I design and implement AI automation systems for businesses — helping founders eliminate bottlenecks and build scalable AI agent architectures that actually produce ROI. I focus on structured workflows, system design, and practical AI implementation — not hype. If you're serious about building AI systems that work in the real world, you're in the right place. When should your business buy AI tools vs build custom AI solutions? In this video, I break down the exact 4-question framework we use with every client before recommending anything. I cover the two biggest traps businesses fall into with AI (the shiny tool trap and the custom everything trap), when off-the-shelf AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Intercom are the right call, when you need custom-built AI workflows, and the 70/30 rule we recommend to most clients: buy the base, build the edge.
