AI Consultant

What are you looking to build? A website, a tool, an automation, or something else entirely?
I need a dashboard that pulls data from our Stripe account and shows monthly revenue, churn, and active subscribers in real-time.
Got it — a real-time analytics dashboard connected to Stripe. Do you need user login, or is this for internal use only?
Internal only, just our team. No preference on stack.

02 — Match

We match you with the right operator

Your project is routed to a ranked operator with the right skills — whether that's frontend design, backend APIs, data pipelines, or automation. Matching is based on actual delivery history and performance metrics, not self-reported skills or star ratings.

Operators ranked on quality scores, test pass rates, and intervention delta
Skills matched to your project type — not one-size-fits-all
Higher-ranked operators get higher-stakes projects

03 — Build

Your project is built, reviewed, and tested

The operator supervises AI agents to build your project in an isolated workspace. Every AI output is reviewed, corrected, and improved by the human. The system tracks every intervention — what the AI got right, what the human fixed. Automated tests run before you see anything.

AI generates the work. The operator reviews every piece.
Every human intervention is logged and measured
Automated testing for quality, accessibility, and correctness
Nothing ships untested
