Things I’ve built with AI.

I’m a scrappy tinkerer and product innovator. These are side projects built on nights and weekends, outside my day job. They do not include the AI features and products I’ve shipped professionally.

Kids / Learning / Storytelling

Besties

An AI friend for kids 4+ that turns conversation into playful learning about healthy eating, STEM, books, manners, space, and curiosity.

Robotics / Kids’ health

Freddy

A friendly AI home robot that teaches children about nutrition while helping parents understand and track what their kids actually eat.

Vaak real-time translation earphones in their charging case

Translation / Ambient computing

Vaak

An attempt to kill the language barrier and make the world’s content available in all languages, across headphones, TVs, phones, apps, messages, and browser tabs.

PerfectSleep morning readiness score

Health / Wearables

PerfectSleep

Use placebo to power your brain and operate at the highest level every morning.

BabyLog activity tracking dashboard

Parenting / Utility

BabyLog

A simple, free baby-care tracker built in 33 minutes instead of buying another $20-a-month parenting subscription.

Personal agents / Remote work

Always-on AI Coworker

A dedicated machine running Codex and Manas around the clock, so tasks can be dispatched from a phone and finished by the time I get back.

Chat with the Nursery Sleep Agent analyzing seven days of camera history

Computer vision / Parenting

Nursery Sleep Agent

An agent that reviews days of nursery camera history to measure toddler wake-ups, diaper changes, and more. The experiment also exposed API limits, model switching, and the reality of production AI.

Personal agents / Automation

OpenClaw Agent

A Telegram-controlled personal agent that could publish directly to LinkedIn. It explores a future where conversation replaces app interfaces.

Founders / Validation

IdeaCheck

An AI startup-idea validator designed to challenge the strength of the need, not flatter the founder. It even rejected one of my own ideas.

The throughline

AI should disappear into something useful.

I am interested in products that meet people in real life, not AI demos looking for a problem.
