Help me help you.

Tell me what's
slowing
you down.

AI isn't magic — but it is a very good lever. Tell me what's tedious, broken, or boring in your week. Let's see if we can build something practical for it.

Common frictions

Read by a human. No automated jargon.

Live #RELATIONSHIP_TRACKER

Relationship Tracker

I was keeping networking notes in a Notes app and forgetting about everyone I met. So I built this. Describe someone you met out loud. Claude turns it into a structured contact record in Airtable, schedules your follow-up, and when it's time to reach out, your inbox already has a draft written in your voice.
