What people say

Real client quotes, approved and published from the admin.

Taha automated a process that used to eat two full days a week. It now runs untouched and we never think about it.

CNClient NameFounder, SaaS Company

He doesn't just build the bot, he redesigns the whole workflow around it. The ROI was obvious in the first month.

CNClient NameHead of Ops, E-commerce

Fast, technical and genuinely strategic. Rare to find someone who can scope, build and ship the whole thing solo.

Notes from the build

Short takes on AI, automation and the work itself. Scroll through them.

View all notes →
Jun 2026 · RAG

RAG is a retrieval problem

RAG isn't a feature, it's a retrieval problem wearing a chat UI. Spend your time on chunking and eval, not prompts.

Jun 2026 · Automation

Invisible is the goal

The best AI automation is invisible. If a client notices the bot, the workflow design failed, not the model.

May 2026 · Ops

Where the ROI hides

Most ops roles are 60% copy-paste between tools. That 60% is where the ROI of automation lives.

May 2026 · Agents

Live voice interviews

Shipped an agent that conducts live voice interviews. Wild to watch it ask a follow-up question I didn't script.

Apr 2026 · n8n

Workflows over scripts

A readable n8n workflow a client can edit beats a clever script only I can maintain. Handover is a feature.
