The Portfolio

6 apps in production. Each one solving a real, often unsexy, business problem.

01Operations · Quality

RCA Flow

Root cause analysis, accelerated by AI.

RCA Flow turns ad-hoc incident reviews into a repeatable, intelligence-augmented practice. Teams document failures inside a guided 5-Whys / Fishbone workflow while an embedded AI assistant cross-references symptoms, prior incidents and domain knowledge to propose likely causes — cutting investigation time and raising the quality of corrective actions.

  • Guided 5-Whys and Fishbone canvases
  • AI-generated cause hypotheses with confidence
  • Cross-incident pattern detection
  • Exportable corrective action reports

M32 Citizen CNC Program Analyser

Read, write and check CNC programs with AI assistance.

Built for machinists and programmers running Citizen M32 sliding-head lathes. Upload a CNC program or a blueprint and the analyser explains every block, flags potential collisions, suggests cycle-time improvements and helps draft new programs from scratch — reducing setup time and protecting tooling.

  • Line-by-line CNC program explanation
  • Cycle-time and tool-path improvement suggestions
  • Blueprint → program drafting assistant
  • Citizen M32 specific G-code intelligence

Ship It — App Builder

From idea to deployed web app, agentically.

Ship It compresses the entire 'first version' loop. Type the title of an app you want to exist; an autonomous agent designs the data model, generates the front-end, writes the API and pushes a live deployment to Vercel. Use it to validate ideas in minutes instead of weeks.

  • End-to-end agentic build pipeline
  • Automatic Vercel deployment
  • Editable generated codebase
  • Iterative refinement via natural language

Hydraulics Calculator

Pressures, flows and orifice sizing — instantly.

Replace tattered reference sheets with an interface engineers actually enjoy using. The Hydraulics Calculator covers the core formulas distributors and design engineers reach for daily — laid out for keyboard speed, with clear unit handling and a memory of recent calculations.

  • Pressure, flow, orifice and velocity calculations
  • Imperial / metric unit handling
  • Keyboard-first workflow
  • Recent calculation history

PRD Builder

Write a full software PRD — in minutes.

PRD Builder interviews you about the product you want to build, then produces a rigorous Product Requirements Document alongside a tuned CLAUDE.md that gives downstream coding agents everything they need: goals, scope, data model, API contracts, milestones and edge cases.

  • Guided PRD interview flow
  • Generates paired CLAUDE.md planning file
  • Exports to Markdown, Notion and Linear
  • Tuned for agentic downstream builds

Liam's Digital Twin

My career and experience, on tap.

Liam's Digital Twin turns a static résumé into a dialogue. Trained on a structured career profile, it answers recruiter and collaborator questions in natural language — surfacing the most relevant experience for every question instead of forcing readers to skim a PDF.

  • Conversational answers about career and projects
  • Grounded in a structured profile — no fabrication
  • Suggested follow-up questions to keep the chat flowing
  • Embeddable on any portfolio or personal site

The Studio

An applied-AI studio for businesses that build things.

Smart Business AI is a small, sharp studio. We design, build and ship intelligent software for engineering, manufacturing and product teams — and we use the same tools we sell.

Every product in the portfolio is built end-to-end inside the studio: research, design, code, deployment and the long tail of iteration. No outsourced layers. No throwaway prototypes dressed up as products.

01

Domain before model

We start with the actual problem inside the business — the machine shop, the engineering bench, the product backlog. The AI fits the work, not the other way around.

02

Ship the smallest useful thing

Every product begins as a focused tool one person can use today. We earn the right to expand by being indispensable at one thing first.

03

Boring reliability over flashy demos

Real businesses adopt tools that work the tenth time as well as the first. We design for the long Tuesday afternoon, not the launch tweet.

04

Built by the operator

Every app in the portfolio was built by someone who has worked the problem it solves — not theorised about it from a slide deck.

Get in touch

Let's build something worth shipping.

Whether you have a problem to solve, an app to commission, or you're curious about one of the products in the portfolio — the studio is open.
