it doesn't, we build a connector.
Your team approves the output. The AI doesn't ship to a customer, write to a ledger, or move a dollar without human sign-off until the audit chain proves it. That's the whole point of the deployment model. We run the AI under human review until you trust it. Most engagements run 6-8 weeks of supervised approval before the AI is trusted to act on its own.
First AI worker deployed and running under audit in 4-6 weeks. Trusted to act on its own in 8-12 weeks. Faster than a senior hire's onboarding ramp, slower than buying SaaS. The audit chain takes the time it takes. We don't accelerate it because trust earns itself.
You do. The deployed AI worker, the prompts, the integrations, the audit logs. All yours. We don't lock you into our infrastructure. If you want to bring it in-house, we hand over documentation and walk you through it.
Consultancies sell you a six-month integration project and disappear when it's live. Your in-house team can try the same thing but most get six months in with half-finished prototypes nobody trusts in production. We bring 20 years of pattern recognition about which workflows are actually safe to automate, plus the audit chain that gets the AI trusted before it ships. You stay in the driver's seat the whole way.
Custom. We scope upfront so you know exactly what you're committing to before we start. Most engagements start with one AI worker on one workflow, with specialists joining as scope expands. Pricing depends on which workflow, which integrations, and how much of your team is involved in the audit chain.
A scoped pilot. We pick one workflow, define what done looks like, and deploy the AI worker on a fixed-fee basis for 30 days. If the pilot doesn't deliver, the engagement ends there. If it does, we move into the full Enterprise engagement.
