The platform is tuned to real estate workflows rather than adapted from a generic assistant. It carries the same auditability and guardrails as Omnira Dental.

Free to use, open to contributions, at omnira.one.OSSGuideraAI travel companionmobile-appsGuidera is a contextual AI companion for travelers who want better decisions, not more tabs.

The goal is a trip that feels effortlessly organized without a spreadsheet. Currently in beta.BETATokentraAI cost observabilityai-productsTokentra gives production AI systems clear cost and usage visibility. It tracks model spend across providers and features, so teams can see exactly where the tokens — and the money — go. Budgets and alerts catch runaway usage before it becomes an invoice surprise.

We don't.LIVEIndustry Prompt PacksReady-to-use prompts tuned for your industry.ai-productsCurated prompt packs for real estate, home services, salons, restaurants, and more—copy, adapt, and use immediately.LIVEHeliaAI health guidanceai-productsHelia makes AI-assisted health guidance accessible to people who don't have a clinician on speed dial. It helps users understand symptoms, prepare for appointments, and follow through on care plans in plain language.

Built on the same production discipline as the rest of the studio's systems.LIVEChatGPT Custom Instructions Pack100+ plug-and-play custom instructions for ChatGPT.ai-productsOver one hundred ready-to-use custom instruction sets for ChatGPT — persona, role, and tone presets you paste straight into your settings.

Tools are organized by what you're trying to do, not by marketing category. Each listing gets a clear description so you can judge fit before you sign up.

Omnira Dental is live today, with real estate next in line. omnira.space is the home for the whole system.LIVEAnti-Slop AI Content GuideMake AI writing sound like you — not like AI.ai-productsA practical guide to stripping the tell-tale AI voice out of your content. It bans the 500+ words and phrases that make writing read as machine-generated, with copy-paste instructions that work in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, plus before/after examples so you can see exactly what changes. Use it for emails, listings, posts, and proposals that sound like a person wrote them — because after this, one did.LIVENerludeSaaS infrastructure control centerai-productsNerlude is a control center for SaaS infrastructure. It brings the services, environments, and operational signals a small team depends on into one place. Instead of tab-hopping across dashboards, operators see status, spend, and risk at a glance. Routine operations become one-click actions with a record of who did what. Built for lean teams running serious infrastructure at nerlude.io.LIVEAI Workshop (Team)A hands-on half-day AI workshop using your team’s tools and real workflows.consulting-planA focused half-day engagement for teams ready to apply AI to a real operating workflow.

Start with the constraint. End with behavior in the world.
A five-part path from ambiguity to a production system that can be observed, maintained, and improved.
- 01Find the operational constraint.
- 02Design the system, not only the screen.
- 03Prototype the risky interaction.
- 04Build the production path.
- 05Measure behavior and improve.

Bring the business problem, not an AI shopping list.
I've built AI systems at Anthropic, Microsoft, and Intuit. Now I bring the same systems to local businesses: real estate teams, clinics, service companies. Practical, installed, working.
Book a discovery callWhat I solve
Operational bottlenecks where a designed AI system can improve how work moves.
A strong fit
Teams with a real workflow, access to domain knowledge, and an owner ready to implement.
What it produces
A clear system direction, tested interaction, and a practical path toward production.
Not a fit
Speculative demos, borrowed urgency, or technology selected before the business constraint.
