Custom AI Employees

Custom AI that takes the busywork off your team's plate.

A custom AI employee (we call them Barneys) is a purpose-built assistant trained on how your business actually works. It handles the repetitive, judgment-heavy tasks that eat your team's day: research, reporting, document creation, and the workflows trapped in one person's head.

Built around your tools and your process. Validated against your real work, not a generic template.

What it is

Not a chatbot. A trained hire that never forgets.

Most "AI tools" hand you a blank box and wish you luck. A Barney is different. We teach it your process, your rules, and the judgment your best people use, then point it at the work you actually need done.

What matters is what it does: every Barney is engineered around your business and proven against your real work before it touches a live job.

  • Learns your process, your rules, and your standards
  • Does the repetitive work start to finish, not just suggestions
  • Works from your real documents, data, and tools
  • Stays consistent: no bad days, no shortcuts, no drift
  • Scales one person's expertise across the whole team
  • Validated against your proven output before it goes live

How we build it

A proven, repeatable method.

The same method behind every build. Judgment first, knowledge second, proof last.

1 · DiscoverSit with the people who do the work and pull the judgment out of their heads: the decisions they make on instinct, where things go sideways, what separates great work from a do-over. Most of it has never been written down.
2 · IngestWork through the documents, data, and know-how the job depends on, including the messy parts no tool can simply scrape. Knowing what actually matters in that pile is the real work.
3 · Cross-referenceTrace every output back to the exact source and rule behind it, so it is clear what came from your documents and what came from your team's experience.
4 · Pressure-testWhere the rules run out, test each unknown one variable at a time until the right answer is proven, not guessed.
5 · ValidateGive the Barney only what a real request would include, let it work from scratch, and check its output against results you already know are right. No grading its own homework.

Proof

A full day of skilled work, done in seconds.

Speccing a single custom window at IEC Manufacturing used to tie up a skilled employee for a day or more. We built them a Barney that does it on demand: accurate, buildable orders in seconds, correct every time. Same crew, far more work out the door.

“It's doing in seconds what my guys would spend a day or more on. The real gain is we can turn over more projects in less time.”

No hype

If AI isn't the answer, we'll tell you.

A lot of companies will sell you AI whether it fits or not, because AI is what they sell. We start with your problem, not a product. When AI is the right tool, we build it. When there's a simpler, better way to get you the same result, we tell you and show you.

"We'd rather point you to a better solution than sell you AI you don't need."

Designed and delivered by an electrical engineer with 15+ years in embedded systems and product development, applying proven engineering principles to the creation of custom AI solutions.

Right tool, not just AIWe use AI where it earns its place, and point you to a better solution when it doesn't. You get the result, not a buzzword
Judgment firstWe capture how your best people actually make the call, and build the Barney to work the same way
Proven before liveWe check its output against what you already know is right, so it earns your trust before it does any real work

Common questions

Asked and answered.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general tool anyone can open. A Barney is trained on your specific process, works from your documents, and is validated against your real output. It does one job the way your business needs it done, every time.

Does my Barney have to use AI?

No. Sometimes the best solution has no AI in it at all. We use AI where it earns its place, and when a simpler approach would serve you better, we tell you and build that instead. You get the result either way.

Do I need technical staff to run it?

No. We build it, validate it, and hand it over in a form your team already uses. If it needs a tool or an account, we set that up too.

How do I know I can trust its output?

Because we prove it before it goes live. Every build is validated blind: given only real inputs, it builds from scratch, and we check it against your own proven work. Nothing ships on faith.

What kind of work is this best for?

Repetitive, judgment-heavy tasks that follow rules but take real expertise: speccing, quoting, research, reporting, document creation. Especially the ones trapped in one person's head.

Have a job trapped in one person's head?

That is exactly what a Barney is built for. A 15-minute call to see whether your business has a build like this one hiding in it. You keep the findings either way.
