BeforeAbout six monthsa specialist learns the legacy platform, then hand-builds one flow at a time

With FlowPilotAbout a week, the targetdescribed in plain English, drafted only from a checked catalog

01

Getting FlowPilot from demo to top priority

An IBM prototype that builds integrations from plain English. As its first test user, I turned the buried rules for building flows into a catalog of actions.

5 developers assigned after my walkthrough of the legacy platform

Case study
Clean-Data, the public demo: a forwarded text message read into 20 order lines, 19 matched to the catalog and 1 flagged for a person before anything reaches the ordering system

02

Reading napkin orders into the ordering system, with a human in the loop

I joined Ventura as its second person and ran product and go-⁠to-⁠market. By summer’s end, 15 distributors were paying for our agent.

about $600,000 closed in three months, from an idea

Case study
Part of the Evidence Trace, with sample data: three turns of a conversation, the participant’s words, the AI director’s instruction to the AI coworker for each of its turns (the opening, then defensiveness) with tags for whether it steered, and what the coworker said

03

Easing nervous first-⁠timers into a live argument with an AI coworker

For a Cornell study with Anthropic Research, I redesigned the way in, tested it with 12 people and, in live tests, took false cut-offs from 22 percent to zero.

162 issues fixed before data collection

Hillside’s rack and packing table: a two-bar chrome rolling rack of seven tees, four on the top bar and three below, each tagged with the storefront it is listed on (Grailed, eBay, Depop, Mercari, Poshmark); beside it, under 600+ orders shipped, a label printer on a shelf, a mailer on a 1944 postal scale and the outgoing pile of mailers

Running five storefronts alone, from sixteen

My vintage resale business. I built the systems before adding more storefronts, and let sales data, not my taste, pick the next buy.

more than $100,000 in revenue over three years
