Applied AI Builder · Product Strategist · Upstate NY · Remote
Usually in the first meeting. Usually with AI. Fifteen years of being hired by the people who paid me, not by a résumé — Jon Benson, Anik Singal, an eight-figure PE investor, a company I doubled in ten weeks as COO. Now I want to point that at one mission.

01
I read the CRM, the ad account, the call recordings, the emails — the stuff you've been living inside — and find the constraint. Then I try to break my own answer before I hand it to you.
Clockwork: 1,089 deals, a 35% churn misread caught, my own thesis reversed in writing.

A prototype in days, a skill in thirty minutes on a live call, a full product when it's warranted.

On recordHire me
For three years I've walked into founders' businesses, found what was actually broken, built the fix myself, and taught them to run it. That is the job description for forward-deployed, applied-AI, and solutions roles at AI-native companies — I've just been doing it without the badge.
Work with me
I'll look at the data you already have and tell you what's actually wrong — usually in the first meeting, often with a fix on the call. I'll also tell you when the thing you asked for is the wrong thing, even when it costs me the engagement. It has, twice. Both times a bigger one followed.
“Working with Andrew didn't just save me time. It got me back on stage.”
“I don't think there's many people that can even touch Andrew when it comes to AI.”
“By far the best AI expert I've had a chance to talk to.”

A conversation vault, not an AI notetaker. Every call, exposed to any model through MCP.

Hinges — AI as external executive function for ADHD and 2e founders. Little hinges swing big doors.
The manifesto. Why the productivity advice you were handed assumed a nervous system you don't have — and what changes when AI carries the executive function instead.
Six thousand words of the actual mechanisms — activation cost, time blindness, the last mile — written so you can name yours instead of apologizing for it.
One action, multiple outputs, net-negative cost. The framework behind everything else on this site.
