— a quick note

I built my first small-business website while I was still in middle school. From there I kept learning; C++, Java, always tinkering. Life eventually pulled me into non-tech business, but the obsession with building useful software never really went away.

When GPT-3 landed almost six years ago, I started using AI to solve real internal problems for business and fun side projects. Rowant Labs is the playground for that work.

Real time fire intelligence. AI transcription picks up almost half a million radio calls a month. These calls are filtered, ran through AI decision trees so small restoration companies can help people in need. This used to be reserved to large or predatory companies.

Building

Pulling SmokeTag's dispatch parser into a single shared service.

Often AI products need one thing. Structured reliable data from messy human input. Refinement is key.

Shipping

Construction Mgmt — moving the estimate engine from internal tool to actual product.

Creating project management tools from scratch -- not just one off super niche tooling.

Asking

How small can a real ops product be? What is the marketing flow like?

Currently headspace is building. Marketing needs focus. Pump the breaks? Lets build our way through the bottle neck.
