AI automation & tools

Build useful automation around the work you already do.

I help scope and implement workflows and tools that connect existing systems. We start with the task, the information involved and the decisions that need your control, then build toward a maintainable handoff.

For founders, publishers and small teams with a repeated task or a focused software problem.

01

Workflow automation

Connect recurring work so information moves through a defined process. A form can create a CRM record, an order can notify the team and a scheduled report can replace another manual spreadsheet export.

  • Form → CRM or spreadsheet; cross-tool data sync and webhooks
  • Scheduled reports, operational alerts and exception handling
  • Zapier, Make, n8n or direct APIs and scripts, chosen for the existing setup
  • Testing, failure reporting, documented ownership and optional ongoing maintenance

02

Email and CRM workflows

Organize inbox-related work, prepare follow-up drafts and connect customer information with appropriate review steps. We agree which actions need approval before anything sends or changes customer records.

  • Classify and route inquiries, attachments and follow-up tasks
  • Prepare context-aware email drafts from an inquiry and its history
  • Keep CRM records and next actions in sync with the agreed workflow
  • Explicit sending rules, audit trails and useful failure notifications

03

Apps and internal tools

Develop focused dashboards, internal applications and lightweight tools with AI-assisted development. This can be a new workflow, an integration or help bringing a half-built project to a stable handoff.

  • Dashboards and internal tools with the data and views your team needs
  • API integrations, AI-assisted content systems and focused application features
  • Clear scope and acceptance criteria before coding; review of architecture and edge cases
  • QA, deployment planning, rollback documentation and ownership of code and accounts

Setup and training

Get hands-on help configuring AI tools and using them for your own projects. Sessions start from your actual workflow and experience level, with live setup and practical examples.

  • Codex, Claude Code and Cursor configuration for your projects
  • Project instructions, permissions and shared team conventions
  • Scoping requests, providing context, reviewing output and knowing when to step in
  • A written setup guide and handoff, with follow-up needs agreed in the proposal

What you leave with

  • A scoped workflow and acceptance criteria
  • A tested implementation in your systems
  • Documentation and a walkthrough

Each engagement is scoped to the project. Deliverables, access, timing, pricing and follow-up support are agreed before work starts.
