The Ivy Saratoga
Real-world automations running inside a salon: operations, recruiting, billing, compliance, and smart devices.
I build practical AI systems around real businesses, document what works, and turn the experiments into playbooks you can use. Start with the Sunday email — the best stuff lands there first.


Consulting
Practical systems, not vague strategy.
Live experiment
45 days
Persistent AI assistant layer running in public with memory, jobs, and tools.
Visual proof
AI can feel abstract fast. This site is built around proof: the businesses, assistants, media, and workflows already running in the real world.

Real-world automations running inside a salon: operations, recruiting, billing, compliance, and smart devices.

A live assistant layer with memory, scheduled jobs, connected tools, and home automation hooks.

Behind-the-scenes breakdowns of the prompts, systems, workflows, and experiments worth copying.

Design direction
White space and photography make the site feel more approachable, while the black cards and mono labels keep the operator energy.
01 / AI workflows
Prompt libraries are cute. The leverage comes from persistent agents, scheduled jobs, internal tools, and workflows that keep moving after you close the laptop.
02 / Local business
The Ivy keeps the site grounded: not theory, not AI hype — actual service business problems with messy human constraints.
03 / Media + training
YouTube, workshops, and the Sunday email turn the experiments into practical playbooks for people who want to move faster.
