branch 02 · ai

i don't just advise on AI. i install it.

most consultants hand you a slide deck. i build the systems, integrate them into your stack, and hand them off running. ai in your ops, your content pipeline, your sales outreach, your internal tools. and if you need someone to run marketing and sales with AI as fractional CMO — that's in scope too.

why ai is the branch

an ai-native studio, not an ai-curious agency.

most agencies are learning ai by doing ai consulting. we're an ai-native studio that runs entirely on agents — and we'd like to teach you to do the same inside your business.

01

we live in it

20+ concurrent claude code sessions, 62 custom skills, an 8-agent orchestration system. all delivery work runs through this. you get someone who knows what actually works at scale because we use it every day.

02

model-agnostic, claude-fluent

claude is our daily driver, but we'll integrate whatever fits — openai, local llama, gemini, ollama on your own server. tooling decisions follow the use case, not the vendor.

03

owned, not rented

we build ai layers that live inside your stack — your db, your code, your repo. no platform lock-in. when we hand off, you can keep building without us.

six engagement modes

audit, build, integrate, train, retain, or run marketing.

every engagement starts with understanding what's actually possible inside your business. the audit is the cheapest, fastest way to find out.

A

the ai audit

recorded loom walkthrough of your existing workflows, content pipeline, support ops, sales process — with a prioritized punch list of where ai integration creates the most leverage. written 8-page report. 60-minute review call. credit applies in full toward any integration build that follows.

B

the strategy day

a full day together (in-person in mexico, or remote). morning: discovery on what you're trying to do. afternoon: we build a working ai tool or workflow prototype together, live, in the room. you leave with something running on your laptop and the source code.

C

ai integration build

content engines, agent workflows, support bots, internal tools, lead routing, ops automation. integrated into your existing systems (your db, your code, your repo, your auth). owned by you. for teams that have figured out where ai fits and are ready to build.

D

team workshop

a structured session for your team on claude code, agent systems, ai workflows. live demos of the 8-agent orchestration system we use daily, plus hands-on adoption of the parts that fit your team. for engineering teams, ops teams, or founder + 1–2 collaborators.

E

ai retainer

for teams that want continuous ai integration after the first build. monthly cadence of: 1 new agent/workflow shipped, 1 strategy call, async availability for model/tool questions. for companies investing in ai as core infrastructure, not as a one-off.

F

fractional CMO

i run your marketing and sales function part-time. strategy, content pipeline, outreach sequences, campaign execution — all built on AI systems that scale without hiring a team. the difference: i build the stack myself. you own everything when we're done — code, workflows, prompts. for founders who need marketing output but not a full-time marketing hire.

ai systems built and running

what an ai-native studio actually looks like.

three systems running inside astral labs today. proof that the orchestration system is real, not just a slogan.

01

prospects pipeline

end-to-end ai prospecting engine

claude haiku claude sonnet opus 4.7 postgres

425 prospects in db. daily cron: scout → enrich (deep scrape + claude haiku brief) → score (haiku) → draft email (sonnet) → human review dashboard. nothing auto-sends.

02

8-agent orchestration

multi-session coordination system

tmux claude code file-based bus cross-session

20+ concurrent claude code sessions, each with its own project + tmux + agent role. file-based event bus + status registry. one orchestrator routes work. 62 custom skills.

03

signal

ai market intelligence + alerting

ollama qwen3 postgres multi-source

crypto + macro signal aggregator. ingests from multiple sources, ranks via local qwen3, posts daily digests to rocket.chat. all delivery runs on ollama, not cloud apis.

who this is for

you're building something real.

i work best with founders, operators, and practitioners who want AI actually embedded in their operations — not a subscription to ChatGPT and a hope.

01

founders + operators

you have product-market fit and workflows that need to scale. you've tried AI tools but nothing your team used actually stuck. you want someone who installs the system, not someone who teaches you to prompt.

02

practitioners + creators

wellness, education, lineage work — you've built real community and real expertise. you want the business to run while you do the work you're actually here for. i understand this world because i live in it.

03

teams adopting AI

your team is using scattered AI tools with no coherent system. or leadership has mandated AI and nobody knows how to actually do it. i audit, design, and install the whole stack — and train your team to run it.

where do you want to start?

30 minutes. i'll understand your business, where AI fits, and what a specific engagement looks like. no pitch — just a working conversation.
