AI products with character.

I build AI agents that do the jobs businesses dread, without burning the relationships. Managing a property portfolio. Chasing money from people you still work with.

Cielo, Charles and Settle are with their first users. Each built solo, over twelve months.

Built where trust matters

Three products, one way of building.

Personality is how an agent sounds. Character is how it behaves when the stakes are real: an angry customer, an overdue invoice, the moment the right move is to stop and bring in a human.

Cielo · the business you were born for

Most AI tools start with what you want to do. Cielo starts with who you are. It asks for the passions, not the CV, learns more from the conversation than you could articulate, and finds the business hiding inside experience you stopped noticing. Then it finds what pays for the dream, and the people to build it with.

In beta since April 2026 with a first cohort of fourteen. Their first sessions changed the product within a day. Rebuilt on a frontier model in June; the network layer, where agents meet before people do, is live in beta now.

Charles · agentic property intelligence

The person carrying the financial risk, the property investor, has no reliable operating view of their own portfolio. The information exists, split across property managers, ledgers, leases and certificates, but nothing reconciles it into one picture of obligations, risk and underperformance. Charles does.

Charles is a living digital twin of the investor's portfolio: every lease read, every compliance date watched, every dollar reconciled, with an agent that acts on it and a person approving each step.

Deployed with a property management agency, ten properties in and scaling.

Settle · receivables with a human memory

Late invoices are not really an accounts problem. They are a relationship problem: someone has to ask for money from a person they still want to work with. Most businesses either avoid the ask or automate it in a way that costs them the customer. Settle makes the ask and keeps the relationship.

An agent trained to negotiate over SMS opens on the customer's side, offers a plan rather than a deadline, and puts the payment link right there.

In beta with its first small businesses and bookkeepers.
