I build the tools I wish I had when the work was due.

I am Jake. I build practical AI workflows for marketing work, then write down what they produce, what breaks, and where a person needs to make the call.

My background is growth and product. I have spent years running experiments, building retention loops, and tightening funnels. That work shapes the files here: start with a real input, make an output someone can inspect, and keep a human review step before it ships.

I am also building Personably, a CRM for ecommerce brands that is still in development. The aim is to connect customer context across tools and put generated messages through a review queue. I also run NorthSignal, where I work on search visibility and AI citations for owner-led businesses. Earlier, I made retail-investing videos. Explaining a complicated decision in a way someone can use still guides this work.

This site is my build log and file shelf. I share the instructions, examples, and limits so you can judge whether a workflow fits your own work before you give it your time or money.

You should be able to see what goes into a tool and what comes out. If the evidence is thin, the answer should say so.

Start with the work you have

For the reasoning behind the files, read the field notes and research frameworks.
