Know it. Write it. Build it.

I turn what people know into things that run.

Know it.

Over a decade in operations taught me that most things break at the handoff.

That decade was hospitality operations, including Ace Hotel and Standard Hotels.

In the Yucatán I ran customer operations for four properties. Revenue grew 80% a year, and nobody on the team left.

Then I co-founded a grocery marketplace and built it from the first version to 20,000 users and an exit.

Now I write down what people know and build things that run on it.

Build it.

Open-source assistant

Dial Zero

A personal assistant you text. It runs on your own Mac, keeps your calendar and to-dos straight, and can phone businesses for you.

I asked mine to check the wait at a cafe. It called, asked, and texted me what they said.

Real texts from my assistant, from the demo video. Business names changed.

Text thread asking the assistant to call a cafe about the wait, and its reply.

Call card: on the phone with Corner Cafe, and how the call opened.

A booking that could not finish: nothing was booked or paid. Want me to call them instead?

Prep for career coaches

Grapevines

Grapevines does the preparation before each coaching session so a coach can work with more people. Coaches run every session.

See the coach prep

The Today screen, rebuilt with a fictional participant and fictional companies, then a page from the public sample packet. No real participant data.

Grapevines Today screen for a fictional participant: a short note and today’s focus list.

What she sees on the days you are not there: the plan before session one, what to hold, and what the coach sees.

Custom storybooks

Little Fables

Storybooks made around one child, first for my son. A custom LLM pipeline drafts each story, I read it aloud and edit it, and the family approves the art before anything is printed.

Read a sample book

The public sample book. Illustrations made with AI image models.

Service for independent inns

Busy Lobby

Audits independent inns’ websites and booking paths, then builds and runs sites for the ones it works with.

It comes out of my decade in hospitality.

Family early warning

Canairy

Watches dozens of public economic and safety signals, from Federal Reserve and Treasury data to FEMA disaster declarations, local readings by ZIP code and federal benefit rule changes.

It says what changed in plain English, marks each signal green, amber or red, and tells a family what to do this week.

See Canairy

canairy.news as it read on October 9.

Canairy Today: a plain-English summary of the readings, and one mark per signal grouped by costs, jobs, banks, energy, health and safety.

This week: spend 20 minutes on storm readiness, with the readings it is based on and where to get help.

Research and episodes

The Operator Economy

What one person can build and run with AI, kept separate from my own story so the evidence can disagree with me.

Episodes on YouTube and free blueprints on its own site.
