Software and SaaS companies
Software companies, led into the agent era. Product, architecture and AI in one person.
Your team ships code, agents now write a large part of it, and your customers expect AI that works inside the product. I lead the product and technical decisions that keep a software company ahead: what to build, how it is built, and which AI is worth putting in front of customers.

- AI in the product
The challenge
Agents write your code now. Someone still has to decide what to build.
The cost of software moved from writing code to deciding what to build and checking it was built right. A team shaped for the old way pays for speed it cannot steer, and ships the wrong thing faster.
How I help
Pick where to start. Six ways to work together in software and SaaS companies.
Three outcomes at a fixed price, and three roles monthly or on demand. Most clients start with one and add a second.

Agentic frame included
A new SaaS or AI product next to your core one, launched for paying customers with the agentic frame your team keeps.
