OC Referral Radar

Twice a day it reads public local community groups and 11 Orange County subreddits for "who do you recommend?" posts, matches each to a member of my referral group, checks the thread so nobody gets referred twice, and drafts the reply for me to post.

• 885 posts read in the first four days
• 8 matches, 5 replies posted, 1 duplicate caught
• $5.92 in scraping cost against a $19 cap

Agent toolbelt

The services my agents can call directly over MCP and API, so generation, publishing, research and email run as steps in a job instead of tabs in a browser.

• HeyGen API wired in, about 90 tools
• Magnific, DataForSEO, Apify, Buffer, Kit, Make, Notion, Gmail and Calendar connected
• Custom MCP setups for tools with no marketplace listing

• Full stack live in about two hours, Aug 21
• Daily 7am job deployed and verified
• Skill library under git version control

Phone-callable AI receptionist

Call a real Orange County number and an agent in my cloned voice runs the intake: problem, city, urgency, callback window. Mid-call it fires a tool that posts to a Make scenario, which writes a row to the owner's log and pings the owner's phone.

• Live call tested end to end, Sept 5
• ElevenLabs + Twilio + Make + Google Sheets + Telegram
• 9-field lead log, filled with nobody touching it

VTDO Jams, a private cloud music library

Brought a 10-year-old iTunes library back to life as a private web player with search, BPM filtering, playlists, lock-screen controls, duplicate checks and daily backups. The migration ran read-only with stop-and-approve gates.

• 22,649 songs loaded from a 148.6 GB audit
• 82 automated tests and 29 browser checks passing
• Independent code review found 15 issues, all fixed

Cut Notes

A video review console. I watch a proxy and press M wherever something needs to change; it captures a frame-accurate timecode, tags and a note, and the editing agent works the cut from that list.

• 28 notes across two parts of the first episode
• Keyboard-driven, single-frame stepping
• A "part done" signal so the agent never reads a half-written pass

VTDO Work Release

A thirty-second permission form a client signs on their phone so I can show the work we did. They opt out of anything they'd rather not include, sign with a finger, and both of us get a timestamped PDF.

• Four opt-out permissions, from logo to quoted words
• Finger signature with date, time and time zone
• PDF generated in the browser, copy sent to the client

• 33 members, built from their public bios
• One-tap contact save with photo
• Link previews built for texting a card

Demo Foundry

A platform for per-prospect demo builds with expiring share links, a Draft to QA Ready to Active to Expired status workflow, and view tracking so I know a prospect opened it before I follow up.

• Status workflow designed before any page was built

VT Field

An iPhone app that turns a business card into a saved contact. Scan the card, say the details out loud, or type them, and it builds the contact for you.

AI presenter pipeline

Long-form episodes presented by a synthetic version of me, rendered through the HeyGen API with my cloned ElevenLabs voice. The render settings were chosen by controlled A/B tests, not by eye.

• First episode rendered: 8 min 21 s, split on beat boundaries
• Measured: 3.2x realtime render, about 16 credits a minute
• Breath noise gated at -39 dB, sibilance fixed with a de-esser instead of a denoiser

Video QC gates

Two scripted gates check every graphic before render and every rendered file after, then two reviewer agents judge motion and edit. Failures get fixed and re-run before anything reaches me.

• Layout gate: clipping, overflow, safe area, palette
• Render gate: empty, static, hold, frame rate, duration, duplicates
• 33 of 33 cuts snapped to real transcript cues

Generative image practice

Campaign work runs off a reusable prompt spec that locks lens, light, palette and a reserved text zone, and varies only the subject. The image platform is wired into the agent stack, so a batch runs with identical art direction every time.

• 1,395 assets produced
• 1,051 generations, 262 edits, 57 video pieces
• Driven programmatically over MCP

• 3 recurring presenters
• Identity derived from 5 to 8 reference shots

The Blackbook

My skill library. Every process I work out gets written down with its trigger, its steps, its checks and the numbers behind it, then versioned, so the next run is identical and someone else can run it without asking me.

• Versioned in git with an index and an archive
• Four shared publicly below

Conversational lead schema

A field schema, write rules and tag system for an Instagram DM lead-capture system, written for a prospect from their public job post. It separates AI-extracted values from confirmed ones so the team keeps trusting the data.

• 27 fields, a write rule for each
• 4 conflicts found in the client's own field list

Mixed-cart order routing

Line-item routing for a fulfillment case the obvious design breaks on, plus the system-of-record boundary that keeps the integration maintainable.
