Deep in AI,
fluent in business.

I'm Jake Richardson. I research, build and ship AI systems: agents, MCP connectors and custom apps, with a marketer's instinct for where the growth is.

Answers only from what this site publishes. Short on purpose.

Tools I build with

The system is
only half the job.

I've shipped workflows, MCP servers and integrations, design systems, and web apps and tools for teams in small businesses and enterprise organizations. I research the problem, build the system, connect it to the way people work, and stay for the adoption.

I'm not attached to making everything AI-powered. I'm attached to making it work better.

Move faster without
breaking the business.

I connect models to the systems a business already runs on: the CRM, the content library, the events platform. Scoped access, a person approving the risky steps, and evidence before anyone trusts the output.

Tools in scope

Draft. Writes the first version for a person to finish. Anything that leaves the building waits for a person. In scope: CRM, Email, Files.

Agents with guardrails

Every agent I deploy gets a scope, a review step and a hard stop. Flip the controls: the policy decides what it may touch.

I take the complexity.
You get the leverage.

Researcher when the answer is unclear. Builder when it's time to make it real. Strategist throughout.

  1. Find the leverage.

    Understand the customer, the commercial opportunity, and where the work gets stuck. Challenge the brief before automating the wrong thing.

  2. Research the answer.

    Test the models, tools, and assumptions against the actual task. A convincing demo is not the same thing as a dependable system.

  3. Build it into the business.

    Develop the application, connect the workflow, and make the experience usable. The technology has to fit the people, not the other way around.

  4. Make adoption stick.

    Train the team, watch what happens, and improve the system. Launch is a checkpoint. Useful is the goal.

From first websites to what comes next.
