You know AI could help, but not where to start or what it's worth.
You pay for a CRM, a project tool, accounting and a few AI subscriptions, and you're still the bottleneck. Vendors each pitch their own piece. Nobody has looked at how your work actually moves and said which step is worth fixing first.

What clients say on Upwork
Diego is excellent to work with. He is highly detail-oriented, communicates clearly, and is always quick to respond. He is also incredibly patient when working through questions, feedback, or changes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful developer.
Working with Diego is the best! He is an expert in automations, embedding AI into existing systems, and web apps. Most importantly, he helped us with PostHog with everything we needed to get started. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Questions
Do I have to hire you after?
No. The scope is written so anyone can build it.
Which AI tools do you use?
Whatever fits your stack and budget. I'll say if a tool you already pay for can do it.
Is my data used to train anything?
I don't train models on client data. The AI features I build call the model provider's API under that provider's business terms. Before go-live I show you which provider and which settings each feature uses. For the roadmap itself I use read-only access, and I list every tool I opened.
